GOOD QUALITIES VERSUS EVIL QUALITIES

The real contest today within you is the one between the evil qualities of desire, hatred, envy, pride, etc. and good qualities like truth, virtue, peace, nonviolence and love. Your body is the battlefield.

One team’s captain is the embodiment of good qualities. The captain of the other is the embodiment of mundane desires. Those who adhere to ever changing and worldly desires will attain defeat. Only those who attach themselves to the unchanging and eternal Divine can hope for enduring success in life.

In money, scholarship, knowledge and intelligence, there is no evil. Evil arises only from the activities you carry out using them.

The Sai Teachings

Live in Truth

Always love and follow only truth; falsehood is never beneficial. Some people may respect, but you will find that no one honours falsehood, deceit, and injustice all the time. On the contrary, everyone respects truth, honesty, integrity, and justice. Who is a divine person? It is just a name for the person who observes truth as their vow in daily living. The right conduct as prescribed in the scriptures (Vedas) is tested, proven and capable of standing the test of time. It is impartial and just. Faith in it grows with practice.

The worship of the Divine must follow the rules prescribed in the Scriptures; through this means, people get strengthened in leading a righteous life. This “righteousness” is the command of the Lord; it is the authentic voice of God, so it might as well be followed, bringing goodness to all; it confers bliss, here and hereafter

The Sai Teachings

EXPANSION

Expansion is the keynote of education. The first step for this expansion is the home, where you must revere and please your parents who gave you this chance to live and learn. If you ill-treat them or inflict grief on their minds, how can you ever gladden others by service and understanding? You know that when a balloon is blown, it bursts and the air inside it merges with the vast limitless expanse outside. So too your love must fill your home and your society, and finally burst even those bonds and become worldwide. A drop of water held in the palm evaporates soon; it is very solitary. But drop it into the sea - it survives! It assumes the name, the majesty and the might of a sea! Cultivate the seeds of love in all hearts!

The Sai Teachings

Your Happiness…

Good and bad, wealth and poverty, praise and blame go together in this world. You cannot derive happiness out of happiness. Happiness comes only out of sorrow. A wealthy man today may become a pauper tomorrow. Similarly, a pauper may become a rich man some day or other. Today you are being praised, but tomorrow you may be criticised. To consider praise and blame, happiness and sorrow, prosperity and adversity with equal-mindedness is the hallmark of a true human being.

The Hindu scriptures, the Gita, declares,

 “Remain equal-minded in happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, victory and defeat”. You can truly enjoy your life as a human being only when you consider both sorrow and happiness, profit and loss with equanimity. There is no value for happiness without sorrow. Therefore, welcome sorrow if you want to experience real happiness.

The Sai Teachings

Culture

Many do not invest time to understand the sacredness and value of their culture. ‘Culture’ means that which sanctifies the world, which enhances the greatness and glory of a country, and which helps to raise the individual and society to a higher level of existence. The observance of morality in daily life, divinization of all actions and thoughts related to life, and adherence to ideals - all these together constitute culture.

Culture contributes to the refinement of life. The process of refinement or transformation is essential for improving the utility of any object. For instance, paddy has to be milled and the husk has to be removed before the rice is fit for cooking. This is the process known as transformation. This means getting rid of the unwanted elements and securing the desirable elements. With regards to people, Culture means getting rid of bad qualities and cultivating virtues. A cultured person is one who has good thoughts and good conduct.

The Sai Teachings

2016 Resolution - develop the quality of Love.

Do not hate anyone. Develop the faith that whatever happens to you is good for you. Think that whenever you encounter any difficulty or suffering, you alone are responsible for it. On the other hand, if you insult anyone knowingly or unknowingly, that someone else may punish you some day. Pleasure and pain are the products of your own making. The merit or sin you commit, follows you like a shadow always.

Many today give sermons to others, without following their own advice. What value will your advice have? Whenever you read or listen to a noble thought, it is of no value to you, until you practice it assiduously. Help your fellow human beings at least in a small measure. You will be helped in return, when you need it most. Never blame others for the difficulties you face. Never abuse anyone.

Love all and treat everyone as your brothers and sisters.

May you all enjoy a blessed 2016
