Do not wait until you are past middle age to practice this sadhana of Namasmarana.

There are some parents who tell their children that they can take up religious practices in their old age. But a straight plant means a straight tree; a bent plant can never grow into a straight tree.

So the sadhana has to be followed from a tender age.

The Mother principle is highly sacred. The mother fosters the child in the womb and goes through all travails to protect the child. There is no greater love in the world than maternal love. For every person the first preceptor is the mother. It is from the mother that a child learns to speak its first few words, take its first few steps and learn the first lessons in good conduct. That is why the ancients accorded the highest place of honour to the mother and declared: "Mathru devo bhava" (Esteem the mother as Divine).

By constant contemplation on God the mind should be turned away from mundane desires. That is the way to transcend the dualities of pain and pleasure. Man has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance and realize his divine essence. When worldly desires are reduced, bliss will be experienced. Along with the control of desires, men should also get rid of Ahamkara (ego). Men today are filled with fear because they have no confidence in themselves. A bird can brave a storm because it has faith in its wings. But man succumbs to the slightest reverses of fortune because he does not rely on the power of the Spirit. People must rely primarily on the power of the Divine. With confidence in the Self, they should devote themselves to good deeds. This is the purpose of life. Every step you take must bring you nearer to God.

Good qualities can be acquired only by practice. Though it may seem difficult, like moving an object uphill, yet the effort has to be made. Sadhana (spiritual practice) must be done with full faith and without any room for doubt. Cultivate love for God. There is nothing greater than that. As your love grows stronger, the Spirit in you will shine brighter. Spiritual growth calls for restraint on desires. In addition, you also have to get rid of attachments and aversions. The three great enemies of man are Kama (desire), Krodha (anger) and Lobha (greed). Desire destroys devotion, anger annihilates wisdom, and greed poisons every action. These three vices are deleterious to Sath-Karma (good deeds), Upasana (devotion) and Jnana (spiritual wisdom). The only way to get rid of them is to burn them in Prema-Agni (the fire of Divine Love).

If you wish to lead an ideal life, you have to follow the example of the Avatars (Divine incarnations). Avatars may appear in human form, but you should not equate them with ordinary mortals. In physical form, both may appear alike. But there is a fundamental difference. You should not mistake the cotton fruit for the mango. When man strays away from the path of righteousness, God comes in human form to reform him. Birds, beasts and insects lead lives according to their specific nature. It is only man who has given up all righteousness, forgotten his divine essence and degraded his humanness. The Avatar has to protect the good, reform the erring and punish the wicked.

YOU MAY NOT get a chance to partake in some gigantic scheme or service through which millions may be benefitted;

You can lift a lame lamb over a stile or lead a blind person across a busy road.

That too is an act of worship.

Self-realization should be the goal of human existence. It has to be reached through three stages: Self-confidence, self-satisfaction and self-sacrifice. Man should regard himself as the master of the body, the senses and the mind. He has to use the intellect to experience his oneness with the divine, the cosmic all-pervading consciousness. The flame of Prajnaana (constant integrated awareness) which is in everyone is covered by the ash of worldly desires. When the ash is blown off, the fire of Brahman (Absolute Divinity) reveals itself in all its glory.

Giving up narrow ideas and feelings, people should show compassion towards their fellow-beings. Compassion is the hallmark of Bhakthi (devotion). No one can hope to please God without showing Daya (compassion) towards his fellow-men. A loving heart is the temple of God. God cannot dwell in a heart without compassion. There is nothing greater in the world than Prema-drishti (feeling of universal love). They alone are good who see the unity in the apparent diversity. Men have to realize that they are sparks of the Divine. They have to develop sacred thoughts and lead ideal lives. They must seek to promote the welfare of society.

Developing attachment to persons and possessions is the cause of all sorrow. By reducing attachments and developing love for God, one can reduce misery and experience more happiness. The more one loves God, the more the bliss one experiences. Men are plunged in misery because they hanker after the physical instead of yearning for God. If men transform their desire for material objects into the desire for the Supreme they will enjoy immense happiness. All that is necessary is to see the Divine in everything. This is true devotion. Work will then turn into worship and every act rendered holy.

Man should realize that the five basic elements which constitute the fundamental stuff of the universe are common to all mankind. He should see the divine in every human being. This is the purport of the prayer: Buddham Sharanam Gachchaami, Sangham Sharanam Gachchaami, Dharmam Sharanam Gachchaami. The meaning of the prayer is that for the sake of upholding Dharma (Righteousness), one should use one's Buddhi (the enlightened intellect) and engage in service of Sangha (society). Man has been endowed with a body essentially to pursue Dharma.

