Every individual behaves exactly like the bee when they are immersed in the presence of God. The hum of the bee ceases and it is silent once the drinking of the nectar begins. So also, people argue, fight, condemn, and assert only until they discover the sweet essence of Divinity (rasa). The Divine rasa or essence is prema rasa, the sweetness of pure love. Where there is love, there can be no fear, no anxiety, no doubt, and no ashanti (absence of peace). When you are afflicted with restlessness and agitation, you can be sure that your love is narrow, restricted, and it has some ego or selfishness mixed in it. – Divine Discourse, Feb 26, 1968. #sathyasai #saibhakta #saimaa
