Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

What is to be renounced? What is to be sacrificed?

 

You do not need to renounce the world. Many people commit a mistake

here. You do not have to sacrifice the world. You have to give up

worldly thoughts and feelings. You must have heard of Ramananda Tirtha,

a renunciant. He was married, and also had a son. He renounced his

family. One day when his wife visited him, he refused to see her and

turned his head away. Watching this, the wife said to him. " Swami!

Since you have the feeling that I am your wife, you did not look at me

and turned away your face. I do not have that feeling, not in the

least " . It was then she gave him the ochre robes. So, you need not

renounce the world. You need to shed worldly thoughts. You do not have

to sacrifice your properties, but you must establish proper-ties with

God.
