Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Purify Yourself Jealousy often disturbs peace of mind. Are you jealous of somebody? Jealousy is a canker. It is incorrect to imagine that A has blocked your promotion in office or that B has ruined you by competing in the same business. Again and again remember: no one can make or mar your career. Your career and your life are shaped by your previous Karma. If you are destined to rise, not all the world can stop it. If you are not so destined, not all the world can help you to come up either. Each man is governed by his own destiny. Each man's life is independent, though seemingly interdependent with the lives of others. Remember this. Understand this point well. Never again be jealous of others or blame others for your misfortune. May be, you are fed up with your environment which disturbs your peace. Instead of trying to change the environment—the chances are you may fail—change yourself for the better. Purify yourself. As you do this, even the environment which has remained bad for you, may be for years, will mysteriously begin to dance and change for the better. The more you grow in purity, the more congenial and harmonious the environment will become. Do not ask. "How?". Try and experience. Try and experience. Put up with things. What cannot be cured has to be endured. Endure cheerfully. Learn to live with a hundred inconveniences, annoyances, irritations from morning till midnight. You will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will-power. You will turn disadvantage into an advantage. Baba Said.... "To keep My words, I would sacrifice My life, I would never be untrue to My words". Jai Sai Ram Swamy Mahadevan Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all Baba Bless you ever!!!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 om sai ram 'change yourself for the better. Purify yourself' -very true.we have to purify our thoughts first.-not to finger others purity."Almighty" does not has given us the power to judge others,their actions-see inside yourself first.we have no right to interfere and to give our comments of HIS creation.Let 'Almighty' do HIS work-HE is director of this game_plan-we are just the puppets-HE knows how to keep each puppet safe and happy. sai ram --- Swamy Mahadevan <mahadevanvnswamy > wrote: > > > Purify Yourself > > Jealousy often disturbs peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 SAI RAM, Some thoughts come to my mind on how to purify oneself. With the blessings of Swamy I want to share these with all members of the group. We allknow that unless the mind is pure it is not possible to realize the Self or Atman. Unless the mind is freed from all desires, cravings, lust, likes and dislikes, attachment, pride etc., it can not enter the domain of Supreme Peace and the Immortal Abode. Mind can be compared to a garden. How do we cultivate good flowers and fruits in the garden? By ploughing the land,by removing the weeds and thorns, by sowing good seeds,by manuring and by watering the plants and trees. So also we can cultivate the flower of devotion in the garden of our mind by removing the impurities of our mind such as lust,anger,greed, delusion, pride etc., and watering it with Divine thoughts. When the garden is clean, and when there are no weeds or thorns, we get good fruits. Let us cleanse the mind of its impurities. WE can then be successful in meditation and through meditation attain Self-realization. With Loving Sai Rams, G. Balasubramanian Messenger with Voice.
