| Date: Saturday, May 19, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The recognition of one's innate Divinity, and the regulation of one's daily life in accordance with that Truth are the guiding stars for those who are caught in the currents of strife and struggle. Without that Self-Knowledge life becomes a farce, a mockery! Acquiring this awareness of the Self makes life earnest, sweet and fruitful. Many people are not aware of this noble goal in the pilgrimage of life. They put their faith in things outside themselves and plan to derive joy from and through them, and end up experiencing pain and disaster. Know that all joys spring only from the heart within you. When you experience joy from worldly objects or people, realize that it is your own joy being reflected back to you. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, May 18, 2012 Each person eats to satisfy one's hunger. So too, each one of you must discover the best way to appease your spiritual hunger as well. Do not be led away by the scorn or recommendations of others. Consult your own reality that you create by quietening your senses and controlling your mind; there is a voice that you can hear in that silence. The true sign of your having listened to that voice is your behaviour! A large tree is held and fed by its small roots that dive into the silent earth. So too, if you go deep into the silence of your inner consciousness, your spiritual blossoming is assured. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

If one does not consider service thus, the urge to serve is bound to ebb and grow dry, or it may meander into pride and pomp. Just think for a moment - are you serving God or is God serving you? When you offer milk to a hungry child, or a blanket to a shivering brother on the pavement, you are but placing a gift of God, into the hands of another gift of God! You are reposing the gift of God in a repository of the Divine Principle! Always remember - God serves! And He allows you to claim that you have served! Without His will, not even a single blade of grass can quiver in the breeze. Fill every moment with gratitude to the Giver and the Recipient of all gifts! - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

If someone loses a hand in an accident, that person must believe that it was the Lord's Grace that saved his or her life. When you believe that nothing can happen without His resolve, you will realize that everything that occurs in your life, has a value added to it. You may be neglecting a creeper in your backyard, but if a sage passes by and says that it is a rare drug that can cure one from snake bite, you will erect a fence around it and not allow children to pluck its leaves even for fun, is it not? Understand thoroughly that the Lord is the cause, the source of all. And with this knowledge, deal with everyone in a humble and reverent manner. This is the path that will lead you quickly to the goal. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

So too the body will be honoured when it contains the jewel of Divine consciousness and the gems called virtues. Life has to be lived through for the opportunities it provides to unfold human values. Otherwise one becomes a burden upon earth, a mere consumer of food. Life is a steady march towards the goal; it is not a meaningless term of imprisonment or a casual picnic. Even if you have no steady faith in God or in any particular Name or Form of that Immanent Power, start by controlling the vagaries of the mind, the pulls of the ego, and the attractions of sense-attachments. Be helpful to others; then your conscience itself will appreciate you and keep you happy and content, though others may not thank you. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Not all that is pleasant is profitable. Success comes to those who give up the path strewn with roses, and brave the hammer blows and the sword-thrusts of the path fraught with danger. As a matter of fact, no road is a bed of roses. Life is a battlefield - a Dharmakshetra, where duties and desires are always in conflict. Smother the fiery fumes of desire, hatred and anger, that rise up in your hearts. It is sheer cowardice to yield to them as they turn you into beasts. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
