| Date: Monday, February 27, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY All beings are Divine, and the Lord dwells in their hearts. Yet they feel bound, miserable, limited, weak and agitated. Why? They imagine thus, and so they are shaped by the mind which is the source of that imagination. They are ignorant of their reality. How then can one be freed from this delusion? If you desire to overtake a train, you must speed in a car or board a plane. A vehicle slower than the train will not help. So too if you intend to overcome the delusion of your mind, you must establish yourself in God. The delusion of Maanavasakthi (human-power) arising out of the mind can be overcome only by the attainment of Divine Power (Daivasakthi). One prayer that promotes the acquisition of Divine Power is the repetition of the Gayathri Mantra. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's Thought |
| Date: Sunday, February 26, 2012 Perform abhisheka (ceremonial bath given to the Deity) to the Atma-linga (the Divine within), with the waters of your own pure mental impulses (Chittha-vritthi). What is true yajna (ceremonial sacrifice)? Giving in charity accumulated wealth is Dravya yajnam. When all physical and mental activities are utilised for sadhana (spiritual discipline) it is Thapo yajna. Doing karma (action) but yet remaining unbound by it, is Yoga Yajna. When the chittha (mind) moves in one direction and the indriyas (sense organs) move in another, the person is doubly confused. So keep attachment afar. When you accomplish this, every act of yours becomes a sacrifice (Yajna). Whatever you speak becomes a holy mantra; and the place where you plant your foot is rendered holy. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Whatever you speak becomes a holy mantra; and the place where you plant your foot is rendered holy. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Saturday, February 25, 2012 The aim of all human effort is to achieve the oneness that lies behind all the plurality. Without accomplishing this, one cannot be in peace. No amount of repetition of the shanthi manthra (hymn of peace) is capable of granting that. The same current activates the many seemingly distinct instruments like the bulb, the mike, the fan, the refrigerator, the tape recorder, the stove, etc. The Guru is the one who reveals to you that invisible current. The guru is like the stranger who entered the cottage of a poor man and announced that underneath the floor in his home, lies hidden a precious treasure which he can own, by a few minutes of digging. And for this the Guru deserves your gratitude. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
