Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Man can achieve Shanti (peace) only through Love. Shanti is the fruit of the tree of life without which the tree is but a barren stump; it has no value or validity. The fruit is encased in a bitter skin so that the sweet juice may be preserved and guarded against marauders. One has to remove the skin before tasting the sweetness within. The thick rind is symbolic of the six evil qualities that enshroud the loving heart of man: lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and hate. Those who can remove the rind and experience the sweetness within through rigorous and consistent discipline, attain everlasting peace that everyone aspires for.- Satya Sai Baba As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM TODAYwww..org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
