"In order to get rid of bad thoughts from our minds, we must make a special effort by spending some time every day in the thought of God. Out of the twenty-four hours of each day, we are wasting almost twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes. You should try and spend at least a few minutes everyday in the thought of God. Cotton, bales as big as a mountain, will be completely burnt out if you put a small lighted match on to them. We may have committed sins as big as mountains; but if even one small ray of the grace of the Lord falls on you, all your sins will be burnt away. Spend your life in the thought of the Lord and in the service of the Lord."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Summer Showers in Brindavan 1978, Chapter: God's Grace Can Burn Away Mountains of Sins, Para 8)
