Sai Inspires - 14th July 2008

When people do not place faith in the Self but pursue the senses only, the danger signal is up...The world is building itself up on the sandy foundation of the sensory world...Like the monkey which could not pull its hand from out of the narrow-necked pot, because it first held in its grasp a handful of doughnuts which the pot contained, people too are suffering today, since they are unwilling to release their hold on the handful of pleasurable things they have grasped from the world. They are led into the wrong belief that the accumulation of material possessions will endow them with joy and calm. But Divine Love (Prema) alone can give that everlasting joy. Prema alone will remove anger, envy and hatred... You must realise the

Omnipresence of God, and the Oneness of Humanity. You must learn tolerance and patience,

charity and service.

- Divine Discourse, February 28, 1964.

The God-centred person has three qualities: Purity, Perseverance and Patience. - Baba
