We think that we have surrendered our mind and body to the Lord. Your mind is not under your own control, how then can you hold it and give it to the Lord? You have no control over your own body too. So to say that you have surrendered your mind and body to the Lord is untrue! The flute is a very good example of an instrument close to the Lord and the one great quality in the flute is its complete surrender. There is nothing left inside the flute – it has no residual desires and is completely hollow. Like the flute has nine holes, our body also has nine holes. If we successfully remove the pulp of desire from our body, then there is no doubt that our body-flute will also become nearer and dearer to the Lord. (Summer Showers in Brindavan 1974, Vol 1, Ch 3) <http://www.saibabaofindia.com/Sai-Baba-Thought-for-the-day-as-written-at-Prasanthi-Nilayam-today.htm> BABADescription: Sathya Sai Baba online Resource, Info, Books, Sai centres, mantras, Miracles, Bhajans, Letters from Sai Baba, Sai Meditation, Sai Baba Prophesies & more -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
