Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Om Sai Ram There was an emperor once who asked the sages who visited his palace, "Who is the best among men? Which moment of time is most blessed? Which act is most beneficial?". He could not get a satisfactory answer for long. At last, his realm was invaded and he was defeated by rival forces and he had to flee into the jungle. There he fell into the clutches of a primitive tribe who selected him as a victim to their Goddess. While in this precarious condition, he was seen by an ascetic, who rescued him and took him to his quiet hermitage where he and his students tended him lovingly back to health and happiness. Then he discovered the answers to his questions: The best among men is he who has compassion: the most blessed time is the present, this very second and the best act is to relieve pain and grief. You decide to start Namasmarana "next Thursday", as if death has assured you in writing that he will not call on you till that date. Do not postpone what you can do today, now, this very moment. Om Sai Ram BHAGAVAN BABA ON NAMASMARANA http://www.ineval.org/sai/Teachings/namasmar.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
