Sai Inspires -10th July 2010

Mind control is very hard to attain. The mind can cause bondage as well as confer liberation. It is an amalgam of the passionate and ignorant attitudes, and can be easily polluted. It relishes in hiding the real nature of things and casting on them the forms and values that it desires. So you must regulate the activity of the mind. Understand the first characteristic of the mind: it runs helplessly after the senses.  Whichever sense the mind follows, it is to invite disaster. When a pot of water becomes empty, we need not infer that it has leaked away through ten holes - one hole is enough to empty it! So too, even if one sense is not under control, you will be thrown into bondage. So, every sense has to be mastered. - Sutra Vahini, Chapter 1,"Six Primary Virtues".

I am the sole refuge of those who surrender to Me.   - Baba
