Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The baby weeps as soon as it is born because the individual being has no desire to get entangled in the objective world once again. Science describes it as the process of breathing for the first time and the clearing of the air passages. But why should it weep? The process can be started by some other way, say, shaking or shivering, is it not? This life which begins with a wail must end with a smile. When you were a little baby, all round you smiled though you kept on wailing. But when you die all round you weep at the loss; you should smile in peace and quiet resignation. The pleasures from sensual enjoyment must finally be converted into happiness from divine union; the pleasures of the senses must gradually be left behind and you must develop a taste for the higher and more lasting pleasure derivable from the springs of your own personality. For divine union, devotion to God is the main thing, the head and the crown. Peace and happiness are the other essentials. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. I, P. 179.
