Original
Why should we be careful about every thought, word and deed? Bhagawan lovingly and emphatically reveals to us today.
Know that whatever you feel or do is an offering to God, that flows towards God. So, be cautious. Do not offer bad thoughts, words and deeds which He does not accept. Offer instead the holy and the pure. That’s your duty. That will ensure Self-satisfaction. Self-satisfaction paves the way to Self-sacrifice and Self-sacrifice brings about Self-Realisation. The entire process rests upon faith; Self-satisfaction, Self-sacrifice and Self-realisation - all these depend on faith. Faith decides the yearning; the yearning decides the fruit; and the act decides the stage that is reachable. For, the sincerity of the act promotes the purity of the path; the purity of the path determines the validity of the wisdom and true wisdom is Divinity itself. The act, the conduct, way of life - all these must be disciplined and elevated. How can a mind encumbered with desires ever rest content? How can it welcome sacrifice? Hence, one must involve themselves only in acts that encourage detachment and renunciation!
- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1984.

One filled with Divine Love will be fearless, will seek nothing from others, and will be spontaneous and selfless in expressing one’s love. - BABA
