Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Story of the week Saturday, November 15, 2003 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rainwater There was once a miser who lived in a leaky house; the rainwater poured into the house through the roof but the miser sat through it all. Neighbours laughed at him and warned him to get the roof repaired. But in the rainy season, he replied: "Let the rains subside, how can I repair it now?" And when the rains stopped, he replied, "Why should I worry about leaks now? The rains have stopped." Do not suffer the leaks when the rains come, as they are sure to do; repair the roof now itself. That is to say, acquaint yourselves with the spiritual primers and text-books now itself; begin the first lessons of silence, prayer and chanting the Name of the Lord. It is never too soon in the spiritual pilgrimage. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba Source: Sathya Sai Baba, Bahumathi and Ekamathi, Discourse, Madakasira, 25 November 1959 http://beaskund.helloyou.ws/askbaba/stories/s1046.html http://www.sathyasai.org/search/volume01/sss01-24.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
