| Date: Saturday, July 21, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Desires and wishes go on multiplying; they never end. The fulfilment of one leads to a new series. Strive to arrive at the stage when His wish alone will count and you are an instrument in His hands. Do not cater to low desires; control your listening. The Gopis desired to listen only to glory and achievements of Krishna, His charm and pranks, His words and exploits. When you fill yourselves with love for God, you achieve saaruupya (likeness to the divine form you contemplate) and saayuujya (absolute merger). Strive for that consummation, not for lesser victories. Live with Love, in Love, for Love. Then the Lord who is Premaswaruupa (Divine Love personified) will grant you all that you need in spite of your not asking for anything. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Friday, July 20, 2012 To have the mind fixed on God in one's final moments, is not something that can be accomplished easily. It presupposes long training, and certain accomplishments. This is referred to as Purva samskara. The mind should have gone through a certain course of rigorous discipline. That alone is not enough; the mind must discard all other thoughts as low and inferior, even as defiling. This disgust towards all other objects should grow in strength. When these two – disciplining of the mind and an attitude of detachment to all other thoughts are present, concentration on the Divine will certainly emerge and be steady during the last moments. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Do not seek to find fault in others. Give up maligning others and injuring others in thought, word and deed. Do not scandalize anyone; do not entertain envy or malice. Be always gentle in temperament; use soft and sweet words. Fill your conversations with devotion and humility. Live in Love, for love, with love. Then the Lord, who is Himself Divine Love personified, will grant you all that you need, without you asking for anything. He knows. He is the Mother who does not wait to hear the moan of the child to feed it. He anticipates every need and rushes to you with help that you must have. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

But without the connecting thread, they all fall off. So too, without that bond in Divine, you will fall off as entities unrelated to the rest of your fellow beings. Never forget that every one of you are beings with a Divine spark within. The Divine Current flows through and activates each of you. Learn to direct your mind, so that it helps you to recognize the Divinity in and around you. Be sure to wield this instrument of the mind, rather than yield to it. Understand the technique of its working as well as its potentialities. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

Understand the technique of its working as well as its potentialities. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Yesterday's thought Date: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 When young men and women go out to countries overseas, their aged parents are worried about their reactions to the attractions of the strange culture. The father or mother write to their children, pleading with them not to give up the family habits of worship, prayer, food and drink. The children may have tears in their eyes with fond remembrance of their parents, but that is all. They then yield to the temptations and slide away. The spirit with which the letter is written is not honoured in action. So too, many worship the sacred books that have noble thoughts present in them. They shower flowers and offer prayers, but when it comes to practising even a bit of what is written in them, it seems an impossible task for most! You must live in love, and practice it, every single day without fail. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
