Know
your duty and do them as best as you can, consistently. Tend your
parents with love, speak the truth and act virtuously. When you have
spare time, repeat the Name of the Lord, with the form that pleases you
the most in your mind. Never indulge in talking ill of others or trying
to discover faults in someone else. Do not cause pain to others in any
form. Be like the lotus, unattached to the slush where it is born in and
the water in which it is bred. The merits and demerits earned in past
births is the slush, where the individual is born; the enticing illusion
called world is the water that sustains. Do not allow that enticement
to affect you. Be above and beyond earthly attachments like the lotus.
Though you may be in it, you should not allow the world to get into you
and affect your sense of values.
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
- Divine Discourse, Mar 31, 1965.
