| Date: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 | | THOUGHT FOR THE DAY | Look at a beautiful building. How is it strong? It has walls, which gives it support. But how do the walls get the support? There is a foundation beneath it. The walls are able to stand strong because the foundation is solid. What is the use of the walls and foundation without a roof? You can live in a place, only when there is a roof. So too, to lead a happy life and accomplish Self-Realization, you must have Self-confidence as the foundation, Self-satisfaction as the walls and Self-sacrifice as your roof. So first and foremost, develop Self-confidence. Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is truth. Where there is truth, there is bliss. Where there is bliss, there is God. And where there is God, there is everything. Never forget this principle and develop Self-confidence. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 1, Ch 7, Apr 10, 2000) -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 | | YESTERDAY'S THOUGHT | Some people ask, "If we spend all the time praying to God, then who will do our jobs? How can we run our family?" I will show you a very easy way - do your job, thinking that the job also belongs to God. Do not keep your mind on it thinking it is 'my job'. Think that all the actions that you do, you are doing it for God. Offer everything at His Feet. Believe and tell yourself, "Whatever I am doing, I am doing it out of love for God". Then, you need not give up anything. Face the examinations and do your work in a spirit of total devotion and dedication. When you do all your work as God's work, then you will get the right reward. Never think, "This is my work and that is God's work"; such mindset will deprive you of the right rewards. Realize that everything is God's work.
