"Men desire the fruits of good deeds, but do not perform good deeds. Men want to avoid the
consequences of sinful actions, but are engaged in sinful deeds. How is this possible? It is not
easy to escape from the consequences of one's actions. But there is no need for despair. If one
earns even a grain of grace from the Divine, a mountain of sins can be reduced to ashes. If one
feels genuinely penitent, seeks God's forgiveness and takes refuge in God, all one's actions will
get transformed. But without heart-felt penitence, this will not happen."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 24.8.1991, Onam Day)
