People have specialised in various methods of worshipping God; there is a host of ceremonies, hymns, festivals, fasts, vows, pilgrimages, etc., but the best form of worship that will draw God’s grace in ample measure is obedience to His commands. Adulation is poor adoration! Placing God at a great distance from you and praising Him as Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent will not please Him. Develop nearness and kinship with God. Win Him by obedience, loyalty, humility and purity. Make your lives simple; fill the daily tasks with love and mutual cooperation; be tolerant towards the errors and failings of others; look upon them with empathy and understanding, and be calm under all conditions. Then, you and your country will certainly be very happy. Your sentiments will be unselfish and your emotions, tender. Envy, hatred and vindictiveness can gain no entrance into the stronghold of your mind where mercy, benevolence and indulgence stand guard.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
