| Date: Sunday, May 27, 2012 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Each one gets the result that their spiritual practice (sadhana) deserves, that their acts in this and previous births grant them. In the epic Ramayana, the demon king Ravana had scholarship, strength, wealth, power, authority and even the grace of God - but the virus of lust and pride which lodged in his mind brought about his destruction, despite all attainments. He could not dwell in peace and joy for a moment after the infection started to work. Life is a constant campaign against many foes, it is a battle with obstacles, temptations, hardships and hesitations. These enemies are present within every being and so the battle is incessant and perpetual. Each one differs from another, in this struggle against the inner attackers. Like the virus that thrives on the bloodstream, the vices of lust, greed, hate, malice, pride and envy sap the energy and faith of human beings and reduce them to untimely fall. Hence, always remember this - Virtue is strength, vice is weakness. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba  Yesterday's thought Date: Saturday, May 26, 2012 The difference between human and demon (Maanava and Daanava) is just this – human beings should have morality, self-control and compassion (Dharma, Dhama and Daya). Demons do not have these, nor do they consider them as desirable characteristics; they ignore them and pay no heed to the prompting of these virtues. On the contrary, these three are in fact the essential qualities of every man. Every being in the universe is a pilgrim on the path from demon to human to divine. The number of stages in this journey is as many as the number of hearts in this universe! Each pilgrim moves at their own speed and with the Name and Form that inspires them. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

It is necessary for every individual to do a rigorous self-examination to remove all evil from oneself. A patient has to take the prescribed drugs and follow the instructions that are beneficial to cure the ailment. The patient cannot ask for sweet medicines and comfort. So too people are normally attached to physical comfort and objective pleasure and try to hide their defects, instead of trying to remove them. People buy dark coloured clothes, so that they may not reveal its dirt; they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; be repentful of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fas - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |

If it is printing you require, you operate the printer with a knob. Consider these as separate operations and you will notice that they are unrelated to one another. Light and air, heat and sound, are unconnected; they are distinct in every way, it would seem. But for all these, the Kartha, the energizer, is the same - the electric current. The expressions and manifestations may be different; but the basis, the inspiration, the latent potency, or the base is the same. Like electricity, God too operates through all instruments, and awards the consequences of all the activities done by everyone; He is the inner motivator of all beings. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
