Guest guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Devotion should not be confined to the four walls of the shrine-room, or the few minutes you perform meditation. It is full-time spiritual discipline. Your devotion has to be expressed as worship of every one, as a living embodiment of Divinity. See God in every one, even in persons whom you regard as your enemies. Practice that broad, inclusive type of Love. How can you derive happiness by showering love and reverence to a stone idol that does not respond or reflect the feelings? Living beings will return appreciation and gratitude and wish you well. You can see joy growing in their faces. That will confer satisfaction on you. If you cannot educate yourself to love your fellow man, how can you follow the path of dedication to God? Believe that God resides in all beings; speak such words as would spread goodness, truth and beauty; do such acts as would promote the happiness and prosperity of all; pray that all worlds have peace. Expand yourselves; do not contract into your own tiny individuality. Expand into Universal Love, unshaken equanimity, and ever-active virtue. That is the path which will bring out the Divinity in you to the fullest. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XII, P. 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
