THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Your worldly intelligence cannot fathom the ways of God. He cannot be recognised by mere cleverness, which is what your intelligence mostly is. You may benefit from God, but you cannot explain Him. You may benefit from electricity, and use it in a thousand ways, but you cannot explore and explain its mystery. How and why it works in a particular manner and not in any other way, is beyond your ken. Your explanations are merely guesses, attempts to clothe your ignorance in pompous expressions. The mistake is, you give the brain more value than it deserves. The Para-thathwa (Supreme Truth) is beyond the reach of the brain; you cannot lift a rock when you are standing on it! Standing in Maya, you cannot discard it.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Yesterday's thought
Become like the flute, a hollow reed, straight, light, with no substance to hinder His breath. Then He will come and pick you up and breathe divine music through you, playing upon you with a delicate touch. In His hand the infinitesimal will be transmuted into the Infinite. Intensify the love that is present within you. It is a sacred gift. Expand your love so that all beings can share in it. Your love must be such that if someone around you is sad, you feel sad and if they are happy, you feel that happiness. Have your love fixed and devoted on the Lord, whether your petty wishes get fulfilled or not. Never let go, under any circumstances, this precious treasure - your Love for God.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Ramadan For Human Excellence…

Saturday, August 10th, 2013
 
 
Islam Stands for i shall Love All Mankind, declared the Higher Secondary School children presenting a thematic drama on the occasion of Holy Ramzan this evening here in Prasanthi Nilayam.
 
 
The presentation entitled Ramadan For Human Excellence was about what entails the holy festivity, Ramzan, being celebrated today. Ramzan is the 9th month of Islamic Calendar that Muslims around the world celebrate with fasting, austerity and spiritual adherence.
 
 
This evening's presentation began at 1700 hrs. after half-an-hour Vedam chanting. Beginning with a village backdrop scene wherein a grandfather explains his little grandson of the story behind the festivity, the presentation evolves into a fully-woven story explaining finer details of various religious practices that form part of the festivity.
 
 
The grandfather begins with a brief explanation on the three phases of Ramzan, divided into ten days apiece. The first ten days are days of mercy; the second phase of ten days is for forgiveness, and the final phase  is for seeking refuge from Hellfire to reach Godhood. Narrating significance of each ten-day period, the drama, with the help of a couple of beautifully woven episodes from old-time stories, highlights the salient features of the festivity, namely, adherence to Truth, elimination of desires, sincerity etc. A beautiful dance, tuned to a quawwali, was also interlanced in between, depicting the joyous mood of the festivity.
 
 
At the end the programme came the story of the Mosque in Puttaparthi, constructed and consecrated by Bhagawan Himself in the year 1978. Hearing the inspiring story of Sathya Sai Baba and His adherence to all religous beliefs the little grandson develops a special taste for 'Sai Allah' and thus the trio, grandfather, son and grandson sets out to Puttaparthi seeking Sai Allah. Recollecting from what Bhagawan had spoken about Islam, during the inauguration of the Mosque in 1978, the presentation gives a beautiful definition for ISLAM, in His own words…Islam Stands for i shall Love All Mankind.
 
 
The programme ended with a beautiful group song by the entire set of participants, crying out to Sai Allah!
 
 
Bhajans by the Higher Secondary wing continued and ended with Mangala Arathi at 1810 hrs.

Eid-Mubarak-SHIRDI-SAI-Sabka-Malik-Ek


May the blessings of Allah fill your life with happiness and open all the doors of success now and always.

Yesterday's thought
There is no point in distributing the essence of spirituality (Adhyatma rasa) to underfed and weak people; give them food (Anna rasa) first, make them strong enough to entertain strong beliefs and contain strong ideals. Physical hunger must first be appeased by simple and pure (Sathwik) food. Then the repetition of the Name of the Lord must be undertaken; it can be any name that appeals to you the most. Do not treat the Name lightly. Respect it even if you hear it from the lips of a beggar, who uses it to procure alms. Though the person who utters the Name is bad or though his motive in uttering it may not be noble, do not ill treat the Name for its purity can never be harmed. Thank them for reminding you of the Lord and go your way.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