Truth does not simply mean abstaining from lying. You have to take truth as your very essence, as the foundation of your life.

You should be prepared to renounce everything for the sake of truth. The world conducts itself in the fear of this truth and is always subservient to truth.

If there were no truth, man would be afraid even to live. Truth confers fearlessness on man. It is truth which protects the entire world and makes it function.

It is truth that drives away fear. Truth is such an important quality that only when it is being faultlessly observed by an individual will he be able to attain divinity. Character is the life-breath of truth. Virtue and good behaviour are important to character.-BABA

You walk amongst the jungles of life, Wrapped in attachments, worries and sufferings.  I come and meet you in this confusion.  You do not recognize Me in My disguise.  I offer you My help and My guidance,

To traverse this difficult path.  But ego blinds your spiritual eye,  and you move on alone and lost,  Until later with My grace and your repeated prayers,  I arrive again !  This time you see a glimpse of My divinity,  and you begin your following.

Your faith strengthens,  And your dependence on Me grows.  When all of a sudden, all seems clear !  You now follow Me, amongst the jungles of life,  Detached, contented and blissful.  Your eyes only see Me,  Your heart only beats My name,  With your love for Me, and with My love for you,  We merge into the light of oneness.

It starts with Guru and disciple,  Continues to become God and devotee,  And ends to be God and God. - BABA

Transcend anekathwa bhava (the feeling of multiplicity) and cultivate ekathwa bhava (the feeling of oneness) - that will end strife, grief, pain and pride. See all beings as manifestations of the same Divinity. Feel that the reason you are able to talk and walk, think and act is due to the God within. Differences that strike you where you cast your eyes are illusory; you have not yet developed the vision that makes you comprehend the unity which underlies the apparent diversity. The fault lies with you, not with the world. The world is one; but each takes it to mean what pleases him most. Each sees it in his own way and hence, it appears as if it has multiple facets.

When you have determination to reach God,  It must be accompanied with patience.  Without patience it will only lead to frustration.

Be patient and love God,  Simply for the reason of pure love.  Do not expect His Grace.  Grace comes only when He wills,  and only at the right time.

It will pour abundantly one day.  But in the meantime, you must work hard on Your faith in Him,  Your determination to reach Him,  Your patience and perseverance and  Your sincere love for Him. God gives all, and expects nothing.

You too are God, learn to give, give, give .........

True devotion lies in performing actions that will sanctify time. I am not asking you to serve the whole world in a big way.

It is enough if you keep God in your heart and serve as per your capacity. The path of service is superior to spiritual practices like prayer, meditation and yoga.

Only through service can you please God. The human body is meant for serving others, not for indulging in selfish deeds. When selfishness becomes part and parcel of your life, you become involved in sinful activities.

Eschew selfishness; take to selfless service.           - BABA

Worship is just a means of educating the emotions. Human impulses and emotions have to be guided and controlled.

Just as the raging waters of a river have to be curbed by bunds, halted by dams, tamed by canals, and led quietly to the ocean which can swallow all floods without a trace, so too the age-long instincts of people have to be trained and transmuted by contact with higher ideals and powers.

When the fruit is ripe, it will fall off the branch of its own accord. Similarly, when equanimity saturates your heart, you lose contact with the world and slip into the lap of the Lord. - BABA

ssign to your mind the task of serving the Lord and it will grow tame. You hand over only ornaments that need repair or reshaping to the goldsmith. So too, give the Lord your mind that certainly needs repair, if not complete reconstruction. The blemish that affects the mind is illusion. It is like a fierce dog that will not allow any one to approach the master. Illusion is the Lord's pet and so, it will not harm you if He orders it not to. Hence, the way to avoid the dog is by calling out to the master loudly, so that he comes to welcome you himself, that is to say by praying to the Lord to shower His grace upon you.

Do not be deluded by the belief that life has been given to you for eating, drinking and enjoying other physical pleasures.

This rare blessing of birth as a human is not meant to be squandered this way.

What is the difference between human beings and animals?

It is qualities like kindness, compassion, forbearance and sympathy which differentiate human beings from animals.

But man tends to forget these inherent qualities out being absorbed in pandering to his selfish, mundane desires.

Those wearing the spectacles of selfishness can only see selfishness all around them. A defective vision produces an apparent defect in creation.

