Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam November 13, 2015

What should be the attitude and approach of a spiritual aspirant? Bhagawan

lovingly explains with a simple example
The farmer ignores food and sleep, and focusses on
ploughing, levelling, scattering seeds, watering, weeding,
guarding and fostering crops. He knows that the harvest he
brings home is critical for his familys subsistence and if he
fritters away the precious season in idle pursuits, his family
will be confronted with hunger and ill-health. So he prioritises
all his attention on farming alone and defers all other pursuits.
He bears all difficulties and deprivations, and toils day and
night, watches over the crops and garners the grain. As a
result, he happily spends the months ahead, in peace and joy
with his family. All students and spiritual seekers must learn
this lesson from the farmer. Youth is the prime season for
mental culture. Use these years intensively and intelligently
for your progress irrespective of difficulties and overcome
every obstacle. Silence the clamour of your senses, and
control hunger and thirst; the urge to sleep and relax also be
curbed until spiritual harvest is obtained.
- Divine Discourse, Oct 26, 1981

Indulgence in petty pleasure, flimsy gossip, feast and festivity, and idleness and sleep, makes you
unfit to receive or retain spiritual wisdom. Baba
