Reflection [Thursday - Baba's Day]

Aum Sairam

May This Thursday [Baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Goodluck, Success, Happiness And Joy.

It is that time of the year when gains and losses of the year gone by are calculated and expectations for the year to come are

made. In short it is time for reflections and resolutions. Calculating ones material gains or losses is mandatory by law for many

as they have to file their returns. What about the spiritual side? Focusing on spiritual part of the life and spiritual evolution

is as important as or rather more important than other issues. Spiritual life is not different than the daily life one leads. It is

an integral part of the person. Any spiritual evolution of the soul has a direct bearing on the daily life of the individual.

Delaying or avoiding contemplating on the teachings of the perfect masters and other saints only makes one more miserable as

advances in age. Even though one is born with the inherent knowledge of the truth as the scriptures declare, one is shrouded by

many layers of ignorance that have to be peeled off before one can discover the truth within them. The role of the teacher in

helping one understand their ignorance is very clearly depicted in Shri Sai Satcharitra. It is by contemplating; understanding and

then implementing the teachings of the perfect master that one slowly advances in small steps towards their own evolution. And when

one starts to implement and incorporate the teachings without any effort it becomes second nature as with any other thing. It is

through a series of such small steps probably made during many lives under the guidance of the perfect master that the soul

eventually walks on the path towards the ultimate truth that is the true home of each and every one. So while reflecting on all

other things, do spend some time This Beautiful Thursday [Baba's Day] in reflecting on the teachings of Sri Sainath presented in

Shri Sai Satcharitra too as it will bring you long lasting happiness.
