Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - July 18, 2023
Narration

His Voice
Original
How can we express the divine potency that is latent within us? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today with a memorable eternal example.
While the current is without any form, a bulb, a fan or an electric stove has a definite form. In each appliance, it does have a different function. If you say, “Oh current, how helpful you have been to me!” and touch it, you get a shock. Current has that energy and hence it is a form of the Cosmic Divine. This is also illustrated in the story of Bhasmasura who could reduce anything to ashes through the power he had acquired from the Divine by penance. This inner energy expresses itself in the form of knowledge. Knowledge has to be transformed into skill to achieve balance in life. But people today are killing this knowledge, thereby losing their balance. By losing balance in their lives, they acquire only outward vision and do not cultivate inner vision or insight. When your outlook is projected outwards, your mind starts wavering. You should maintain balance in life. It is possible only when you transform your knowledge into skill.

It is your duty to recognise all men as your kin and to share your skill with others, so that the maximum benefits accrue therefrom. – BABA
