BLISS BLOSSOM - MAYA WILL LASH YOU....

[Guest guest]

Baba said, "Maya will lash or whip him, who forgets Me" in Sri Sai

Satcharitra Chapter III.

 

One should always avoid evil company and take to the company of the

virtuous. The company of those whose entire outlook is worldly is

very harmful. To say nothing of living things, even the association

of lifeless objects, which tempt the mind and attract the senses,

should be given up.

 

One should never utter even by mistake, nor hear anything in

opposition to God. It is the greatest sin to utter or hear such words.

 

Freeing the mind from the feelings of attraction and repulsion, one

should enjoy objects of pleasure through the senses dispassionately

and not with the feeling of love and hatred, nor as a slave of the

senses, making them your slaves, rather than be a slave to them and

carry out their orders.

 

The greatest obstacle in the path of an aspirant is the desire for

fame. It is easy to renounce the attraction for wealth or woman, but

it is exceedingly difficult to renounce the attraction for fame.

 

The seat of happiness is your mind. Happiness does not lie in any

action or particular object. If the mind is peaceful, you are happy;

otherwise there is misery and misery alone. To attain peace of mind

it is necessary to renounce all worldly desires.
