What we do is important. How we do it is more important. But the most important is why we do it! The intention with which we do anything is what ultimately matters in life. Intention is what God/Guru looks at also. A beautiful story from the Bhagavatha Purana and the life experience of a Sai Student clearly show us that the Lord will go to any extent when the devotee's intent is pure.
The power of intention also puts to rest the debate on whether means justify the ends or ends justify the means. The end is 'what' we do and the means is 'how' we do. If 'why' we do something is good, then ends justify means and means justify ends. Else, nothing is justified!
This was a Zoom Satsangh delivered to the devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Sri Lanka.
