Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord You know that there is a rule here that you should come with empty hands, without even the traditional offerings of pathram, pushpam, phalam, thoyam (leaf, flower, fruit and water). Come with clean hands, hands that supplicate, not supply; hands that proclaim that they have renounced attachment to riches; then, I fill them with Grace. I must say that I accept certain things before giving you that Grace: I demand and take sathya, dharma, shaanthi and prema. I seek the gifts of truth, virtue, peace and love. I draw you to Me and then re-form and re-shape you. I am a kind of smith who repairs broken, leaky damaged hardware. I repair broken hearts and fragile minds, warped intellects, feeble resolutions and fading faith. Do not be under the impression that all these people come to Me seeking worldly favors or blessings for worldly advancement or fortunes. At least ninety among a hundred of them ask from Me spiritual guidance only. They do not ask for worldly boons at all. They are eager to be directed along the path of japam, dhyaanam, naamasmarana or some such saadhana. They are full of prema for the Divine Principle and the Divine is full of prema towards them. It is a question of Prema responding to prema; Prema which is saturated with sathya, as Vivekaananda was saturated with viveka. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. V, Chapter 43.
