Thought for the Day - 21st January 2011

How can those who are aware only of mere sensual pleasure know the Supreme Truth? The craving for sensual pleasure veils the truth from the inner eye. That craving manifests in multiple ways, creating more and more desires and laying down more and more urges to action. These hide the truth from our eye like a thick veil. The recognition of this veil is a big step in spiritual progress. This is the Maya Principle (delusion) of Vedanta. From immemorial times, though the Truth was self-evident, this curtain has hidden it from people. Fortunate are those who have achieved great strength in spirit, holding God as their father, mother, Guru, friend, and the beloved. They adored God as dearer to them than anything or anyone, here or hereafter.
