Finally, nature is the best teacher. We find the rivers flowing incessantly, quenching our thirst. We find the trees bearing fruit for our sake. We find the cows yield milk for us. The cow's milk, the fruit from the trees, the breeze, the sunlight and the moonlight always serve us selflessly, without a word of recognition or appreciation. So Bhagawan says, "Nature is the best teacher".
"Life is the best preacher". Our life is the best preacher, which means that when life passed through certain stages - stages of elation or jubilation or frustration or depression, each stage teaches us how to be equal-minded, how to be an example, how not to get carried away by the winds - the whims and vagaries of the world.
Life is the best preacher, for nothing is permanent in this world. No one ever lives forever. Life is just a passing cloud. But in this moment, though it may be temporary, this moment is one of eternity. This moment is a moment of eternity - life is in the present where the past is dead and gone. In the present, the past is dead and the future is only a hope. The future is not certain; it is a hope; it is a promise; it is a dream and it may not come at all. The future may not come at all, while the past is finished. The past is history, while the future is a mystery. But only the present moment is a reality. Let us live in the present because this moment is the eternal and immortal moment.
May Bhagawan help us every moment of our life. From now may we start to consider that service is not for others but it service to the Spirit within.
(From the book "Sai-chology" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
