Through meritorious deeds
And acts of sacrifice,
Developing love in the heart,
Suppressing demonic traits,
Fostering devotion to God,
Lead your daily life,
O man!
In boyhood man is immersed in sport;
In youth he is lost in sensual pleasures;
In old age, unaware of the Divine Lord,
He pursues one thing or another;
Unable to give up evil tendencies,
Incapable to taking to the path of Devotion,
He wallows in the cesspool of Karma
And makes human life a clod of earth.
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
