Satsang

"The easiest and most fruitful method of keeping yourself free from dust and rust is Sathsang (good company).  The company of the good and the godly will slowly and surely chasten and cleanse the persons prone to straying away from the straight path towards Self-Realization."

- A quote by Baba, taken from Sanathana Sarathi

Difference between human and demon

The difference between human and demon (Maanava and Daanava) is just this – human beings should have morality, self-control and compassion (Dharma, Dhama and Daya). Demons do not have these, nor do they consider them as desirable characteristics; they ignore them and pay no heed to the prompting of these virtues. 

On the contrary, these three are in fact the essential qualities of every man. Every being in the universe is a pilgrim on the path from demon to human to divine. The number of stages in this journey is as many as the number of hearts in this universe! Each pilgrim moves at their own speed and with the Name and Form that inspires them.

-- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

'Get red of your soiled nature'

"People buy dark coloured clothes, so that they may not reveal its dirt; 

they do not prefer white clothes, for they show plainly their soiled condition. 

But, do not try to hide your dirt in darkness; 

be repentful of soiled natures and endeavour to cleanse them fast."

Bhagawan Baba

A mesg from God - On kindness and generosity

Got this msg y'day in my mail. It made me smile. :) And feel so good inside. 

"On this day of your life, Aarthi, I believe God wants you to know...

...that kindness is one of your wonderful traits, but where you really shine is in your generosity.

It is one thing to be kind, and you are that. 

 Yet it is quite another thing to also be unfailingly generous--

with your time, your talent and energy, 

your willingness to 'be there' for others, and yes, with your money.

You are a generous person, and that takes kindness to a new level. 

Be happy in the knowingness of this."

God's msg today

"You are on the right path; you are marching straight 

to your own joy, and to happiness for others."

I was indeed thrilled to see this message. I esp. liked the part 'to your own joy, and to happiness for others', b'coz I like to be happy and also make others happy. Here's more of the mesg, which I got in my email today.

Did you need a "signal" from the Universe about this?

Consider that signal as having been sent...

Now it is just a matter of trust. Do you trust that God

knows what She is doing?

You will not have to think but a second to know

exactly why you received this message today.

I take this as a positive sign from God and as a sign of good times ahead, for it is hope that keeps me going. :)

Count ur blessings

I've never made a fortune,

and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much,

I'm happy anyhow.

I smiled when I read these few lines 'coz I felt they were written for me. :)

The real pilgrimage

Individual reconstruction is the most important need today. Multiply virtues, not buildings. Practise what you preach, that is the real pilgrimage.
