"All things are transient like passing clouds. Why worry
about them? We should not be elated or depressed by births or deaths. We came naked into the
world. When we leave, we cannot leave our address with "our" kith and kin. How can they be
"our kinsfolk?" All these are worldly phenomena. As long as we live, we should spend our lives
in harmony and fellow-feeling. All our difficulties can be overcome by contemplation on God.
Forgetting God and immersing yourself in worldly concerns, what do you achieve? Have firm
faith in God. Don't give room for differences of caste, creed and nationality. All names and
forms belong to the Divine. All that you see is a manifestation of the Cosmic Form of the Lord.
With firm faith in the Divine, chanting the Lord's name, redeem your lives."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 23.11.1990)
