A diamond today Is considered most precious of gem stones. It is white, pure and clear, and it shines, Under the influence of an external light source. But the diamond is not found in this form. It lays as a dull stone, Covered with various impurities in the ground. You have to go deep down to mine for it. Once they are found, They go through various processes Of cleaning, washing and cutting To bring out the brilliance in the stone. Once the diamond is ready, It then only becomes ready To be adorned as a piece of jewelry. In the same way, you too are a diamond. Your divinity is present, But it is covered with all the dirt and impurities, You have accumulated over it. It is only when you start the cleansing process, The divinity within gives a peep of its brilliance. The more the purifying, the more the light emerges. And when in the end, you become the light, You merge into the bigger light And shine within it forever.
From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan June 21 Banks help you to keep your money safe when you deposit it with them. They are happy to receive it and allow you to make use of it when in need. They can however help you only during times of worldly distress. There is another bank, which receives deposits and maintains accounts strictly confidentially. Every time sum is entered and accounted for - deeds, thoughts, words, good, bad and indifferent. Like the bank that takes care of your worldly wealth, this one cares for your spiritual wealth. Open a deposit account here for your prosperity here and hereafter. That deposit, growing by your spiritual efforts, will give you joy and peace.
