Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord This year you have named My birthday the 'Golden Jubilee' of the Avathaar (divine incarnation), and gathered in vast numbers from all parts of the world. I am sure you have benefited by the Sathsang (holy company). I do not accost one particular date in the calendar as My birthday, for I consider the day when Divinity blossoms in your heart as My birth-day in you. Therefore each of you should individually celebrate such a day as My birthday. The day when you resolve to practice My advice, to follow My directives, to translate My message into acts of service, and to engage in saadhana---that day is My birthday for you. The 23rd day of November which you now honor as the day on which I was born, is only like any other day if you celebrate it in a routine, ritual fashion. Adore man; the adoration reaches Me. Neglect man; you neglect Me. Of what avail is it to worship the Lord and to suppress man, His counterpart? Love for God must be manifested as Love for man, and Love must express itself as Service. Through Love alone---Love acquired through saadhana, and shared with all as saadhana---can peace be attained, by the individual as well as by the nation. My Life is My Message and My Message is Love. That explains why you have gathered hither in hundreds and thousands. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XIII, Chapter 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
