Sai Inspires - 10th April 2008

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The body is just an instrument. We eat to sustain the body. We need food for the protection of the body and clothes for protection from cold and heat. The body is a source of all diseases arising out of thrishna (desire). Desire gives rise to Raaga and Dhvesha (attachment and hatred). There is nothing wrong in having desires for food, shelter and clothing. It is excessive desire that causes attachment and disappointment. Desire should be within limits. It should not become a hidden sickness. The desire to hoard is not there in birds and beasts...Man loses his human quality because of greed and selfishness.

- Divine Discourse, May 20, 1993.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By constant contemplation on God the mind should be turned away from mundane desires. - Baba
