"Where Have You Come From?"

 


What is the one question for which the answer has to be sincerely pursued by each one of us? 

"When asked where you have come from, you quickly reply, "From Delhi" or "From Calcutta" or "From Thiruvananthapuram”; but those are the places from where your bodies have come here. Within the body, as its source, sustenance and support, there is the Dehi (the embodied one) distinguishable from the deha (the body) where it has come from. That is beyond your ken. Investigate into that; discover the answer; that is the task of man. You will be released from this role only when you have overcome this colossal ignorance and realised the source, the sustenance and the support of, not only your seeming individuality, but of all the manifold million-faced sparks of that one Divine Force. Do not delay any further; the minutes are fleeing past; be inspired by the yearning to drink the nectar of the realisation of your true worth."


~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

(Divine Discourse, May 12, 1968)


Life, which is not aware of either the 'from' address or the 'to' address, is merely a waste of time.  BABA
