Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord If there is righteousness in the heart There will be beauty in character; If there is beauty in character There will be harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. So, be righteous; avoid all prejudices against others on the basis of caste, creed, color, mode of worship, status or degree of affluence. Do not look down on any one; look upon all as Divine as you are. The great evil that undermines the units of this organization is pride and the jealousy that it engenders. When one person exudes the pride that he alone can sing Bhajans well among the group, naturally others develop anger, jealousy, hate, malice and such other deleterious traits. Love alone can root out the weed of pride from the heart. Love all, as so many forms of God, appearing in these various roles. A heart without Love is as dreary as a town without a temple. Spiritual pride is the most poisonous of all varieties of pride; it blinds and leads the person suffering from it into ruin. Beware of pride; be always aware that you are but instruments in My Divine Mission of Dharmasthaapana---Revival of Righteousness. Try to be more and more efficient as such instruments. The Hand that wields the Instrument knows how and when it has to be applied. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. X, Chapter 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
