You must all become heroes - adventurous and bold; prepare for that role from now on. Inside you there are many animals: the dog, fox, donkey, wolf, etc. Suppress the tendencies of all these creatures and encourage the human qualities of love and friendship to shine forth. Begin the cultivation of virtues; this is very important, beneficial and will give you real bliss (ananda). It is the essence of all knowledge, the culmination of all learning. Treat everyone as your very own and even if you cannot do them any good, desist from causing them any injury. Burn the lamp of love inside the niche of your heart, and the nocturnal birds of greed and envy will fly away, unable to bear the light. Love makes you humble; bend and bow when you see greatness and glory. An unbending person is infected with egoism of the worst type. Remember, man is the only being that can recognise and revere the great and the glorious.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
