Beloved 45

Beloved,

You will know many people throughout your life.  Some will be a part of your circle of family and friends for a lifetime, others for just a short time.  However long they are with you, each of these people has the capacity to bless you.

Recognize the blessings that they are by looking beyond appearances to the roles these people have played in your life story.  Some will be examples for you to learn by, while others will serve as companions.

I have created a vast and diverse world, and all of My creations serve a purpose - just as you do.  You are all in this time and this place for a reason - because I love and care for each and every one of you.

"It is the spirit that gives life... The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."

- John 6:63

Q501

In what other way are the Lord's Feet glorious ?



The Lord's Feet are glorious in many ways.  But, they will confer blessings only if they are sought with real faith.  The Lord's Feet contain the Divine insignia of Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus).  The conch symbolises Shabda Brahman (the Cosmic Divine Sound).  The discus represents the Wheel of Time.  The Sound and Time together represent the different cosmic aspects of the Lord.  The entire universe originated from Sound vibrations.  These vibrations are related to Time : Sound and Time are inter-dependent.

Treasure Of Bliss

The heart has a precious treasure of Bliss, but man does not know the key to open the lock; that key is the repetition of the Name of the Lord with a pure heart.  Purify the heart with the four instruments : Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Love.

(Baba, The Breath Of Sai, pg 318)

GEM 745

Consider service to humanity as your very life breath.  Then, you too, will have divine effulgence.

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 51

Anxiety is a disease that leaves you
Devoid of peace.
Your mind races with thoughts of fear.
It leaves you restless and agitated.
Today a lot of you suffer from this illness.
You are anxious of your children's future.
You worry about your jobs and family life.
Some of you are even anxious
When you visit Swami.
You are anxious
If I was able to see you during Darshan.
You are anxious for an interview.
With a result you double your anxieties
When you leave from Puttaparthi.
Fear arises when there is lack of surrender.
You want Me to run your lives,
But you hold the reins tightly in your hands.
Your mind thinks one, your words say another,
Leaving your actions confused.
You have different identities filled in one person.
Focus on what you truly believe.
The biggest injustice you do to yourselves,
Is to deceive your own self.
If you have chosen to be Godward,
Follow it !
Follow it by mind, words and actions.
Once there is synchrony in these,
You will be less confused,
And your anxieties
Will become a part of your past only.

Divine Moment

Remember The Name

For a trouble-free journey, there is nothing so reliable
 as the remembrance of the Name of the Lord.

(Baba, The Breath Of Sai, pg 317)

Recognition

All of us, no matter what our place in life, no matter what we do, whether we realise it or not, are serving God.

- Martha Smock

Behind every great work, deed, or action, there are usually some unsung heroes who have helped.  And while I may not always receive recognition from others, I know that God recognises my contribution.  Above all else, God knows.

God recognises even my intention to bless.  By dedicating myself and what I do to God, I am naturally blessed with a return of the faith and love - from many people and in diverse circumstances.

And throughout the day, I remind myself to recognise others who help me.  I give thanks for the people who provide the clean environment in which I work and the person who delivers the mail to my house.  I give thanks for everyone who has touched my life in some way.

The God-life in me recognises the God-life in all others.
