1.All
worldly pleasures are transient and temporary. Very often
they result in sorrow and disappointment. You often
experience loss, depression and confusion and have no
contentment. Know that lack of contentment is the real loss
(Asantrupto nijo nashtah). There is no limit to
desires. One feels hungry, another is thirsty. If the
thirsty man is offered water, he is not satisfied, he wants
a cool drink. When he is given a cool drink, next he wants
ice cream, and so on. He is not satisfied with anything.
Realize that there is no end to desires for material things
in the world. To get rid of these desires, one must turn
their mind towards God. The purpose of human birth is to
realise the inherent Divinity. That is the way to achieve
contentment and lasting bliss. God alone is the source of
enduring bliss.
2.When
students score low marks parents feel great grief.
Similarly, when we fall low in morals and spiritual
virtues, our motherland bemoans her fate ten times more
sadly. We have to assuage the grief of the physical mother
and promote the peace and prosperity of our motherland. The
motherland is not a mere lump of earth. When we desire her
progress, we have to promote the progress of the people who
dwell therein. The skills needed for resuscitating and
reforming are found in youth. The reforming process
involves the removal, in daily living, of bad conduct and
bad habits, and the practice of good conduct and good deeds.
You must express your humility, fortitude, equanimity, and
gratitude for kindness received, in various acts in your
daily life, every day.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
