I have given each one of you a duty.
A duty to perform in My presence, A duty which must be dedicated with love. With no conditions, But in the light of selflessness. Each one of you comes to this world, To carry out your worldly tasks. Learn to do them without complaints. Learn to accept and appreciate your situation. Make every action an offering at my feet. Make every moment of your life a prayer. O Sai Mother, this life is your treasure I will use this gift of love, To complete all your given tasks. Use this life as your instrument, To fulfill the lives of all with pure love, A love of yours that makes Me "You", And a life that will complete its mission, Of coming back to you. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan There was once a notorious thief who had served his jail sentence and was informed that he was scheduled for release the next day. He was instructed to pack all his belongings and be prepared for discharge. The thief responded that that was not necessary, that he may as well leave his belongings in the jail house, since he expected to return there soon. Although he spent an extended time in the prison, he did not realize that he must not return to the jail. He continually committed wrong and kept returning to that place. Man takes birth, wastes his life on useless things, takes birth again and again and repeats the same cycle. It is like committing theft again and again and repeatedly going back to prison.
