Hating the past amounts to foiling the future. To be gloating over the past is the way of the slovenly. To drag the past and the future into the living present is the way of the industrious and the prosperous. To be beyond time is the way of the wise. Unmindful of time he does the right thing.

Sep 22 | THE SKELETON | Daily Divine Digest

Almost all have seen the human skeleton. If it were to tell its autobiography it would impress effectively on man's mind. Life on earth is evanescent. The born one may die at any moment. Remembrance of this fact would tone down many an impetuosity in life. A balanced outlook would be the result.

Sep 20 | WAKEFULNESS | Daily Divine Digest

To be immersed in ignorance is as dormant as being in sleep. Being under the sway of the senses is also as defective as being in ignorance. Man has passed through many births in this manner. He really wakes up when he realizes he is Atman.

Mind gets complicated and blurred when it is given to calculation and guile. Its directness is lost thereby. The spiritually evolving man has to rid the mind of all acquired dispositions. Its native simplicity is the real kingdom of heaven. It has to be regained.

Sep 13 | TRANQUIL IN TURMOIL | Daily Divine Digest

Man is in search of many things. But he does not get all that he wants. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction play hide-and-seek with him. The latter disturbs him more. The remedy is subjective. Man must practise calmness when there are causes for concern.

A dyeing shop had a solitary tub. People brought cloths to be dyed in various colours. The dyer dipped them all in the same tub and brought out all the required hues. A customer left the choice of colour with the dyer. He in turn left the cloth white-a symbol of purity.

Sep 08 | RIGHT LIVING | Daily Divine Digest

Indulgent living is wrong. Restrained living is right. Thought of the welfare of the others must dominate over the thought of self-interest. Right living causes the least hindrance to the others and the maximum good to all.

Sep 07 | DEVOTION | Daily Divine Digest

Expectation of a reward and the practice of devotion do not co-exist. Devotion expresses itself in the form of service. No work done for the Lord is felt hard or tiresome. Joy increases along with the exertion for the glory of the Creator. As devotion waxes selfishness wanes. Devotion is its own reward.

Sep 06 | SINCERITY | Daily Divine Digest

A man sincere to his ideal does not seek recognition. In obscurity he is all earnestness and labour. Ostentation is absent in him. Love of show is the opposite of sincerity. Nothing can tempt and divert the sincere man. Idleness is something unknown to him. Sincerity is its own reward. Satisfaction is its by-product.

Many places may be visited, but man must learn to live steadily in one place. Vocations are many. Man must choose for himself the vocation best suited to him. Then there must be an unflinching applica-tion to it. Adherence to one sound method of execution is all important.

Sep 02 | GOD | Daily Divine Digest

The self-interested theologians have created a jealous personal God bent on protecting his adherents and damning the votaries of the rival gods. The whole of this fabric is an arrant fiction. The impersonal cosmic Intelligence governs the universe. It is the only Reality common to all. There is no objection to labelling It as God.

Sep 01 | SPIRITUAL ANGUISH | Daily Divine Digest

It is not given to all to develop spiritual anguish. Experienced ones see into the emptiness of earthly life. An awakening takes place in them. They hanker after the persisting reality. They know of no rest until the Imperishable is realized.
