The Watch



"The watch will teach Sathyam. It warns against evil, and alerts you to be good, Sivam. It is worn as a jewel so it is Sundaram, too, besides being a teacher and reminder of human values. The watch is the symbol of Time. We are powerless before Time but Time's Creator and Director can be won and attained by the wise .use of Time. 

Instructing others on this inner meaning of the Watch and the Panchaakshari Mantra derivable from the five letters WATCH are not enough to fulfill your duty. The watch advises you to watch yourself whether you have the credentials to teach. A hundred eyes will be watching every word and deed of yours to discover whether you have mastered the human values and whether you are practising them. 

And, most important of all, God, the Universal Watcher, is witnessing and weighing your every thought, word and deed. The God in you examines and judges and you are able to acquire self satisfaction through sincerity and serenity. Prove your humanness by the practice of the values which are the unique qualities of man."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 7.3.1986)
