| Date: Saturday, June 23, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Learn to acquire bliss and peace in your life by studying the scriptures, or from sages who have won them. Stick to the path assiduously, even if you received sharp criticism or callous condemnation. Never let cynical laughter or comments bother you; they can never harm a spiritual aspirant. Can a storm shake the Himalayan range? Let not your faith in the goal or the path, quake before trouble or trial, toil or travail, distress or despair. These are but passing clouds, casting temporary shadows, hiding for a little while, the glory of the sun or the moon. Do not get distracted by doubt or despondency. Build the mansion of your life on four firm pillars – virtue, wealth, desire and liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha) as laid down by the ancient sages, each pillar bound strong and safe with every other. Never allow these pillars to slant or tumble as some individuals, communities or nations are doing now. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, June 22, 2012 It is want of faith that causes one to lose temper and fly into fits of anger; it is lack of faith in oneself and in others. If you really see yourself as the undefeatable Self (Atma) and others as reflections of yourself, as scriptures declare them to be, there can be no provocation to get angry. What you must resolve today, is to manifest your inherent Divinity more and more. Whatever else you may or may not do, do at least this: know the Lord that resides in you. Recognise Him, let Him manifest Himself in and through you. Fundamentally the fault lies in not understanding that this body and all things connected with it are impermanent. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Could you have used them with confidence, without preparation, on the spur of the moment? Similarly, whatever else one may not meet during life, one is certain to meet with death. So all must be trained to have at that time, the attitude and thought that are most beneficial to them. Will it not be wise, therefore, to strive for the end, in your own best interest? Hence, take earnest steps to secure the thought of God, from early on. Whoever in the last moment of life, thinks of Me, attains Me." Through the discipline of constant practice, avoid other thoughts and concentrate on the Lord alone. This is a certain way to reach God. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Sixty seconds, make a minute, sixty minutes make an hour, twenty four hours constitute a day and thirty days make a month; twelve months pass and we say a year has passed! When twelve months are over, we come back again to the first in the list of months, and call it the New Year Day. We go on a spree to celebrate the occasion. Really speaking, nothing new has happened on the "New Year Day" - it is not the year, but every second that follows the present that is new. Hence, do not wait for the celebration of something new in Time, until minutes, hours, days, months and years add up! Celebrate the immediately succeeding second, and every one after it, through honest effort and attain everlasting joy. Do not waver in your determination to live in joy and peace. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

However this is of no use if you lean on a pillar in the lecture hall and doze off. That is to say, it is not the sound, but the meaning that matters. It is not the ear, but the heart that must drink the nectar of Geetha and imbibe its essence. Seek and enjoy noble company (Sathsangam); but along with that, there also needs to be self-examination. Examine yourself to see how much you have succeeded in escaping from the senses, and getting close to God. The mind is like a wild elephant which can be tamed by the repetition of the Lord's name. Do not feed it with conceit, envy, hatred and greed. Let the name of the Lord echo ever in the ear. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

The act of shifting a home is physical, it does not affect you. So too births and deaths do not affect the eternal Paramatma (supreme soul) present within you. To escape this cycle of being born again and again, 'Pranava' (chanting of Aum) is a potent instrument. All the long years of life should be utilised for this final moment of consummation. Your mind should be fixed on Pranava when the body is being cast off. You belch the flavour of the food you have partaken; your last thought indicates the food you have fed on. Your Sadgathi (progress) is in accordance with your Sadhana (practice). Hence be aware of the need to fix your mind on holy thoughts when the body is got rid of. And this is possible when you immerse yourself in holy thought every moment, and practice it incessantly. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
