THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
OUR MOST BELOVED BHAGAWAN’S DIVINE MESSAGE
Treading the Spiritual Path (Sadhana) is very essential
because the effects of karma have to be removed
by karma alone, as a thorn can be removed only by
another thorn. You cannot remove a thorn by a knife, or a
hammer or even a sword. The knowledge that the world is
unreal was spread by great saints and noble souls, who
realised the Divine. But great saints like Shankaracharya
persisted in activity in the unreal world, through the
establishments of mutts, writing of books and
participating in difficult debates. This is to illustrate that
you cannot desist from doing karma. However, you must
take care that it is saturated with love and promotes the
welfare of the world. Soak yourself in Love and purify your
thoughts and deeds with Love, then the Lord Himself will awaken your higher consciousness!
(Divine Discourse, Apr 12, 1959
