Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - June 18, 2025
Narration

Original
What is the most important virtue the youth have to practice? Bhagawan explains and enthuses the youth to lead meaningful lives.
Man is born to manifest and reflect Divinity. All constituents of nature reflect their inherent qualities. Man also has to do so, but is not reflecting his innate human quality. Everyone should consider devotion and discipline as of the utmost importance — duty comes only next to these two. You, the youth, are intrinsically very good. But you lack discipline. You should observe good discipline. You should not waste time, which is precious and sacred. How should you utilise the time usefully? You have to follow the ideal path reflecting sacred human values. Not only that, you should also inspire and encourage others to follow a disciplined life. Every second is valuable and should be used well. Character is the most important life principle to be imbibed. This is the golden period in your life, and if you spoil this fine opportunity in careless living, your future will be ruined. The sapling has to be tended very carefully, so that it can grow into a mighty tree in the right manner and serve the people well.
- Divine Discourse, July 19, 1997.

One may have enormous wealth, high education, immense physical prowess or high status, but all these are useless if one lacks character. – BABA