There is nothing wrong with Srishti (creation). All faults are due to the defective Dhrishti (vision). - BABA

You should cultivate an attitude of inseparable attachment to the Lord, who is your very self. If He is a flower, you should feel that you are the bee that sucks nectar from it; if He be a tree, feel that you are creeper that clings to it; if He be a cliff, then feel that you are a cascade running over it; if He be the sky, be a tiny star that twinkles in it; above all, be conscious of the truth that you and He are bound by Supreme Love. If you feel this intensely, the journey will be quick and the goal can be won easily.

The best way to get rid of weakness is to strike at its very roots - the mistaken notion that you are the body, with a name and form, the five senses, intelligence and the mind. In fact, these are like baggage. Don't you say, "my nose, my mind, my hand, my reason", just as you say, "my book, my umbrella?" Who is the 'I' that calls all these 'mine'? That is the real 'you'. It was there when you were born, and also when you were sleeping, forgetful of everything, even your body. That 'I' cannot be harmed; it does not change, it knows neither birth nor death. Learn the discipline that makes you aware of this Truth and you will be ever free and bold. That is real vidya, the Atmavidya (Knowledge of the Self), which the sages have gathered for you after intense penance and contemplation.

The ideal of a high standard of life, instead of a high standard of living, has played havoc within society. A high level of living insists on morality, humility, detachment, compassion; so the competitive greed for luxury and conspicuous consumption receives no encouragement and will be destroyed.

Now, people are slaves of their desires, and find themselves unable to conquer their thirst for pleasure and luxury. They have become too weak to keep their nature under control, and do not know how to arouse the divine Consciousness that is latent within them.

Spiritual discipline is the only way to effect this basic transformation. It involves the elimination of the mind which is the obstacle on the path. The grace of God, if invoked and won, can endow you with the necessary power.  - BABA.

The tongue is the armour of the heart; it guards one's life. Loud and irresponsible speech, full of anger and hate, affects the health of man. It breeds anger and hate in others. Silence is said to be golden. The silent man has no enemies, though he may not have many friends either. He has the opportunity to dive within himself and examine his own faults and failings. He has no more inclination to seek them in others. If your foot slips, you suffer a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture some one's faith or joy. That fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester for ever. Therefore, use the tongue with great care. The softer your speech, the lesser you talk, the sweeter you talk, the better the world will be.

Any task undertaken with self-confidence is assured of success. Self-confidence is, therefore, absolutely necessary for everyone. Moreover, if you expect others to respect and love you, you should respect and love them equally.

Without respecting and loving others, you cannot expect any reciprocal feeling from them. In the same way, if you love God, God loves you.

Life consists of reaction, resound and reflection. You get back exactly what you do to others. The true indices of a good person are these: keep your word, adhere to truth, show gratitude where it is due, and stay firm in your self-confidence.

If you adhere to these tenets, you will overcome with ease any obstacles that may come your way. Hold on to your self-confidence and self-respect, and be ready for self-sacrifice. - BABA

People are so busy in worldly affairs that they do not want to think for themselves since this is the era of canned food, and everyone wants quick results.

We are today witnessing the commercialization of the ancient science of yoga. Even drugs are being used in order to obtain mystical experiences; this could be termed as 'instant meditation', like instant coffee.

What Rishis of the past achieved through lifelong penance and self-discipline can now be deemed to be redundant, and mankind considers that anyone can instantly transcend into the higher realms of the spirit just by pushing a button or consuming a drug.-BABA

Man's actions are related to desires and aversions. They are the cause of his joys and sorrows. All the world's ills arise from the evil thoughts and deeds of men. It is only when man is transformed that society can transform and the world be reformed. Man does not use his sense organs in the right way. He has eyes, but does not see what is good. He has ears, but does not listen to what is good. There is only one way to correct him. He has to be shown the spiritual path and guided to cultivate the virtues of Truth, Love and self-sacrifice. He must be weaned away from selfish pursuits and from arrogance and pride. His mind, which is the real culprit, has to be cleansed of all evil. One can acquire real peace and joy only when one turns one's thoughts towards God and away from the world.

What is compassion?

Seeing a person in distress and verbally expressing sympathy is not compassion.

Compassion must express itself in action to relieve the suffering. Nor should you adopt an attitude of aloofness or indifference under the plea that each one is suffering for his own folly. Though the suffering may indeed be due to one's mistakes - mistakes to which everyone is prone - we should seek to remedy such suffering, just as we try and find a way to relieve our own suffering.

