This is the luggage you are carrying. Don't you say, my nose, my book, my umbrella? Who is this 'I' that calls all these 'mine'? That is the real 'you'! It was present, when you were born, when you were sleeping forgetting everything else including your body and its afflictions. That 'I' cannot be harmed, it does not change, it knows no birth and death. Learn the discipline that makes you aware of this truth and you will be ever free and bold. This is true knowledge (atmavidya), which the preceptors and sages have gleaned for you. You too must, one day or the other learn this and save yourselves. All have to reach the goal, travelling along the path of wisdom. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought   Date: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 Only those who are free from attachment, hatred, fear and anger; who are immersed in the name and form of the Lord, knowing of no other support than Him; and are sanctified by the knowledge of the Atma, can grasp Divinity. Those who seek the Lord without deviation, possessing Truth, Love and Right Conduct, will attain Him. This is absolutely true; give up any doubt you may have! People render their inner consciousness impure by ignorantly dwelling on the objective world. They take delight in mere sabda, rasa, gandha, (sound, taste, smell) etc. When they seek objective pleasure they are tempted to secure the objects that give pleasure; foiled in the attempt, they get restless, hateful and afraid. Fear robs one of his mental resources. It creates anger that cannot be easily pacified. Thus desire, anger and fear are aroused one after the other and these three must be removed to realize the Lord. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba         Click here for TFTD Archive
