Thought for the day -17th September 2004
2羽のオウムが木にとまっていました。猟師がそれらを捕らえ、一羽は残酷で卑しい肉屋へ、もう一羽はアシュラム(寺院)でヴェーダを教えている僧侶に売りました。数年後、かれが再び訪ねてみると、驚いたことに一羽は口汚いののしり言葉を身につけ、もう一羽は聞き手を魅了する美しい旋律で神の栄光を歌っていました。このように、環境の影響ははかり知れません。それゆえ、日頃からサットサング(善良で神聖な人々)との交わりを保ちなさい。

There were two parrots on a tree. A hunter trapped them and sold them. One to a low, cruel butcher and the other to a sage who was running an ashram (hermitage) to teach the Vedas. After a few years, he was surprised to find that one bird swore very foully, while the other recited the glory of the Lord in a sweet musical tone which captivated the listeners. Such is the effect of the environment; so always seek and secure Sathsang (company of good and holy people).
