The one who is filled with love has great peace of mind, is pure at heart and is unruffled by any adverse circumstances, failures or losses. This fortitude is derived from love of the Lord, and it endows one with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates an immense internal power. Everyone has to develop this power to experience the bliss of the Self (Atma-Ananda). Love should be free from feelings of expectation of any return or reward. Love which arises out of a desire for something in return is not true love. Utterly selfless and motiveless love should be developed. This is the bounden duty of all. You should not pray to God seeking this favour or that, for your vision is limited. None of you can fathom what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie when you secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace.
(Baba - thought for the day)
We have to understand that everything Baba does is Baba's Lila. We go to Baba for that love and it results in great peace of mind. As he said before, if we go the path of 'peace', we have to understand peace to get to the experience of that love.
We are in the kitchen and the first thing we need is understanding peace.
How do we do that? We take some peace from the shelf and add some right action in the pot and some truth?
Not exactly, to understand peace, we have to accept right action first or it means, if there is no right action, there is no peace.
We have no choice about 'right action', either it is 'right' or it is 'not right' and when it is not right action, there cannot be peace. Therefore, if we want to understand or accept the path of 'peace', we have also to accept the path of right action. And if we accept the path of right action, we also have to accept the path of truth.
What does that mean?
We have to accept truth, the insight is Baba and the following step is Baba, that is truth, he is the man who is in our dreams to awake us, that is truth. Baba is not in our dreams to not awake us, that is impossible, that doesn't make sense. He is not in our dreams to fulfill our desires, because it has nothing to do with truth.
If we want that experience of 'divine love' we have to accept the path of peace, that love will not be there, if we do not accept the path of peace and go to Baba for some other reason.
If Baba looks in our dreams like a vampire, that is truth, we have to accept truth, our mind cannot change it, but it is the result of 'not right action'.
We also have to accept that there is no right action and that there is no peace, it means there is also no interest in love.
The reason for going to Baba had nothing to do with love, divinity and divine grace, it had something to do with money, following his rich boss and with wrong motivation.
If we do not go to Baba for 'love', there is no reason for going to Baba.
If we want love, we have to accept the path of peace first and we have to understand it and we have to accept the path of right action and if there was no right action, because the interest was not in love, but something else, we have nevertheless to accept truth, only that truth is not shining in a light blue color as it is with divinity, but it makes Baba look like a vampire, who is just taking advantage of everything and it makes Baba look like a long nose Baba, who is fooling everybody and there is no notion of right action and no interest in peace and no wish for 'love'.
That is a Baba Lila.
Baba is in the insight present as vampire, with two faces, the other has a very long nose and if we think it over the way Baba explains it, it does make sense. It is Baba in the dream, it is Baba who said use my words, it is Baba reflecting truth and it is Baba telling that we have to send the bill.
That is everything Baba and telling that it is 'my processing' is again going on the wrong level, blaming others for what has been done by you.
It is Baba's doing and because we have to understand peace if we go to Baba and we go to Baba because of that 'love', we also have to accept the rest, the right action and we have to accept truth.
As we go for 'love' to Baba normally and nothing else, if we do not listen to Baba and we do not accept the path of peace and we do not accept the path of right action and we do not accept the path of truth, we cannot make that experience of 'pure love'.
That is how we should listen to Baba to understand peace and to know why it is like that and not different.
Because we didn't listen, we had to get a divorce, because it is not possible on that not listening level to get to the experience of 'pure love' and that is the reason we went to Baba, at least for me it was the reason why I went to Baba.
As long as Baba was in the body, the pure love was connected by him to the tank of grace of God and the water taps and the water of love or grace of God was flowing.
But Baba has left the body and now we have to get there in our own self.
If we do not understand the path of peace and think it is possible to argue with Baba and we project the path of peace on the mind level, we are actually stupid, because Baba is never on the mind or the body level.
And if we think it is our doing or 'my doing' when it is all about Baba and we have to accept the path of peace, the path of right action and the path of truth to get to that experience of that wonderful, right and
and divine love, it is again deluded and stupid, because nothing in all of that is not Baba.
That is why it is called a Baba Lila.
Everyone has to develop this power to experience the bliss of the Self (Atma-Ananda). Love should be free from feelings of expectation of any return or reward. Love which arises out of a desire for something in return is not true love. Utterly selfless and motiveless love should be developed. This is the bounden duty of all. You should not pray to God seeking this favour or that, for your vision is limited. None of you can fathom what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie when you secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace.
We cannot develop the experience of bliss, if we are not able to accept the path of peace first and if we are not able to accept the path of right action and if we are not able to accept the path of truth.
That love can only be free from feelings of expectations of any return or rewards if we are able to accept the path of peace first.
That unterly selfless and motiveless love can only be developed, if we understand peace and are able to accept right action and are able to accept truth, only then we can get the experience of that selfless and motiveless love.
Baba tells us here that this is the boundan duty to all.
That is why we go to Sai Baba and that is why we have to understand the path of peace, to be able to experience that love.
You should not pray to God seeking this favour or that, for your vision is limited. None of you can fathom what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie when you secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace.
We should not even pray to God for that or seeing a favour of it, because it is limitting our vision.
We cannot reach the treasure-house of Divine Grace, if we don't understand peace first and are able to accept that there has to be a right action and are able to accept truth, because only when we have those three, the acceptance of the path of peace and the acceptance of the pace of right action and the acceptance of the path of truth, we are able to experience that love and only when we are able to experiece that love we can made the connection between the treasure-house of Divine Grace and the water taps we devotees are.
It is not possible for the water of divine Grace to flow if there is no connection of love between the water tap and the tank of divine Grace of God.
We cannot fathom the immensly precious, Divine and magnificent treasures when we secure the treasure-house of Divine-Grace. We cannot even ask for it, if we ask we have a limited vision.
Why a limited vision, because we have to accept the path of peace first and we have to accept the path of right action and we have to accept the path of truth and when we accept that, we will get the experience of that 'pure love', do you understand, it is not a matter of asking for it.
It is a matter of practice, we have to do it to get to that level of securing the treasure-house of the Divine Grace.
