Today's Sai Inspires Sai Baba's 86th Birthday Celebrations - Updates - Photos - Videos     Date: Saturday, December 17, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Many commentators of the Geeta have interpreted that the giving up of the fruits of one's actions is advised because one has no right or authority to desire the fruits. This is a great blunder. When one has the right to engage in action, one also has the right over the fruits of that action; no one can deny or refuse this. But the doer can, out of one's own free will and determination, refuse to be affected by the result, whether favourable or unfavourable. The Lord has said in the Geeta, 'refuse the fruit' (maa phaleshu), which means, the deed does yields results, but the doer should not do it with the results in view. If Krishna's intention was to say that the doer has no right over the fruits of action, He would have said, 'It is fruitless' or 'na phaleshu,' (na, meaning no). To engage oneself in karma, knowing well that the result will follow, and yet being unattached to it or being unconcerned with it, is the sign of purity. -BABA Yesterday's Thought   Date: Friday, December 16, 2011   Persisting in the spiritual discipline of ignoring the body means turning away from the temptations of the senses, that is, overcoming the six inner enemies – desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride and malice. Anger turns a person into a drunken brute. The other impulses are equally vicious. Seek only salutary action that will win His grace. Eat only Saathvik (simple, pure, vegetarian) food, that does not disturb the equanimity you earn from your spiritual activities. Do not break the even tenor of your spiritual practices. Remind yourself, how the great saint Ramadas never gave up his Naamasmarana (Contemplation of the Lord) in spite of the travails of living in jail. If you immerse yourself in Deha Tathwa, body consciousness, you start declining. But you can be really healthy and happy only when you are immersed in the universal and essential nature of the Self - Aatma Tathwa. -BABA [ Mensaje de la Pizarra de Prashanti Nilayam  - En Español ]
