Bhagawan's Thought for the day - 6th Dec

Date: Tuesday, December 07, 2010

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Actions that bind include all activity in relation to exterior objects. Such actions are usually resorted to with a desire for the result. This craving for the results leads one to the morass of “I” and “mine” and the demons of lust and greed. If one follows this path, there will be sudden flares, as when clarified butter (ghee) is poured in the sacrificial fire! Assigning priority to sense objects (Vishaya) is the same as assigning importance to poison (Visha)!

Swami's Thought on Narayana seva...

Some time ago, Swami used to serve food to all the poor people. This is called Narayana Seva.

It seems one time when Swami had started serving food; He stopped at one spot, noticing a lady who was carrying a little, small child in her arms. Swami stopped there and called to one Seva Dal boy. "We are serving food to these people; how about that child?"

That Seva Dal had no reply. "Swami, what should I do?"

"Bring a glass of milk for this child."

So the Seva Dal boy went all the way to bring a glass of milk.

Swami went on moving around the lines, serving food. From a long distance, He stopped and asked, "Did you give milk to that child?"

That boy said, "Yes, Swami."

Swami said, "Nothing doing!"

Swami went all the way back to that lady and touched the glass. "It is very, very hot. How do you expect the child to drink the milk? No, bring another glass."

He started cooling the milk -- pouring it this way and that, pouring it from one glass into the other. He made it cool and offered the milk to the child and only then left.

"Seva or service is not a routine; it is not mechanical. No! It is not a schedule either. We have to do it wholeheartedly." - Baba

Bhagawan's Thought for today- 4th Dec

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

All things that are seen are transient, unreal. God alone is eternal, real. Attachment with objects ends in grief. God is your own Reality. That Reality, the God in you, has no relationship with the changing transitory objective world. He is Pure Consciousness only. Even if you posit some relationship for it, it can only be the type of relationship that exists between the dreamer and the objects seen and experienced in dreams.

Bhagawan's Thought for today - 2nd Dec

 Date: Thursday, December 02, 2010

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

You must exercise constant watchfulness over your feelings and reactions. You must keep out selfishness, envy, anger, greed and other such evil tendencies from entering your minds. These are nets which entrap you. These vices overwhelm and subdue your holiness, so that you cannot be influenced any longer. Then you will forget yourself and behave like an individual caught in frenzy. You will blabber as your tongue dictates, without regard to the effect - good or evil. You will engage your hands in work that the hands favour. Be aware and keep them in control! If you carefully discriminate, you can be recognised by the good company you keep, the good works you delight in and the good words you utter.
