The easiest means to achieve love for God is to worship God as having a form. Worship of God is of three important types: Satvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. In the Tamasic form of worship, the individual prays to God but continues violence, anger and pomp, causing pain. Any worship that is done for the sake of name, fame, with pomp and ego is called the Tamasic worship. Rajasic worship is done for the sake for fulfilling selfish interests and to attain great heights in one's life. Devotion with the feeling that one alone should be safe, happy and should be blessed involves utter selfishness. Such a devotee does not even aspire or think about the well-being of the family or the society. A Satvic devotee performs all daily tasks to please God, with total surrender and offers all tasks performed during the day as loving service to God. (My Dear Students, Vol 3, Ch 7, July 9 1989.)  -Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
All work is God's; He inspires, He helps, He executes, He enjoys, He is pleased. - Baba

You must welcome both summer and winter, for they are both essential for the process of living. The alternation of seasons toughens and sweetens us. Birth and death are both natural events. We cannot discover the reason for either birth or death. They simply happen. Hence we must learn to welcome the field of natural ups and downs (Prakrithika). The second is the field of social equanimity: We often try to blame some person or some incident for the injury or loss we suffer but the real reason is our own karma (action). When the background of the event is known, the impact can be lessened or even negated. Hence you must welcome with equal-mindedness fame and blame, respect and ridicule, profit and loss, and such other responses and reactions from the society in which one has to grow and struggle. (Divine Discourse, Sep 7, 1985) -Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
Fortune is as much a challenge to one's equanimity as misfortune. - Baba
