Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Note down all the things for which you have cried so far. You will find that you have craved only for paltry things, for momentary distinctions, for fleeting fame. You should cry only for God, for your own cleansing and consummation. You should weep, wailing for the six cobras (lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and malice) that have sheltered themselves in your mind, poisoning it with its venom. Quieten them as the snake charmer does with his swaying flute. The music that can tame them is the singing aloud of the Name of God. And when they are too intoxicated to move and harm, catch them by the neck and pull out their fangs as the charmer does. Thereafter, they can be your playthings; you can handle them as you please. When these are laid low, you will gain equanimity. You will be unaffected by honor or dishonor, profit or loss, joy or grief. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VIII, P. 55-56.
