Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam December 15, 2015

How do we counter the pulls of the Gunas or qualities of passion and dullness?
Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.
As your day progresses, as one enters the field of daily work and
toil, you are infused with the passionate
quality (rajoguna). Before you take your lunch, meditate on the
Lord again and dedicate the work, and the fruit derived from it to
the Lord Himself. Start eating only after this act of devotion and
grateful remembrance. This is the meaning of
the noon (maadhyannika) worship. By observing this ritual,
passion is kept in check and is overpowered by the satwic
nature. During the day, people are possessed by a third nature,
tamas or dullness. When evening descends, one hurries home,
eats ones fill, and is overpowered by sleep. But a duty still
remains. To eat and sleep is the fate of idlers and drones. When
the worst of the qualities, tamas threatens to rule, one must make
a special effort to escape its coils by resorting to prayer in the
company of those who extol the Lord, reading about the glory of
God, the cultivation of good virtues, and the purposeful nursing of
good rules of conduct. This is the prescribed evening
worship(sandhyavandana).
- Dharma Vahini, Ch 7

Prayer alone makes life happy, harmonious and worth living in this universe. Baba
