~~~Sai BABA WORDS OF WISDOM~~~
Blessed is Sai’s life. Blessed is His daily routine. His ways and actions are indescribable. Sometimes, he was intoxicated with Brahmanand (divine joy), and at other times content with self knowledge. While doing so many things sometimes, he was yet unconcerned with them. Though, he seemed at times quite actionless (doing nothing), He was not idle or dozing. He always abided in His own self. Though He looked calm and quite as the placid sea, He was deep and unfathomable. Who can describe His ineffable nature?
"Saibaba often hinted that he had not come to teach, but to awaken. He sought to bring about his awakening through the impact of his love. Through centuries men have read volumes of philosophy, but so long as there is no integration between thought and practice, sadhakas do not grow in spiritual Grace. Sai Baba, therefore, simplified his teachings, so that bhaktas may get down to the sheer practice of spiritual sadhana"
Among the six vikaras (ill-feelings), jealosy is the easiest to conquer. In this vikara, there is no question of gain or loss to ourselves. Jealousy is the inability to endure another's profit and prosperity. If another gets fortune or power, we cannot put up with it; we scandalize him. When he meets with a loss, we rejoice. But is this good? When that man attains properity, what loss have we really suffered? But people do not consider this point. If he benefits, let us consider ourselves benefited; or let us strive to attain equal good. That should be our desire and determination. What has he taken away of ours? Nothing! He received the prosperity that is the result of his karma
