Best Things In Life
The best things in life are nearest : breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you.

Q510
How should one pursue Namasmarana as a spiritual discipline ?
Do not indulge in Namasmarana as a pastime or a fashion or a passing phase, or as the unpleasant part of an imposed timetable, or as a bitter quota to be fulfilled each day. Think of it as a sadhana, to be seriously taken up for the purpose of reducing your attachments to fleeting objects, purifying and strengthening you, and liberating you from the cycle of birth and death. Hold fast to it as the means of rescuing yourself in every way... It has to become as much a must as breathing; as welcome to the tongue as sugar; as essential for happy living as sleep or food or water.(SSS Vol 8, pg 188-189)
Follow The Conscience
Don't rely on the body. It is a water bubble. Don't rely on the mind which is like a mad monkey. Follow the conscience. When you follow the conscience with full self-confidence, you can accomplish anything.
(Sanathana Sarathi, October 1993, pg 257)
VEDA 45
Calamity, danger, death cannot be avoided for all the time; they are inevitable factors of life; you have to learn to live bravely with them. This can be accomplished only by uninterrupted prayer.
(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God, sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

Imagination
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart!
- Edna St Vincent Millay
Changing a blank canvas into a masterpiece or a block of stone into a priceless sculpture takes imagination and creativity. Yet the people who have produced such treasures had to move beyond imagining in order to do so. They took the necessary steps to make what they had imagined become a reality.
Imagination opens the door to divinely inspired ideas and awakens me to unlimited possibilities. So as I envision harmony in my life, I begin to take the necessary steps toward realising that dream.
As I imagine people helping each other, I see the value of teamwork in times of need and the satisfaction received when one creation of God helps another. What a blessing it is to know that whatever can be envisioned is a possibility!
My imagination opens the door to unlimited possibilities.
(From : 'Daily Word' magazine by Silent Unity, a world wide prayer ministry)
GEM 768
Service is the highest form of worship and the best penance.
(From : Garland of 1008 Gems, Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba's Sayings)
Sai Darshan II, Part 1 - Message 28
Sai Darshan II, Part 1 - Message 28
Whatever you give
Most importance to
That alone will remain
In your mind...
That alone will become
Your thought...
That alone will prompt you
What to say and do...
Soon the mind becomes consumed
And to divert it
Becomes an impossibility!
No doubt duty is important.
Work is important.
Survival is important.
But what is more important
Is that you in the midst
Of all these
Must remain peaceful,
Focused, content, fearless
Calm, patient and happy...
That is what is most important.
It is then that
Work becomes a selfless service
Duty becomes worship and
Survival becomes the media of
Self-Realization!
(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)
