THOUGHT FOR THE DAY AS WRITTEN IN PRASANTHI NILAYAM - JUNE 11, 2026

What are the three forms of attachment that bind man and obstruct his path to liberation? Bhagawan answers this key question for us today so that we may introspect.

There is one common quality present in all living beings: Moha (attachment). This quality is present equally in human beings too. But humans alone have the competence to overcome this moha and attain moksha (liberation). The maya (illusion) which envelops man drives him to take to wrong courses. Maya has three qualities: Satwa, Rajas, and Tamas (purity, passion, and inertia). Through these qualities, man tends to forget his divinity and humanness and behaves like an animal. The three qualities of maya and the three forms of moha combine to make man a demon. The three forms of moha are the desire for wealth, attachment to the wife, and attachment to children. These three make man a slave to moha. The man who conquers these three desires can transcend moha. When moha declines, moksha becomes attainable. Liberation is the elimination of moha (attachment). Everyone should strive to bring these three desires under control.

Why do some devotees feel distant from God, and what should they do? Bhagawan clarifies for us today, so that we may introspect and strive to move closer to Him.

On various occasions, the Lord subjects the devotees to different kinds of tests and trials with a view to raising them spiritually to a higher level. The Lord, who is the source of all wisdom, will confer illumination only on those who approach Him. Those who feel that Bhagawan has not seen them or spoken to them should ask themselves how close they are mentally to Bhagawan and how near they are to the Lord in their practices. Each one should engage themselves in the process of self-enquiry. The Lord has neither agraha (anger) nor anugraha (benevolence). Even when He appears to be harsh, there is grace in that harshness. When He appears to chastise, there is compassion in it. When He seems to be angry, there is love behind it. Only those who understand the nature of the Divinity can appreciate the ways of the Divine. The Divine resorts to certain kinds of punishments to make the devotee pursue the right path and enable him to lead an ideal life. Such punishments are for the devotee's good and well-being.

What should we give the Lord to receive a bounty in return? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today, inspiring us with a beautiful example.

Kuchela went to Krishna to ask for many material gifts. But on seeing the Divine face of Krishna, he forgot all his desires. On his return to his native village, he found that big mansions had sprung up at the spot of his old dwelling. Kuchela’s wife came out, finely dressed and wearing many ornaments, and greeted her husband with the remark: “Lord, see what wonderful things Shri Krishna has given to you.” Kuchela looked at everything and said: “I did not ask Bhagawan for anything. I did not speak to him about our domestic situation. Is it necessary for me to say anything to the omnipresent, all-knowing Lord?” Kuchela then described in detail to his wife how Krishna had received him in His palace and how He hugged Kuchela to His bosom and showered His love on him. “How can I describe His loving kindness? Is there anyone like him who can confer all prosperity on one after receiving a fistful of parched rice? He is Love incarnate, and Love is He.” Today, the devotee behaves differently towards God. He goes with a mountain of desires to the temple and offers a small coconut. This is not what you should offer to God. What you should offer is a pure, unsullied heart.
