Sai Blossoms

 

"Today, man practises meditation and performs japa, but along with them the animal qualities are also allowed to grow.  As long as these qualities remain, the observance of religious practices is worthless.  All such spiritual practices amount to practising deception on the Divine itself.  Therefore, true Sadhana (spiritual practice) means getting rid of one's animal qualities such as cruelty, wickedness, etc."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

(Divine Discourse - 31.8.1992)
