Lotus Feet

Body comes from the food eaten by parents. Food comes from the dust of this earth.
The Divine Lord Sai has breathed life into this piece of dust that you now call body. Without the Lord’s divine energy, you would still be a piece of dust.
When you feel vanity, tell this to your body,
I am a piece of dust, breathed into life by Your Divine Lotus Feet stepping on me.
What do I owe You? How can I measure my debt? Never can I repay You. It’s impossible!
I walk, talk, think, act, play, laugh, and enjoy—all with Your divine consciousness.

Now here’s the sad part.
Some human beings—former pieces of dust—claim superiority over others
Based on status in society, wealth, nationality, looks, scholarship, titles, etc.
They even get angry with God for not meeting all their unlimited demands.
Drunk with ego, they say, We are self sufficient, intelligent, popular, powerful, and wealthy.
Why should we be humble, why bend our superior heads to the Divine Lotus Feet?
They don’t realize that someday their bodies will again become silent pieces of dust
With no possessions, trappings of power, ego, or sense of superiority.
So be humble, hollow like a flute, surrendered at the Lotus Feet of Sai Krishna,
Feel His divine breath of love and wisdom, and merge into ananda, pure delight, bliss

BLISS means Baba’s Love Is So Sweet
Build a bridge from the innermost core of your being to the Lotus Feet of Sai Krishna,
Send the pure, empty vehicle of humility, and receive in return truckloads of divine love.
Identify EGO with atma instead of mind, so EGO becomes Enjoy God Only.
Unlike the temporal world, in the spiritual world you win by surrendering, you win by losing.
Surrender the limited self, win cosmic self, lose identification with form, win immortality.
My humble salutations at the Divine Lotus Feet of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
How can I ever repay you? It’s impossible.
Me, a piece of dust animated by your divine consciousness.
