THE ONLY DISCIPLINE I WANT FROM MY LOVERS

 
Spiritual Training is an inner discipline which means that you discipline yourself, rather than being disciplined from outside yourself, the way a parent does a child....

One letter came to Baba, the writer wondering how Baba lovers should behave at a particular Baba Centre.

Baba asked me to reply, "However you behave before Me, behave like that, wherever you are. This is the only discipline I want from My lovers. Do not think that I am absent. I am present everywhere, and therefore, behave with that certainty. Never think that I am absent. I am always present.

"When you backbite, know well that I am present there. When you say something against someone because of jealousy, know well that I am present there. Whatever act you perform, know well that I am present there. So do not do anything without thinking that I am present there. Know well, that nothing remains hidden from Me. And therefore, always behave with each other in a way that pleases Me.

"That is the best discipline for you to maintain."
