Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

Some people are not putting in enough effort in matters of

spirituality. They are lazy. Is it proper to be so?

 

This is not spirituality at all. " Laziness is rust and dust;

Realisation is rest and best " . Man is gifted by God with body, mind

and intellect for performing karma, action. It is said,

Karmanubandhini manus yaloke. Human society is bound by action.

Karmame karanam narunaku sukhadukhamilalo (Telugu verse). It is only

action that makes you happy or unhappy. Karma is the cause of janma.

For the redemption of life and following righteousness, one has to

take the path of action that gives you the divine experience,

brahman.

 

You may say that you are not doing any karma. Remember that you can't

live for a moment without karma. Respiration, blood circulation etc.,

are actions, whether you know it or not. You eat food while it is God

who digests it. One important thing is, human effort and God's grace

are both equally important. These are like the positive and negative

wires through which the current flows. Another example is the

matchbox. In order to light a matchstick, you have to strike it

against the sides of the box.

 

I give you another illustration in support of this. Suppose the cart

in which you are traveling turns upside down. You have to get up

slowly and lift a wheel to set it right. God's grace will add to your

effort raising the other wheel so that the cart comes back to the

normal position.
