Men

are eager to get happiness and when there is a prospect of earning

undiminishable happiness, they jump at the idea; but they are soon

tired of the effort. They seek shortcuts, lean on others to carry their

weight, and aspire for much fruit in return for little cultivation. But

rigorous discipline and steady faith are absolutely necessary for

success in the spiritual struggle. Mere listening to discourses or even

delivering discourses will not be of any use. To have that discipline,

one has to control the senses which drag the mind towards the

pleasurable attractions of the external world; to have the steady

faith, one must control the wayward mind, that paints attractive

pictures in false colors to lure you on from birth to birth.

 

(Sathya Sai Speaks Vol V – Chap 36)Life

is a campaign against foes, it is a battle with obstacles, temptations,

hardships, hesitations. These foes are within man and so, the battle

has to be incessant and perpetual. Like the virus that thrives on the

bloodstream, the vices of lust, greed, hate, malice, pride and envy sap

the energy and faith of man and reduce him to untimely fall.

(Sathya Sai Speaks Vol VI – Chap 7)The first lesson in Seva has to be

learned in the family circle itself. In this limited group, which is

well-knit, one must engage in loving service and prepare for the wider

Seva that awaits outside the home(Sanathana Sarathi Vol 48 - pg 383)Any mighty task can be accomplished by

prayer. Hence, pray to God silently. Do not pray for the fulfillment of

your petty desires. Give up all desires and pray to God wholeheartedly

with love. You will certainly find fulfillment in life. You can

understand and experience divinity only through love. Nothing can be

achieved without love. Love makes all your tasks successful.(Sanathana Sarathi Vol 48 - pg 2) For inspiring divine messages, texts, movies, videos, etc.,Visit : Sai Messages : http://saimessages.blogspot.com/ Sai Divine Inspirations : http://saidivineinspirations.blogspot.com/ Love Is My Form : http://loveismyform.blogspot.com/ (for non-Sai members)
