THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If we sow a thought today, we reap an act tomorrow. If we sow an act today, we reap a habit tomorrow. If we sow a habit today, we reap a character tomorrow. If we sow a character today, we reap a destiny tomorrow. You do not lose much if a finger is so damaged that it needs to be cut off. The body can still function and be a fit instrument. Even if you lose a limb, you can function and benefit with the help of your other faculties. But if you lose your character, then everything is lost. The crisis of character which is at the root of all the troubles everywhere, has come about as a result of the neglect of this aspect of education. Wisdom thrives when man is afraid of vice and sin and is attached to the Divine.
