However, any modern scholar, when in doubt or dispute, is required to refer to the roots of words or concepts contained in Sanskrit, Latin, Greek or some other standard language. These standards were evolved out of pure and pious hearts and minds of noble individuals.  Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's divine mission included revival of ancient values. It is our sacred duty to impart Universal Values in the young minds. All the sacred works of both ancient and modern intellectuals are worthy of reverence and emulation. This book cites Baba's words on ideal Gurus; Views and Experiences of various scholars; and also brief references to noted philosophers and their philosophies.

| Date: Saturday, June 16, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The desires that cling to the mind are the blemishes that tarnish one's inner consciousness. Control the senses; do not yield to their insistent demands for satisfaction. When a corpse is placed on a pyre, and the fire is lit, both the corpse and the pyre are reduced to ashes. So too when the senses are negated, the mind too disappears. When the mind disappears, delusion dies and liberation is achieved. Faith in God is the best reinforcement for spiritual victory. When you revel in the contemplation of the splendour of the Lord, nothing material can attract you; all else will seem inferior and the company of the Godly and the humble alone will be relished. The Spirit can only be awakened and realized through individual discipline, and the Grace of God. These two can be won through love, purity and service to others. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, June 15, 2012 In spiritual matters, faith is the very essence. Have faith in the wisdom of the ancients - do not pitch your tiny and little brain against the institutions of saints and their discoveries. For example, people question the ritual of offering food in the fire, on the death anniversary of one's parents. They scorn and mock, 'How can the food placed here reach wherever they are?'. 'Why are the dead given food, when the living starve?' they argue. If the address is written correctly and clearly, and if the necessary postage is paid in valid stamps, the letter is carried in bus, air, train or by people right upto the doorstep of the person and delivered. The ritual fire is the authorized post box, fire is the postal authority, manthras are the stamps. There is a science of the spirit, as there is a science of matter; it has its own modus operandi; its own experts and authoritative theses. Only by sadhana can the secrets of either matter or mind be known, grasped, and used for your benefit - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

| Prasanthi Nilayam, the Global Township, as always balanced the ancient with the modern this week with two note worthy events. The Gopuram Gate has now been thrown open for devotees during the Darshan time in Sai Kulwant Hall in the mornings and evenings. The Gopuram was built by devoted hands in the South Indian style of temple architecture. The imposing and inspiring structure was inaugurated by Bhagawan on 18th November 1975, during the 50th Birthday celebrations. In 2010, the Kalasams, which form the finials of the Gopuram, were blessed by Bhagawan once again after they were polished in time for the 85th Birthday Celebrations.  The South Indian Canteen was renovated and restarted this week with all new equipment. A complete change in the ground plan of the kitchen, new flooring, cooking utensils and vessels are some of the modifications done. The new equipment included Rice Vessels with Gear Tilting Mechanism, Double Jacketed Steam Vessels, a variety of steamers to enable steam cooking of various dishes and pollution controlled burners using LPG in the place of diesel among others.  The inauguration function commenced with Gayatri Chanting at 0820hrs. Ceremonial Payasam was prepared in the midst of Vedic Chanting by Pundits. Trustees and the Secretary of the Central Trust and Sadhana Trust attended the inauguration even as the Canteen Manager invoked Bhagawan's blessings. Arati was offered at 0905hrs and Prasadam was distributed to all who attended the function. There has also been a change of guard this week with Gujarat taking over from Uttar Pradesh for Sevadal opportunity this afternoon. As per tradition the outgoing Sevadal assembled in Poorna Chandra this afternoon after handing over charges to their Sai brothers and sisters from the land of the Father Of The Nation. They reminisced with an old Darshan video together as a single Sai Community. Later on they were addressed by the Secretary of the Central Trust and Organisational coordinators. | |

This will be easy when you seek satsanga (good company) and perform good deeds, entertain noble thoughts and read inspiring books. More important than all of these is to put into practise, at least one good thought. If you don't practise, the blemishes in the mirror of your heart will not be wiped off and the Lord cannot be reflected therein. Constant practise with full faith will transmute nara (human) to Narayana (Divinity), for you are in essence Divine. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Also train your hands to do acts that serve the Lord Who is shining in every being. All men and women are Him. He shaves as the barber, makes clay as the potter, and washes, starches and irons clothes as the washerman. Know that He prompts, He inspires, He devises and He fulfils. Play your role as a puppet does; the unseen Director will unfold the drama that He has already willed. You take a sheet of paper on which My Form, as I am now, is printed; you fall to the ground before it as an act of reverence. Why cannot you then, revere all human beings, believing that I am in each of them, in an even clearer form? - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Why cannot you then, revere all human beings, believing that I am in each of them, in an even clearer form? - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 The epic Ramayana was sparked off by two little incidents involving two minor characters – the resentment of Kaikeyi's maid Manthara and the lust of Ravana's sister, Surpanakha. Be aware that a tiny spark of these two inimical qualities desire and anger (kama and krodha), is sufficient to destroy peace and joy in your life. Weed them out before they destroy you. Work hard to clear your mind from of all its likes and dislikes. If you succeed in restraining their flow towards the objective world, your senses will be rendered ineffective. Once you accomplish the extinction of the mind, these evil qualities cannot harm you and you will remain in joy and peace. Sensory activity is the warp as well as the woof of the mind. When that ceases, the mind vanishes – it starves and dies. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
