Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

Swami! How are we to believe all this is happening everyday in

Kodaikanal? Can we estimate our good luck that is responsible for the

golden opportunity of sitting at your lotus feet and listening to

five discourses a day? How are we to retain this privilege?

 

Sai Baba: As you rightly deserve, you get this opportunity. But you

need to note one important point. The Bhagavadgita says, ks in e pun

ye martyalokam vis'anti , which means that the merit accrued is

exhausted with the passage of time. You will have to return to the

earth even from the highest of heavens.

 

One example. You know that some of your representatives are elected

as legislators and some as members of the parliament. How long does

their term last? Only five years. Does it not? Their term is for five

years after which they have to go back to their constituencies. But

as legislators, parliamentarians and people's representatives, if

they frequently visit their constituencies, meet the electorate and

render service to the voters who elected them to those positions,

they can contest elections again and return to the assembly or

parliament as the case may be for another term. Similarly, while

enjoying the present golden opportunity you can still work for its

continuity by satkarma, doing good deeds, sadalo cana , entertaining

good thoughts and satsang, joining good company.
