After some years, Baba started cooking the food in the Masjid. The whole food was collected and kept in a Kundi (a vessel of clay) from where anybody including the dogs, cats, crows, etc.

– Divine Discourse, Feb 26, 1961.Sri Sai Baba used to have very little food, which he got from the two or three regular houses he used to visit for Bhi ksha.

The physical sheath (annamaya kosa) must be purified by good, clean, pure food the vital sheath (pranamaya kosa) by calm, steady breathing and an equanimous temper the mental sheath (manomaya kosa) by holy thoughts and emotions, untouched by attachment to senses or unaffected by joy or grief the wisdom sheath (vijnanamaya kosa) by contemplation of the reality and the bliss sheath (anandamaya kosa) by getting immersed in the ecstasy of God-realisation. Have a sense of values, rather a scale of values give everything, everyone, its worth or their worth, not a whit more.įive sheaths encase the Atma and hide its splendour from revealing itself. On the other hand, they will shine better with added splendour.

Sharing will not diminish them or devalue them. the ideas and ideals you have benefited from, and the joy you have won by discipline and dedication. Share with others the knowledge and skills you have earned. But it can be overcome by steady determination. Though one is aware that a step is wrong, selfishness does not allow him to desist. Selfishness is the canker that destroys charity.

Give in plenty, give gladly, give for the glory of God, and. Sacrifice ( Tyaga) is recommended by the Vedas as the only path to immortality. So, man need only explore within himself for infinite bliss.īliss has to be sought not through accumulation but through sacrifice and promotion of the welfare of others. Man is enclosed in five sheaths: the physical, vital, mental, intellectual and blissful the last, blissful is the core.
