Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 DIVINE DISCOURSE: OCTOBER 13, 2002 OM SRI SATHYA SAI GANESHAAYA NAMAHA! Sairam to Sai Family ! Embodiments of Love ! (A) The process of refinement lies in accepting that which is good and rejecting all that is bad. Consider our breathing process for example. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Wherever a marriage function is held, people gather in large numbers, and hence more carbon dioxide is released polluting the atmosphere. Green leaves absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. That is why our ancients used to decorate the venue of marriage with buntings of fresh mango leaves and plantain leaves.\ (B) Unfortunately, people have forgotten the inner significance of such sacred tradition. They decorate their houses with buntings of plastic leaves because they are long lasting and easy to procure. In the name of modernism, they are spoiling their health. They do not understand the sanctity of food. They adopt modern methods to prepare food and in the process waste a lot of money. Modernism has made them lazy. They are prepared to pay a rupee to a coolie to carry vegetables purchased for half a rupee. Such is the sorry state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
