Sai Baba Says:

10. On Dharma of Eyes:

(continuation………….)

A young

man should know how to conduct himself; how to achieve a good reputation; what

sort of vision he should have, how and to what he should listen and what words

he should use. All the three, the vision, the ears and the words should be kept

under control. Just because we have eyes does not mean that we should look

discriminately (see a distinction) at everything. This way you make your eyes

unsacred through sinful acts. What do you really obtain from sinful looks? You

look at a woman in a sinful way just for your mean satisfaction. But when you

do this you lose the very authority to look. You should look at what you are

supposed to. Why? Bhagawan considers it His duty to tell you what is happening

in the world today if, an elder brother of 25years is traveling with his sister

of 20years, the society thinks they are lovers because of their age and because

they are going out together. They both get a bad name. In keeping with the

ancient tradition of Bharat (India)

even brother and sister should not ever go together to the cinema, the beach or

for shopping. Their father or mother should accompany them. This was the

command in the ancient times. Through the brother and sister have good feelings

within, the world thinks bad of them. We should never give any scope for

actions, which will give us a bad name. The sister must go with the mother. A

mother or a sister must never go alone. The prestige of the family and respect

is important.

 

The modern youth have looks, you can say, like that of the crow,

which looks with each of its eye in isolation on the two sides. Why? The crow

has a long beak. One eye does not see what the other eye sees. This is natural

for the crow. But you should not have the nose of the crow. So you have to have

straight looks, an integrated vision, a good vision. Good looks beget (cause) a

good name. Your tongue should know how and when you should speak. The students

should know when to smile and when not to smile. At times they just look and

smile, but even a smile at an inappropriate occasion can put you into much

trouble.

 

Do not see bad in others

It will get into you!

See good, then feelings of goodness gets into you.

Avoid flashy (cheaply attractive) materials in books,

magazines and on the T.V.

 

INTEGRAL VISION is to see the total picture, not to see

like a crow that sees with each eye in isolation.

 

Sairam, with love...............
