Farewell to the current year and welcoming a New Year!

We are now bidding farewell to the current year and welcoming a New Year! There is an intimate relationship between the two. We give a send-off to one while we welcome the other. In the same token, should we not bid farewell to our bad qualities and welcome good and divine qualities? You may offer all your bad qualities to God. There is nothing wrong in this. Indeed, it is only God who can take them and bestow His grace on you to foster good qualities. For example, suppose you have a soiled, torn and mutilated hundred rupee currency note, no one will accept it. But if the number is intact, the Reserve Bank of India will accept it and give a good note of the same value in return. Similarly God alone can and will accept the bad qualities, provided you offer them with sincere devotion and repentance, and in return He will shower His abundant Grace on you!

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
