Sai Baba Gita - You are not Mortal, you are Immortal

[Guest guest]

You are not Mortal, you are Immortal

The entire world is the creation of God and is penetrated by his will.

Everywhere there is God. Do not have bad thoughts about anyone. Have complete

control over your senses and think only good thoughts. Whether you are old or

young, you should permit only good thoughts to come into your mind and always

aspire to lead a good life. This is the real meaning of a human being. The word

for human in Sanskrit is nara, which stands for that which cannot be destroyed,

that which will always come back to the Lord. Nara is the one who will not be

ruined, who is immortal. The ancient scriptures have declared, 'You are not a

mortal being; you are the child of immortality.' A human being has also been

called manava. This refers the one who is without ignorance. But today you are

all behaving in a foolish way. By your thoughts, words and actions you are not

giving the proper value to the word human.

It has been said that death is sweeter than the blindness of ignorance. You have

to make ignorance flee away from you and never come back. If you want to drive

away darkness, you must bring in the light. Where there is light there can be

no darkness. If you want to free yourself from ignorance you must acquire

wisdom. When you have wisdom, ignorance can have no foothold on you and will be

swept away. To gain wisdom you must earn God's grace. A great poet sang, "O

Lord! If I have your grace, what is there to fear? What can destiny ever do to

me?"

Your life should not be ruled by lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride or

jealousy. These are your enemies. They must be conquered and subdued. They are

the darkness, the product of ignorance. Your life must be ruled by light and by

wisdom. Your life must be based entirely on the grace of God. From this moment

on, aspire for God's grace and gain wisdom. To earn God's grace, think of God,

everywhere, at all times and in all circumstances. In this age of darkness

there is no greater spiritual practice than this. Engage yourself in the

constant repetition of the sacred name of the Lord and keep him permanently

established in your heart of hearts. Thereby, you will bless your life and set

a sterling example for the rest of the world.
