The
goal of every life is knowing the Supreme, that is, attaining
liberation; there can be no second aim. You are endowed with life, not
for the purpose of building bungalows, acquisition of estates,
accumulation of wealth, addition of progeny, earning of titles or ascent
into higher rungs of social life. One’s greatness does not depend on
these. The sweetest success in life lies in the winning of permanent
bliss and perennial escape from grief and agitation. You are children of
immortality. The heritage of immortality must be recognised and
experienced; it must be won back. The bonds of name and form are
temporary and must be removed. They are not genuine natural
characteristics of the individual soul. Escape from grief and joy for a
brief period of time is not a sign of real liberation. Real wisdom
consists in recognising that you are pure bliss;
bliss that persists from the past into the present and the future.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
