Strive only for the Eternal

My Dear Boys,

Why not be more concerned with what lasts forever, what is permanent and eternal? Why not care more for that than fleeting relations? Why not think of the eternal, permanent reality with which you cannot part? And why try to sacrifice the permanent reality, the eternal eternity? Why sacrifice that for fleeting, impermanent relations?

My boys, if you fail a thousand times, make one more attempt. The ideal of men is to see God in everything. But if you cannot see Him in everything, see Him in one thing, in that which you like best and then see Him in another. So on you can go. There is infinite life before the soul. Take your time and you will achieve your end.

Sai is always with, in and around you. Be happy.

With love and blessings,

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
