"My Birthday Offering to Swami" - 88th Birthday Special

Be eager and earnest to learn more and more about the art of joyful living, the art of being happy always. People are happy when they dress well, wear rich clothes and strut about the streets. At times, this may cause envy among the little children who cannot afford these, and one may even feel elated with that response! But you can afford to be legitimately proud, only when you are able to control the vagaries of your mind and direct your emotions along honourable and healthy channels, braving even the ridicule of your so-called friends. That is true freedom; that is true success. If you reach that stage, then you become a seasoned driver and you can be trusted with the wheel on any road, and with any cargo, however precious. Now you are trained to not cause harm, either to yourself or to others. This stage is when you truly deserve to become a leader.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1959.

Be like the tongue in the midst of the teeth, carefully, confidently and courageously going about its task, without getting bitten. - Baba

Today's Thursday Live (7 Nov 2013) - Programme Schedule

The body is the instrument for doing your duties (Karma) and your intellect (Buddhi) is shaped by your Karma. Prayer and meditation will purify your intellect and make it an effective instrument to win the Lord’s Grace and for self-realization. The warmth of Divine Grace will melt all ignorance away. You can win it by engaging yourself in good deeds. Do your duties that you are best fitted for; that which you are ordained for, your Swadharma. God incarnates for teaching people to perform their dharma (duty). He corrects the Buddhi through counsel and command; at times condemning but also by being a close friend and well-wisher, so that people would willingly give up evil propensities and recognize the straight path. Tread the noble path and attain self-realization.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964.

Your primary duty is to uphold the human values of truth, righteousness, peace and love at all times. - Baba

Everyone is now seeking comfort and pleasure; it is considered the be-all and end-all. If you tell someone that he or she can eat whatever they like and as much as they like, they will be delighted. If you add that they may develop, as a natural consequence, illnesses and describe the suffering associated with it, you will immediately become their enemy! No regimen or control is ever popular. However, know that strength is derived only from control, only from restraint and regulation. One becomes tough and capable of endurance only if hardships are welcomed. Struggle, and you get the strength to succeed. Seek the basis for the seen in the unseen. The tall skyscraper has a deep base buried deep into the earth.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964.

You may not see Me, but I am the light that makes you see. - Baba

Always respect another's opinion and another's point of view. Do not start a quarrel at the slightest difference of opinion. The other person may be right and you may be wrong. Ponder over the argument; the other might have had the advantage of knowing more about the subject or you may be prejudiced either for or against it; or the other possibly may not know as much as you do. Remember that all differences of opinion are not due to personal hatred. Hatred is ugly, unnatural and inhuman. Know that it is against the very core of love that is in every one.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1959.

All that you are, you owe to society! Express your gratitude by rendering service. - Baba

A person or an institution is to be judged according to their integrity, whether their acts are according to the principles professed. The mind, the body, and the word - all three must work in unison. When work (Karma) is thus disciplined and regulated, automatically your senses will become sublimated and you will attain everlasting Prasanthi (inner peace). From this will arise Prakanti (the great light), and from that will emerge Param Jyoti (Supreme Illumination). That Illumination will reveal the Paramatma (Divinity) present within you! You must achieve that success by following the path laid out for you – conquer anger and desire, achieve love through the practice of incessant meditation (Japa-Dhyana), which will lead to the blossoming of the lotus of the heart and the emergence of Divinity from within you!

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964.

Unity is divinity, purity is enlightenment. - Baba

The unmistakable sign of rain is the wetness of the ground. So too, the sign of an educated person, who has had several years of schooling is good manners. Such a person will be humble knowing that the field of knowledge is so vast that even after years of learning one has hardly touched its fringe. They must also be aware of their kinship with all beings and must show a keenness to serve others gladly, at all times, without any desire for publicity. The educated children must move with everyone in a friendly manner, without inhibitions, knowing that God is the moving force in everyone. God is behind all good impulses and useful attitudes. All of you are separate beads, strung together on one common thread, which is God.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1959.

Virtue is the sign of an educated person. Education must transform your heart. - Baba

We often hear about the concept of equality (Samaanathwa), of each being equal to the rest. It is often a misunderstood notion. For example, all are entitled to the medicines in the hospital; but what is given to one should not be given to another. There can be no equality in dispensing of medicine! Each deserves the medicine that will cure one’s illness. This struggle in the name of equality is only one of the ways in which man is trying to get happiness. In almost all parts of the world, people today are pursuing many such short-cuts and wrong paths to achieve happiness. Of course all are equally entitled to love and sympathy, and to the grace of God. But let Me tell you, without reforming one’s conduct and little acts of daily life, happiness will be beyond reach. Pravartana or behaviour is most important.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964.

When Righteousness (Dharma) and Peace (Shanthi) are adored, genuine prosperity and happiness exist. - Baba
