Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devoh Maheshwara Guru Sakshat Parabrahmah Tasmai Shree Guru Veh Namah Om Sri Sai Ram Om Sai Jai Sai Jai Jai Sai True Service True service takes place only when the ego is placed aside. How easy it is to say that, but how difficult it is to do in practice, for we are all trained to identify with the ego-self from the moment of birth until the moment of death. That is why so few of us ever experience true joy. It is only on very rare occasions that we have an insight as to what the reality of life should be, a state of joyfulness. Nevertheless, once we have recognized the reality of God's love, once we have experienced that moment of cosmic consciousness, then pleasure becomes a poor substitute. Once we have experienced the presence of a being who lives in a state of joy, a true Master, then we realize just how barren is a life devoted to the pursuit of pleasure Service is the inherent nature of our being. We were born to serve and for those who resist that planetary lesson, this Earth becomes a place of pain and suffering. Until we learn to release the ego and freely serve, even the least aspect of Humanity, which stands before us, our life will be joyless. Let us see each day as a Baba's-given opportunity for service. Recognize that we are not really serving any one individual but the manifestation of Baba in them. We may not feel very comfortable with their personality. We may not like the physical role they are playing. Be aware that we aren't serving them but the Baba in them. Recognize that a joyful person is a servant of the Lord. They touch every thing and every person they meet and uplift all those who come into their presence. A joyful person transmutes negative energies and is a living demonstration of true union with the Source of All Life. We are simply one aspect of Spirit serving another aspect of Spirit. We are all part of the same Body of Spirit and so we are serving ourselves. Recognize that when we serve another, we uplift not just ourselves and the person being served, but the whole Human Race, the whole planet. by The Ramala Center http://www.ramalacentre.com/teachings01a.htm Baba Said.... "Consider yourself as the merchant or seeker after the truth and be anxious and eager like him to collect or cultivate the nine types of devotion. then, you will attain stability and peace of mind". Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to whom so ever you meet. OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him Jai Sai Ram Swamy Mahadevan Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all Baba Bless you ever!!!
