THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
When Krishna was placed in the weighing scale, Rukmini brought one Tulasi leaf and said, "One may offer a leaf, a flower, fruit, or even just water to God. I offer this Tulasi leaf to You. If it is true that you rescue the person devoted to You, I pray, let this leaf of Tulasi balance Your weight." The sanctity of sacred thoughts and acts are not understood by many. Rukmini's offering was filled with devout feeling, so it equaled the weight of Lord Krishna, who is the very Lord of the Universe. Rukmini accomplished this feat through her selfless devotion. What is the significance in the offering of a leaf? Body (deha) is a leaf (patram) with three attributes of Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Heart (Hrudaya) is a flower (pushpam). The flower of the heart is pure and sacred. From this flower comes the fruit, mind with its sweet juice. You must offer this to God. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 3, Ch 3, June 30, 1996)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
After birth, as one grows, one develops association with relatives, friends, teachers and others. Through these numerous relationships, one's human qualities develop and blossom. You must show your gratitude to all by striving for their well-being. Without these associations, the lone individual would remain at an animal level. If you confine your interests to a few subjects, it will result in narrow-mindedness. You must not be restrictive in acquiring skills that help you earn a livelihood. In fact, you must learn about life itself, how it should be lived and the basic goal of life. Learning how to earn an income is not a great thing; all the evils that we see in the world today stem from a perverted system of education. An educated person must control one's senses. Education that helps one discover one's spiritual essence is real education. Learn how to live as a worthy human being. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 8, Jun 15, 1989)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
