Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 23, 2025
Narration

His Voice
Original
How should we approach this journey of life? What is it we must strive for? Bhagawan clearly explains and enthuses us to face life with courage and purpose.
The body is prakriti (Nature). We should not submit ourselves to the body. We have to control it. If you control the body, the mind will also be controlled, and you will have the vision of the Atma (the true Self). You have all three natures - human, animal and demonic, present in the human heart. Hence, to lead a life of a human, you must unify all three. Gradually, retaining the principles of the Atma and the mind, you should give up attachment to the body. Then the animal nature will leave you. Then, giving up the body and the mind, you must foster only the principle of the Atma. Then our nature will become divine. You must have full faith that everything is Divine Will, Divine Command and Divine Order. You must resist all challenges and play the game of life and come out victorious. Life is a challenge, meet it; life is a game, play it; life is love, enjoy it; life is a dream, realise it. Do not be discouraged by obstacles. Never give up your efforts, nor even slacken. When you resist all the challenges of life, you will attain Divinity. Never give scope for doubts. If doubts come, it will lead to confusion. Once there is confusion, the heart’s fuse will go! So don't give scope for that.

That which destroys man’s animal nature, nurtures humanness, and finally transforms him into a Divine being is spirituality. – BABA
