Narration
Translated
What is the one affliction we must try and get rid of from our life, and what must we do for that? Bhagawan gives us a beautiful solution with a memorable example today. If there is a boil on the body, we put some ointment on it and cover it with a bandage until the whole thing heals. If you do not apply the ointment and tie the bandage around this boil, it is likely to become septic and cause great harm later on. Now and then we will have to clean it with pure water, apply the ointment again and put on a new bandage. In the same way, in our life, there is this particular boil which has come up in our body in the form of 'I', 'I', 'I'. If you want to really cure this boil of 'I', you will have to wash it every day with the waters of love, apply the ointment of faith on it and tie the bandage of humility around it. The bandage of humility, the ointment of faith, and the waters of love will be able to cure this disease that has erupted with this boil of 'I’.
Divine Discourse, Feb 17, 1985.
"
The Divine in him can manifest only when the dark forces of 'mine' and 'I' are rendered ineffective. - BABA
