Divine Words from the Master Healer
Vol 2 Izdaja 6
November 2011
“Three types of activity reach God and earn His Grace: (1) those not prompted by personal desire, (2) those emanating from unselfish love and (3) prayer arising from pure hearts. They reach the Lord directly and He pays heed to them. The rest are the concern of the various deities who preside over their disposal. Therefore, prayers have to be unselfish, saturated with love, and free from the taint of attachment to the gift that the prayer would bring.”
-Sathya Sai Baba, “Thought for the Day”, July 23, 2011, Prashanti Nilayam
“Individuals full of ego love to exercise authority over others. They see everything through glasses coloured by the smoke of selfishness and self-love. “My words are true.” “My opinion is correct.” “My deeds are right.” Such behaviour is very harmful for spiritual aspirants. Aspirants must look forward eagerly to any objective criticism, or suggestion, or advice, from whatever quarter. Also, aspirants must minimise all discussion and argumentation as this breeds a spirit of rivalry and leads one on to angry reprisals and vengeful fighting. Do not struggle to earn the esteem of the world. Do not feel humiliated or angry when the world does not recognise you or your merits. Learn this first and foremost if you are an aspirant for spiritual success. Do not become happy when you are being praised; therein lies a deadly trap, which might even lead you astray and endanger your progress"
-Sathya Sai Baba, “Thought for the Day”, October 28, 2011, Prashanti Nilayam
