πΏποΈ REMOVE THE SNAKES FROM THE HEART TO EXPERIENCE TRUE PEACE ποΈπΏ
People often believe:
π° "If I become rich, I will be peaceful."
π‘ "If I have every comfort, I will be happy."
π "If I gain power and success, my life will be complete."
Yet we see many who possess all these...
and still live with fear, anxiety, and restlessness.
Why?
Bhagawan reveals the real reason.
Peace does not depend on what you have. It depends on what is in your heart.
Imagine a beautiful house.
It has every comfort.
But if a venomous snake enters it,
can anyone live peacefully inside?
Certainly not.
Bhagawan says the human heart faces the same danger.
The two poisonous snakes are:
π Raga β Attachment
π Dwesha β Hatred
As long as these dwell in the heart,
lasting peace is impossible.
Neither wealth,
nor power,
nor fame,
nor possessions
can remove this inner poison.
Many people have authority and luxury,
yet remain restless because they have not conquered their own minds.
The greatest victory is not over the worldβ
it is over our own negative qualities.
Guard your heart carefully.
Do not allow:
β Hatred to enter.
β Jealousy to grow.
β Anger to dominate.
β Selfishness to take root.
Instead, fill your heart with:
β€οΈ Love
π Forgiveness
πΏ Compassion
β¨ Faith
When the poisonous snakes leave,
the fragrance of peace naturally fills the heart.
π True peace is not created by external comfortsβit blossoms from an inner heart purified of attachment and hatred.
β Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
