| Date: Monday, July 14, 2014 | | | Let God be your Guru, your path, your Lord. Adore Him, obey His commands, offer Him your grateful homage, and hold Him fast in your memory. This is the one and only way, and the easiest way to realize Him as your own reality. This reality is cognisable everywhere. It is evident within yourself, when you earnestly seek it. You can experience it, even while performing selflessly your duty to yourself and others. I shall indicate to you today, four directives for sanctifying your lives and purifying your mind, so that you can contact the God within you. They are: Give up the company of the wicked (Thyaja durjana samsargam); Welcome the chance to be among the good (Bhaja Sadhu Samagamam); Do good deeds both day and night (Kuru punyam ahoraatram); Remember and discriminate which is lasting or otherwise (Smara nitya-anityatam). (Divine Discourse, 2 Jul 1985)  -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Sunday, July 13, 2014 | | | To hate or injure other beings is as bad as hating and injuring oneself. The reason being that the injurer is as much a living being with God as the core, as the injured is. Until you become aware of your own Divinity (Deva-tatwa) so long as you are conscious of your distinct individuality (Jiva-tatwa) - till you feel you are you and God is God, you struggle, with some attitudes and objectives. This is called the Sadhaka stage. During that stage, you must endeavour to equip yourself with the qualities of love, sympathy and compassion. For, without these, Yoga and Jnana (wisdom) cannot be secured. Love is vital, it is divine. To render an act fit to be offered to God and pure enough to win His Grace, it must be a manifestation of Love. The brighter the manifestation, the nearer you are to God. (Divine Discourse, 29 Jul 1969) -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Saturday, July 12, 2014 | | | Poornima means the effulgent fullmoon. Guru is One who removes darkness and delusion from the heart and illumines it with the higher wisdom. The Moon and the Mind are interrelated, as object and image. On this day, the Moon is full, fair and cool, its light pleasant and peaceful; the light of the Mind too has to be pleasing and pure. In the firmament of your heart, the moon is the Mind. Sensual desires and worldly activities are the clouds, thick and heavy which mar your joy at the light of the moon. Let the strong breeze of love scatter the clouds away and confer on you the cool glory of moonlight. When devotion shines full, the sky in the heart becomes a bowl of beauty and life is transformed into a charming avenue of Ananda (bliss). That beauty of heart, that bliss in life can be won through the Mind, if the lesson of this day is remembered and realised.
