Thought for the Day

Ordinary humans struggle to win material happiness and external pleasures. They do not seek the spiritual bliss (Ananda) that the Atma, their inner reality, can grant. They lose the great opportunity of experiencing it, and they don't take any steps appropriate for the purpose. All the time, their attention is directed only to the external world. It does not turn inward. Looking outward is the characteristic of animals, not of humans. The important organs of sense perception in the human body - the eye, the nose, the tongue, etc. - all open outward in order to contact external objects. The Sovereign Lord is the embodiment of indivisible sweetness (Rasa), the treasure house of bliss, can be realized only when you look inward. A wise person would gradually and steadily endeavour to look inward and acquire that victory of Bliss.

- Baba
