Sai Darshan II, Part 1 - Message 34

When one's own fears

Become unbearable to the soul

And the soul rebels

To challenge the height of fears -

The fears explode

Losing their superficial reasoning

And from that is born

The face and the voice of "anger".

And what does an angry man do?

He induces the jet of fears

To those around him

And witnesses the downfall of them

With a temporary inner satisfaction

That he is not alone...

Anger is "violence"

Anger is "destruction"

Let not the fears within

Rule you...

Instead rule them

With the iron hand of wisdom and reasoning.

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Divine Knowledge

The mind must become bhaktimaya (saturated with devotion); the intelligence must be transformed into jnaana-deepti (the splendor of universal wisdom), or jnaana (Divine knowledge).  The body must be a willing and efficient instrument for saddharmacharana (the practice of righteousness).  Such a life is indeed the crown and glory of humanity.  The rest are contaminated, contained, caged lives!

(Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol IV, pg 129)

Divine Response

GEM 864

Knowing the ephemeral nature of the body, people should follow the conscience and lead a godly life.

AGELESS

"I give thanks for life and for the opportunity to become all that I can be!"

Regardless of my age, each day is an opportunity to be reborn to a life of happiness and love and to celebrate my growing awareness of truth.

Happy birthday to a new me! I do not have to wait for my actual birth date to celebrate life. My life is so full of blessings that every day I give thanks to God :

"God, thank You for divine life, which energizes me and restores me to wholeness as it moves through my entire body.

"Thank You for divine light, which shines on me and through me to those I care for. Your light shows me the way.

"Thank You for unlimited blessings in my life, order in my affairs, and peace in my heart. Thank You, God, for the opportunity to become all that I am capable of being!"

"You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,

for he will be great in the sight of the Lord."

- Luke 1:14-15

Q547

Where are the Ganas?  What is their form?



Jnanendriyas and Karmendriyas (five organs of perception and five organs of action) are the Ganas.  The mind is the master over these ten organs.  Buddhi (intellect) is the discriminating faculty above the mind.  The ten senses, the mind and the intellect together constitute the Ganas.

(SSS Vol 30, pg 179)

Man Sleeps

GEM 863

Kama (desire) is not a vice, for it is given the status of one of the goals of human endeavour (purushartha); develop desire, but not for the material, the momentary.  Desire for the deathless, the indestructible.

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

Be Happy - 35

 

What Am I For?

Life is a mirage; it comes from no visible rain; it falls into no recognizable sea.  There was a man once who was pestered by a host of relatives when he was dying.  Parents, wife, children, brothers, sisters... all surrounded his bed during his last moments and wailed.  They asked him, "What is to happen to us?"  The dying man lifted his head from the pillow and asked in return, "What is to happen to me?  I am now more interested in that problem, than being worried about what is to happen to you."  Well, it is better every one asks that question even now and equips himself with the answer rather than wait until it is too late.  "What am I for?" "What ought I to do?"  These questions you must pursue and arrive at the answers.
