Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Recognizing the immanence of the Divine, one has to dedicate all acts to the Divine. What is the act, when you analyze it deeply? It is the manipulation of the Divine by the Divine, for the sake of the Divine, through the skill endowed by the Divine; there is no I or mine in it, except the Universal I and the Divine My. Dedication is to be carried out in various ways. Take the food that we consume. Offer it to God, before you partake of it. Then it is rendered pure and potent. Any act done for the glorification of God is thereby rendered pure and potent. It is incapable of harming the doer, the beneficiary, or society, for, it is saturated with Love, which is God. God is the director of this puppet show, the manipulator of the strings. Go behind the screen and see Him. It is now hiding Him; you have only to peep behind a flower, peer behind a cloud, to see Him pulling the string, to show us the beauty, to show us the darkness of heavy moisture. So also, you have only to peep behind your thoughts, to peer behind your feelings; you will find there the Inner Motivator! This process of looking inwards is taught in the Yogashaastra (science of yoga) of India. But, you must approach teachers, who are pure and selfless, not, those who make up for their ignorance by stunts and feats. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. IX, Chapter 23.
