To hide one untruth uttered,

Leads to several other lies.

To conceal one fault of yours

You have to pretend to cover

Several others that lead to the fault.

To be hypocritical of your opinion once,

You have to be someone else

When you join in talks that criticize others,

You bind your tongue to unpleasant conversations.

When you laugh at others' weaknesses,

You lose your own strength to improve yourselves,

Look at what you have made,
Of something within you

That was all pure and divine.

You live in conflict with yourself.

Disagreements between

Your true self and your ego,

Will only cause one disaster after another

Make peace with your true self.

Drop off this ego which has only become a menace.

There is only one voice within, which is true.

Find it. Listen to it. Act upon it.

Be pure and earn My grace.

 

From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan

 

 

 

 Just think of this for awhile.  You are in this body, this receptacle, in 
order to realize the God you really are.  This body is a cocoon you have spun 
around yourselves, by means for your impulses and desires.  Use it while it 
lasts, to grow wings so that you can escape from it!  You came into the world 
crying, announcing your grief at being  thrust into it, grief at having lost 
hold of God.  Having come with grief, decide not to go with it.  Get rid of it 
in this life itself.
