HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!

God's Grace is as the shower of rain, as the sunlight. You have to do some Sadhana (spiritual practice) to acquire it, the Sadhana of keeping a pot upright to receive the rain, the Sadhana of opening the door of your heart, so that the Sun may illumine it. Like the music that is broadcast over the radio, it is all round you; but you must switch on your receiver and tune the identical wave-length so that you can hear it and enjoy it. Pray for Grace; but do at least this little Sadhana. Grace will set everything right. Its main consequence is Atma Sakshatkara (Self-realisation); but there are other incidental benefits too, like a happy contented life here below, and a cool courageous temper, established in unruffled Shanti (peace).

I bless you that the New Year may endow you with devotion and sweet spiritual experiences.

Today's task for you is to discover the one column that supports all spiritual success. I shall tell you what that is: Love, adore, serve the Sarveshwara (Almighty Lord) who is resident in all mankind; through that Love, adoration and service, realise Him. That is the highest

Sadhana. Serve man as God. Give food to the hungry, food that is the gift of Goddess Nature (Annapoorna); give it with love and humility. Give it, sweetened with the name of the Lord.

Divine Discourse at Venkatagiri on New Year Day (Ugadi) – March 29, 1968

Embodiments of Love! I bless you all so that you may lead your lives with peace, prosperity and happiness.

– Baba
