Grace of the Lord

If you win the grace of the Lord, even the decree of destiny can be overcome. When a bottle of medicine is purchased, on the label is a date, printed by the drug manufacturer that indicates its expiration. The drug loses its efficacy beyond that date. Although the drug remains in the bottle, it will no longer be effective. Similarly, the grace of God can work like an expiration date and make the effects of destiny ineffective. God's grace cannot be had by one who is wavering from moment to moment and whose heart is not pure. Even if you do not practise worship or meditation, it is enough if you have cleansed your heart. The Divine will then enter it. -SAI BABA

Yoga and content

A yoga class which gives instructions on asana /pranayama practise is like a tree sans roots. A class on yoga is complete only if satsang is held-not teachings on how we learnt to turn the liver in the asana or how quiet we were in the asana. Satsang promotes holy thoughts and one must depart from the class with such thoughts, foster them to be with us as long as possible.
