Message For The Day….Any Resource is Useless Without Righteous Quality !!!

The Kauravas had all the instruments for victory – wealth, tonnes of arms, allies and fanatic hatred for their enemies. However they were destroyed, for they never paid heed to the nobler values of Righteousness. They did not equip themselves with the Grace of God, which is reserved in abundance for those who walk the path of humility and peace. Nor did they accept the Divine as their charioteer – they put their faith in lesser things! What is truly required for victory is not mere collection of resources but faith and steadiness. The gale helps to toughen the trunk of the tree. So too calamities must deepen your courage, enlarge your faith and intensify your spiritual practices. In fair weather, a care-free attitude is pardonable. But in inclement weather, every precaution is of great value.

 Prayer does not mean merely appealing to God for favour. Through prayer, you should try to control the evil qualities in you. – Baba

A Cute One !!!..”Did God Make You Grandpa ?” !!!!

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.  –Jules Renard, writer (1864-1910)  

A LITTLE GIRL ran to her Grandpa, jumped  in to his arms and gave him a great big hug.  Then she ran her finfers along his balding head and doen the side of his wrinkled  face.

“Did GOD make you grandpa ” ?…she asked..

“Yes honey…HE made me “..

She felt her own cheek and then asked  “Did GOD make me too ?! ”

“YES   dear , HE made you too”…..

” WELL”… She shrugged…..” dont  you think the GOD is doing a much better job now,  than He used to ” !!!!?????

Mahaperiavar”s Sense of Humour !!!

Once, an overweight lady came for Mahaperiava’s Dharsan. She was not able to do ‘Namaskaaram’ to Periava. With mixed feelings of Bhakthi and Embarrassment, she just stood there with folded hands.

“I am a diabetic. Doctor has told me that I should reduce myweight and for that I should walk for one hour daily. But, I am not able to walk even for ten minutes.” —she complained to Him. Then she continued, “ Periava should tell me an easier way”.

“ All these doctors are same. They will only repeat what is written inmedical books, but will never look from the practical point of view…”

The lady brightened up expecting that Periava was going to tell her an easy way!. Her eyes showed a lot of expectation.

“ If one wants to be healthy without any disease , one requires Bagavaan’s compassion….”

The lady’s heart started beating fast.

“ Is there a temple near your house?”

“Yes Periava! A big Shiva temple.”

“Good! Do six ‘pradhakshina’s daily in the morning and evening. And clean the temple with broomstick for 100 feet daily..”

The lady was very happy and returned home with Prasaadham!

A disciple who was assisting Periava, was struggling to control his laugh!

“ Did I tell her wrongly..?” asked Periava!

“ No Periava! The doctor prescribed ‘ walking’ , and Periava prescribed ‘Pradhakshinam’……”—answered the disciple!

‘Oh! Do you mean that the medicine prescribed by both of us is ‘Adhvaitha’ and the names are ‘Dhvaitha’ ..?”

That is a sample of Periava’s subtle humour!

Message For The Day….Dont Ignore Traffic Signals In Life !!!!

The system of education, which promotes an attitude of contempt towards learning that does not yield monetary benefits, is largely responsible for the neglect of great scriptures and saints. Another cause is the general decline in the moral standards of living. When all are sliding down the easy path of flippancy, those who advise against it and warn about the inevitable disaster are ignored and laughed at. Sunk in the search of pleasures and cheap recreation, people become deaf to the counsels of the ancient and calls of the sublime. Scriptures are like traffic signals in a busy junction. If the signals are removed, the journey is rendered slow and difficult, filled with accidents and chaos. We cannot afford to destroy them. We have to restore them for the well-being of humanity.   

There is no nobler quality in the world than love. It is wisdom. It is righteousness. It is wealth.   Sathya Sai Baba
It is Truth. – Baba

Message For The Day…..Keep Pace With Time For Sadhana !!!!

Life is short, time is fleeing: your spiritual practice (sadhana) is creeping at tortoise pace. When will you decide to proceed a little faster? Your sadhana is like the answers you write at the examination. If you get only five or six marks, the examiner will strike out even that, saying, “What is the use of these few marks: it will take this student neither here nor there.” If you get somewhere near the passing marks, then Grace will give you just a little more so that you may pass, provided you have been a diligent and well-behaved student. Engage yourselves in good deeds, good company and good thoughts. Fix your attention on the goal.

 Spiritual Sadhana means cultivating good thoughts and undertaking good deeds. – Baba

Message For The Day…..Deposit Your Devotion To God & Draw The Grace Of God !!!

Unless you deposit an amount in the Bank, how will the Bank honour a cheque you issue? So too, ask yourself: ‘Have I deposited enough devotion to the Lord, service to my fellow-beings and faith in my spiritual practices?’ If you do, then you will most certainly draw the Grace of the Lord. Always remember and be sure that you will get as much Grace, in proportion to your perseverance to attain the Lord. The Supreme Divine has and will yield many benefits to you, that you cannot deny. I bless you that you may grow more and more in devotion to the Lord, in whatever Name and Form you choose and I wish you earn the Lord’s Grace to a very large extent.

 The one who realizes his identity with the Divine will not cause harm or hurt to anyone. – Baba

Message For The Day…Take Care of Your Health !!!

Pay attention to your physical health. Satisfy the demands of Nature. Otherwise your head would reel and your eyes might get blurred through exhaustion. The car must be given the fuel it needs, is it not? Maintain your body well as an instrument for a higher purpose. How can the thoughts of the Lord be stabilized in a weak frame? A road roller is fed with oil, coal and other types of fuel. But why is it fed and well-maintained? In order to lay and mend the road, is it not? So too be careful not to forget the purpose of this body, even as you tend to it. Never forget that you have been gifted this body, so you might realize the Lord and end the cycle of birth and death.
