Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam October 19, 2015

Why should we persist in holding on to noble practices, even though it is

extremely difficult in the beginning? Bhagawan gives us valuable tips through
memorable examples.

When people are asked to do spiritually salutary acts, initially no

one has any inner urge. Still don't give up in despair. Until the
taste sprouts, strictly follow the disciplines. This taste is a result
of training. No one has it from the very beginning, but constant
practice will create the zest. The infant doesn't know the taste of
milk. By taking milk daily, it starts liking it; in fact the taste
becomes so dear that when milk is to be given up to be
substituted with rice, it starts to protest. But the mother doesn't
despair; she persuades the child to take small quantities of
cooked rice daily, and over time the child starts liking rice and
eventually gives up milk. Milk, its natural food, is now replaced
with rice again in a natural way. Indeed now if no rice is available
for one day, the child becomes miserable. Similarly with constant
practice, the desire for worldly and sensual objects and matters,
will wane and good company (Satsang) will prevail.
- Bhagavatha Vahini, Ch 1.

Just as fire is needed until rice is cooked, so also spiritual practices are needed until you realize your
innate Divinity. Baba
