Sathya Sai Baba say, Purity is Divinty.
Purity is attained by serving others selflessly, softening hearts of theirs and ours. So whatever the decisions that softens the hearts the best decision .
Tatvamasi .. Thou Divine Art THAT .. lol ..
Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Teachings on Advaita - ( Non -
Dualism )
"Devotee: Swami, what is the best way to relate to the world?
Sai Baba: Do not think about the world. Do not spend time thinking
about the world or about your relationships to individuals. These
are all impermanent. They will not last. Pay attention to that
which lasts, to that which is permanent. All things involving the
world and human relationships have to do only with the body. The
body is like a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. So do
not follow the body or the mind. Follow the voice of God. It is
the voice of unchanging truth inside you. It will direct you toward
your highest good.
If doubts come, do not follow them. Jesus had some doubts on the
cross when the soldiers were tormenting him. Then he heard the
voice of God telling him, "All are one, my dear son. Be alike to
everyone." At that point the last doubt dropped away and Jesus
declared "I and my Father are one." He realised the truth of the
oneness of Self and God. This is the state of Advaita, of complete
Non-Dualism, where there is only unity. If you listen to the voice
of God inside you, it will tell you that there is no difference
between you and God. There never was a difference. It was your
imagination only. The sense of difference was only in your mind.
There is no separate I or God which has to become one. There never
was any other. Always there was just the one, without a second.
To reach this highest truth, do not think that you and God are
separate. Think always "God is with me. He is inside me. He is
around me. He is above me. All there is, is God. I, myself, am
God. I am the infinite. I am the eternal. I am not two. I am
one, only one. There is no one else besides me. I and God are one
and the same." That is called self-confidence; it is the confidence
that you are atma, the one Self. You develop self-confidence by
thinking all the time "God is doing everything, without God I cannot
be." When you realise that God is not outside of you and separate
from you, then you gain self-confidence. Then there is love, there
is peace, there is truth, there is God. So first there must be self-
confidence and love of God. What are you thinking about now? You
are thinking about the body, but the body is just a water bubble.
The body is just a dress, only a dress.

We think as though we were the ones making or taking decisions and choosing amongst options in life!!!! Our mind is hardly ever in our own control or consistent.

I find decisions as a challenge. Frankly I find it fascinating and rewarding especially when it is the right decision.

I never take any decisions. I leave it to 'fate' to drive me. That is why I am in deep trouble tasting bitter things in life.
