THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
OUR MOST BELOVED BHAGAWAN’S DIVINE MESSAGE 
Be careful to not engage yourself in Iccha 
Krishi (the cultivation of wants and desires). 
This is a never ending process of sowing and 
reaping, you will never reach contentment. 
For, one desire, when satisfied will fan the 
thirst for ten more. Be warned! Do not run 
after devious desires or crooked 
satisfactions. All roads leading to the realm 
of the senses are tortuous and blind. Only 
the road that leads to God is straight. 
Cultivate straightforwardness (Neethi) in 
your every act. That will reveal the Divine in 
due course. It will also enable you to 
overcome your threeGunas (Rajas, Sathwa and Tamo). Just as you grind chilly, salt 
and tamarind to get a tasty dish, you must grind all the three Gunas so that the taste 
of Ananda (bliss) emerges.(Divine Discourse, Apr 12, 1959.)
