THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
OUR MOST BELOVED BHAGAWAN’S
DIVINE MESSAGE
Scriptures are only road-maps; at best they
are guide-books that give directions for the
destination. It is the actual journey that will
reveal the hardships, the delays, the landslips, the potholes as well as the beauty of
the scenic route on the way, and the
magnificence of the destination. No
secondhand account can equal the firsthand
experience! The symbols on the map are
interpreted differently by different scholars
according to their preconceived notions,
predilections and pet theories. If you acquire
Love, then you can dispense with the
Scriptures; for the purpose of all the Scriptures is just that: to create the feeling
of Sarvajana samaana prema (equal love for all), and to negate egoism which stands
in the way. Reason too, if it comes in the way of this love, is to be discarded as
'perverted'. (Divine Discourse, April 12, 1959.)
