| Date: Saturday, March 17, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The Vedas proclaim that all this is Brahmam (Divinity), one unitary uniform substance, appearing only to the faulty eye as many. You must assert Aham Brahmaasmi (I am Divine); you can then transmute yourself into 'sons of immortality' (Amrithasya Puthraah). Since you always say Aham dehaasmi (I am the body), the combination of five elements which will one day disintegrate back into those elements, you degrade yourself into Anruthasya Puthraah, that is, 'sons of Illusion'. It is this attitude that breeds grief and is the root of discontent. Constantly ruminate on the indwelling God; it will promote in you love for all beings. You will then see only good in others and strive only to do good to others. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's Thought Date: Friday, March 16, 2012 In the present times, all things have gone up in value. Man alone has become cheap. Despite being endowed with the valuable gems of reason, discrimination and detachment, man has allowed them to slip away, and is facing the consequences with dire poverty of the spirit. He has become cheaper than animals because of the proliferation of anger, hatred and greed. People have forgotten their unity with all others, all beings and all worlds. The contemplation of unity of all beings alone can establish individual peace as well as peace in the society and in the world. All other efforts are like pouring sweet scented rose water on a heap of ash - its ineffective and foolish. It is mere ignorance that keeps you away from this task. Investigate the truth about yourself and the world. Make all efforts to build peace on this foundation of Atmajnana, the knowledge of the Atmic unity. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

| Offering Of Gratitude by Students... Thursday, March 15th, 2012 | |||||||||
Offering gratitude, passing out batches of students from Sri Sathya Sai Mirpuri College of Music and undergraduate students from SSSIHL, Prasanthi Nilayam Campus presented a Musical Offering interspersed with words of love n' gratitude this evening in Prasanthi Nilayam in the Divine Presence of Beloved Bhagawan. When hearts full of love for Swami, that are filled and fulfilled by His touch of Love n' Grace, spilled over the evening turned out to be a fragrant one with the love for The Mother with thousand mother's love engulfing the entire Sai Kulwant Hall. One after one as these grateful students poured their hearts out, in vernacular, their feelings blossomed in the form of songs, verses, poems and wonderful tales of love n' grace. A scintillating Jhugalbandhi involving nine musical instruments was the highlight of the evening.  At the end of the programme special mementos were given to the entire batch of students. Bhajans continued for some time and ended with Thursday Special, "Rama Kodannda Rama…" in Bhagawan's voice. Mangala Arathi was offered at 1845 hrs. | |||||||||

Know that these are mere baits by which you have been drawn closer to God, so that you may contact Him, receive His Grace and strengthen your faith in the Divine. Problems and worries are really to be welcomed as they teach you the lessons of humility and reverence. Today, the entire world faces many problems. Many hesitate to believe that things will improve and that life for all will be happy and full of joy, that the Golden Age will ever recur. Be assured that Divinity will always be present to protect and establish righteousness, and avert the crisis upon humanity. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Even an elephant cannot drag one as the mind does; it is the nursery of waywardness, and its defiance, determination and obstinacy are very powerful. The mind will never halt at one place. Taming the mind is like capturing the wind or bundling up water. How can anyone control the mind or begin any spiritual practice with such a mind?" Krishna broke into a smile on hearing these words and said, "Arjuna! You have described the mind and know its nature very well. But it is not an impossible task; the mind can certainly be mastered. By systematic practice (abhyasa) and by relentless inquiry (vichara) and detachment (vairagya) - the mind definitely can be conquered. There is no task that cannot be accomplished by steady practice. Place faith in the Lord and practice with the firm belief that you have the power and the grace - then all tasks will become easy." - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

The hunt for comfortable jobs and positions of influence, the founding of banks and business houses, the growth of bungalows – all this is evidence of the eagerness to live in happiness. But there is no real eagerness to live in peace. Happiness should not be confused with peace. No one rich, well placed, prosperous or powerful has peace. Peace cannot be found in passbooks or iron safes. You can investigate and verify this truth yourself. Peace cannot also be ensured by the piling of bombs and weapons. Mere terror and counter-terror will not establish cordiality and harmony. Realize that the physical is subordinate to the spiritual. The secret to peace lies in service and love towards all beings. International peace cannot dawn until the minds are cleansed of hatred and terror; remove these two evil traits within each heart and plant therein love and service. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Do not alter as fancy dictates for that will bring about dire consequences. For those who eat too much and get exhausted with the task of assimilating it, those who eat less and suffer from exhaustion, those who sleep too much or too little, those who indulge in spiritual practices according to 'convenience' (that is to say, who do it for long hours one day because they have no other work, but do token meditation the next day, because they have lots of engagements), those who give free rein to the six inner enemies, those who do not confer joy on parents, and those who have little faith in the Lord installed in their hearts – for all these people spiritual practices will yield no fruit at all. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
