THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Man is an amalgam of body, mind and spirit. The senses of perception and action, which form the components of the body, are busy contacting the objective world. The mind examines, experiences and judges. It decides after discrimination, which word or deed will be beneficial. It attempts to separate the good from the bad, the Punya (virtuous deed) from the Paapa (sinful action), the true from the false, and the permanent from the momentary. The Spirit or the Atma is the unaffected basis. Its quality is Sath (being) but it is ever aware, ever Chith (consciousness). And when the consciousness is pure and unchanging, that state is Ananda (divine bliss).

- Baba
