Realize
that mere cleverness has no place in spiritual affairs. Artifice and
artificiality are truly impediments to spiritual progress. It is when
cleverness increases and chokes sincerity and straightforwardness in
spiritual matters, and in the relationship between God and Man, that the
Avatar comes. You may have a costly transistor or watch with you, but
if you do not know how to use it efficiently they are mere lumber. Now
think what a wonderful machine you yourself are! Should you not know
how to operate it and get the best results out of it? Ancient Indian
seers discovered the art of operating this human machine, but their
descendants have allowed that art to decline. If you have the thirst to
know it, you can light the lamp of your life from that of the sages and
experience joy and bliss.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
