THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
You spend a lot of time on useless, momentary, temporary and worldly activities. Are you spending even a second of it for God? It is sufficient even if you concentrate for one second truly on the Lotus feet of Lord Krishna. If someone is given a Shiva Lingam, they have difficulty in worshipping it with Abhishekam (holy prayerful bath). But they have time to clean their shoes or other objects with utmost care and interest. They struggle to find time to perform Abhishekam with a spoon of water. It is not that they don't have time and the process is tedious. They lack interest. People are more interested in worldly activities. You lack interest in something that is pure. Only because of lack of purity, you are losing the power of discrimination. 'Shraddhavan Labhate Jnanam' – only out of deep interest can one acquire wisdom. Hence we must develop interest in spiritual subjects. (My Dear Students, Vol 3,Ch 4, June 26, 1989.)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
One should realise the infinite powers latent in oneself. It is these powers which have enabled mankind to invent the most wonderful kinds of machinery. Humans are, therefore, more valuable than the most precious things in the world. It is human beings who imparts value to things by the changes they make in them, as in the case of diamonds or a work of art. In the spiritual field, humans are enjoined at the very outset to know oneself. One should not be a slave of the senses. Nor should one follow others like sheep. 'Be a ship and not sheep.' A ship serves to carry others and cross the Ocean. The one who pursues the spiritual path not only benefits himself but promotes the well-being of others. Consider the body as a vessel, wisdom as a rope 'and use the vessel to draw the nectar of Divinity from the well of spirituality. Not otherwise can immortality be attained. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 11, Mar 5, 1995.)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
