Date: Monday, August 20, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Housing, clothing and food gives physical comfort and happiness. Education, development of skills, and knowledge about the world gives a means for livelihood. However the ancient adage says that real and lasting happiness cannot be won by physical happiness ("Na Sukhaat labhathe sukham"). Lasting happiness – happiness that will not be shaken, diminished or modified by changing wheels of fortune can only come by the discipline of the mind, and faith in a Higher Power. The lamp of spiritual awareness has to be lit and fed continuously, so that one's footsteps can take that path and proceed unharmed to that state of true happiness. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba   Yesterday's thought   Date: Sunday, August 19, 2012 The various forms of wisdom one acquires are all useful at some stage or the other of one's spiritual development. But by none of them can one escape the cycle of birth and death! Anubhavajnana, the knowledge that you yourself experience alone, can set you free. The teacher can be of some help in the process, but cannot show you your real self. You have to visualise it yourself! For this one must be steeped in earnestness. Sincerity is essential even for the performance of the smallest act in the world – be it a human being, bird, beast, worm, or a virus - all have to be earnest to succeed in their tasks. When there is no earnestness in the act, there will be no fruit. And also one has to be free from vices like envy. The person who has faith in that Wisdom, who is devoted to acquire it, and is full of yearning to earn it, will surely realise God. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba
