SATHYA SAI SPEAKS VOL - 2 / 1961 - 1962 Use the body well for the purpose given Jeeva (individual) and Deva (Divine) are the two rails along which the engine manas is dragging the coaches of Vishaya Vaasana (attachment to sense objects) along. Each coach contains the items of luggage each one has, viz., buddhi, antahkarana (intellect, inner senses), etc. Aathma is the driver of the engine; if the coupling with the engine is not well connected, the coaches will be left loose on the line. Faith and shraddha (trust) are the couplings; see that they are fixed tight. They do not fix themselves, remember. You have to use the strength and the intellect awarded to you. Grace will be granted only then. Spend the Shakthi (energy) you are endowed with; then pray for Raamashakthi. Raama or the Lord will then bless you; if you ask for one, He will grant you a hundred. This is the Karmadeha (the working body) given to you; use it well for the purpose given. I see many people here who have come in the special buses which take them round to many holy places. I shall tell them mine words: When you reach a holy place you should entertain only holy thought. On seeing a doctor, you remember your illness; when you see a lawyer, you wish to consult him on some problem of property or personal spite; when you see a temple, you are reminded of the Force that animates the universe. Your tour should not be a Vinodha-prayaana (travel for amusement) but a Viveka-prayaana (travel for using discrimination) for you. Do not use such pilgrim buses for going on picnics; do not seek to purchase vessels and clothes and rarities in the shops of the towns you visit; pay attention more to the need for filling your minds with holy experiences over which you can ruminate after returning to the quiet of your home. When you are in the Kshethra (holy place), think of the Kshethrajna (divine dweller of the place).
