Use every waking moment to fulfill duty. Your worship lies in duty. God Himself is duty ! Do not waste time sleeping all night, And then again, sleeping during your waking state. Laziness prompts you away from duty. Laziness stirs you away from serving. When the mind is asleep, unaware of the self, The body also begins to lose function. Be strong and fight the mind! Awaken the body. Complete all your given tasks. Make this your daily prayer. Make this the way to love God. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan There was once a Yogi who had a bad attack of gastritis. He asked the advice of his comrades and co-aspirants who gathered around him. What would they recommend as treatment? One man suggested that he should hold some salt in his mouth and swallow the saline saliva. He took the advice and kept a constant supply of salt in his mouth. A few days later, he brought out his bag of sweets to treat the children in the ashram with some candy. Regardless of which sweetmeat he put in his mouth, however, it wasn't sweet enough. At last a candy vendor told him the problem existed in his mouth. He needed to rinse his mouth out well and then gargle with fresh water, wash his mouth out well and only then taste the sweets. When he had done this, the sweets tasted good again. With all this taste on your tongue accumulated through many births, how can you discover the true sweetness of the Lord?
