The seed of Divinity must be fostered by human effort and steady care to blossom and fructify. Remove from your mind all traces of desire to harm others, in thought, word and deed. The result of indulging in such temporarily satisfying behavior to cause harm is disastrous. Each such thought is a seed, a wild weed planted in your own mind. It will grow and destroy your own peace and joy. So, be vigilant against such tendencies. Cleanse your thoughts, words and deeds to be appropriate to those marching towards the Divine. Selfishness is the canker that destroys charity. Though you are aware that it is wrong, selfishness will not allow you to desist. You can overcome it through steady determination. Joyfully share with others the knowledge, skills and wealth you earned, ideas and ideals you benefited from, and the joy of practising discipline and dedication. Sharing will not diminish them or devalue them, but will make them shine with added splendour.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
