| Date: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 | | | Inference is one method of verification or understanding. We see smoke at a distant hill. From the smoke that emanates, it is easy to decipher that there must be fire somewhere in the hill. Although you see only the smoke, we infer the existence of the "unseen" from the presence of what is seen. This type of verification is called Anumaana Pramana (Inferential Proof). These methods of verification – direct or inferential proof is applicable only to the external universe. To determine the Divine Principle, one must depend only upon the Shabdha Pramana, or the Vedas. When the Divine is described as the One without the attributes, eternal, ever existing, pure and free, self-effulgent, etc. – all these appellations will not make Brahman visible to you. You must follow the teachings and realize the existence of the Divine within you and around you. (My Dear Students, Vol 2, Ch 15, Mar 1, 1981)  -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 | | | Ignorance has a very powerful influence on the mind. Arjuna said to Krishna, "The mind is very powerful, however it has a wavering nature." Lord Krishna said, "A bee has the strength to drill a hole in the hardest variety of wood. However when it enters a lotus, if the lotus closes its petals, then even with all its might, the bee cannot come out of it. Similarly once the all-powerful mind comes to the lotus feet of the Lord it becomes powerless and surrenders. However potent or wavering one's mind may be, it can be and must be controlled with spiritual practice (Sadhana). When Jesus was nailed in the Cross, his followers were deeply pained and in great grief. He said, "Just as this body had a dress, this body is just an attire for the soul. Do not grieve". He taught his followers, "Do not harm anyone or hurt anyone. Treat everyone alike." Everyone must practice these teachings.
