Do
not merely boast of your knowledge of the scriptures and that you have
read it a hundred times over and learnt by heart the commentaries so far
written upon them. Reflect upon this fact - of all the millions that
lived, why is it that Arjuna alone had the Vishwarupa Darshana
(Vision of the Cosmic form)? It is because he had reached the highest
stage of surrender. At the appropriate time, Krishna started the lessons
on Bhagavad Gita and progressively, Arjuna’s surrender, yearning and
unexcelled concentration grew. And then Arjuna was blessed with the
universal manifestation of the Lord. Unless one attains that same degree
of surrender and yearning, how can that result be expected? The cycle
of birth and death cannot be got rid of by scholarship. Hence start
with this first lesson. Cleanse your mind and journey to that realm
where you see
God in everyone, everywhere, at all times, through uninterrupted
remembrance of your chosen Lord. This is the most effective spiritual
practice.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
