| Date: Saturday, May 05, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The heart contains the precious treasure of bliss (Ananda) but people do not know the key to open the lock! The key to open the door to bliss is Namasmarana - repetition of the Name of the Lord with a pure heart. Purify the heart with the instruments of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace and Love (Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema). Always endeavour to do good to others, to think well and speak well of them. This practice will wear away your egoism, and attachment to things that cater to your pleasures. Do not behave like birds and beasts, ever engaged in earning a living or rearing a family. Struggle for higher and nobler goals using the talents with which you are endowed! - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's Thought Date: Friday, May 04, 2012 Do not aspire to be a servant of God, working for wages; you reduce yourself to that level if you ask for this and that from Him in return for the praise that you offer or the sacrifice you do! Also, let go of the bargaining attitude in your mind, and do not feel disappointed that God did not give you desirable objects in return for all the troubles you took to please Him. Do not calculate profit, do not count on returns, do not plan for the consequences! Do, since it is your duty and you have to do! That is true puja (worship). Dedicate the deed as well as the consequences to Him. Then you become His own and not a labourer demanding wages. That is the highest level a devotee (bhaktha) can attain through sadhana (spiritual effort). - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

That is the highest level a devotee (bhaktha) can attain through sadhana (spiritual effort). - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's Thought Date: Thursday, May 03, 2012 Cultivate an atmosphere of love and co-operation with one and all, and you can ensure joy for ever more. Do not seek arguments to keep away from others; seek rather ways of working together for the common good. The sense of 'I' and 'mine' scotch love and co-operation. Reduce them to the minimum and then start serving the needy and the distressed. Develop character as well as intelligence and health. The most reliable source of strength is not in money, or kinsmen, or physical acumen, but in yourself, the Atman. Delve deep and draw sustenance from it; see it in all; serve it in all. Discipline is another key trait. Every individual and every nation must learn to control the wild nature of passions and emotions; yielding to them brings only ruin. Discipline, self-control, desire to serve - these are the weapons that even the weakest can use, and win the battle of life. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Pots of water in which the Sun is reflected may be many, but the Sun is one! The very same current runs through and activates all appliances. This is the meaning of the scriptures quote "Ïsaavaasyam idam sarvam" - God is present in everyone in equal measure, nothing more nothing less! Service is best built on this strong foundation of "Thath-Thwam-asi" - That and This are the same; there is only One, there is no other! All help that you give, is help given to yourself; all service is to the Self alone. When another is poor, you cannot be rich. When another is in distress, you cannot have joy. Always remember that help and service that is rendered to the deserving, is done to the Self alone. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Animals have fleetness of foot, sharpness of claw, fang, horn, tusk, beak, talon, etc. But human beings are gifted with speech as a faculty, as their armament. The very first lesson in the primer, for a spiritual aspirant is "Control of Speech." Through the sweetness of your speech, you can disarm all opposition and defeat all the designs of hatred. Sweetness makes you Pashupathi (Divine). Harshness makes you pashu (Bestial). Mere outward politeness or sweetness is hypocrisy. Sincere speech must flow from the real sweetness of heart, a heart filled with love. Remove all evil from the pellucid lake of your mind and make it a fit abode for the Divine. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Otherwise, the image will not appear. In every act of yours, if you observe truth and justice, then you can see your own reality revealed. You may say that the burden of the past acts and their inevitable consequences have to be borne; but, the Grace of the Lord can burn that burden in a flash; the revelation of reality will, in a moment, save you from that burden. If you see yourself in all and all in you, then, you have known the reality. Therefore you have to develop the same quantity and quality of Love that you have for Me, towards all others. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
