Sai Inspires - 31st March 2008 ( What is the ultimate destination for everyone in this world?)

However high a bird may soar, it sooner or later must perch on a tree-top to rest and enjoy some quietness. So too, a day will come when even the most haughty, the most willful, the most unbelieving; even those who assert that there is no joy or peace in Contemplation of the Highest Self, will have to pray, "God, grant me peace, grant me consolation, grant me joy."

Walau seberapa tingginya seekor burung terbang, cepat atau lambat, ia harus hinggap di atas pohon agar dapat beristirahat dan menikmati ketenangan sesaat. Demikian pula, suatu hari kelak, bahkan mereka yang tidak berkeyakinan; yakni mereka yang mengklaim bahwa tiada kegembiraan ataupun kedamaian yang bisa dicapai melalui kontemplasi terhadap Higher Self (Atma), orang-orang seperti ini nantinya justru akan berdoa, "Oh Tuhan, anugerahilah aku kedamaian, hiburlan dan berikanlah kegembiraan kepadaku."

- Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. 1, Pg. 18.
