Reading The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna came across few lines of great potential. Some times just a line or few lines if they penetrate the heart brings about a great change in the way one lives and think.
One line from Sadguru Sai Baba, that has penetrated deeply in the writers heart is
"When you hurt anybody know that you are hurting Me !"
or the same thing retold in other words
"To quote an instance, the same Mavsibai was on another occasion, kneading Sai Baba's abdomen. Seeing the fury and force used by her, all the other devotees felt nervous and anxious. They said, "Oh mother, be more considerate and moderate, otherwise you will break Sai Baba's arteries and nerves". At this Sai Baba got up at once from His seat, dashed His satka on the ground. He got enraged and His eyes became red like a live charcoal. None dared to stand before or face Sai Baba. Then He took hold of one end of the Satka with both hands and pressed it in the hollow of his abdomen. The other end He fixed to the post and began to press His abdomen against it. The satka which was about two or three feet in length seemed all to go into the abdomen and the people feared that the abdomen would be ruptured in a short time. The post was fixed and immovable and Sai Baba began to go closer and closer to it and clasped the post firmly. Every moment the rupture was expected, and they were all dismayed, did not know what to do, and stood dumb with wonder and fear. Sai Baba suffered this ordeal for the sake of His Bhakta."

Thank you, Alpesh; very nice.
Today's quote from "Sai Inspires" goes:
~~~~~
Those aspiring for success in the spiritual field must decide to control anger, to subdue the vagaries of the mind with its changing resolution to do and not to do things. They must put down their mental agitations and worries and see that they do not create worry in others also. They must convince themselves that in everyone, there is "Shivam", recognizable as the breath. They must develop Universal Love (Vishwa Prema) and demonstrate it in their words and deeds. May you all win Sathyam, Shaanthi, Sukham (Truth, Peace, Joy) through this means. May you all merge in the source of all Aanandam (Divine Bliss).—Divine Discourse, Nov 23 1966
