Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Welcome the tragedy and fight your way through with the armor of the Memory Divine. As all rivers hurry towards the sea, let all your imaginings wend their way to God. The Play is His; the role is His Gift; the lines are written by Him; He decides the dress and the decoration, the gesture and the tone, the entrance and the exit. You have to act well the part and receive His approbation, when the curtain falls. Earn by your efficiency and enthusiasm the right to play higher and higher roles -- that is the meaning and purpose of life. Do not get too much attached to the world, and too involved in its tangles. Keep your emotions always within hold. The waves agitate only the upper layers of the sea; down below it is calm. So too, when you sink into your depths, you must be free from the agitation of waves. Know most things are of no lasting value and can therefore be brushed aside; hold fast to the solid substance only. Use your discrimination to discover which things are lumber, and which are treasure. If by acting your role well you develop Love towards fellowactors, that is more important than getting devotion for God. If you acquire Peace, that is more valuable than acquiring spiritual wisdom. For Devotion is the seed of Love and Spiritual Wisdom is the seed of Peace. At least, devotees should behave as if they are all of one family. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. X, P. 83-84. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. I, P. 190. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
