How can we make our worship true and complete?
"Worship the Lord and offer Him these flowers (nonviolence, sense control, compassion, fortitude, peace, austerity, meditation and truth). Now, when other flowers are used, devotion does not last after one comes out of the altar room! When one crosses that door-step, anger, hatred and anxiety possess him and degrade him. Without developing the qualities indicated by the eight flowers, how can any one win the grace of God? Engaged in ‘Asatya Narayana Vrata’ (False Satyanarayana vow) on all 364 days, what is the good you hope to get doing true Satya Narayana Vrata on the 365th day of the year? When you claim to be Sai devotees, justify the claim by cultivating these flowers of virtue and offering them to God."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 6.10.1981)
