For you
to relish the dish (pappu) it must have enough salt
(uppu). But if you add a little extra, it spoils
the dish. So too, life becomes very difficult to bear, if
you have too much of desire. Limit your desires to your
capacity and even among them, have only those that will
grant you lasting joy. Do not run after fashion and public
approval and strain your resources beyond repair. Also
stick to your own code of conduct (Dharma) that
regulates your life or the stage you have reached. Do not
place your needs and joy first. Consider the joy of others
as more important than your own. Respect elders and
cultivate cordiality between brothers and sisters, teachers
and students, employers and employees. Respect the culture
of your land and bring honour to the land you were born in
and live in. Nourish your parents, revere them. If you do
so, the Lord of the Universe will guard you against
harm.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
