Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam -

February 21, 2017

Why is it very important for elders and parents to walk the talk in the spiritual path?
Bhagawan lovingly underscores its importance to us today.

For the wisdom of the ancient sages to dawn on every individual

when they most need it, elders must set an example of
discrimination (Viveka) and detachment (Vairagya). If they run after
sensory pleasures with feverish excitement, how can the younger
generation be blamed for their selfishness and greed? Elders must
practice what they preach, show how divine life confers joy, mental
poise, contentment and real happiness. They must spend some
time every day in reciting the Lords name or in meditation, then
the children too will imbibe that and acquire the means to attain
peace for themselves. People say that there is nothing as sweet as
the name of the Lord, but do not repeat it at all. The road is spoilt
by neglect and wanton destruction, but they advise the children to
walk along it. They will discover the hoax. As a matter of fact, the
responsibility of any person who holds forth an ideal is great, for
the person has to attempt to reach it oneself while advising others
to adopt it.

- Divine Discourse, Dec 14, 1958.

Do not indulge in Namasmarana as a pastime or a fashion or a passing phase, or as an

unpleasant part of an imposed time table, or as a bitter quota to be fulfilled each day.
Baba
