You will have to sacrifice a great deal, if Dharma must be born in your heart. That is why Dhasharatha had to do the Puthrakaameshtiyaaga (a great sacrifice for obtaining sons). The divine is the very embodiment of Dharma and it is only by means of Dharma that He can be worshipped. And Dharma is a garland of the flowers of holy deeds, holy words, holy thoughts. Earn the reputation of being good, serviceable and efficient in doing good. Children who do not render their parents happy, by such good conduct are remembered by their mothers only through the pain they gave them at birth.
- Swami's Divine Discourse in Brindavan on 4th April' 1971 Om Sai Ram
