Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord When people do not place faith in the Self but pursue senses only, the danger signal is up and the Lord sends a Messenger or comes Himself, if a great big step in reconstruction has to be taken. Arjuna forgot the basis of Self. Ravana went counter to it. The world is building itself up on the sandy foundation of the sensory world. So, Avatars have to come. 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, man too is suffering today, since he is unwilling to release his hold on the handful of pleasurable things he has grasped from the world. Man is led into the wrong belief that the accumulation of material possessions will endow him with joy and calm. But Divine Love (Prema) alone can give that everlasting joy. Prema alone will remove anger and envy and hatred. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. IV, Chapter 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