Some people try to show off their sympathy by setting up charitable institutions and the like. True compassion should emanate from the heart, and should not find _expression in outward manifestations that only reveal one's vanity.-BABA

Dhyana does not connote merely the act of sitting erect, motionless and maintaining silence. It means merging of all thoughts and feelings in God.

Unless the mind dissolves itself completely in God, one cannot attain the fruit of Dhyana. Lord Krishna, in the Bhagavad-Gita, declares the ideal Dhyana and its fruit to be

 "Ananyaaschinthayanthomaam Ye janah paryupaasathe. Theshaam nithyaabhiyukthanaam Yogakshemam vahaamyaham", meaning,

"For those persons who adore Me without any other thought or feeling, I will myself carry their burden, remain by their side always guiding and guarding them".- BABA

Man suffers from numerous ills because he has not understood the purpose of life.

The first thing he has to realize is that God is one, by whatever name and in whatever form the Divine is worshipped. The One chose to become the many. The Vedas declare, "God is one; the wise hail Him by many names".

It is the imagination of the observers which accounts for the apparent multiplicity of the Divine. The sun is only one, but its reflection appears in many vessels. Likewise, God is present in the hearts of different beings in varied forms and natures. - BABA

Bliss has to be sought not through accumulation of material wealth, but through sacrifice and promotion of the welfare of one's fellow beings.

Thyaga (sacrifice) is recommended by the Vedas as the only path to immortality. Give in plenty, give gladly, and with gratitude to God.

Selfishness is the canker that destroys charity. Though one is aware that a certain act is wrong, selfishness does not allow him to desist. But, this weakness can be overcome by steady determination.

Share with others the knowledge and skills you have earned, the ideas and ideals you have benefited by and the joy you have won by discipline and dedication. Sharing will not diminish them or devalue them. On the other hand, they will shine with added splendor.

Humanness is a marvelous thing. It is boundless and significant. The term 'man' does not refer just to the physical body.
A human being is a composite of body, mind and Spirit (Atma). To perform actions through the body, understand them through the mind, and have the Atma as a witness to both these - that constitutes living as a human being.
Action, awareness and registration - these three manifest the meaning of human life. It is sheer ignorance to equate human existence with the body alone. You should grasp the nature and aim of human existence and lead a meaningful life.
First of all there is the mind. Only one with a mind can be called a man.

When a white paint is added to a black paint, The black lightens to a dark gray. When more white is added to the dark gray, It turns to a lighter shade of grey. As more white is added, the black in it diminishes, And it comes to a point, the black becomes white.

In the same way, consider Me to be the white paint, and you being the black paint. With every little of Me added to you, Your dark karmas begin to lessen, And your true nature slowly begins to reveal. The more you add Me into your life, The impurity diminishes, Leaving you more pure each time.

At a point, all the black will be transformed to white. And all the "Myness" will merge into the "Oneness".

Birth as a human being is a rare and unique opportunity. For, man is endowed with a discriminating intelligence, the power to reason out the best among alternative courses of action. The tongue that does not chant the name of God, the hand that knows no charity, the years of life that know no peace of mind, talents that do not find fulfillment, a life that has not garnered wisdom, a temple where there is no atmosphere of reverence, speech that does not communicate knowledge - all these are of no worth.

Educated persons, nowadays, are concerned solely about their own well-being and that of their families, and have no interest in the welfare of the world.

Education should aim at making a person take pleasure in promoting the well-being of all people. As a person grows up, he develops associations with relations, friends, teachers and many others. It is through these numerous relationships that one's human qualities develop.

Without these associations, the individual would remain at the animal level. One's human nature is developed by society and contacts with kinsmen, friends and others.

You have to show your gratitude to all of them by striving for their well-being.- Baba

Seek and remain in good company; keep association with the holy. Being in the midst of such spiritual heroes, you can fight against evil with greater chance of success. Being in the company of the holy is like the bit and bridle for the wanton steed, the dam and canal for the raging flood. The value of holy places consists in just this: kindred spirits congregate there and contribute to the deepening of spiritual yearning. You can take sweet and sustaining counsel in such places and strengthen your faith and devotion.

Sandalwood gives more and more fragrance when it is subjected to more and more grinding. The sugarcane yields juice as it is chewed more and more. Gold gets refined when it is melted in the fire.

So also, a true devotee will not falter in his love for God even when he faces troubles and obstacles in his life.

