Cleanse your emotions, passions, impulses, attitudes, and reactions - this is the essence of spiritual discipline from all faiths. Examine your mind and thoughts; do not seek other’s faults. See only good. Speak ill of none! If you slip into slander, repent and resolve not to give vent to that habit again. Humiliate none; respect everyone for the good in them. Their grief at your behaviour will haunt you during your last moments. Let every act of yours stand as your credentials when you leave the world. Let no single act be a drag, or a debit. Soak every moment in love for God. Of what avail is it to spend hours in meditation, and then spread anger and inflict resentment through your words and deeds with friends and family? The Gita recommends you to be satatam yoginah - ever controlled and yoked with the Divine. So be vigilant, be steady, be earnest. The steady person earns wisdom.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
