| Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 | | THOUGHT FOR THE DAY | The five elements and their permutations and combinations constitute the Universe. Earth is the grossest, and has the highest number of characteristics. It has its own smell as well as the characteristics of touch, taste, form and sound (Gandha, Sparsha, Rasa, Rupa and Sabdha). The next element is Water, which is subtler than the earth and has only – taste, touch and form. The next element, Fire is subtler still and has sound and touch. The element Air is even subtler and has touch as its special attribute and sound as another predominant characteristic. The most subtle and pervasive element, Sky or Ether has only one characteristic, sound. God is subtler than all the above and so He is all-pervading, even more than ether or anything more pervasive than that. His nature is beyond all human vocabulary, beyond all human mathematics. Have this conviction well stabilised in your intellect. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | Date: Monday, April 15, 2013 | | Yesterday's thought | God is everywhere, and is everything; so, it appears as if He is nowhere, and He is not in anything! For, to know Him you try to identify Him as someone foreign and unique. He is Love, Power, Truth, Wisdom and Beauty. When you accept Love, you accept God. The tender plant of spirituality can grow only in the field of Love. It cannot thrive in the dehydrated loveless land of human hearts. Remove all traces of salinity from your hearts adding to the soil the precious complement of the Name of the Lord. Water it with Faith. Then plant the seedlings of Divinity; have discipline as the fence, and steadfastness as the pesticide to be sprayed. Then, you can reap the rich harvest of Jnana (wisdom), which will free you from the task of cultivation forever. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba | Join Us on Facebook Just a reminder, if you are on Facebook then you should join our Sai Ram Facebook-page.
