Sai Inspires - 3rd July 2010

Generally speaking, one gets easily drawn to sense objects, as one becomes a victim of instincts. Instincts readily seek sense objects. Instincts come along with the body and do not require any training, just as an infant seeks milk from the mother's breast and the new born calf nestles at the udder. But for the infant to walk and talk, training is necessary. They are not automatic; these skills are acquired by example and imitation of others. So also, training is essential for the proper pursuit of sense pleasure, for it is the wild, untrained search for such pleasure that promotes anger, hatred, envy, malice and conceit. To train them along salutary lines and to hold them under control, certain good disciplines such as japa (repetition of God’s Name), dhyana (meditation) and upavasa (fasting) are esse ntial. - Bhagavatha Vahini,  Chap.1, "The Bhagavatha".

The Unseen is the basis of all that is Seen. Practise to see the Hand of God, everyday. - Baba
