Spiritual Blossoms - 12

Sri Sathya
Sai Baba Says:
10. On Dharma of Eyes:
(continuation………….)
A young
man should know how to conduct himself; how to achieve a good reputation; what
sort of vision he should have, how and to what he should listen and what words
he should use. All the three, the vision, the ears and the words should be kept
under control. Just because we have eyes does not mean that we should look
discriminately (see a distinction) at everything. This way you make your eyes
unsacred through sinful acts. What do you really obtain from sinful looks? You
look at a woman in a sinful way just for your mean satisfaction. But when you
do this you lose the very authority to look. You should look at what you are
supposed to. Why? Bhagawan considers it His duty to tell you what is happening
in the world today if, an elder brother of 25years is traveling with his sister
of 20years, the society thinks they are lovers because of their age and because
they are going out together. They both get a bad name. In keeping with the
ancient tradition of Bharat (India)
even brother and sister should not ever go together to the cinema, the beach or
for shopping. Their father or mother should accompany them. This was the
command in the ancient times. Through the brother and sister have good feelings
within, the world thinks bad of them. We should never give any scope for
actions, which will give us a bad name. The sister must go with the mother. A
mother or a sister must never go alone. The prestige of the family and respect
is important.


The modern youth have looks, you can say, like that of the crow,
which looks with each of its eye in isolation on the two sides. Why? The crow
has a long beak. One eye does not see what the other eye sees. This is natural
for the crow. But you should not have the nose of the crow. So you have to have
straight looks, an integrated vision, a good vision. Good looks beget (cause) a
good name. Your tongue should know how and when you should speak. The students
should know when to smile and when not to smile. At times they just look and
smile, but even a smile at an inappropriate occasion can put you into much
trouble.

Do not see bad in others
It will get into you!
See good, then feelings of goodness gets into you.
Avoid flashy (cheaply attractive) materials in books,
magazines and on the T.V.

INTEGRAL VISION is to see the total picture, not to see
like a crow that sees with each eye in isolation.


Sairam, with love...............
