Swami's Importance on Discipline

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir,

 

Om Sri Sai Ram. Prayers to Our Beloved Swami that His Divine Blessings be

with you and with your Near and Dear ones always.

 

Swami's Discourse given on January'24th'1965 in Venkatagiri is a wonderful

and great example of Swami's Importance on Discipline :

 

"Discipline is very important for everyone in one's Life, Discipline does

not mean getting up on time, eating and sleeping on time, that is not

discipline but order in your Life. See Swami, many of you and everyone ask

me many questions always, Do I get angry or upset or irritated, Why? Because

Swami is equanimous to everything, For SWAMI EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IS THE

SAME. Discipline in life means Three Important things : Love for God,

Respecting your Elders especially your parents and Doing Seva which means

helping others in need. When you try to follow these things in your Life

everything other thing that you do will be Good. Loving God meaning not only

Praying to Him but also for everyone, Never Be selfish in Praying to the

Lord. When you pray for everyone, you develop a Selfless Mind and that will

help you a lot to see everyone with Selflessly. Respect and Love your

Parents, They are everything in one's Life, The Greatest Sin that one can

commit is to disrespect your parents, They have given you everything and

sacrificed everything for you, when you respect your parents by fulfulling

their every need, you will learn to respect others as well. Seva, Service

means Serving those in need, Seva means any Small act that will be of help

others, when you have the quality of helping others in need, you will

develop Love for everyone, Goodness will flow though you. SWAMI WANTS ALL OF

YOU TO DEVELOP THESE THREE PRINCIPLES, Then there will be nothing but

Happiness for you in life. Vali was one of the greatest Warriors in the

Ramayana, he had no parrelel in any form of battle, He could defeat anybody,

He could have got Sitadevi immediately by defeating Ravana and give her back

to Ramachandra, But Ramachandra wanted to tell everyone that Power is not

everything in this world, Love for others, Respect for others is also

important, Why Did Ramachandra kill Vali from Behind?, Was it not wrong ?,

Vali was no match for Ramachandra anyway, It was to tell everyone that If

your life is bad and if you are immersed in bad things, Your end will also

be bad, Vali understood when Ramachandra told him that "He had wasted his

Life in pleasures and shown only vengenance towards his Brother and that he

had to end his Life like this". SWAMI WANTS ALL OF YOU TO FOLLOW THE THREE

PRINCIPLES THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU.

 

Om Sri Sai Ram
