RELAXED HOURS
There was a man, who once went to the ocean for a bath; but instead of
taking the bath he sat there for hours together on the sandy beach. Others
enquired of him, “What is the matter ? You have come since early morning,
and still you are sitting without taking bath, gazing towards the ocean?
Now the sun has come on the zenith. When will you take bath, my friend ?”
The man replied, “Let the waves that are coming one after the other stop.
Then I shall take bath.”

Are these waves going to stop for this gentleman? It is his ignorance.

The same phenomenon is applicable to our life too.

This world is an ocean. The waves of sorrow, difficulties and worries are
going to come one after the other. There is no end to that. They will
continue to come during the whole of our life — from birth to death. No
favourable time is going to come. Favourable and unfavourable are mere
reflections of our mind. If we think unfavourably, everything is
unfavourable for us all the time and vice versa. The man could not take a
bath for want of a quiet ocean. We shall also miss the opportunity of
‘namasmaran’ for want of mental peace and internal tranquility.

Adopt the sadhana of ‘namasmaran’ to obtain mental peace —just from this
very moment Shri Sai will bless your life!
