Thought of the day

Never forget that you are Divine, that you are righteousness personified. Your duty (dharma) is to cultivate your faculties for the great adventure of realizing your oneness with the Divine. To accomplish that, your mind and intelligence must be fixed on your chosen Lord. You must meditate on Him in solitude and silence. Cultivate concentration. If your attention is distracted, no progress can be made. However, if you practice meditation in silence and solitude, you will be able to establish and retain that silence even in the busiest thoroughfares. Talk less, deliberately think more and practise discrimination. Then you can empty the mind of impulses, prejudices and preferences. In this manner you must strive to realize your true nature.
