Sai Baba Gita - Turn towards God and God will turn towards You

[Guest guest]

XXIX. Turn towards God and God will turn towards You

When you develop your power of discrimination and become fully awake to the

indwelling divinity, you will not suffer sorrow nor be subjected to fear. But

as long as you have attachment to the body and attachment to objects, fear and

suffering will be with you. Therefore, Krishna told Arjuna to develop his

discrimination and rid himself of body consciousness. He told him that once he

was free of body consciousness he would be able to develop integral vision.

 

Embodiments of Love,

Mankind today has three types of vision. The first is body oriented vision,

which is totally superficial. When you have this kind of vision you see only

the external appearance of others, such as the clothes and the ornaments they

wear, their facial features, their body characteristics, their peculiarities of

speech, etc. This type of vision is oriented only towards the phenomenal world.

The second kind of vision is insightful vision. Instead of focusing on the

external characteristics of others, you focus on their inner feelings,

particularly as it is reflected in their behavior and expressions. You gauge

the thoughts in another's mind and the feelings in their hearts by carefully

watching what they say and do. When you have this kind of vision, you become

concerned primarily with the deeper feelings and motivations of the other

person.
