Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Do not be obsessed by the importance of wealth.
|
Do not belittle any religion or give predominance to any religion.
|
Do not consider any act of service as demeaning. Sweeping the streets, for example, is not below your dignity. Do you not sweep the floor of your homes? Do you not scrub and wash off dirt? When you undertake such tasks, the villagers will also gladly share in them. Why feel ashamed to be good? The ridicule that may be cast on you has been the reward of many saints. It will soon fade away. Muhammad was driven out of Mecca by those who could not appreciate his teachings. Jesus was crucified. But their names resound in the heart of millions.
|
Do not contemplate on death; it is just an incident in life; contemplate on God, who is the master of all life.
|
Do not crave for recognition and respect from others; crave rather for winning grace from the Lord.
|
Do not damage your mental peace by receiving the letter and reading the contents. Refuse to receive it. You have a chance of correcting the wrong-doers too; accept it and join the gang of mischief-makers. So be warned!
|
Do not depend on others to serve your personal needs; become your own servant before proceeding to serve others.
|
Do not develop jealousy, hatred or envy on any count.
|
Do not differentiate on the basis of race, caste, creed, or country.
|
Do not exaggerate the faults of others, but give them a wide margin and see them as small; exaggerate yours, see them big and strive to remove them fast.
|
Do not fight with anyone, nor retaliate, nor slander anyone.
|
Do not get attached to worldly things and pursuits. Be in the world, but do not let the world be in you.
|
Do not have any misunderstanding amongst you. All of you should live in amity as the children of one mother.
|
Do not kick against the pricks of life.
|
Do not shout to a person standing far; go near him or beckon to him to approach you. Loud noise is sacrilege on the sky, just as there are sacrilegious uses of earth and of water.
