Sai Baba Gita - Free Yourself from all Bondage

[Guest guest]

Free Yourself from all Bondage

If an individual is bound by a golden chain, will he be happy in that situation?

No! Bondage remains bondage, be it from a chain made of gold or one made of

copper or iron. So, even a pure, calm nature causes bondage, and in the end you

have to get rid of this also. You must free yourself from all bondage. But until

you reach divinity you need the pure, calm, harmonious quality. Once you merge

in the Lord, there are no more distinguishing qualities of any kind. In that

state the question of the three qualities does not arise at all. When you have

offered up everything and become one with the Lord you rise above these

attributes and become totally free of all chains.

The Gita has taught that in order to control the mind, constant practice and

renunciation, are essential. Practice does not refer to just the observance of

daily religious rituals. Practice means using the body, using the tongue and

using the mind in such a way that you do not develop attachment. Practice means

orienting your whole life towards the one goal of reaching the divinity. Every

word you utter, every thought you think and every deed you perform should be

pure and associated with truth. This is the essence of all austerities. Truth

and purity are the real instruments for success on the spiritual path. My wish

is that you develop these noble qualities and thereby sanctify your life.
