THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There is no distinction between Bhakti (Devotion) and Jnana (Wisdom). Just as the worship of the Saguna (God with Form) gets transformed in to worship of Nirguna (Formless Divinity), Bhakti too matures in to Jnana. A block of sweet, when cut into three equal pieces has the same sweetness, weight and shape. The three attributes cannot be separated as we do not find sweetness in one part, weight in another and shape in the third part. When the sweet is placed on the tongue and it starts to melt, the taste is recognized, weight is lessened and shape modified simultaneously. So too, the Jiva (individual soul) and the Paramatma (divine soul) are not separate. They are one and the same. Therefore, each act you undertake must be in the spirit of service, love and wisdom. This is verily the roadmap to reach God.
