SLOKA OF THE WEEK:

Sri Isopanisad, Mantra One
īśāvāsyam idam sarvaḿ
yat kiñca jagatyāḿ jagat
tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā
mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam

TRANSLATION

Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.

JOURNAL:

Here is the basis for peace on earth according to Srila Prabhupada's famous "Peace Plan" article. This article was one of the first things I read by him and it made a lot of sence to me. When I try to keep my own hankerings down and thankfully accept what Krishna sees fit to give me, I live a much more peaceful life. And so do those who have to live with me.
