| Date: Saturday, May 26, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The difference between human and demon (Maanava and Daanava) is just this – human beings should have morality, self-control and compassion (Dharma, Dhama and Daya). Demons do not have these, nor do they consider them as desirable characteristics; they ignore them and pay no heed to the prompting of these virtues. On the contrary, these three are in fact the essential qualities of every man. Every being in the universe is a pilgrim on the path from demon to human to divine. The number of stages in this journey is as many as the number of hearts in this universe! Each pilgrim moves at their own speed and with the Name and Form that inspires them. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, May 25, 2012 Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, foibles and fears, skills and handicaps, so no one prescription can be suggested for all. It is necessary for every individual to do a rigorous self-examination to remove all evil from oneself. A patient has to take the prescribed drugs and follow the instructions that are beneficial to cure the ailment. The patient cannot ask for sweet medicines and comfort. So too people are normally attached to physical comfort and objective pleasure and try to hide their defects, instead of trying to remove them. People buy dark coloured clothes, so that they may not reveal its dirt; they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; be repentful of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fas - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

If it is printing you require, you operate the printer with a knob. Consider these as separate operations and you will notice that they are unrelated to one another. Light and air, heat and sound, are unconnected; they are distinct in every way, it would seem. But for all these, the Kartha, the energizer, is the same - the electric current. The expressions and manifestations may be different; but the basis, the inspiration, the latent potency, or the base is the same. Like electricity, God too operates through all instruments, and awards the consequences of all the activities done by everyone; He is the inner motivator of all beings. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

So too, all forms of worship, contemplation, yoga or meditation are ineffective if the knowledge of one's basic Reality and Identity is not there to warm up the process. The Atma is the source and spring of all joy and peace; this has to be cognised and dwelt upon. Without this realisation, human life is an opportunity that is lost. Awareness of one's true identity is the sign of wisdom, the lighting of the lamp which scatters darkness. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Awareness of one's true identity is the sign of wisdom, the lighting of the lamp which scatters darkness. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 Life is raised on four pillars – Righteousness, Wealth, Desire and Liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha). When two key pillars, Righteousness and Liberation, are lost, it is a struggle to survive with the remaining two - Desire and Wealth. Then, naturally grief, greed, pretence and anxiety afflict human beings. Each pillar must cooperate and complement the other three pillars. Righteousness must interpenetrate and strengthen Wealth and Desire, so that Liberation can be attained. Through Righteousness alone, wealth for living must be obtained and it should be used for Righteous purposes. Desire must be directed to Liberation from bondage – not to forging of new chains or adding further links in the chain of birth and death. Devoid of Righteousness and Desire for Liberation, human beings will be reduced to the level of beasts and birds. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
