Conquering the Mind

From:

Sri Sathya Sai

My Dear Child,

I received your letter. I am very happy. How is your health? The secret of perfect health lies in keeping the mind always cheerful, never worried, never hurried, never borne down by any fear, thought or anxiety. Have all your attachment severed from every object and concentrate yourself on one thing—the one fact, one truth—Your Divinity. Immediately, on the spot, you gain realization. Nothing is done in a day. Religion cannot be swallowed in the form of a pill. It requires hard and constant practice. The mind can be conquered only by slow and steady practice.

Moderation in temper is virtue. Moderation in principle is a vice. Impurity is a mere superimposition under which the real nature of man has been hidden.

My dear! You are the embodiment of God. Fill yourselves with the thought of your almightiness, your majesty and your glory. Open the gates of wisdom and let enter the abode of bliss. Rest in peace forever. Give My blessings to all your family members. I am always in you, with you.

With Love,

Baba
