True Love

The duty of everyone from today onwards is to cultivate true, unsullied love.  With love of God, you can secure anything.  Without that love, you will only be steeped in misery.

(Sanathana Sarathi, December 1996, pg 313)

GEM 785

Think of God and do good deeds by way of service to society, chanting the name of God.

(From : Garland of 1008 Gems, Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba's Sayings)

Hello God

Hello God, I called tonight

To talk a little while

I need a friend who'll listen

To my anxiety and trial.

You see, I can't quite make it

Through a day just on my own...

I need your love to guide me,

So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep,

My family safe and sound.

Come and fill their lives with confidence

For whatever fate they're bound.

Give me faith, dear God, to face

Each hour throughout the day,

And not to worry over things

I can't change in any way.

I thank you God, for being home

And listening to my call,

For giving me such good advice

When I stumble and fall.

Your number, God, is the only one

That answers every time.

I never get a busy signal,

Never had to pay a dime.

So thank you, God, for listening

To my troubles and my sorrow.

Good night, God, I love You, too,

And I'll call again tomorrow!

Bad Qualities

Give up the bad qualities in you.  Banish the ego and develop the spirit of surrender.  You will then experience bliss.

(Sanathana Sarathi, February 1996, pg 41)

Kind Deed

I did a favor yesterday, 

A kindly little deed... 

And then I called to all the world 

To stop and look and heed.

They stopped and looked and flattered me 

In words I could not trust, 

And when the world had gone away 

My good deed turned to dust. 

A very tiny courtesy 

I found to do today; 

'Twas quickly done, with none to see, 

And then I ran away... 

But Someone must have witnessed it, 

For--truly I declare--

As I sped back the stony path 

Roses were blooming there!
