THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Birth as a human being is a unique chance. For, human beings alone are endowed with discriminating intelligence, that is, the power to reason out the best amongst alternative courses. You are, by design, very far from the animal kingdom (pashu) and very near to Divine (Pashupathi). Do not relapse into animality. Imbibe love, nobility and majesty from the scriptures; they are so full of it! For example, look at the grandeur in behaviour portrayed in Ramayana! After the war, when Ravana fell, Rama sent Lakshmana to the battlefield with the message to see that he is treated like the Emperor of Lanka, and not as a despised enemy. The scriptures have in them such lessons that portray the majesty of virtue (Seelam), action (Kriya) and feelings (Bhava).
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Yesterday's thought  
Be careful to not engage yourself in Iccha Krishi (the cultivation of wants and desires). This is a never ending process of sowing and reaping, you will never reach contentment. For, one desire, when satisfied will fan the thirst for ten more. Be warned! Do not run after devious desires or crooked satisfactions. All roads leading to the realm of the senses are tortuous and blind. Only the road that leads to God is straight. Cultivate straightforwardness (Neethi) in your every act. That will reveal the Divine in due course. It will also enable you to overcome your three Gunas (Rajas, Sathwa and Tamo). Just as you grind chilly, salt and tamarind to get a tasty dish, you must grind all the three Gunas so that the taste of Ananda (bliss) emerges.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
