This is
an ancient observation true even today – that most
people spend their childhood in pranks and play, their youth
in sports, pleasure and pastime, middle age in plans and
schemes to pile up a fortune, and old age in hospitals
trying to bolster failing health through failing wealth.
Earning and spending, one fills their time with work and
worry. People are busy with a number of attempts to earn
happiness, but success is little and short-lived. The only
panacea for all ills, the effort that will result in total
victory is the control of the mind, which is the master of
the senses. Every sense organ is an outlet for energy that
binds one to the objective world. The senses are induced by
the mind to move out and attach themselves to objects. You
must make the mind submit to viveka (wisdom), which
discriminates between right and wrong. Then the mind,
instead of harming, will help you.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
