Sensuous pleasures are momentary and leave a trail
of pain behind. Yet most people, from the learned to the
illiterate, seek only such fleeting and unreal pleasures
(preyas). Hence, instead of seeking
preyas, develop a desire for spiritual well-being
(Shreyas). Surely there is a need for some concern
about physical comforts. ‘Even the body is essential
for the realisation of Dharma,’ says the
scripture. The demands of the body have to be satisfied.
Society has to be served. Family responsibilities have to be
discharged. The body is the basis for all these. But this
should not be the ultimate goal of life. Together with
this, there should be the yearning for a higher
Shreyas. All actions aimed at Spiritual bliss are
related to Shreyas and it is when you yearn for
Shreyas, that even preyas leads you to
fulfilment.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
