Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Source: Radio Sai web site Nature is a great preacher of spiritual truths. Consider, for instance, a tree. It puts up with heat and rain, summer and winter, and all the harm inflicted on it. It offers shade and fruits to whoever approaches it. It has no feelings of hatred or vengeance towards those who cause injuries to it. It seeks no return from those who benefit from it. Everyone should learn this lesson in selfless service and forbearance from the tree. Consider, next, the bird. The lesson it teaches is self-reliance. A bird perched on the twig of a tree is not affected by the wild swaying of the twig or the storm which might blow it off because it relies not on the twig or tree but on its own wings for its safety. It knows it can always fly away and save itself. The bird is always happy and carefree, sporting as it pleases. Birds are not concerned about acquiring things for the morrow. They are content to make the best of the present, living on whatever they can get for the day.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today24th September 2005 Tired of spam?
