What is the secret to living a happy and healthy life of fulfilment? Bhagawan explains today in simple words that enlighten our minds.
Live always as the servant of the Lord who is within you, then you will not be tempted into sin or fall into evil. Get into the habit of living in the light of God. It is the habit that rehabilitates the fallen. Have the attitude of absolute self-surrender (sharanagati), or else your destiny will be shara-gati (movement of an arrow). That is why Krishna said, “Let your mind be absorbed in Me (Manmana bhava)!” You may ride in a smart car of your own, but you are entrusting daily, without a second thought, the car and yourself and your family to the skill and presence of your chauffeur’s mind! However, when advised to entrust your affairs to the Lord, the power of illusion (mayashakti) hesitates and declines! It refuses to surrender to the divine Power (Mahashakti). What are we to say about such absurd conceit? If you have absolute self-surrender, you will be ever content and ever so happy and healthy!
- Divine Discourse, Oct 10, 1961.

Do every act as an offering to the Lord, without being elated by success or dejected by defeat; this will build your poise and equanimity. - BABA
