Message for the Day…”Your homes must be immersed in the highest peace (shanti) — undisturbed by any streak of hatred, malice, pride, or envy. No worship or penance can equal the efficacy of obedience to the command given for your liberation”.
Unbelief is the insidious disease that is now rampant amongst people. It sets fire to the tiny shoots of faith and reduces life to cinders and ashes. You have no criterion to judge, yet you pretend to judge. Doubt, anger, poison, illness — all these must be destroyed before they grow. Repeat Rama’s name, whether you have faith or not. That will itself induce faith and create the evidence on which faith can be built. In addition, if you aspire to be a devotee, you must eschew attachment and aversion. You should not be proud if you sing well or decorate your worship room tastefully. There must be a steady improvement in your habits and attitudes; otherwise, spiritual discipline is a vain pastime. Your homes must be immersed in the highest peace (shanti) — undisturbed by any streak of hatred, malice, pride, or envy. No worship or penance can equal the efficacy of obedience to the command given for your liberation.

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை ….’ சுமையும் சுகங்களும் “
சுமைகளும் சுகங்களும்
———————–
கருவில் சுமக்கும் குழந்தை தாய்க்கு சுமையல்ல
தோளில் பிள்ளை …ஒரு தந்தைக்கு சுமை இல்லை !
சுமையும் சுகமாக தோன்றும் நேரம் அது !
நிழலின் சுகம் வெய்யிலை சுமந்தவனுக்கு புரியும் !
நீரின் சுகம் பாலைவனத்தில் நடப்பவனுக்கு தெரியும் !
ஒளியின் சுகம் இருளில் புரியும் ! பொருளின்
அருமை அது இல்லாதவனுக்கு தெரியும் !
ஒரு சுமையை சுமந்தவனுக்கு மட்டுமே புரியும்
சுகத்தின் அருமை!
சுமை சுமக்காமல் சுகம் இல்லை … சுகம்
அளிக்காத சுமையும் இல்லை !
சுமை சுமப்பவனுக்கு சுகம் நிச்சயம் !
சுமை தவிர்த்து சுகம் மட்டும் நாடும்
ஒருவனுக்கு அந்த சுகமே சுமையாய் மாறும் !

Message for the Day …”The flute is a very good example of an instrument close to the Lord and the one great quality in the flute is its complete surrender. There is nothing left inside the flute – it has no residual desires and is completely hollow.”
The word surrender has been misinterpreted and people promote idleness in the name of surrender. We think that we have surrendered our mind and body to the Lord. Your mind is not under your own control, how then can you hold it and give it to the Lord? You have no control over your own body too. So to say that you have surrendered your mind and body to the Lord is untrue! The flute is a very good example of an instrument close to the Lord and the one great quality in the flute is its complete surrender. There is nothing left inside the flute – it has no residual desires and is completely hollow. Like the flute has nine holes, our body also has nine holes. If we successfully remove the pulp of desire from our body, then there is no doubt that our body-flute will also become nearer and dearer to the Lord.

Message for the Day…”For saplings to grow, soil is essential; for ideals to get implanted, knowledge of the struggles and successes of saints and sages is essential.”
Everyone must be interested in knowing about the experiences of ideal ones who struggled to arrive at the Truth; for all should have an ideal to strive for, a goal to be reached. For saplings to grow, soil is essential; for ideals to get implanted, knowledge of the struggles and successes of saints and sages is essential. These experiences are not uniform; each spiritual aspirant has a different story to tell, depending upon their equipment and enthusiasm. So the vision and the glory are different, though all are divine. Take the case of Sage Agastya. He is reported to have drunk the ocean completely in one sip. The real meaning of this is, he dried up the ocean of the objective world (samsara), with its waves of grief and joy, prosperity and adversity, success and failure. ‘Drinking the ocean’ is not a special feat; it is a parable explaining that though he was a married man with a son, he conquered all attachments of the world.

St. Pierre and Miquelon: The Last French Colony in North America…
Message for the Day…”Do not forget that what ultimately comes with you is not your wealth or education, but the sin or merit you have accumulated through your actions.”
Gladly share your education and wealth with your fellow human beings. God is the real owner of the wealth you acquire. Remember, the money you earn belongs to God’s Trust. You are His Trustee and accordingly, make proper utilisation of your wealth. Do not hanker over money or other forms of wealth. Instead, constantly contemplate on God. You don’t have to go to caves or forests or ashrams in search of Him. Wherever you are, He is with you. Develop this faith and win over your demonic qualities. Do not forget that what ultimately comes with you is not your wealth or education, but the sin or merit you have accumulated through your actions. Share at least a morsel of what you eat with others. Never forget to practice selfless love and service. Help yourself and help others, this is indeed the greatest spiritual practice (sadhana). Without following these principles, there is no peace and joy, anywhere in the world!
