Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 OM SRI SATHYA SAI GANESHAAYA NAMAHA! Sairam to Sai Family ! DIVINE DISCOURSE: AUGUST 28,2004 Embodiments of Love! (A) Mind is the veil of Maya (illusion) that stands as an obstacle in your path to spirituality. You should not become a slave of the mind; you should conquer the mind. Only then can you attain Divinity. But you are carried away by the vagaries of the mind which is nothing but Maya. You should ignore the dictates of the mind. We consider the mind to be the most important aspect of humankind. However, it can lead you to dangers and difficulties if you are carried away by its whims and fancies. Hence, do not submit yourself to the mind. (B) One who has control over the mind is a true Manishi (human). One who lacks control over the mind is no human at all. How can you call yourself a human being if you are fickle-minded and depressed over trivial problems? You should make efforts to overcome problems posed by the mind without being unduly worried about them. In this world, there is nothing greater than God's love. Hence, we should transcend the mind that stands as an obstacle in the Godward path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
