ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE

 

Baba said, “We should mean well and do well” in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XXII.

 

Psychologists have always told us that attitudes can influence results. Two

scientists decided to conduct an experiment to find out if attitudes could

affect seeds.

 

Two identical cans were taken. Into each was poured soil and fertilizer of the

same quality and quantity, and 23 seeds were dropped into each can. They were

both placed in a greenhouse so that they could have the same condition of

weather and temperature.

 

There was only one variable in the experiment, all other things being the same.

Everyday, the two scientists came to the greenhouse, and standing before the

first can, poured into it all the negativism of which they were capable.

 

They said to the seeds, “You are good for nothing. Nothing is ever going to come

out of you, and even if something comes out, it is not going to last,” and so on

and so forth.

 

Then they came out and stood in front of the second can and poured into it all

the positivism of which they were capable.

 

“You are wonderful,” they said to the seeds, “and you are going to show

wonderful results. It will be a sight to see what is coming out of you,” and so

on and so forth.

 

This was repeated thrice a day for three weeks.

 

At the end of the three weeks, the scientists found that while there came forth

only two or three shoots of grass out of the first can, out of the second can,

there came forth whole strands of grass, so strong that they could clutch it

and lift up the entire can with its soil and fertilizer. If this is what

attitude can do to seeds what can it not do to human beings?

 

Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya….

 

Within the heart

Is enshrined

The Secret of Nama –

The Name Divine.

 

The way to unlock the Secret

Is the way of Love

 

Teach me, O Lord,

To love Thee,

Not myself!

 

So bless me that forsaking myself,

I may think of Thy Lotus Feet,

By day and by night!!
