Sai Inspires 6th May 2008 (Who are our two mothers? And how should we take care of them?)

Remember that you have two mothers: the Dhesha-maatha (the mother country) and Dheha-maatha (the mother who gave the body). If you do not have a sterling character, the mother country is thrown into grief. If you do not have love and gratitude, the mother is thrown into grief. When both are happy through you...Your life is then indeed blessed.

Ingatlah bahwa engkau mempunyai dua ibu, yaitu: Dhesha-maatha (ibu pertiwi) dan Dheha-maatha (sang ibu yang memberimu badan jasmani). Jikalu engkau tak memiliki karakter yang mulia, maka ibu pertiwimu akan terperosok dalam penderitaan. Jikalau engkau tak memiliki cinta-kasih dan perasaan bersyukur, maka ibumu juga akan mengalami penderitaan. Apabila kedua ibumu berbahagia oleh karena perbuatanmu.... maka kehidupanmu betul-betul sangat diberkati.
