This evening, the sacred precincts of Sai Kulwant Hall resonated not only with devotional fervour but also with thought-provoking insights highly relevant to our times. As the Ashadi Ekadashi celebrations drew to a memorable close, devotees were treated to a profound and captivating dance drama, seamlessly blending age-old wisdom with the dilemmas of the modern world.
The presentation revolved around three friends whose lives epitomised the crossroads of aspiration, technology, and spiritual grounding. One was a popular vlogger rooted in spirituality, striving to inspire his followers to live purposefully. The second, a brilliant tech enthusiast, tasted dazzling success after winning fifty million dollars in a startup competition—only to grapple with the temptations and chaos that unlimited wealth and influence can bring. The third friend faced a personal crisis, as the misuse of technology threatened not just his livelihood but also his sense of self-worth.
With remarkable creativity and earnest performances, the young Bal Vikas children used this narrative to explore one of the most pressing concerns of our age: Artificial Intelligence. Their portrayal underscored how AI can, like the demon Raktha Bheeja of ancient lore, multiply unchecked desires—each fulfilled craving giving birth to another, endlessly cloning our greed.
Yet, in the midst of this moral quagmire, the friends find clarity in the timeless discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The drama eloquently reminded everyone present that while technology can indeed be a boon, it must be wielded with discernment, humility, and a sense of responsibility. Money and technological power, however dazzling, can never substitute for true peace, love, and self-mastery.
In their final message, the characters issued a clarion call to the youth of today: Channelise your skills and resources for good; never let them become tools of your own enslavement. Use technology not as a means to inflate the ego, but as an instrument to serve society and uplift your character.
May these insights continue to illumine our path, inspiring each of us to live with wisdom, compassion, and unwavering devotion.
