All
that I can tell you about the spiritual disciplines have
been told often before; the human capacity, nature, and
talents are all ancient possessions and so the advice
regarding how to use them is also ancient. The only new
thing is the directions in which these talents are wasted,
and the way one is playing false to one’s own nature.
Man is essentially an animal, endowed with viveka
(Discrimination). That is why one is not content with the
satisfaction of mere animal needs. One feels some void,
some deep discontent and some unslaked thirst, for man is a
child of Immortality and so feels that death is not and
should not be the end. This viveka urges man to
discover answers to the problems that haunt him:
"Where did I come from, whither am I journeying, which
is the journey's end?" To find answers to these
questions, the intellect (buddhi) has to be kept
sharp and clear.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