The Upanishads declare that immortality can be experienced only through Thyaga (renunciation or sacrifice). This renunciation does not mean giving up hearth and home, kith and kin. It means giving up the transient and impermanent things of the world. This calls for discrimination between what is permanent and what is perishable, what is good and what is bad. Only then can man discover the Divine principle within him.

The eye which is scarce two inches long can see millions of miles into space, but is incapable of seeing itself ! Man too is as shrewd and as weak as the eye.

He can analyze others' motives, count others' faults and map out others' skills and capacities, but he is powerless to analyze himself, his feelings and his emotions. Unwilling to discover his own faults, he cannot assess his innate skill and realize his inner reality !

But the power can be acquired if you keep company with Sadhakas (aspirants for spiritual progress), not otherwise.  -BABA

Man today is knocking on doors other than that of God. Man now is praying to God only for worldly possessions. Man should seek the gift of spiritual knowledge that can bring fulfillment to life. However, man today has acquired proficiency in various skills and has mastered many fields of knowledge, but he has not acquired the peace that is his due. Science can offer only temporary worldly comforts; spirituality alone can give you enduring bliss.

You are all the indestructible Atma, nothing need discourage you. In your dream, you suffer so much due to fire, floods, insult, loss of money, etc. But once you wake up, you are not affected at all. When these events happen during the waking state, you feel afflicted. But let me tell you that from the state of Realization, even the waking state is equally without validity. It is not the real 'you' that suffers all that. Give up the delusion that you are this physical entity and you become really free.

Seek the Light always; be full of confidence and zest. Do not yield to despair, for it can never yield results. It only worsens the problem, for it darkens the intellect and plunges you into doubt. You must take up the path of Sadhana (spiritual exercise) very enthusiastically. Half-hearted, halting steps will not yield fruit. It is like cleaning a slushy area by a stream of water. If the current of the stream is slow, the slush cannot be cleared. The stream must flow full and fast, driving everything before it, so that the slush is removed without leaving a trace.

I give you a chance to purify yourselves. But I see you choking yourselves with selfishness. You seem to have time for useless activities. Your energy seems high for superficial events. But My eyes see that which you lack most, Is your lack of love. This deficiency has left you alone. You are uncalm and angry.

Look for the chances I give you. Rise above your selfish wants. Dive in that which I have planned for you. My love for you is the vitamin pill, That will cure you of your deficiency.

Do not be narrow minded. Broaden your horizons and Accept Me in more than My one form, Which you know and worship.

Even if you are not in a position to share your material wealth, there is no one in the world, who is not able to give love, who is not able to say sweet words, who is not able to lovingly hold, A hand of one who needs.

Believe Me, Love can cure. Love can take away anger. Love does not envy. Love is not partial. Love is not two faced. Love is not hurtful. Love does not take and love knows no sadness. True love only knows to live in giving more love.

Wish and pray to attain this love from Me in this lifetime.

The body and the mind are closely inter-related and both derive sustenance from food. Therefore, food has considerable impact on the character and destiny of the individual. As the food, so the mind; as the mind, so the thought; as the thought, so the act. All that is perceived by the senses constitutes 'food'. For the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant), the intake must always be Sathwic, i.e., pure and moderate. The sounds, the sights, the impressions, the ideas, the lessons, the contacts - all must promote reverence, humility, balance, equanimity and simplicity. It is only the Sathwic 'food' that will keep the mind on an even keel, fully concentrated on the Atma on which one must contemplate in order to attain peace.

Where is righteousness?

It is in your conduct, thoughts, words and deeds. Righteousness dwells in your heart. When the impulses arising from the heart are expressed in words, that is Sathya (Truth). To translate those words into action is Dharma (Righteousness).

For all these, Love is the primary requisite. Love in action is righteousness. Love in speech is Truth. Love in thought is Peace. Love in understanding is Non-violence.

When you realise that God is in everyone, you will practice non-violence. God is one, though He may be worshipped in different forms and by different names - Rama or Krishna, Allah or Jesus, Hari or Sai. - BABA

You must realize that Bhajan (devotional singing), Namasmarana (chanting God's name) and Puja (ritualistic worship) are not for pleasing or propitiating God, but for our own spiritual progress. Frequently people flatter the rich and the powerful - especially when they are in their employment or are beholden to them for some precious help - in order to induce them to shower gifts on them. But God does not shower grace on people because they sing His praises. Nor does He come down upon them because they do not deify Him. Contemplating on the Divine attributes enables us to dwell on elevating ideals and brings us nearer to the Divinity that is our nature.

What does Ahimsa signify?

