Purity

Sai Darshan 1 (Universal) - Part 1 - 32

Let the wick of your faith burn,
From the smallest candle to the brightest torch,
And with it let it burn,
All the 'I's that did not belong.
And at the end, let only the light remain.
The light which is bright and full of love,
Cool and peaceful,
Streaming within and around you always,
Keeping you in My presence.


From : 'Sai Darshan' - Part I
(Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan)

Human State

Do not base your life on the body.  It is impermanent.  The spirit within is immortal.  The body is "Karmakshetra", the field of action.  The heart is "Dharmakshetra", the Abode of Righteousness.  The human state is a combination of Karmakshetra and Dharmakshetra.

(Sanathana Sarathi, April 1996, pg 96)

Your Legacy

Swami...

Since You went beyond this physical world,

Life has been an ocean of uncertainty,

The forces of negativity has been rampant

Hitting me constantly... wave after wave.

The legacy You left... Your Divine Teachings

I still hold dearly to my heart,

They will remain my only source of bliss,

My thread of survival in this unhappy world.

I love You, dearest Lord...

For Mom

I look back on these years

To see how far I've come and grown,

I take a trip down memory lane,

And what I see has shown ...

That every step I've taken,

You have been there by my side ...

From infancy to adulthood,

We've stood the test of time.

You cradled me and nurtured me,

Through all these many years;

You held me and did comfort me,

Through happiness and tears.

You'd pick me up when I would fall,

You'd dust me off and then,

Encourage me to get back on

That horse and ride again.

Your constant care and loving,

And your warm inviting heart,

Has always been a treasure that

I knew would n'er depart.

If I could be "just half" the person

You have been to me ...

Then you have taught me well dear mom,

For in my heart I see ...

A woman whose most gentle soul,

Embraces me each day ...

A woman whom I dearly love,

Much more than words can say.

BREAK THROUGH

"Because God is my guide, I accomplish great things."

What is the secret to any achievement? Is it wanting something enough or deserving something more than another person? No, it is neither.

I experience a true break through to achievement when I move past simple wanting and striving to a powerful belief that I can reach my goals.

I break through the barriers of negative thinking - thinking I can't do something or don't deserve something. I realize that with God as my guide and strength, I can accomplish great things.

Do I want to end some negative habit or begin a positive one? Then I can! I can because I believe in the power of God within me and I let this belief support me in all my activities.

"Jesus said to them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?....

According to your faith let it be done to you.' "

- Matthew 9:28-29

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

Memories

Sometimes, our thoughts turn back towards a corner in a forest, or the end of a bank, or an orchard powered with flowers, seen but a single time... yet remaining in our hearts and leaving in soul and body an unappeased desire which is not to be forgotten, a feeling we have just rubbed elbows with happiness.

GEM 855

It is not renunciation of action that is required.  Renunciation in action is what is necessary.
