| Date: Saturday, March 24, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The purpose of human life is not to be consumers of food, to be a burden upon the earth, and be an animal that is a slave to the senses. There is no profit in being a horde of idlers and loungers, who shy from hard work, and accumulate fat, growing into monstrous shapes. Nor should one ignore the creator, allowing both intelligence and discrimination to go to waste, without an iota of gratitude to the giver of all the gifts which one consumes and enjoys! The Lord has declared that He is the Pourusha (vitality, adventure and aspiration) in human beings. However strong may be the force of the drag of one's previous births, it must yield to the strength of adventure and achievement emanating from this Pourusha. Unaware of this potentiality, you are misled into cursing your fate and accepting the 'inescapable' effects of what you dread as 'Prarabdha' or effects of karma (past actions). Exercise Pourusha and let it be your life breath. Living is struggling, striving, achieving. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's Thought |
| You would have celebrated many Ugadi (New Year day) festivals in your life. Certain traditional practices go with every festival, such as having a sacred bath, wearing new clothes, cleaning the house and decorating it with buntings of green leaves. True greatness lies in purifying our thoughts, not merely the transient human body. The significance of a festival does not lie in wearing new clothes but in cultivating new and noble thoughts. The house should be decorated not merely with the buntings of green leaves, but with the buntings of love. Share your love with everyone you meet. Only then would you be celebrating the festival in its true spirit. In this New Year sanctify your thoughts with sacred and broad feelings. Develop divine love and foster peace in every country. Start the day by praying, "May the whole world be happy! " Then you will lead a blissful and peaceful life, full of enthusiasm. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

And because their thoughts and actions have become perverted, the country is passing through troubles and turmoil. People have filled their mind with thoughts of mundane, ephemeral, and transient things. These thoughts are negative in nature; only those based on Truth are positive. If the feelings and intentions behind your actions are good, the results will also be good. Sacred thoughts, good words, and noble deeds are the true human values. Thoughts are your permanent assets. As is the thought, so is the mind. If thoughts are good, humanity will blossom into Divinity. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

If thoughts are good, humanity will blossom into Divinity. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's Thought Date: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 The mind has an innate tendency to merge in whatever it contacts; it craves for this merger and so, it is ever agitated and restless. But by constant practice and training, it can be directed towards the Pranava (Om, the Primordial Sound) and taught to be one with it. The mind is naturally drawn towards sound and hence, it is compared to a serpent. The snake has two crude qualities - one, its crooked gait and second, the tendency to bite all that comes in its way. Human beings too seek to hold and possess all that they set their eyes on; people too move about crookedly. But there is in the serpent one praiseworthy trait; however poisonous and deadly its nature might be, when the strains of the charmer's music are played, it spreads its hood and merges itself in the sweetness of that melody, forgetting everything else. Similarly, people too can, by practice, merge themselves into the bliss of Pranava. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
