Spiritual guide...

You may constantly repeat the name of the Lord,
Constantly rotating your rosary beads.
But you must use this strength of the Lord's name,
And put it into practice.
Repetition of My name,
With no change in the pattern of your behavior,
Is of no use.
My name depicts strength of goodness.
My form depicts purity.
My speech depicts truth.
My smile depicts selfless love.
These are the virtues you too must depict.
You, My child, are My reflection.
Then how can any of your strengths
Differ from Mine ?
It is time to wipe off the mist on your mirrors.
Look closely and recognize your own image.

We think that we are weak. Thinking in this manner is a big mistake. We are not weak. There is no one who is as powerful as a human being. Despite being powerful, people are afraid of many things. They are even afraid or worried about small ailments. Why this fear? Why is a person afraid? This is due to an inherent mistake. If there is no error or mistake, there will be no fear. That mistake is to think and act such that ‘we are the body’. We are not this body. Body, mind, senses and intelligence are instruments and you are the Master. Master your mind and become a mastermind. Enquire into the activities of your daily life and understand and experience the Truth. Become the Master, then you can merge in everything and experience Divinity

Thought for the day...

Although there may be differences 
among nations in their food and habits, 
the spirit of harmony and unity displayed 
in sports is a gratifying example to all. 

It is a distinctive quality of sports 
that differences are forgotten and persons 
engage themselves in games in a divine spirit of camaraderie. 

Sports help the players not only
to improve their health but also to experience joy. 
However, you should not be content with realising 
these benefits alone.

You have another body besides the physical;
it is the subtle body, otherwise known as the mind.
It is equally essential to promote purity of the mind
and develop large heartedness. 

True humanness blossoms only
when the body, the mind and the spirit 
are developed harmoniously. 
The enthusiasm and effort you display in sports 
should also manifest in the spheres of morality and spirituality
