A disease in the body
Is the result of mind in chaos. A body is a temple in which God resides. The body is a manifestation of the soul. It is a vehicle that reaches you To Vishnu Pada (Vishnu's feet). When the mind gets agitated, You begin to lose God within. The body automatically starts to lose function. This is a hindrance in your spiritual progress. Life is precious. It is a gift of God, Given to realize His omnipresence Within you and all around. Value this gift and treat it with respect. Firstly, it is important to develop strong faith in God. Your dependence must be God and no other. Secondly, you need a strong will To overcome temptations, Any temptations that will agitate the mind Or inflict pain in the body. Thirdly develop a pure heart of love. You must think in the best interest of all around. Fourth, you must stop wasting time. Utilize time only to see and feel God at all times. Fifth, you must stop worrying. Why worry when God is the doer. Surrender! Surrender! Sixth, give up anger. Anger is the disease of the mind, Fire that will only consume you. Seventh, have no desires, Except that of being with God. Desires are the roots of a restless mind. Eighth, have no thoughts. When all is God, all is His will, Why think, just do! Ninth, offer God every moment pure sincere love. He is Himself enslaved by your true devotion. Be persistent and God will shower His Grace. With this Grace, there will be no mind, No body consciousness, no ego, Only Atma and Paramatma. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan When you eat a banana, you have to first peel off the skin before you reach the sweet substance. To be received and accepted by God, the bitter skin of egotism and power-mania has first to be removed. Ignorance, illusion and pride are all components of the skin. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
