Sai Inspires 20th January 2009


The tongue has oil, fat and greasy substances rolling over it; but it is unaffected by these. It does not become greasy or oily. So too, the mind must be unaffected by the experiences of success and failure, of gain and loss, of well-being and illness. It must be wholly surrendered at the Feet of the Lord. Just close your eyes for five minutes and think of the profits and losses your efforts have won for you. Why worry? Surrender your everything to Him and let His will prevail.

Pada lidah terdapat minyak, lemak dan zat-zat licin yang terhampar di permukaannya, namun lidah tidak terpengaruh. Lidah tidak menjadi licin atau berminyak. Demikian juga, pikiran haruslah tidak terpengaruh oleh pengalaman-pengalaman keberhasilan dan kegagalan, keuntungan dan kerugian, sehat dan sakit. Pikiran harus seluruhnya pasrah di Kaki Tuhan. Tutuplah matamu untuk lima menit dan pikirkan tentang keuntungan dan kerugian yang telah engkau dapatkan melalui usaha-usahamu. Mengapa khawatir? Pasrahkanlah semuanya pada Tuhan dan biarkan kehendakNya terwujud.

- Divine Discourse, Mar 3, 1965.
