A Thought for the Day From Sri Eknath Easwaran
----------------------------------------------

February 20

I tell you one thing: if you want peace of mind, do not find fault
with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Learn to make
the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this
whole world is your own. - Sri Sarada Devi

When we get even the slightest glimpse of the unity of life, we
realize that in tearing others down we are tearing ourselves down
too. When you sit in judgment on other people and countries and
races, you're training your mind to sit in judgment on yourself.
As we forgive others, we are teaching the mind to respond with
forgiveness everywhere, even to the misdeeds and mistakes of
our own past.
