Many
clamour for the experience of spiritual bliss, but, few earn
it, because they find themselves too weak to reject the
clamour of the senses! Practice assiduously the larger
programme of controlling the senses. A little enquiry will
reveal that the senses are bad masters and very inefficient
sources of knowledge; the joy they bring is transitory and
fraught with grief. So long as one is dominated by sense
pleasure, it cannot be said that his spiritual life has
begun. For, the senses rush towards the temporary and the
tawdry; thus, they foul the heart. God asks from each of
you no other gift, no more valuable offering than the heart
He has endowed you with. Give God that heart, as pure as
when He gave it to you, full of the nectar of love He
filled it with. Your devotion to God is best expressed by
achieving the control of the senses.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
