A
hermit once met the Goddess of Cholera on the road,
returning from a village where she had thinned the
population. He asked her how many she had taken into her
lap. She replied, "Only ten." But, truly speaking,
the casualties were a hundred. She explained, "I
killed only ten; the rest died out of fear!" Man is
Aathmaswarupa (Self-embodied), that is,
Abhayaswaruupa (Fearlessness-embodied). If only
you know your real nature, you will give no room for
weakness or cowardice. This is the main aim of culture - to
cultivate mental calm and courage; to make everyone feel
kinship with everyone else. You are born with the cry
'koham' (who am I?), on your lips; when you depart,
you must have the declaration 'Soham' (I am He), on
your smiling face.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
