Spiritual discipline is more arduous than
physical discipline. Imagine the tremendous amount of
effort undergone by the lady who runs along a wire
stretched across the ring underneath a circus tent. The gain
is just a few rupees after all. The same steadfastness and
systematic effort aimed at a higher reward can endow you
with mental balance and you can maintain your equilibrium
under the most adverse or the most testing circumstances.
But for such spiritual achievements the intellect and other
instruments of perception are more important than the limbs.
The intellect is the key. Make the intellect the master of
your mind and you will not fail. You will fail only when
the senses establish mastery over the mind.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
