When
worship is rendered with a view to fulfill desires and
realize wishes, the precious prize will be lost. Worship
must cleanse the heart, so that God, the Indweller, may
shine in all His glory. Know that desires tarnish the
heart, instead of cleansing it. Invite a prince, who is yet
a child to sit on the throne – he will start weeping,
for he cannot play on the throne with his toys and pets.
The adults would sneer at the boy’s fondness for
toys, they would call it childishness. So too, all those,
who keep away from the throne of ‘Sovereignty over
themselves’ and prefer to play with the toys and pets
of material things are equally childish, no matter what
their age or status is!
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
