Narration
Translated
Why is it necessary to train our minds, today and every day? Bhagwan lovingly coaches us about its inner significance and urges us to prioritize it! It is very necessary to train the mind to be always pleasant. The waters of a river leap from mountains, fall into valleys, and rush through gorges; tributaries join at various stages, and the waters become turbid and unclean. So too, in the flood of human life, speed and power increase and decrease. These ups and downs might happen at any moment during life. No one can escape them. They may come at the beginning of life, at the end, or perhaps in the middle. So, one has to convince oneself firmly that life is necessarily full of ups and downs and that, far from being afraid and worried over them, one should welcome them as adding to one’s experience. One should not only feel like this, but should also be happy and glad with whatever happens! Then, all troubles, whatever their nature, will pass away lightly and quickly. For this, the temper of the mind is essential.
- Dhyana Vahini, Ch 3.
"
Living is either pleasant or unpleasant, depending upon one’s basic attitude toward life. - BABA
— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
