You must
pay attention to the small details in your daily life, for
devotion (bhakthi) is not just a pose one strikes.
It is a series of little acts, directed by the attitude of
reverence for Divinity in all beings. Watch for the lie
that lurks on the tongue, the violence that lurks behind
your fist, the ego that lurks stealthily behind a deed.
Restrain them before they grow into habits and settle down
as character to thwart your destiny. God is like a
shopkeeper who has a store full of all the things that you
need in your life. If you, as customer, go to the shop and
ask for a towel, can the shopkeeper hand out a shirt? God
is like that, He hands out exactly what you ask for.
Material things are not at all important. Discriminate and
ask God for Devotion (Bhakthi) and Spiritual Wisdom
(Jnana).
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
