DIVINE DISCOURSE - SRI SAI BABA


Riches melt away only when you spend them. But the span of years you can live on earth is shortened every moment, whether you like it or not.


Therefore, you must feel an urgency in accomplishing great tasks in life. The intellect is a special gift that has been offered to you, so you may know yourself.


Like the mirror is used to look at your face and set right your blemishes, use the intellect to discharge your duties in life perfectly.

STRONG MAN





The strong man is not the good wrestler

The strong man is only the one

Who CONTROLS himself

When he is ANGRY
