Golden words of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - 100.

100. Virtue

 

Virtue can be cultivated through voluntary, selfless service to the living

beings. A virtuous person can be both healthy and happy. Virtue must flow

through the triple channels of love, mercy and detachment, if it has to feed the

roots of Service. Human beings are endowed with the instinct of gregariousness,

in order to tread the path of mutual sympathy, continuous compassion and

concrete service. Virtue is the panacea to lead a healthy and happy life.

 

Treat mercifully those who struggle to survive. Help them as much as you can.

Realize your responsibilities. Move reverentially with others. Win the blessings

of God and earn good fame amongst your fellow brothers and sisters. Examine your

daily activities on the touchstone of righteousness. May you become individuals

shining in virtue.

 

When you are true and brave, kind and compassionate, virtuous and pious, the

world can have an era of peace and joy. Beware of the two evil sirens that

entice you into futility and frivolity: Cinema and Novel. They contaminate young

and innocent minds, and corrupt them; they destroy basic humanness and degrade a

good individual. Do not get tempted into the wilderness of vice. Youth must grow

into strong and straight spiritual aspirants who scale the heights of spiritual

life.
