THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Teachers reveal the direction and the goal to their students. The skill and
the strength, the status and stature of humankind are shaped and furthered
in proportion to the quality and character of its teachers. Teachers must
dedicate their learning and wisdom to the great task of uplifting pupils to
higher levels of knowledge and action. The virtues which they help to
inculcate in their pupils are essential for the uplift of the society.
Character is the hallmark of every person. When virtues are deep-rooted in
the heart, everyone in the society can shine with full glory.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
While dealing with uncultured folks, you must exercise caution. So too, you
must be careful with ungrateful fellows, who forget the good done to them.
The law is the instrument that Government will use to punish those who do
wrong. As educated persons and students, you should not condemn difficult
people outright. You must manifest your natural virtue of detachment and
practise your characteristic attitude of helpfulness.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The Divine is the base, and is also the superstructure. The beads are many,
but the interconnecting, integrating string of the rosary is one. So also,
for the entire world of living beings, God, the permanent, omnipresent
Parabrahman, the Supreme Divine Consciousness, is the base. “Soham”, “I am
God", “He is I”, “I am that”, all these axioms indicate that even those who
differentiate themselves under various names and forms are in fact God
Himself. This is why the scriptures proclaim, “Brahmavith Brahmaiva Bhavathi”
(He who realises Brahman becomes verily Brahman). This awareness of the
Divine in oneself is the awareness of the Reality.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Even the smallest acts of Lord Sri Krishna were saturated with
supreme sweetness. Krishna was everyone's dearest kinsman and
fastest comrade. The Leelas (Divine Sport) of Krishna were sweet and
meaningful. All activities of Krishna were for the wellbeing of the
world. His advent was for the uplift of the world from wickedness
and unrighteousness. It was also for fulfilling the needs of those
who were devoted to Him, for the establishment of righteousness and
the revival of the Vedas. Though people caught in the coils of
ignorance perceived the Leelas as self-centred and even motivated by
delusion, genuine devotees cherished each one of these as
significant and sustaining examples of His Divine Grace. The Lord
showers grace on each and every one in such a way that suits the
time, the person and their aspirations.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
You must not forget the fact that God is in perceptible form in all
beings. Service rendered to any being is service offered to God. This
has to be the chief goal of all educated. Nara is Narayana (Man is God).
Every single act of yours has to be elevated as an act of service to
God. You must not only serve those who help you but also those who harm
you. This attitude makes the service doubly holy. Serving those who do
service to us is but a natural reaction. Serving those who harm us is
the greater virtue. For, this latter course of action involves deeper
understanding of your best interest and an alert sense of time, place
and circumstance. Education must confer and cultivate these qualities.
