As long as you have
worldly desires in view, you cannot escape sorrow. Joy and peace are not
present in external objects; they are within you. But in your foolishness, you
search for them outside yourself in the external world. For sure, you are bound
to depart from this ephemeral world – perhaps today or tomorrow.
Therefore realising its impermanence, try to know the essence of the eternal
Truth. Try to experience the love that is God (Paramatma) itself. Discriminate at every turn, accepting what is
true and discarding the rest. Anyone and everyone can easily grasp the
relationship you (jiva) have with your Creator, if you acquire these three
chief instruments - (1) a mind unsullied by attachment and hatred (2) speech
unsullied by falsehood and (3) a body unsullied by violence. Arise and awaken
yourself, here and now!
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
