In the beginning you can think, "The world is like a stage. I am only an actor. God is the director. All are His instruments, all are just acยญtors. He is directing everything." But do not always remain at that level. Move on. Think, "I am the unยญchanging Atma, not this changing personality and body."
Sathya Sai BabaYou cannot be fresh and feeling fine, wearing a washed vest under an unwashed shirt; or, an unwashed vest over a washed shirt. Both have to be clean, to provide a sense of tingling joy. So too outer and inner cleanliness is but the reflection of the inner achievement.
Sathya Sai BabaA person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste.
