Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Source: Radio Sai web site The experience of this one life must be enough to show you that there is no joy unmixed with grief, that both grief and joy are short lived and they both depend on the mind and its control. This world is keeping you in bondage; it is a prison from which you must get released; you should plan never to return to it again. The means to this permanent release are sadhana (spiritual effort), sathkarma (good deeds), bhakthi (devotion) and upasana (worship). These practices help you by reducing your wants, curtailing your desires and teaching you detachment from sensory pleasures. These are the shackles which bind you to the body and the senses, to the limiting emotions of greed and hate, to the blinding passions of anger and lust. Escape from them and you will enjoy lasting peace.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today29th December 2004 Send holiday email and support a worthy cause. Do good.
