Shower Ananda on others; lead them along the godly way; be an example in sincerity and earnestness. Partake in Bhajan and Namasankirtan; have share in the singing, loudly and with enthusiasm. Some ask me, "Why should we sing aloud? Isn't it enough if we feel it in the silence of the mind?"
This is mere dry Vedanta! They are prepared to advise others in the Samithi, but are unwilling to practise the advice themselves!
Two friends were remarkable for their sloth; one of them had to catch a train at 3 a.m. So he asked his friend to wake him up at 2.30 a.m. for he had no faith in himself. The friend was even more of a sloth! He wanted that he should be awakened by his friend at 2.15 a.m. so that he could wake the same fellow at 2.30! How can anything be accomplished by such men?
(Chinna Katha from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
