Sai Baba Gita - Focus on the Divinity, Your True Self, and Do Your Duty

[Guest guest]

Focus on the Divinity, Your True Self, and Do Your Duty

After explaining the qualities of a wise man to Arjuna, Krishna directed him to

enter the battlefield and fight. Krishna told him, "Keep all your attention on

me. Concentrate on me alone. Obey all my commands and do your duty. This body

has been given to you for the purpose of discharging your duty. It is because

of your actions in the past that you have gotten this birth. Now, you must use

your actions to sanctify this life."

The only light in this world which does not get extinguished is the light of the

atma, the light of the immortal self. As long as there is electricity, the

electric bulbs will burn. The moment the power goes off, the bulbs do not

shine. Only as long as there are batteries in the flashlight, the flashlight

will function. In the same way, when the senses are not receiving any power,

they will cease to function. Even the sun and the moon, which do not need

either oil, batteries or electricity, will lose their effulgence in the end.

When the sun and the moon are likely to lose their light, what about you? When

this is true of these mighty mountains, then what about this small pebble that

is you, deluded as you are, with body-consciousness? Krishna told Arjuna,

"Because of the grief arising from your attachment to relatives and friends,

you are getting drowned in ignorance. You are being washed away by the tears

from your own eyes. Arise! Awake! Do not stop until the goal is reached!" Thus

Krishna rescued Arjuna and put him on the right path.
