Reflection
An editorial paraphrase for reflection on ideal-centred living; it is not presented as a verbatim quotation of Sree Sree Thakur.
This reflection synthesizes a recurring practical theme found in public Satsang and biographical material: keep life oriented around a worthy ideal so that desire, emotion and action gain a constructive direction. A concrete way to work with it is to before a major choice, ask whether it strengthens the life, dignity and growth of the people involved.
