Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord To be born as a human being is a great piece of luck. For, man alone can attain the status of the Divine, by recognizing the reality of his being. No beast or bird can reach that height of realization. But, it is tragic that instead of valuing the chance and utilizing it, man fritters his years here and dies, without seeing the light. He is disgracing himself and denying his destiny. A minute's reflection will reveal how far he is from the goal, the precious stage of self-realization. Man is neither a picture, nor a sculpture, which are both lifeless and have no aspiration of their own. He has activity, attainment, a hunger for expansion, for immortality. But, what a pity, he does not dedicate his life to the Divine, he is caught up in the vain pursuit of comfort and cozy living. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. VI, Chapter 16.
