God

Right Track

The opening of your mind, heart, and life to the guidance of spirit

is the beginning, not the end.

- Martha Smock

Whenever I use a compass correctly, I will stay on the right track and not become lost.  But what happens when I feel spiritually or emotionally lost, when I feel as if I am merely wandering through life?

I find my direction by allowing God to show me the way.  I do this by releasing every doubt about finding the way and then inviting the spirit of God to work through me.

When I allow myself to be on a divine course, I will always be on the right track.  Every day, I will find that there is a reason for being where I am and for learning the lessons if life which I am learning.

So, as I trust God to show me that way, I know that I am on the right track and living a spiritually enriching life.

With God as my guide, I am on the right track and my way is clear.

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 35

To find Me, you have to be
Amongst those who know and believe,
Of my presence at all times.
I encourage you
To be in Sathsang always.
Surround yourself with those
Who have chosen to be truly Godward.
Be amongst those whose eyes show contentment,
Whose lips only utter sweet and comforting words,
Whose acts show My indwelling with certainty.
The mind has to be trained to be quiet,
And devoid of thoughts at all times.
Meditation has to be practiced daily,
As a sadhana to quiet the mind.
God speaks only when the mind is quiet,
Only when you lose your own identity, your ego,
And when you recognize
Your indwelling divinity within you.

Ask

Ask and get what will save you, not what will bind you. You ask from Me a thousand things of the world, but rarely do you ask for ME! Know that and every thing becomes known; act and no other act is needed; possess that, and all things are possessed by you.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Good Health

For leading a good life, good health is a prerequisite.  It is better no to fall sick rather than search for remedies later.  The quantity of food taken by the rich is far too much.  Overeating has become a fashion.  Shortage of good grains are mainly due to wasteful eating habits.  Man will remain healthier by eating the minimum than the maximum.

(Gems of Wisdom, Behavior (Conduct), pg 399)

The pot that pours and the pot that receives have to be steady and straight, eager to give and gain.

Remember Me

Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 52)

CHAPTER 52


Where does true satisfaction lie? What are the boundaries of satisfaction? True satisfaction does not definitely lie in the fulfillment of your worldly desires. The limits to desires are endless, forgoing peace, contentment, and discrimination, for the more you receive, your desires will only bind you from reaching out to the territory of God.


The human, today, wakes up each day with the pangs of hunger - not that of food, but the hunger of greed. The "wants" are taking a turn to addiction, making them your "needs", and these "desirable needs" have made you a discontented soul that only aspires to "receive more", "steal more" and "grab more". Your prayers to Me have become a mere "wish list", and upon not receiving, you blame Me to be uncharitable and only partial to your so-called competitors, that have become your reason of envy. You seem to know what is best for you, especially, when you see others possess these short-term pleasures. Even if you were to conquer all the worldly riches, would that make you desire any less? No! For the one that is richest in this world, has more attachments to give up, has more ego to destroy, has no rest and no peace, has more fears of every discomfort he may face, has no friends, has a family that only expects favors and demands from him, and lastly, but not the least, he does not know that God cannot be bought and cannot ever be valued.


Let not "money" become your power, for when this power will fail, one day - and know that, that one day will come soon, then life to you will be only humiliation, and all that this power bought you will only become your weakness, without which, you will not be able to live. Let this evil of money not become your "time", your "judgment", and your "love"; instead, make love your only judgment and your only way to spend time. Know that when all in the world in unreal, then all that you conquer and possess in this world is bound to fade away and is destined to say its goodbye. Do not live to weep for that moment, but instead, prepare yourselves to successfully live that moment without the least regret or sorrow of attachment.


All must go - including you in this life, then why run this race that starts on "want", and ends to start again on "wanting more"! Desire is the snake that will spread its venom slowly to the mind, and a poisoned mind will live its life only in the shadows of death - the death of the conscience, and one more life, yet lived, without God!
