THE GREATER THE TRIAL, THE GREAT THE REWARD

[Guest guest]

>From 3rd November 1952 to 18th February 1953, Sai Baba gave discourses to Yogi

M.K.Spencer, in the altar room and they have been published in the Book "How I

met God" and these messages were written down by Spencer, in the altar room

word by word without making any change in compliance With Babas command. These

discourses embody the teachings of all the prophets Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddha,

Moses, Christ and Muhammad and the experiences of saints and sagbes in all the

countries of the world, from the most ancient to recent time to date. Religion

is a matter of the heart, It has to be lived and transcended. The discourses,

in beautiful and lucid language, contain so much exoteric andesoteric material,

that they make a wide range of appeal, even though thethruths adumbrated are as

old as the hills, and there may be nothing new inthemTHE GREATER THE TRIAL, THE

GREAT THE REWARD

The darkest cloud has a silver lining. The pall (cloth) of dark night is lifted

up when the sun shines in all its brightness and glory. Even if the struggle be

hard, why be sad and gloomy? For, is not God, your father near you, to befriend

you ? Keep your mind still like the waters of the deep lake. Stand firm like a

rock and shrink not if calamities pour on you, like a hurricane. The greater

the trial, the greater the reward, the greater the misery, the greater the

happiness, that must follow like sunny day, when the night is over. Stain not

your mind or body with impurity. Walk in the path of rectitude (moral

uprightness), with love for all – a smile for a kick and forgiveness to all.

Make that the ideal of your life, if you wish to win the race and come out

triumphant from the struggle of life.

Hatred, malice, revenge, jealousy, bigotedness, pride, greed, lust, sloth –

these are the companions of Satan. Love, purity, righteousness, gentility,

humility, tolerance, broad mindedness, contentedness, culture, labour,

sincerity, one-mindedness, these are the fragrant flowers that grow in the

garden of God. Make a bouquet of them and carry it with you, for each flower is

reminiscent of God’s glory and a rememberance of His kingdom. Make virtue your

crown and vice a foot-stool, to trample under your feet. Be a master, not a

slave of your mind, body and the senses. (17-11-1952)
