Original
Why is it pointless trying to understand God? What must we do instead in this quest? Bhagawan explains and inspires us today!
The aspirant must not exult when his happiness is promoted, nor be disheartened when misery becomes his lot. "Thy will, not mine" shall be his constant assertion to himself. Few seekers seek to unravel the intention of God, to tread the path that leads to Him, and to follow the ideals He lays down. They follow their own instincts and judgements and get distress and despair as reward. They are not aware of the sacrilege they commit. They proclaim that God is the inner motivator and that He is present everywhere but behave as if He is absent in places they do not like Him to be. They fritter away precious time in dry discussions and controversies about God. Each one can explore the truth of God and delve into His mystery only as far as their moral, intellectual and mental capacities permit. One can collect from the ocean only as much water as one’s vessel holds. God is immeasurably vast; He is beyond the reach of the most daring imagination! A pupil of a particular standard in school has to study the texts prescribed for pupils of that level of intelligence.
- Divine Discourse, Feb 29, 1984.
"
God can be known only by an intellect that has been cleansed of all traces of attachment and hatred, of egotism and the sense of possession. - BABA
— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
