Golden words of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - 57.

57. Strength and Vision

 

At this critical hour in the history of the world, when the demoniac forces of

fear and anxiety, injustice and inequity are raging in wild fury, it is the duty

of every human being to be equipped with spiritual strength so that he may not

be overwhelmed by the storm. This is an urgent and essential task and I must say

that the women of India have a contribution to render service and a role to

play. They must bring God into the hearts of the child and help it to keep Him

there. For, Faith in God is the tonic that men needs to get back health and

happiness

 

It is the duty of every man to realise the purpose of life and utilise his time

in the performance of his duties to sanctify his existence. Given the will,

there is nothing that man cannot achieve in this world. But before embarking on

any enterprise, man should recognise his abilities and endowments. Mankind has

acquired the ability to explore the stars or walk on the moon, but has been

unable to understand its true nature; man has become ignorant of his unity with

the integral consciousness. This consciousness is not related to knowledge of

the external world. It can be experienced only by turning one's vision inward.

Only when he has Samagratha Bhavam (integral awareness) will he have the right

perception. Such integral vision alone can confer bliss.
