“The shadow of the moon falling upon the sun is not the calamity that people should fear; the shadow of Maya (Ignorance of who we truly are) falling upon the intelligence is the eclipse that has to be treated as a bad omen, as inauspicious. The mind is the moon, the intelligence is the sun; see that they do not suffer from eclipse. Then, you are safe. Do not worry when something happens in the outer sky; worry when the shadow of some dark desire, some foul passion, some monstrous emotion, some fell intention casts its evil gloom over your inner sky.See that the splendor of the Lord, the cool rays of His Grace are not dimmed in the recesses of your heart.”
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
