Persons who go to the Ganges to bring the holy water can take with them only as much as their containers can hold. Hence, it is essential to broaden the spiritual container in you, namely, your heart. Divinity cannot be realised by various forms of worship. They are good acts in themselves and give their appropriate rewards. But they do not promote spirituality, which consists in establishing association with it only by concentrating on the realisation of that oneness. The Divine has no birth or death and pervades every being as the witness. What is required is a transformation of the heart. All bad thoughts and feelings should be expelled from the heart. Even in the performance of bhajans there should be whole-hearted participation. It should not be a mechanical ritual. Once your heart is filled with sacred thoughts and feelings, they will be reflected in your bhajan-singing. Through your singing you should give joy to all the participants.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
