Housing,
clothing and food gives physical comfort and happiness. Education,
development of skills, and knowledge about the world gives a means for
livelihood. However the ancient adage says that real and lasting
happiness cannot be won by physical happiness (“Na Sukhaat labhathe sukham”).
Lasting happiness – happiness that will not be shaken, diminished or
modified by changing wheels of fortune can only come by the discipline
of the mind, and faith in a Higher Power. The lamp of spiritual
awareness has to be lit and fed continuously, so that one’s footsteps
can take that path and proceed unharmed to that state of true happiness.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathy Sai Baba
