Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 NEVER ALLOW DIRT TO ACCUMULATE Baba said, “Catharsis from (Purging away of) sins. Unless a man has turned away from wickedness, and stopped from doing wrong, and has entirely composed himself and unless his mind is at rest, he cannot gain self-realization, even by means of knowledge” in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XVI & XVII. An old man, who lived all alone in his house, complained to his neighbour woman that his eyesight had grown weak and that, as he looked out from his window, he could not see the beauty of the outside world. The woman found that the window panes were covered with dist and dirt. She cleansed them with soap and water. The old man was delighted to find that he could see as clearly as ever. “It was not that your eyesight had grown dim,” the woman said to him; “you allowed your windows to get dirty.” May we never allow the windows of our soul to get dirty – we shall never lose sight of God and we shall kindle little lights of love and service, wherever we go. TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA…. In all conditions and circumstances, in all incidents and accidents of life, lift up your heart and pray: Thank you God! Thank you God!
