Mercy Of God

Sai Gem - 20

Spirit Of Life

Listen to the faith of God.  God knows things are not going to come to a sudden end, that life cannot die.  God is not afraid of tomorrow.

- Vera Dawson Tait

God created my body with everything it needs to heal itself naturally.  And God also gave me a 'spark of divinity' - the spirit of life within - as my source of renewal.

However, suddenly or over a period of time, something may happen that interferes with the natural healing process.  What do I do if this happens to me?  First of all, I never think of myself as less than a creation of the original, divine plan.  I let my words and thoughts call forth the healing from within me.  The health and well-being I accept in thought is a step forward in healing.

As I say, "Thank You, God; I am healed now!"  I acknowledge that the spirit of life is radiating throughout my body, healing and renewing me.

The spirit of life heals me now.

(From : 'Daily Word' magazine by Silent Unity, a world wide prayer ministry) 

Ignorance

Man is blinded by the objective world and he believes that world to be real, meaningful and worthy of pursuit.  The cataract grows in the eye and robs it of its efficiency.  The cataract is the enemy of the eye.  Ignorance, the cataract of the inner eye, blinds the intellect and robs it of its efficiency.  So, it cannot see the Divinity that is your real nature.  It misleads you into the impression that you are a man, whereas you are really God.

(Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol IV, pg 3)

Q457

How should a seeker conduct himself in daily life and what food habits should he observe?


A spiritual aspirant need not live in monastic isolation.  He should practice universal compassion.  Food plays an important part in the cultivation of universal compassion.  Sathwic food enables the sadhaka to apprehend the omnipresent reality of Divinity.  He progresses through the four stages of the life-divine.  These four phases of spiritual advancement are 'salokya', 'samipya', 'sarupya' and 'sayujya'.

There is no greater sin than accusing others.

Good Man

When You Think

When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot. 

When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, 

you will learn both peace and joy.”
