Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Persons who cannot tolerate the Glory of the Avataar have indulged in such campaigns, in every Age! They have contributed to the heightening of the splendor and the spread of the message, in every age. Their activities are all instruments to the propagation of the glory throughout the world. Even today, such things happen; but all of you must recognize their inevitability and their fundamental falsehood, and carry on your saadhana in full faith and assurance, with undiminished enthusiasm and joy. The Sai Principle, the Sai Divinity can never be affected by any slander; it can never be shaken by any tactics; its progress can never be halted. Do not pay heed to the barking you hear. A stray dog stops and looks at its own reflection in the stream; it mistakes the reflection for another dog and starts barking aloud. This sets all the dogs in the neighborhood, and later in the region, bark in unison. The reason why the first dog barked is its own ignorance of fact. The reason why the other dogs followed suit is that the first dog called the tune. A huge scare is built on a patent falsehood. Thus the story goes on, adding one thing to another. Just as devotees remained unruffled in the Age of Krishna, you too must stand firm and be unaffected. Faith must endow you with courage and calmness. The life of Krishna teaches you this lesson more than others: do not lend your ears or mortgage your minds to purveyors of scandal or lies. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XII, Chapter 36.
