THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Humility alone makes you deserving and affluent, and eventually helps you attain Divinity. You must also, always respect and revere your parents and consider the education and all the facilities they provided as their gift to you. Many parents suffer a great deal of stress and strain to provide these to you. At times, they may even fast to pay your fees and bills. Scriptures clearly declare, 'Mother is God, Father is God, Teacher is God, Guests are Divine, Teacher is Divine (Mathru Devo Bhava, Pithru Devo Bhava, Athithi Devo Bhava, and Acharya Devo Bhava). Your good character will be understood only when you are humble and respect your parents. Many people have lived these values in an exalted manner. Those with humility and obedience to parents will achieve great success in all spheres of life. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 9, Feb 24, 2005.)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
People practice various forms of worship and rituals following their family tradition and culture. However they do not transform even a bit in spite of months and years of spiritual practice. Frustrated, they change the Name they are chanting, because they are tired of waiting for results. At times, people change not just the Name they chant, but also their religion. Know clearly that you cannot attain God's Grace by changing the Name you chant or the religion. You must transform yourself. The dog in the home always recognizes its Master, no matter whether he or she wears a jogging dress, office uniform or party attire. It has no doubt about its Master, despite the dress worn. So too, you cannot convince God by merely changing your external appearance. You have to acquire virtues and conduct yourself righteously. Only the one who transforms the mind pleases the Lord and attains Divinity. (My Dear Students, Vol 3, Ch 4, June 21, 1989.)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
