TEMPLE TEXT - THE ETERNAL PATH
Happy Easter my dear teenage love bugs,
Easter is a time of renewal, renaissance, rebirth. The Goddess of Spring dances through our lives a crown of flowers encircles her celestial head. She awakens us after the cold, dark, obsidian slumber of winter. We throw off blankets of inertia and inactivity step out of our computer caves, feel the warm sunlight, emerald grass tickling our feet.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba points out that Easter not only symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His victory over death but, the union of the Master Jesus with the supreme universal consciousness, God. This is the ultimate goal of everyone.
Swami says:
"All should realize that they come 'from God'. All are children of God. Everyone should seek to get nearer and nearer to God. That is the Sadhana. You must feel that God is Hridhayavasi (dwells in the heart). You must develop compassion in the heart, because without it the heart is only a stone. That is the message of Jesus - the message of love. Love is God. Live in love. Start the day with love. Spend the day with love. End the day with love. This is the way to God. Only the person who is filled with love will be dear to the Lord." ~Sri Sathya Sai Baba
In our last Temple text we discussed good character, and chanting the name of God.
Another valuable spiritual tool that brings a state of peace to the mind, expands feelings of love, and helps you to sense the presence of God is meditation. Swami highly recommends the Jyoti light meditation as a wonderful illuminating practice.
Here is a link to the light meditation on YouTube. It is only 7 minutes long but so satisfying and uplifting.

I would also like to add that our divine Lord Sai Baba recommends Patanjali yoga as another beneficial activity which you can explore.
I uploaded an audio tape of Yogi Hari beginner's level Hatha Yoga. Please if you decide to do any of these asanas do so with caution and care so that you do not injure yourself.
