Thought for the Week

How can we draw Bhagawan’s unsullied, motherly love upon us?

Bhagawan most endearingly explains how we must transform our lives for that.

Sacred books are worshipped; flowers are showered on them; even food is sanctified by being offered to them; they are carried in procession with pipers and drummers in front through the streets. But, as to reading them or trying to understand what they contain, or practising a bit of what they were written for – that is an impossible task, for most! I shall tell you just one thing which those books teach; one thing which I want you to resolve to follow: “Do not seek to find fault in others, give up para-dushana and para-himsa (maligning and injuring others); do not scandalise anyone, do not feel envy or malice. Be always sweet in temperament, in talk. Fill your conversation with devotion and humility.” Live with love, in love, for love. Then the Lord who is Premaswarupa (Divine Love personified) will grant you all that you need, in spite of your not asking for anything. He knows; He is the Mother who does not wait to hear the moan of the child to feed it. His prema is so vast and deep; He anticipates every need and rushes with help you must have. – Divine Discourse, Jul 13, 1965. BABA
