'TRANSCEND THE BARRIERS

Dashhara stands not merely for going beyond the limits of terri­tory and a commemoration of victory of Ramachandra over Ravana. It stands much more for transcending barriers of our petty self, our ignorance, our divisions and conflicts,  our untouchability, crime, class struggles, religious prejudices — one and all!!    One and all we have to transcend — the fetters which we have to cross, to dissolve in our efforts to be Free Men ! The symbolic meaning of this victory over our shallowness, our narrowness is to be realized today, more than at any other time! Victory over evil which is within us primarily and as a reflection in the outward relationship is to be attained. Let us bind our self to a pledge as Sai-devotees that we will ever go beyond our barriers; that we will enter the realm of light — we will be light to ourselves and also to those around us.
