One may
know the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita by heart, but trust
Me, the time that was spent in learning by rote and
reciting it, is all a waste, if one does not resolutely act
upon even a single verse. It is not the resolution that
matters; it is resoluteness. Resolution is just a string of
words. In fact, that learning might even be a handicap as
that skill can affect the head and make one swell with
pride. The price of sugarcane is fixed according to the
sugar content in it. You evaluate oranges in proportion to
the juice they contain, is it not? So too, one is worthy of
honour in proportion to the knowledge of the Self acquired.
This knowledge alone can confer steadiness, strength and
real happiness.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
