THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Suppose you dream that you are being bitten by a snake, and are struggling with pain, shouting and frantically searching for medicines. Now even though you are bitten by a snake, do you take medicine to remove the poison? No, you don't do that, because this happened in your dream. You perhaps will even forget the pain, as soon as you wake up, isn't it? Similarly today you are in deep slumber of ignorance and worldly attachments and hence undergo a lot of suffering. The world is ephemeral and full of misery. You suffer only because of ignorance and body attachment. The moment you are awakened from the slumber, your problems will be solved. Anyone and everyone who aspires to lead a happy life must reduce body attachment. You develop ego because of your position, associations, physical strength or wealth. If you want to enjoy bliss, never give any scope for ego. ('My Dear Students', Vol 3, Ch 3, June 30, 1996)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
Young students are innocent. Their hearts and minds are pure, and they are selfless. In the primary school, you will find that many of them observe perfect discipline and are well behaved. By the time they are in secondary school, the purity and discipline slowly decreases. When they reach a college or university, everything becomes topsy-turvy! What really happens in between? As they grow in years, their mental balance is upset; they lose the steadiness of mind and self-control. They are exposed to undesirable influences. At this stage, teachers and parents must practice exemplary behavior and ensure that the children are on the right path at all times. Students also must bear in mind that all the regulations and discipline that are prescribed are for their highest good and in their own interests. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 8, June 15, 1989.)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
