Having been born from the Atma, man should always contemplate on the Atma. He will become restless and face hardships if he forgets the Atma. He will become restless and face hardships if he forgets the Atma. So, never forget the Atma, the source of your origin. Treat the Atma as the basis of your life. This is the Dharma that man should adhere to. You may occupy positions of authority, you may have wealth and prosperity, but none of them can protect you. Only faith in the self can protect you.
(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God, sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
