Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Man is the monarch of all animals; his is the most glorious chance among all living beings. Though the elephant lives longer, the lion is more fierce, the eagle more far-seeing, the cock more punctual in early rising, the cow more imbued with the spirit of sacrifice, man has in him the potentialities which can be brought out by proper culture. If only he intensifies his thirst for God, he can live in perpetual content, instead of grovelling in perpetual discontent, pining for land, buildings, bank-balance, furniture, status, power, authority and all such trivial satisfactions. At last, when man is about to leave the world, as leave he must, he is surrounded by his wife and children who lament loudly, asking, " What is to happen to us when you leave?" But the poor fellow is confronted by a more urgent, a more personal problem: "What is to happen to me?" And he has no more time to discover the answer or to prepare for something good to happen. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VI, P. 145-147. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
