Sai Baba Gita - Limit Desires, Be ever Content and you will be Dear to God

[Guest guest]

XXIII. Limit Desires, Be ever Content and you will be Dear to God

Whatever is born passes through six stages of life, namely, birth, growth,

maturity, decline, degeneration and death. But, what is never born, never dies.

For it these stages do not apply.

 

Embodiments of Love,

The second chapter of the Gita relates to the path of wisdom. The principle that

underlies the wisdom teachings is that whatever is born must die, but what was

never born, can never die. What is never born and will never die? The atma.

Atma has neither birth nor death. It never undergoes any kind of modifications.

Atma is permanent. It is immutable. It is everlasting. It is attributeless. It

is your own true nature. The body is born and the body experiences the various

phases of life and dies, but the indweller of the body remains unaffected by

all these bodily changes. This indweller is the atma. It is free of illusion,

devoid of maya. Once you understand this divine principle you will recognize it

as the only thing of true value, the only thing worth knowing. Everything else

is ephemeral and impermanent. You must make every effort to acquire the

knowledge of atma and thereby gain lasting joy.
