Thought for the day

あなたを弱気にしたり、心配させたりして気を紛らわす人々からは距離を置くことが賢明です。朝晩欠かさずに、数分間を神と共に静寂の中で過ごしなさい。向上、触発する仲間たちと共に過ごし、こころの中で神を崇め、あなたの行うすべての仕事を神に捧げなさい。あなたが静寂の中から立ちあがるとき、その中に入り始めたときよりもさらに気高くなるでしょう。

ババ

It is best that you stay away from people who drag you to distractions that weaken and worry you. Spend a few minutes every morning and evening in the silence of your own home with God. Be in His elevating and inspiring company, worship Him mentally and offer unto Him all the work you do. When you come out of the silence, you will be more nobler than when you went in.

- Baba
