Samsara



"Many devotees tell Swami that they are caught up in the coils of "Samsara" and are unable to break away from it. But what is the truth? Is it you who are clinging to "Samsara" or is it "Samsara" that is holding you in its grip? Has "Samsara" any hands to hold you? You have hands and you are holding on to worldly life. "Samsara" is not holding you.

It is excessive attachment that is the cause of man's troubles. Do everything as an act of offering to the Divine. Without faith in God, man ceases to be human."


~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 9.4.95)
