Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord So long as breath resides, there is no death. So long as there is current flowing, the bulb illumines. When the current does not flow, there is no light. You attach importance to the coming and going of the light in the bulb, but you do not observe that the current is ever-flowing. When there is no light the connection is broken, that is all. The body is a bulb; when the current flows through it, the parts inside are activated and function effectively. The breath is the current; the breath is "I". Human life is based on inhaling (So) and exhaling (Ham). In respiration, this process of So-Ham is continually going on. In Sanskrit, Sah (So) means "He" and aham means "I". So-Ham demonstrates the truth, "I am He." Who is this "He"? It is God. You are the breath....So long as there is breath, you are Shivam, God; when that leaves, you become shavam, a corpse. So, treat the world as a two-day fair; treat life as a two-hour play; treat the body as a two-second bubble. Develop love and devotion to the highest ideal, God. Do not die in spirit, though the body may fall away. Know that the real "You" is deathless. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VII, P. 157. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VI, P. 226. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. V, P. 57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
