Take
the ups and downs of life as natural. They are incidental to
the world of compounds and components. When an empty
plantain leaf is kept, it tends to move up in the wind and
fly. But, when you serve dishes on it, the food and the
leaf will remain unshaken. So too, fill your mind and heart
with the virtues of faith, steady discipline, devotion,
detachment and equanimity - these are items of the
spiritual menu. Then you will not sink with every blow.
When you have attained true wisdom, you will find that good
fortune should not be gloated over, nor bad fortune grieved
over. A hero treats both with equal unconcern. Pain and Gain
are breezes and storms that cannot affect the depths of the
ocean of bliss in the heart of a true devotee.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
