Instead
of indulging in vain prattle, glorify God and walk in His
path and pray to Him. Spend the allotted span of years in
the contemplation and the adoration of the Almighty, not in
servile praise of the feeble, the futile and the weak. Life
is an opportunity afforded to each, not to merely eat and
drink, but to achieve something nobler and grander: to
master oneself and merge in the Reality. The discipline must
come from within, not from without; people must control
themselves through their own innate strength, not get
controlled through fear of someone or desire for temporary
gain. Self-control promotes self-reliance, self-knowledge
and self-advancement.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
