THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Due to the force of gravity objects fall. The gravitational force is invisible to our eyes. Similarly, there are innumerable divine forces operating in this Universe. You must not deny them just because you cannot see them. Only the power of the Divine enables you to speak, see, move and think. All the power of the sense organs are derived from the Divine. In conceit, you may imagine that you are the doer. This is the result of ignorance and folly. Ask the question, what is responsible for existence? The answer is Divinity. Without faith in the Divine, nothing can be achieved. There is no need to seek a reason for this faith – Faith has no season or reason, it is like the love of a child for the mother. The child loves its mother for the sole reason that she is its mother. Develop such confidence and firm faith, you can realize God. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 8, June 15, 1989)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
When Krishna was placed in the weighing scale, Rukmini brought one Tulasi leaf and said, "One may offer a leaf, a flower, fruit, or even just water to God. I offer this Tulasi leaf to You. If it is true that you rescue the person devoted to You, I pray, let this leaf of Tulasi balance Your weight." The sanctity of sacred thoughts and acts are not understood by many. Rukmini's offering was filled with devout feeling, so it equaled the weight of Lord Krishna, who is the very Lord of the Universe. Rukmini accomplished this feat through her selfless devotion. What is the significance in the offering of a leaf? Body (deha) is a leaf (patram) with three attributes of Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Heart (Hrudaya) is a flower (pushpam). The flower of the heart is pure and sacred. From this flower comes the fruit, mind with its sweet juice. You must offer this to God. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 3, Ch 3, June 30, 1996)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
After birth, as one grows, one develops association with relatives, friends, teachers and others. Through these numerous relationships, one's human qualities develop and blossom. You must show your gratitude to all by striving for their well-being. Without these associations, the lone individual would remain at an animal level. If you confine your interests to a few subjects, it will result in narrow-mindedness. You must not be restrictive in acquiring skills that help you earn a livelihood. In fact, you must learn about life itself, how it should be lived and the basic goal of life. Learning how to earn an income is not a great thing; all the evils that we see in the world today stem from a perverted system of education. An educated person must control one's senses. Education that helps one discover one's spiritual essence is real education. Learn how to live as a worthy human being. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Ch 8, Jun 15, 1989)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
In this world, to receive one thing, you need to give up another. When you want a simple handkerchief, you need to pay rupees ten, only then will the shopkeeper sell it to you. God is a very kind merchant. If you offer even a small amount of devotion, the Merciful Lord will, in return, shower infinite amount of Grace on you. The poor devotee, Kuchela offered a handful of beaten rice to Lord Krishna and received His blessings in abundance. Queen Draupadi, during a distressful moment, prayed with a pure heart. Because of the little sacrifice she made earlier, Lord Krishna rushed to respond to her call and showered His infinite Grace to protect her. The fruits of action are inevitable and no one can escape them. However you can nullify or modify the consequences to a certain extent, if you become worthy and deserve His Grace. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 3, Ch 3, June 30, 1996)

YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT
On a stage, there are a number of lights. One is turned towards an actor in the role of a king. Another is focussed on a beggar. Yet another light is on a man reading the Ramayana. The fourth one lights up a fighting scene. Here, although the lights illumine a variety of scenes, they remain unaffected by the behaviour of the actors; they simply bear witness to the actions but no blame attaches to them for what the actors do. The characters alone are affected by what they do. Similarly Time is a witness to what everyone is doing. This Time is available equally to all. Your primary duty is to make right use of this Time. For this purpose, there is no need for you to wait for the beginning of a new year. Every moment is a manifestation of Time. The second is the basis for the year. Hence every second should be filled with purposeful action. (Divine Discourse 27 March 1990)
-Sri Sathya Sai Baba
