“Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world that is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values, and false ideals. But you are not part of that world.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Sisters and brothers, you are on earth as a missionary. Seek to know your mission and ask for help to fulfill it. Bear in mind that to reach the garden, you must open the gate. Similarly, to discover who you are and why you are here, you’ll face challenges. The road is long and rocky. You may encounter all kinds of difficulties and even become the laughing stock of others. Some of you may get tired and give up. Others may fear the unknown and turn back to the middle of the road. But those who ask the divinity for guidance and assistance will discover who they are. With patience, discipline, and perseverance, there are possibilities to fulfill your mission.

Pride and arrogance impede our spiritual growth, and we must get rid of them to cultivate love and compassion better. We were all born as rough stones. To let go of the roughness and transform ourselves into divine light, we must rebuild our minds. Many people take pleasure in pride and arrogance, forgetting that we are all like card castles. The wealth that we focus all our time accumulating may vanish in a second. Instead of being too proud of these achievements, we would rather be kind in words, thoughts, and actions. Many people use all their time seeking honors, titles, and wealth ignoring their divine mission. When you share love and compassion, you feed your soul. Each one of us has a body and a soul. If you only care about your body, you fail on your mission. Make a habit of rebuilding your mind daily with prayer and meditation.

Take a habit of purifying your thoughts, words, and deeds to transform your aura into a divine Light that protects you against negative influences. The best way to do so is to give unconditional love to all. Sharing love and happiness will not shorten your life. We are like candles. If you light thousands of candles from a single one, it will still shine. When you share love, you create happiness around you and others. Share the love constantly!

Vive le Printemps and Happy New Year !

As long as we are still breathing, never lose hope. We may face financial hardship, health issues, and loneliness. We must stay confident and trust God. He creates us to develop our inner consciousness to blossom like flowers. But many of us lose confidence and, per se, lose strength. That is why Sathya Sai Baba says, “When the sun rises and shines, not all the lotus buds in the lakes and ponds bloom. Only those that are ready do. The rest have to bide their time, but all are destined to bloom. All have to fulfill that destiny. There is no need to despair.”

When you give priority to unconditional love, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Remember that the sun radiates its rays unconditionally to warm up each one of us every day. We need to share the love to follow its example. If the light in your room remains on every day and night, your room will be bright all the time. Likewise, if you open your heart to others without condition, God will always provide you with tranquility, self-assurance, peace, and happiness every day. Take the habit of sharing unconditional love to create harmony amongst us.
