Q435
How can one find God in the world of activity ?
You cannot easily detach yourself from activity. The mind clings to some thing or other. Make it cling to God. Let it do all things for God and leave the success or failure of things done to God, the loss and the profit, the elation or dejection. To get the attitude of surrender, of dedication, you must have faith in God. This world is a play; it is not an empty dream. It has a purpose and use. It is the means by which one can discover God. See Him in the beauty, the grandeur, the order, the majesty of Nature. These are but shadows of His Glory and His Splendor. That is why the Vedas have three section of Kaandas : Karma, Upasana and Jnana. Karma leads to consciousness of the ever-present, immanent, all-powerful God. Upasana or adoration of that God leads to the knowledge that He is in all; when you experience that there is no Second, that is Jnana!

O LORD, TAKE MY LOVE
O Lord, take my love, and let it flow in fullness of devotion to Thee;
O Lord, take my hands, and let them work incessantly for Thee;
O Lord, take my soul, and let it be merged in One with Thee;
O Lord, take my mind and thoughts, and let them be in tune with Thee;
O Lord, take my everything, and let me be an instrument to work for Thee.
About Me
After almost 20 years of active seva (service) - creating and sharing graphic art inspired by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba - I now find myself in a quieter space of inward reflection. The urge to constantly 'do' has gently dissolved into simply 'being'.
This Sai Divine Inspirations page in Blogspot will continue to share Swami's love and messages through scheduled posts as long as the platform exists, but my role has shifted from outward expression to silent presence. I remain deeply devoted, but will be less visible in the spiritual community.
May these offerings of love from my heart continue to inspire, uplift, and serve all... as they were always meant to.
All is His will. All is His work. All is His Love.
Om Sai Ram and May Swami bless everyone...
With Much Gratitude,
