Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord You might ask Me to speak about My own mystery. It is not easy to understand it. When you have the chance, gather all the joy you can. There is no use bolting the door after the thieves have robbed and fled. Seize the chance and do not repent later that you have missed the opportunity. Remember, you have to come to Me, if not in this birth, at least within ten more births ! Strive to acquire Grace. Grace is the reward for spiritual practice. The highest spiritual discipline is to follow the instructions of the Master. Years of rigorous training make the soldier who can stand all the rigors of warfare. The heroic fighter is not made in a day. So too, the practicing spiritual aspirant who can win victories is not made in a day. Restrictions and regulations, drills and techniques have been laid down for him also. Follow them sincerely and steadily and victory is yours. Man does not realize that the end of this cycle of birth and death is in his own hands. The tree came from the seed and the seed from the tree, and so on, from the beginning of time. Yes; you may not know which came first, tree or seed, but, you can easily put an end to the cycle by frying the seed. It won't sprout again. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. IV, P. 28-29.
