Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 20, 2024
Narration
Translated
What is the surest way to win the Lord’s Grace? Bhagawan Himself guides and instructs us today on the best way to please Him.
People have specialised in various methods of worshipping God; there are a host of rites, ceremonies, hymns, festivals, fasts, vows, and pilgrimages; but, the best form of worship, the one that will bring the grace of God in ample measure is to obey the commands of God. Adulation is poor adoration! Placing God at a great distance from you and praising Him as Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent will not please Him. Develop nearness, proximity, and kinship with God. Win Him by obedience, loyalty, humility, and purity. Make your lives simple; fill the daily tasks with love and mutual co-operation; be tolerant towards the errors and failings of others; look upon them with empathy and understanding; be calm and without agitation, under all conditions. Then, you can be happy and the country will be happy. Your sentiments will be unselfish and your emotions, tender. Envy, hatred and vindictiveness can gain no entrance into the stronghold of your mind, where mercy, benevolence and gratitude stand guard!
- Divine Discourse, May 12, 1970.
"
No worship or penance, no oath can equal the efficacy of obedience, obedience to the command given for your liberation. - BABA
