Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 29, 2024
Narration
Translated
Who can truly be considered a person on the path of dharma? Bhagawan clearly lays it out for us today.
Whoever subdues egotism, conquers selfish desires, destroys bestial feelings and impulses, and gives up the natural tendency to regard the body as the self, that person is surely on the path of dharma; that person knows that the goal of dharma is the merging of the wave in the sea, the merging of Self in the Over-self. In all worldly activities, be careful not to offend propriety or the canons of good nature; do not play false to the promptings of the inner voice; be prepared, at all times, to respect appropriate dictates of conscience; watch your steps to see whether you are in someone else’s way; be ever vigilant to discover the truth behind all this scintillating variety! This is your entire duty, your dharma. The blazing fire of wisdom (jnana), which convinces you that all this is Divinity (sarvam khalvidam Brahmam), will consume into ashes all traces of your egotism and worldly attachment. You must become intoxicated with the nectar of union with Brahman; that is the ultimate goal of dharma and of action (karma) inspired by dharma!
- Dharma Vahini, Ch 1.

Have faith in God, and in the correctness of moral living. Then, you can have peace and joy, whatever may be the fare that fortune offers you. - BABA
