131 中年和老年人应当尽怎样的本分?
 
Sep 18, 2011: What is expected of a person in the stages of middle and old age? In His message today, Baba explains this.

When in adulthood, one must foster not only one’s family, but also the progress of people in general. Besides this, during middle age, one must also live an exemplary life, inspiring one’s children and holding forth elevating ideals. Acts that benefit one's family at the cost of the society should be avoided; for, a selfish attitude is bound to lead one to failure. The Divine Principle can be realised only by purifying one’s activities and serving the Self in all. One must have a wide vision of the peace and prosperity of all humanity, and try to contribute to both. Old age is the final stage of life. By the time this stage arrives, one must have discovered that worldly pleasures are trivial and be equipped with spiritual joy, gained through delving into the inner spring of bliss. One must also be eager to share with others the accumulated knowledge and wisdom. Through the experience of life, one’s heart, by this time must be soft, and one should promote the progress of one and all without any distinction.
- Sathya Sai Vahini, Ch 22: “Eternal Truths”.
 

到了成年,他不但该养自己的家,还要致力于社会的进展。除此之外,到了中年,他必须以身作则,做子女的榜样,并抱持崇高的理想。避免做出有利家庭但有损社会的事,自私的心态注定让人走向失败,只有净化自己的行为,服务寓居众生之内的大我,才有可能悟「道」。一定要有宏大的视野,放眼全人类的和平与繁荣,力图有所贡献。老年期是人生最后阶段,到了这个阶段,一个人一定已经发现世间的快乐无足轻重,并且内心充满灵性喜悦,那灵性喜悦是挖掘自内在的极乐之泉。他还应该渴望和人分享自己累积的知识和智能。经历了人生,到这时他的心一定要很柔软,他应该对每个人都一视同仁,促进所有人的进步。

 
True devotion is to regard the universe as a manifestation of God and to experience it as such.

真正的虔诚,是把整个宇宙看成上帝的显化,并加以体验之。
