Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Story of the week Saturday, November 1, 2003 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Ointment When the doctor said, apply this ointment at the place where the scorpion stung your son, the fond father asked the son, "Where did the scorpion sting?" The boy replied, "In that corner" and the father applied the ointment to that spot on the floor! How can the pain disappear? Take the lamp to the place where the darkness is. Joy and grief are not brought about by others, they are emanations from within you. So, cure yourself, do not try to put the blame on others and start plans to cure them. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Source: Discourse of Sathya Sai Baba, Mahaaraani's Women's College, Mysore, 12 September 1963 http://beaskund.helloyou.ws/askbaba/stories/s1044.html http://www.sathyasai.org/search/volume03/sss03-24.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
