At times we are immersed in distress and get depressed in our daily living? How should we lead our lives? Bhagawan lovingly pulls us upward and onward, with a powerful example.

Learn
the lesson of self-reliance from the bird. A bird perched on the leafy
twig of a tree is not affected by the wild swaying of the twig or the
storm which might blow it off because it relies not on the twig or tree
but on its own wings for its safety. It knows it can always fly away and
save itself. The bird is always happy and carefree. Birds are not
concerned about accumulating. They are content to make the best of the
present, living on whatever they can get for the day. They do not worry
about the careers of their children or the state of their bank accounts.
They have no anxiety about the upkeep of houses or properties. Now
think about what you have made of yourself? Sitting on the branch of the
tree of life, are you not worried about every little tremor in life;
consumed by it, and losing your peace of mind?
- Divine Discourse, Jul 3, 1986.
