Message For the Day…” Childhood is a Very Sacred and Golden Phase in Human Life …”

Today many parents, even those highly educated, are acting without any sense of discrimination – discouraging children from worshipping God and participating in bhajans. They tell them that they would have ample time to think of God, post retirement. This is a grave mistake. You can remember God in old age, only when you practice thinking of Him from early on. Childhood is a very sacred and golden phase in human life – do not misuse it! Gayatri Mantra is the embodiment of Mother Principle. Practice chanting it every day – in the morning, afternoon and evening. When your back is towards the Sun, your shadow will be in front of you. It will fall behind you only when you stand facing the Sun. Similarly illusion (maya), which is like your shadow, will overpower you when you turn your mind away from God. You can easily overcome illusion, when you turn your mind towards God.

Sathya Sai Baba

    This is a powerful post. Please keep sharing =) as the youngest child in my family, I can say as you grow older time begins to slip out if your hands. Having work, chores, social outings and many other distractions – we forget about our soul and it’s origin. Spending at least a few minutes a day thanking and thinking or meditating is a good start to form a thoughtful habit. From this small habit we can think of all the good we can do and how God emerges from the good thoughts and actions we share. Positivity comes alive and negativity dies away. It is a chain reaction.
