For fire to increase or decrease, fuel is the only cause. The more the quantity of fuel, brighter will be the illumination. Fire has the power to give light by its very nature. So too, in the fire of intellect of the spiritual aspirant, the fuel that produces renunciation, peacefulness, truth, kindness, forbearance and selfless service has to be constantly fed so that the light of wisdom is produced. The more ‘fuel’ placed, the more the efficacious and effulgent the spiritual practitioners will become. Only trees growing on fertile soil can yield good harvest. Trees which grow on saline soils will bear only poor yield. So also, it is only in hearts that are unsullied can holy feelings, divine power and gifts shine in splendour.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
