"There are no permanent mothers in the world, the only permanent mother is the Divine Mother.
Swami often reminds you of your spiritual family where Truth is your father, Love is your mother, Wisdom is your son, Peace is your daughter, Devotion is your brother, and Yogis are your friends. In the spiritual path these are your true relatives, who will always accompany you.
When you have this kind of relationship, when you treasure this kind of friendship, you will be able to break the bonds of the world and become free. Light has value only when there is darkness; otherwise it has no value by itself. Therefore, in times of trouble and sorrow, whenever problems arise, evoke the principle of Divinity, which will shed illumination and light in moments of darkness."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Excerpt from a Discourse delivered on Shivarathri day before a large gathering of Indian and overseas devotes at Prashaanthi Nilayam, 17-2-1985)
