Message For The Day…God Appears only Where Sincerity , Faith & Surrender are Valued …

NatarajanLeave a comment

No manifestation of the Lord needs any publicity. What do you know about God? Is your faith unshakable? You praise Him when things go well, and blame when things go wrong. Even before your devotion ripens, you strive to lead others, and plan for subscriptions and associations; all this is mere show which brings more spiritual loss than gain. When you start publicity you descend to the level of those who compete in collecting clientele, decrying others and extolling themselves. Remember, where money is calculated, garnered and exhibited to demonstrate one’s achievements, God will not be present. God comes only where sincerity, faith and surrender are valued. Sing with yearning for Him. Hours of shouting do not count; a moment of concentrated prayer from the heart is enough to melt and move God.

Message For The Day….Remain Attached to One Name and Form That is Dear to You …

NatarajanLeave a comment

You must dive deep into the sea to get the pearls. What good is it to dabble among the waves near the shore and swear that the sea has no pearls in it and all tales of its existence are false? So too, if you are determined to get the full benefit from the Sathya Sai Avatar (or any form of the Divine), dive deep and get immersed in full. Half-heartedness, hesitation, doubt, cynicism, listening to tales, etc. is of no avail. Concentrated complete faith alone can bring victory. This is true of any worldly activity, is it not? How much more true must it be in the spiritual field? A hundred people might come to your house and even treat you with affection, but you do not address them as, “Papa or Daddy!” So too, remain attached to the one Name and Form that is dear to you. Have your mind fixed on that form at all times.

Message For The Day…Never Entertain Hatred or Contempt In Your Heart …

NatarajanLeave a comment

You take drugs in a vain attempt to escape from the grip of diseases. But you are unaware of the diseases that eat into the very vitals of your happiness and make you a social danger – the maladies of envy, malice, hatred and greed. Take this best medicine to rid yourself of these diseases! Believe that the Lord is living in every heart and so when you inflict pain, physical or mental, on anyone, you are slighting the Lord Himself. Never entertain hatred or contempt in your heart. Show your resentment, if you must, through carefully selected words but never through action. Introspect and repent for your own errors and pray for strength to refrain from your shortcomings.

Message For The Day…When God Takes Human Form…

NatarajanLeave a comment

It is to clear the path of spiritual progress of mankind that the Lord incarnates from time to time. The restlessness (ashanthi) in which man is immersed has to be curbed. That is what is meant by, the declaration parithraanaaya saadhoonam – ‘the saving of the good’; the saving of individual beings from the tentacles of restlessness caused by want of knowledge, of the relative unimportance of worldly things. All beings must get peace and true happiness; that is the mission on which the Lord comes again and again on this earth. He selects a place full of holiness and takes on the human form, so that you may meet and talk to Him, understand and appreciate, listen and follow, experience and benefit.

Message For The Day….Don”t Ever Ignore the Divinity …

NatarajanLeave a comment

We must have the awareness of the relative value of things; the discrimination between the real and relatively real. The gifts of reason and conscience must not be wasted through neglect. Your story should not be a repetition of that of the woodcutter, who was given a huge sandalwood forest as a reward, but, who out of sheer ignorance of the value of the trees, burnt the trees and sold them as charcoal at so much per bag! You ignore the Divinity that you really are and waste the opportunity to unfold it. Ignorance (ajnana) is imported from outside; what is native to you, what is within is wisdom (Jnana).

Message For The Day….Real Peace is In your Mind…

NatarajanLeave a comment

People seek frantically for peace and happiness in a thousand ways along a thousand roads. Real peace is to be got only in the depths of the spirit, in the discipline of the mind, in faith in the One base of all this seeming multiplicity. And the joy of that experience, the profound exhilaration which accompanies it cannot be communicated in words. All shravanam and kirthanam (hearing and singing God’s names) is to take you nearer that experience. Shravanam is the medicine that you take internally and kirthanam is the balm you apply externally. Both are needed. Develop devotion to the Lord using as many means as possible. Your mind and the intellect must be trained and controlled, that is the sole aim.

Message For The Day…All is HIS and Nothing is Ours ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Every one of you has in possession a ticket for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. But most do not know the train that has to be boarded; many get down at intermediate stations, imagining them to be the terminus and wander helplessly in the wilderness, or are carried away by sights and scenes. Until the wound heals, and the new skin is formed and hardens, the bandage is essential. So too, until Reality is realized, the balm of faith, holy company and holy thoughts must be applied to the ego-affected mind. It is dedication to the Lord that sanctifies all activities. He is the Prompter, the Executor, the Giver of the required strength and skill, and the Enjoyer of the fruit thereof. So dedication must come naturally to you, for all is His, and nothing is yours. Your duty is to believe that He is the impeller of your activities and draw strength from that belief.

Message For The Day…Be Alert and Aware… Live in This World and Discover The Director , The GOD..

NatarajanLeave a comment

The jeevi (individual soul) has come to this birth in order to reveal the splendour of the spark of Godhead which It is. A rat is attracted by strong smelling cheap little stuff inside the trap; it neglects all other articles of food in the granary, and thus falls a prey to its own foolishness. Similarly people disregard and waste their life in the pursuit of mortal riches. Be aware and alert. Live in the world but develop the skills to wonder and discriminate between the eternal and temporary. Learn to see through this drama and discover the Director behind the scenes, who is none else than God. You can easily develop these skills through devotion (Bhakthi), based on performing duty without any expectation of results (Nishkama Karma).

Message For The Day….Give Up Ego and Develop Faith In God …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Repentance saves even sinners from perdition. No ceremony of expiation is as effective as sincere repentance. The shopkeeper may give short measure at times, but he will never accept less money; the bill always has to be settled in full. Pay it through repentance. You cannot deceive the Lord with insincerity. Unless you correct yourself through detachment and sacrifice, you cannot reach God. The Lord can be understood, only if you approach Him, develop attachment to Him, have unswerving loyalty to Him and have full faith in Him. You will easily understand Him when you feel that you are but the instrument and He wills every little movement, everywhere. Give up egoism in full, and develop faith. Then you can most certainly see Him.

Do not walk in front of Me,

I may not follow you.
Do not walk behind Me,
I may not lead you.
Walk beside Me and be my friend.
If you attempt to walk
in front of Me,
you may be taking a wrong path.
If you walk behind Me,
you may possibly desert Me.
Walk abreast of Me.
Then there is no chance
of going astray or away from Me,
because I am with you.
