The body
is the temple of God, He is the resident of the heart, and
intelligence (Buddhi) is the lamp that is lit in
its altar. Protect the lamp and its glow from the wind that
blows through the windows of the senses and threatens to
put them out. Close the windows, do not keep them open for
dire attraction from objects. Keep your intellect sharp, so
that it may cut the mind into a diamond and convert it into
a blaze of light, instead of being a dull pebble.
Discrimination is an important instrument of spiritual
progress. Attachment, affection, and interests - these
create prejudice, partiality, and illusion. They hide the
truth and dull the intelligence. The reasoning faculty must
be employed to distinguish between the limited and the
unlimited, the temporary and the Eternal.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
