| Date: Saturday, September 08, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY You have accumulated wealth with great care, by thousands of acts of self denial, by giving up comforts and convenience, saving in this item and that, spending less and earning more. Banks are happy to take deposits from you, maintain it safely and allow you to make use of it when needed. You believe your money will help you when you are in trouble in this world. But then, when your money grows and becomes attractive, your kith and kin, near and dear, start fighting for it causing you anxiety and fear. Taxes also take away a large share – thieves and crooks wait for an opportunity to take some part of it. Don't forget that a day will come when you have to leave all this pile and go empty handed. Your savings will not travel with you, nor be considered where you go. Hence it is now time to grow your spiritual efforts – that alone will give you peace and joy here and thereafter. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, September 07, 2012 You are on a journey through the stream of life from one act to another – it is one continuous activity, marked by karma throughout. It would be a pity, if you do not know the right technique of performing karma (actions). Just as the fruit on a tree depends upon the seed, the soil, the manure, the tending of the gardener and the fence, the results of your actions too reflect a variety of factors, such as the tendencies and consequences of the activities in previous lives. A potter makes pots and pans from the clay in the earth and so it is called mrinmaya (material and ephemeral). But you are Chinmaya (spiritual and transcendental) for Brahma, the Divine Potter, has made you from Truth (Sath), Consciousness (Chith) and Bliss (Ananda). Understand this difference and shape your actions. Act in accordance with what you profess to be; that is the real Dharma (righteousness). - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Act in accordance with what you profess to be; that is the real Dharma (righteousness). - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Thursday, September 06, 2012 Earning wealth is one of the legitimate objectives of human endeavour, without a doubt. It is one of the four objectives (purusharthaas) of every human life, the four being - righteousness, earning wealth, desire and liberation. The order they are mentioned in, has a purpose too. Righteousness has to direct and control the process of earning wealth and liberation has to be the regulating factor for one's desires. All wealth accruing through unrighteous means is to be treated with contempt as unworthy. All desires that do not subserve the one supreme need for liberation are to be given up as beneath one's dignity. So the spiritual basis of righteousness and liberation must be the root of both the pursuit of wealth and fulfilment of other desires. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Without being bound by considerations of hours of work, teachers must when necessary, be prepared to put in extra hours to remove the doubts of students and help them to complete their assignments. Teachers, this is your duty. Holding fast to Truth, you must make Righteousness, Peace, Love and Nonviolence, the guideposts for your life, at all times. You should not limit yourself to imparting the five human values alone. You must also create the environment which will be conducive to the practice of these basic values. When you have dedication and devotion, you will be able to face all the challenges in the discharge of your duties. If teachers play their role properly, they have the power to transform the entire nation. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

How can you serve when passions peep in, to tarnish the love that inspires that service? Letting one's senses have their way, by directing them on the objective world of tastes, smells, shapes, melodies and softnesses is to fall into a bottomless pit. The Lord of the World is engaged in spreading ananda (bliss) in this world; you too should be engaged in this noble task of spreading ananda around. The control and the sublimation of the senses is the most important and essential thing for this. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
