Spiritual Blossoms

[fatima]

No amount of money can procure the bliss that you attain by serving others. Money comes and goes, but morality comes and grows. There have been many men of affluence in this land, but what happened to them ultimately? They had to leave the world empty-handed. No one can carry e.en a fistful of dust at the time of departing from the world. Otherwise, there would have been rationing even for dust in the country! When you leave the body, you carry with you only the good and bad that you have done in your life.

Anand means bliss, giri means mountain -- a bliss mountain.

And bliss has something to do with height, with plenitude.  It takes you to the peaks, it takes you to the ultimate plenitude, beyond which one cannot go.

Bliss is the omega point, and everybody is seeking that peak.  Sometimes one may be seeking a wrong way, may be moving in a cul-de-sac or may be thinking that one is going up and is actually going down, but still the unconscious desire is for the peak.  One who is going deeper into the dark valley, even he is searching for that bliss.  He is not going into the valley deliberately. He is misguided, he is confused, but as far as his longing is concerned, it is the same.

The sinner and the saint, both are searching for bliss; the poor and the rich, the respected and the condemned, the famous and the non-famous -- their humanity is one. At that point all human beings have the same heart.'Then there is nobody who is rich and nobody who is poor, and nobody is a sinner and nobody is a saint, nobody is American and nobody is Indian, nobody is Chinese, nobody black, nobody white, because the greatest desire and the deepest desire is the same. There we exist as human beings, not even man and woman; we exist just as human beings.  And if you look deep into reality you will see that it is not so only of human beings, because trees and birds and animals and rocks are also searching.

.. in their own way.  Everybody is groping in the dark but the longing is the same, the dream is the same.

And bliss is like a mountain: the higher you go, the more pure air becomes available. And one cannot go very fast; one has to get accustomed to the purified atmosphere, because we live in pollution, we live in heavy dust; we are accustomed to darkness. So those peaks are dizzying too; the higher the flight, the more the dizzying. One has to go very slowly so that one becomes accustomed to each step and each step leads to a higher step.

Your growth will be very very slow.  And it is good. Never imitate anybody, never think that the other is going very fast. Keep to your pace, be true to your pace.  There are slow-growing trees and fast-growing trees. The slow-growing trees cannot move with the fast-growing trees.

Everybody is so individual that it is difficult even to find a single other person who is exactly like you.
So remember that: never imitate.  Just look inside, listen to your own heart, and always go with your own heart, howsoever long it takes.

अपना सांई प्यारा सांई सबसे न्यारा अपना सांई

ॐ सांई राम।।।

A step towards God makes God take a Thousand steps towards you.

A complete surrender without reserve is the highest form of worship


pleasure and pain depends upon one's attitude
