Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - February 08, 2026

Narration

Original
What is it that drains the grace of God from the vessel of our heart? Bhagawan explains and cautions us today.
With determination, man can touch the sky and conquer the world. But today, man is losing this strength. What is the reason for this? He is losing his mastery over the senses. The more sensual he is, the lesser the lifespan. Today’s man is losing his physical strength and consequently destroying his inner strength completely. To remain immortal and retain youth, the power of the senses should be developed by controlling them. There should be no body-attachment. If on one hand, man loses control over the senses and on the other, he develops body-attachment, what then will be his plight? These two can be compared to two holes in a pot filled with water. Water filled in such a pot gets drained. Similarly, the pot of our heart is filled with the nectarous grace of God. Man has to foster his heart. But without forbearance and sympathy, he has drilled holes into it. Consequently, his lifespan has decreased. In this limited life span, what good deeds can he do? How can he work for the welfare of society? God-given strength should be utilised properly by Satsangam (Good Company), Satpravartana (Good conduct) and by Seva (Service). Only then can your strength improve.

Man’s life, though sacred, virtuous, beautiful, and praiseworthy, is short. In this limited life span, man has to engage himself in good actions. – BABA
