Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - September 02, 2023
Narration
Translated
How will a person devoted to God live their daily lives? Bhagawan lovingly and affirmatively reminds us today to keep us focused on life’s noble goals.
Do not limit Rama or Krishna to a particular name or form. These names were given to them after their birth. They were not born with these names. Bharatiyas have realised the truth that God is the resident of a person’s heart. That is why they are able to withstand all difficulties and sufferings and lead their lives happily. “One should remain equal-minded in happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, victory and defeat (Sukhaduhkhe samekrutva labhalabhau jayajayau), says the Gita. Pleasure and pain are part of human life. Whenever they have to encounter sorrows and difficulties, they consider them as the harbingers of happiness. They have attained exalted positions due to such noble feelings. Their faith in God is unshakable even in the face of mishaps such as bomb blasts, floods, and plane crashes. Those who base their life on faith in God will never encounter sorrows, suffering, and difficulties. Their difficulties will come and go like passing clouds.

"
Life is a constant succession of happiness and sorrow. To be free from these opposites one has to cultivate detachment. - BABA
