Women's Spiritual Upliftment Plan

The objective of this exercise is to set a plan in place to assist the ladies in their spiritual development. Every women of the Organization must undertake sadhana (spiritual discipline) as an integral part of her daily life and abide by the (nine point) Code of Conduct. We are fortunate to have the workshop on Sept 29 on this 9 point code of conduct.

The following six points in the Code of Conduct present themselves as especially suitable for personal Spiritual Practice. These are:

  1. Daily meditation and prayer.
  2. Participation in community service and other programs of the Organization.
  3. Regular study of Sai literature.
  4. Putting into practice the principle of "Ceiling on Desires" and utilize any savings thereby generated for the service of mankind.
  5. Speaking softly and lovingly with ever.
  6. Avoiding talking ill of others especially in their absence.

Although the Charter, given by Swami Himself, is expecting us to do all nine, it is reasonable to make a sustained effort on a lesser number with the goal of doing all eventually.

Remember, Swami provided the codes and they are there for our spiritual development. Therefore, to maximize our benefits from being in the Organization, it seems logical that we follow Swami's guidance.

Plan: The emphasis is on practice - Practical Spirituality. Each code has a set of suggested action plan/goals that can be undertaken by participants for their individual practice on a needs/preference basis. But be creative. Individuals may decide on other ways of achieving the best results. After practicing the first code, the second code is to be added to your plan. second month, codes 1 and 2 are to be practiced together and in third month another code is added on. By month 7, we will be practicing all of the 6 codes. we could try 2 months for each code since we have the time to do it.

A record sheet is provided to allow individuals to document their progress and experiences. This is a form of self-audit; a very useful aid in spiritual development. It is recommended that the record be used from the start, as it is a good habit to record achievements on paper rather than rely upon our fallible memories.

Our record sheet is available for download
