too participated in the workshop. Sri Nimish Pandya and Dr.Pitre of Sathya sai

organization, Bombay, took part in this workshop. From Swami’s organization,

the privelge of participation was given to Dr. G.Venkatraman and to me. Swami

kindly gave a message for both the batches. I had the good fortune of listening

to Swami’s message for the second batch. I shall

outline a few points in the message. “Life is like a clock. Our days can be

compared to the second hand, months to the minute’s hand, and years to the hour

hand. Our life is very precious; we can earn money that is lost. If one’s wife

dies, one me remarry. If you loose a friend you can still make new friends.

But, once lost, life cannot be regained.

make good use our life. Wealth, gold, possessions, and vehicles are of no

importance. The mind can be compared to a daily newspaper. We consider today’s

newspaper very important. But the next day, we use it to pack some snack like

the pakodi. After two days its value is greatly diminished. The paper acquires

the smell of whatever is packed in it. If jasmine flowers are packed, it

acquires the fragrance of Jasmine. If dried fish are packed, it requires their

foul smell. In the same way, our hearts become

polluted by the bad thoughts we harbor. When a bad thought enters, do not

implement it immediately. You should take some time to consider it, the tongue

as an ideal. Even as the tongue coexists among sharp teeth, so should we learn

to lead a cautious life? If the tongue is not alert, our own teeth will bite

it. Still we never punish the teeth. Why? Because even as the tongue belongs to

us, our teeth too belong to us. We should cultivate a similar attitude of

forgiveness. Nobody else is responsible for our troubles. Our own thoughts are

the root cause of everything that happens to us. We will continue on this

subject in Swami’s words. (Sharing with Sai Love) Ram.Chugani Kobe
