Sai Inspires - June 18, 2011

Do not crave for the fruit the moment the sapling is planted! Do not pluck and chew the leaves and the twigs in the hope of inferring the taste of the fruit. If you do so, you cannot enjoy the sweetness of the fruit; besides, the plant itself will not survive. Similarly, your task is simply to cultivate the sapling called Nama (Name of God). While doing so, do not doubt and examine whether it has the glory ascribed to it. Without fail, that sapling will grow into a tree and give you the fruit you hope to eat. You can achieve it! Steadfastly believe that the Name is capable of yielding that fruit.

- Dhyana Vahini, Chap 8: "One Pointedness is Essential for Meditation"

Just as fire is needed till the rice is cooked,
so also spiritual practices are needed till you realise your innate divinity. – Baba
