A person stands knee-deep in the river Ganges or Godavari, and utters hymns in praise of the river. He lifts up in his palm sacred water of the river and pours it back as his offering to the deity the river represents. Its water into itself - God's gift to God again! That’s all one is capable of; that is all one needs to do. He endowed you with this wonderful body, this sweet tongue, this amazing instrument called mind! He granted you intelligence, powers of analysis and synthesis, the capacity to receive and give up, to remember and forget. Acknowledge these gratefully and use them to the best advantage. Use them to see Him everywhere in all beings, to seek Him through all the ups and downs, joys and griefs, doubt and decisions of life. These dual impacts are a result of wavering of the mind. The mind revels in diversity of name and form; it must be drilled into the recognition and enjoyment of unity!
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
