"Men are wasting their precious lives in the pursuit of fleeting and petty pleasures. Make the best use of the opportunity you have now got. That is true devotion. You alone are responsible for your condition because of the way your mind works. Do your duty, recognise the truth of your being, and you will be able to experience your divinity. You have to purify your heart to experience the Divine. You may have desires, aspirations and yearning for happiness. But there is nothing equal to the bliss of experiencing the Divine and you will secure this bliss, wherever God may be.
Life is one long series of worries from birth to death,
But all worries can be overcome by the love of God.
Cultivate this love at least from now onwards."
Turn your minds towards God. Limit your worldly desires.
Why waste all your life in the endless pursuit of wealth?"
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 11.3.1994)
