Sanctify every word and deed by filling it with the Love and the Name of your favorite Lord. The gold of which an anklet was made can become the gold for a crown on the head of a temple image. Only it has to be melted in the crucible and beaten into shape. The waters of the river may not be pure, but the devotee who sips it with a Manthra or Sthothra (Sacred Prayers) on his lips, transmutes it into a sacred theertha (Holy Water). The body becomes healthy by exercise and work. The mind becomes healthy by remembrance and contemplation of the Lord through regular, well-planned discipline, carried out joyfully. This is the secret passage to win the Heart of the Lord, to realize Him quick and fast.
- Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 3, Ch 6, Sep-6-63
