Empty Clay Pots

Once, one of the brothers present in a group interview asked Swami, 

"Swami, so long as we are here with You and in this Prasanthi Nilayam, we are fine. However, as we return to our homes, we often slip back to our old habits and old ways. Swami, how do we avoid regressing like this?"

Swami replied, "You are like empty clay pots. When you come to Me, I pour the water of Love into it. But, as you return home, don't let this pot evaporate the water under the heat of bad company. Instead, immerse the water filled pot in the water tank of Satsanga, good company. This will ensure that the pot is always full! Therefore, listen to all that I share with you, take it to your homes and recall them there; reflect on them; be in Satsanga and share these memories with others; dwell on their purport and live in that bliss."

Thank you, Swami, for giving us these pearls of wisdom!
