Don't worry
If the mind begins to sway again
It is it's nature....
Say not to Me,
"How many times
O Lord do I have to fight?"
With the end of every fight will begin the next-
You will simply have to give up
The unrealistic goal that the mind
is in your complete control...
Until the very end
Your devotion for Me
will have to fight
Your attraction to the outside-
As your devotion for Me will increase
will increase your faith in your Self
will rise and with that
the fight between the mind
and the conscience
Will continue
but you will be drowning
in My love for you
and yours for Me...
The fight then
will not be stressful anymore
It will become your nature
And you shall know not
The effort needed
To keep the external enemies away!
From: Sai Darshan Part 2 - by Seema Dewan
December 1
A bumble bee, though small, can bore through the toughest timber. The same
bumble bee settles at sunset on a lotus flower, drinks the intoxicating nectar,
and falls into a stupor, overwhelmed by the elixir. While it is still on the
task, the sun sets and the petals close in. The bee is imprisoned in the
softness, with no strength to bore through the tender, velvety veil.
Let the mind imbibe the nectar of the Name, let it taste the elixir of the
Lotus Feet of the Lord, it will be incapacitated, rendered ineffective and
incapable of harm.
Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol.8 pg. 127
