Sanctify the New Year



"Therefore, O Embodiments of Divine love! Recognise that the Samvatsara (new year) connotes God who bears several appellations relating to Time. Sanctify the new year by engaging yourselves in pure, selfless and ennobling activities. As far as possible, avoid causing harm or pain to others. As you sow, so you reap. Whenever you feel disturbed by a sense of anger, envy, pride, jealousy and the like, be alert and resort to the contemplation of the Lord."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(New Year message to a vast gathering of devotees in Prashaanthi Mandir on 1-1-1991)
