Sai Temple Text-Golden Smart Choices
Sairam my teenage love bugs,
We must remember and realize the truth that our happiness and well-being is dependent on the choices good and bad that we make in life. We are responsible for the decisions we make and the consequential outcomes. We may have horoscopes done and consult astrologists but these are just blueprints for our potential and possibilities.
Our choices, free will, and God's grace ultimately determine what we will experience painful or pleasant.
"Swami says the present is the product of the past and the parent of the future" - Sathya Sai Baba.
Discrimination is so important, following the promptings of your conscience and using discrimination will help you make good choices.
For instance, when I was younger I ate tons of candy, ice cream, pastries, etc. This poor choice led to me developing low blood sugar and as a result I suffered from the negative symptoms of this condition.
But then I made the good choice of correcting my diet and started adding healthy, nutritious foods to my regimen. Which of course, made a positive difference in my life. I lost weight, my blood sugar was more stable, and other beneficial results.
In order to make good, sound choices we should take care of our health: eat nourishing food, get adequate rest and sleep, and plenty of invigorating exercise.
There's nothing more important than maintaining a strong, intimate connection to God through prayer and meditation.
No matter what happens in this world, God, the Supreme energy, Universal Self is always with us supporting and giving us the strength we need to carry on.
Love,
Granny
