Sai Youth ACT

Study Circle Bliss

We've been reading through Summer Showers 1990:Indian Culture and Spirituality for nearly two months now as part of our preparation for the July Parthi trip and part of the VB Program. It's been a wonderful, edifying experience dicussing each chapter. This book is - if you will pardon the cliche - a necklace of the rarest jewels. Each chapter is a gem. It can be examined in isolation from the rest of the book and yet makes perfect sense. Each paragraph is a careful elucidation of principle and teaching, instruction and example. They are so dense it takes at least two readings to fully comprehend it at the most basic level. Yet the teachings are essentially accessible. Every time we end the session, we can only conclude that "this was the best yet." It's been particularly informative and rather exhilarating to be discussing them with the Youth as well. Perspectives that I would not have dreamt of, experiences that directly related are put forward. It's through discussion that we've gained the most. We strive to find the practical example of the teachings, the practical way of implementing these teachings.

And what is most wonderful still is that while there are these eternal truths and principles, it is up to us to understand them, comprehend them according to our situation in life and in mind, and apply them as best we can with the Lord in our minds and hearts.

Thank you Sai.

(and Thank you Youth :-).)
