New Year Gems (5) - Change Your Old Ways of Thinking

"The New Year comes regularly year after year.

But do you have any new thoughts?

You do not shed your old, mistaken ideas.

They should be given up, yielding place to

new, sacred and sublime thoughts.


Of what use is it to celebrate new year days if you do not

change your old ways of thinking and behaving?

Make proper use of time which is both precious and sacred.

Do not indulge in useless gossip.


Develop good qualities like compassion, love and sympathy.

Act as your own monitor and correct yourself by self-punishment.

By a simple method you can control your wandering mind or your anger.

Moreover, place your reliance on God."


~ Baba ~

(New Year Message - 1.1.96)
