Message for the Day…

All of you have vast resources of powers. When you do not utilise them while discharging duties to yourself and to the society that sustains you, you are only becoming a target for ridicule. When you are on a railway station platform, waiting for the train that is due and you hear the announcement that it will arrive five hours later, how do you feel? Don’t you fling abusive words at the train? When the mere coaches receive from you such a treatment, how much worse treatment would you deserve if you do not fulfill your duty and your responsibilities to the society? Utilise your skills and learning as consistently and effectively as duty demands. Unless used, even a watch gets rusted, what can be said therefore of unused skill? The body has not been granted by God to be fed, well clothed and to be paraded around in pride. The body has to be exercised to keep it trim as a tool for serving others.

Message for the Day…

Seeing a glass half filled with water, the optimist is glad that the glass is half-full, while the pessimist is sad that it is half-empty. Though both the statements are correct the optimist hopes to fill the other half too, while the pessimist gives up in despair. The optimist has faith, the pessimist has no faith to sustain him – this is the key difference. Faith is power. Develop faith by steady effort. You all have faith in tomorrow following today and hence you take up activities and projects, that extend beyond this day! People with no faith cannot plan, they court misery due to their lack of faith! Faith must lead to effort. Through knowledge, faith and effort, wisdom can be attained. Equipped with these, you can scale great heights and emerge victoriously. Do not cultivate too much faith in things that are merely material. Develop deep faith in the eternally valid Truth – God!

Message for the Day…

Develop the quality of ‘Kshama’ (forbearance and forgiveness) and refrain from harshness in speech at all times. Sai is the best example of this. Many people have indulged in calumny and criticism, but I remain totally unaffected and adhere firmly to what I deem as good. You too must realize that if you give up forbearance and forgiveness, you will have no peace. I am always at peace, because, I am always patient. You must also remain likewise. Whatever anyone may do to you, do not bother about it. What is it that you lose on account of their behavior? You have no idea of your own strength or weaknesses. If you resort to retaliation, you will only worsen your own condition. So bravely face such attacks and do not allow yourself to get agitated over them. You must win others by your forbearance. Make forbearance your life-breath and your ideal.

Message for the Day…

All of you have five advisors in your life. They are: “Who, When, Where, What and How”. Before undertaking any action, you must get answers for these five questions. When you get the correct answers for these, the actions based on them, will naturally be right conduct. Unfortunately, most people today act without any concern for these factors. All of you must exercise your own judgement using your powers of observation and discretion, using all the God-gifted instruments to you through the form of organs of perception and action. In every limb of yours, there is divine potency. That divine potency is called ‘Angirasa’. This name is derived from the fact that God is present in every limb (Anga) as an essence (Rasa). Hence, there is no need to search for God outside yourself. You are Divine. All your powers are your divine potencies.

Message for the Day…

Though the source of peace and bliss is within, people seek them in the external, like one pursuing a mirage. Owing to restless activity, endless worry and limitless desires, peace of mind is lost and it has become prey to discontent and misery. At the outset, peace has to be cultivated within ourselves. And then that peace has to be extended to the family. From the home it should be spread to our village. Thus, peace should begin with the individual and spread to the whole society. In the Sai organisation, efforts are made to propagate the values of Truth, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Nonviolence. This is only propagation, but not practice (or demonstration). Mere preaching is of no avail. Of all the virtues, love is the foremost. If love is fostered, all other qualities flow from it. Our degradation is the result of forgetting God. When we remember God, our life will be filled with peace and happiness.
