When the vision is centred on the Self, the mind fades away.

I Am Present

Worldly Happiness

 

I do not condemn worldly happiness.  I feel glad when people are happy.  I want that you should study all the arts and sciences for acquiring worldly happiness.  But, please do not believe that this happiness is permanent.

(Gems of Wisdom, Sai Baba's Directives, pg 454) 

Q494

How does one dwell on the meanings of the Bhajans while singing or participating in them?



When you sing Bhajans, dwell on the meanings of the songs and the message of each Name and Form of God.  Rama - the name should evoke in you the Dharma He embodied and demonstrated.  Radha - the name should evoke in you supramental, super-worldly Love she had as the greatest of the Gopis.  Shiva - the name should evoke the supreme sacrifice of the drinking of the Halahala poison for the good of the world; the cool grace heightened by the cascade of the Ganga and the moonlight from the Crescent.  Do not waste time purposelessly; let every moment be Bhajan.  Know the purpose of Bhajan or Namasmarana and devote yourself wholeheartedly to it; derive the maximum benefit from the years allotted to you.

(SSS Vol 7, pg 67-68)

Simple Charm

The splendour of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, Spring would lose its loveliness.

- Therese of Lisieux

VEDA 37

Man is but an instrument in God's hands; his plans can win through only when they are in line with His. Take things as and when they come. Do not try to peep too far into the future, with the help of astrologers. If you have the grace of God, no planet can harm you.




(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

GEM 728

When the mind is subdued, the oneness of Jeevi (individuals) and the Divine will be experienced.

Sermons We See

I'd rather see a sermon

Than hear one any day;

I'd rather one should walk with me

Than merely tell the way.

The eye's a better pupil

And more willing than the ear,

Fine counsel is confusing,

But example's always clear.

And the best of all the preachers

Are the men who live their creeds,

For to see good put into action

Is what everybody needs.

When I see a deed of kindness,

I am eager to be kind.

When a weaker brother stumbles

And a strong man stands behind;

Just to see if he can help him,

Then the wish grows strong in me

To become as big and thoughtful

As I know that friend to be.

And all travelers can witness that

The best of guides today

Is not the one who tells them,

But the one who shows the way.
