Sai Baba Gita - Your true Nature is Eternal Joy

[Guest guest]

Your true Nature is Eternal Joy

Life may be thought of as a flow, where different energies, feelings or states

of being come together and then separate again. These are moments of

transition, when a particular ephemeral quality changes to its opposite, or

when a particular time period changes to another. For example, the junction

between night and day, between sleep and waking or between health and illness

are times of transition. The coming together of happiness and sorrow is also

such a time. At the very moment of transition, you are neither happy nor sad.

At that time when you transition from one feeling to another, your mind is in

equipoise and you are not bound by either emotion. But you do not remain there

for long. Soon you move into the opposite quality, you feel happiness or fall

into sorrow, and you come under the sway of that feeling. Of course, you aspire

only for happiness and not for sorrow, but to permanently achieve that you must

transcend all these temporary feelings.

When you become aware of the transitions you realize that your unchanging truth

is neither of the opposites which you cycle between in life. The path of wisdom

reveals to you your essence which is eternal joy. Your true nature transcends

all these temporary joys and sorrows. When you are identified with your eternal

self, you are not be affected by the pairs of opposites. The path of wisdom

teaches the way to eternal joy through the practice of detachment and

discrimination. This practice must be based on unwavering love for the

divinity, present everywhere.
