Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord It was the ego that caused all the worry so long. How does this egotism get into our system? Is it a weed that grows in us and is cultivated by us until it destroys us roots and branch? Where was this ego in the beginning? Where were we before we were born? Where will we be after we die? All our inferences are but products of the period between birth and death. When the girl you married was seriously ill as a child, you did not worry for she had not become "yours." We ourselves develop this attachment as a cohesive and stabilizing factor in life. But we then allow it to grow into huge dimensions till it hinders our spiritual progress. Cultivate love, not delusion. Love your wife and children and do your duty towards them as a husband and a father. But always hold on to the true values. Do not lose your sense of proportion. ...Remember always that wife, son, mother---all kinship is basically only physical, body-bound, time-limited. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 84-85.
