THOUGHT FOR THE DAY AS WRITTEN

AT PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAY

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Your speech should always be good. Never utter harsh words. Speak softly and sweetly. That is why I tell you often, "You cannot always oblige, but you can always speak obligingly." Say what you have to say without harshness. Speak softly so that only the person for whom your words are intended may hear you. Such soft and sweet speech should be developed. Good vision, good listening, and good speech lead to good thoughts. "As are your thoughts, so is the result." Right thoughts lead to right action. Without good thoughts, it is not possible to perform good actions. Good thoughts cannot be acquired by reading scriptures or by listening to the teachings of the preceptor. Through self-effort you should put your senses of sound, touch, form, taste, and smell to right use. Your self-effort alone can ensure proper spiritual practice. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Yesterday's thought
Your life is a long journey. You should have fewer luggage (desires) in this long journey of life. Therefore it is said, "Less luggage, more comfort, makes travel a pleasure." So ceiling on desires is what you have to adopt today. You have to cut short your desires day by day. You are under the mistaken notion that happiness lies in the fulfillment of desires. But in fact, happiness begins to dawn when desires are totally eradicated. When you reduce your desires, you advance towards the state of renunciation. You have many desires; what do you get out of them? You are bound to face the consequences when you claim something as yours. You will be blissful the moment you give up ego and attachment. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba
