In the
present, practice of devotion, worship and rituals are for
the sake of better comforts and more luxury for the
individuals themselves. Devotion has degenerated into a
business deal. Often one prays, “Please give me this,
I shall give You so much.” If they feel one shrine
promises more, the current shrine is given up. If even in
the new shrine, one does not get quick returns, then they
quickly look elsewhere to some ‘other’ God who
gives more profit! Many people wander in this manner. Some
also think, “If I stand amongst many others, God will
not notice me. I must stand in a unique position and shout
to attract His attention!” Do not behave foolishly!
Hold fast to noble ideals. Do not try to bring down the
Almighty to your limited vision. Rise up, strengthen your
detachment and establish yourself in discrimination, then
your goal is brought nearer.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
