How can we prevent bad feelings from entering the heart? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
One should understand the great significance of human life, which is superior to that of all other species. Because of the body consciousness, man is forgetting his inherent Divinity. You study a great deal about Prakriti (Nature) and worldly things, and lead an artificial life, without realising that the heart is the seat of Divinity. If you allow bad feelings to enter the heart, it will be polluted and the Divine will have no place therein. The whole world today is replete with pollution of not only the individual senses but also the five elements. The air is impure; water is polluted and everything you see or hear or touch is polluted. How can you expect to have peace in the world? Vedanta teaches that we should go beyond the mind and realise the inner vision to prevent bad feelings entering the heart and polluting the seat of God.
- Divine Discourse, May 20, 1993.
"
It is only when man has pure feelings within him that his actions can be pure. When he is polluted within, all his actions will be impure. - BABA
