Om Sai Shakti dear Premaswaroopa Family,trust you all are well. Today...... What does our Loving Swami say about Marriage? SATHYA SAI SPEAKS ON… First you must understand each other. After that adjustment will be easy. First understanding. Second adjustment. Ninety percent of the people try adjustment first. This is the wrong way. First understanding. Sometimes, it is natural for you to have anger, ego, temper, tension. You must have adjustment and understanding. Life is like a ring. The ring is the heart; when that is given, the gift is the heart itself. That is the sacred bond. Selflessness is God. The self which is selfless is God. To feel ‘mine’ and ‘thine’ is ego. Ego is very harmful. It is to kill the ego that two souls are brought together. They can learn to adjust to one another and forget their egos. Marriage means your life, a whole lifetime together, not just a few days or a few weeks, or a few years. Marriage is a training ground for fostering trans-sensual love. Today people are not making any effort to understand this principle of love. It is only the power of love that can nullify a curse of a sin. It is only love that can remove all the bitter feelings and enhance the sweetness of life. Today we find elaborate arrangements and gala celebrations in marriage functions. One is filled with joy when one gets married, but one does not realize that the happiness of married life is but momentary. This is not true happiness. O mind, tell me what gives the real happiness? It is Divine proximity. It was lust that caused the downfall of Ravana, the one of great penance and the master of 64 types of knowledge. He not only ruined himself but his whole kingdom. Without purity of heart all the spiritual practices are of no use. Love is life for man and love is everything in this world. It is love that shines brilliantly in every individual. But man, not being able to comprehend the significance of love attributes physical relationship to it. The love of a mother towards her child is affection. The love that exists between wife and husband is infatuation. The love that exists among friends and relations is attachment. The love towards material objects is desire. Love in totality, directed towards God is known as devotion. There is nothing that love cannot achieve in this world. It can even melt the hardest of rocks. When the principle of love in every human being is unified it becomes cosmic love. Do you want to quench your thirst for love? Yearn for His grace and worship Him. In order to experience bliss, develop love more and more. The more you develop love, the more you will experience bliss. Bliss cannot be attained without love. In fact, it is love that takes the form of bliss. Women should take the correct path, then men will also follow suit, as it is the women who have to take the leading role. The wife is half of the husband; if she becomes good, then her husband, who is the other half, will also become good. Women should inculcate qualities of compassion, love and sacrifice. There is no nobler quality than sacrifice. Men do not have the same spirit of sacrifice as women. If any problem arises, men come forward with initial enthusiasm, but it is only women who resolutely fight until success is achieved. The woman should be respected as the goddess of prosperity in the home. She is the companion of her husband in the fulfillment of the duties and rights of wedded life, and she is a partner in the pilgrimage toward God and Self-realization. It does not matter, how bad or low the husband is, the wife must, through love, bring him round and correct him, and help him gain the blessings of the Lord. She who knows the mind of the husband and speaks soft and sweetly is the real friend. Why sometimes, when the wife has to point out the path of Dharma to the husband, she takes on the role even of a Father! When the husband is down with illness she is the Mother. The first title given to a woman is Grihalakshmi, the goddess of the home. A woman is expected to confer all prosperity, honor and good name on the home and the family. She is characterized as Goddess of the home and not Goddess of the Office....Grihalakshmi; not Office-lakshmi. Another title for a woman is, ‘The better half’. This means she is the better half of the husband and not a partner in his job. May our Beloved Baba continue to shower his richest blessings on one of the most beautiful and sacred bonds of life Jai Sai Ram Yours in Divine Sai Service Sersh