It is not merely refraining from causing harm to others. It also implies refraining from causing harm to oneself. Whoever desires to observe Ahimsa must see that he does no violence to himself, for one who harms himself cannot avoid harming others.

You must constantly examine whether your conduct is right or wrong. For instance, in the matter of speech, one must examine whether one's words might be causing pain to others. One must see that one's looks are not tainted with evil intentions or thoughts. Nor should one listen to evil talk either.

All these things cause harm to a person. Hence one should see to it that one gives no room for bad looks, bad hearing, bad speech, bad thoughts or bad actions. And how do you determine what is bad?

By consulting your conscience. Whenever you act against the dictates of your conscience, bad results will follow.  - BABA

Then it is easy to cultivate good thoughts and feelings in the heart thus illumined. Education does not end with the accumulation of information; it must result in transformation of the habits, character and aspirations of the individual. Knowledge has to be tested in daily life. Now, man has no inkling of the most precious heritage that he has within him. He is interested in everyone except his own self.

Food is an important factor which determines the alertness and sloth, the worry and calm, the brightness and dullness of man. When the mind is fed on Rajasic food that induces passion and emotion, activity and adventure, it gallops into the world with the plunge of desire! It brings man deeper into the morass of suffering. When it is fed on Tamasic food, which dulls and induces sloth, the mind becomes callous, inert and useless for uplifting man. Every activity of man is dependent on the energy he derives from the intake of food. The success of the Sadhana (spiritual exercises) that one undertakes depends upon the quantity and quality of the food taken by the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant).

Nobody can enter college until school education is completed. Several stages have to be passed. So too, we have on the spiritual path, the stages of work, worship, wisdom and sacrifice. Sacrifice may be likened to a ripe fruit falling from a tree, sacrificing its affection and attachment. Work is for the physical level, worship for the mental level and wisdom for the spiritual level. Through Karma (prescribed duties) purity of mind is achieved. Through Upasana (devotional worship) one-pointed concentration of mind is promoted. And through Jnana, Moksha (liberation) is attained. Every one has to pass through these three stages.

God is love incarnate. This love shines equally in every human being. The fragrance of a flower remains the same whether it is held in the right hand or the left. Likewise God has no distinctions such as the favoured and the excluded. But narrow-minded persons cannot easily grasp the Divine's equal-mindedness. Everyone apprehends God's powers and attributes according to his own limited conceptions and experiences. Different people, depending on their own likes and dislikes, attribute the differences existing in their own minds to the Divine. God does not make distinctions such as the good and the bad, the likeable and the unwanted, the wicked and the virtuous. The sandalwood tree imparts its fragrance even to the axe that fells it. Likewise, God is ever prepared to love, foster and protect everyone equally.

Ignoring the Self, of what avail are all other possessions, which are temporary and evanescent? Of what use is the knowledge about the world, when you are not aware of yourself? That is why Vedanta (Vedic Philosophy) calls upon each one to discover the truth about himself. Self-knowledge is the key to all knowledge. For this, you must approach the right person to teach you the means to discover your true Self. If you are not prepared to undertake this self-enquiry, cultivate faith, if not in God, at least in your own Self.

When Sri Krishna was being weighed in a balance, all the jewels of Sathyabhama could not balance His weight. Rukmini then came and declared that the mere chanting of the name of Krishna would be equal to His weight. By the additional offer of a leaf, a flower or a little water, the scales will be tilted against Krishna. So saying she placed a Tulasi (Basil) leaf on the scale. And lo! it went down. The Tulasi leaf carried the full weight of Rukmini's boundless love for Krishna. All the jewels of Sathyabhama were of no avail. But Rukmini's invoking the name of Krishna and offering a Tulasi leaf with a love-filled heart titled the scales against Krishna.

As the mother, so the sweetness of culture. As the mother, so the progress of the nation.

If mothers take care of their families, they will be protecting the nation.

Become what you are

Love, Love, Love! Become what you truly are - the embodiments of Love. No matter how others treat you or what they think of you, do not worry. Follow Jesus Christ. Love for your own evolution and not for what others say. Do not imitate others. Cultivate your own life. Follow your own heart, your own opinions, your own ideas, your own will. - Baba  

Surrender

Why get agitated? Let me take care of all your business. I shall be the One Who will think about them. I am waiting for nothing else than your surrender to Me. I intervene only when you know how to completely surrender to Me and then you do not have to worry anymore about anything. Say farewell to all fears and discouragement. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the contrary, you must rely blindly on Me.

Surrender

To surrender means to turn your thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away from the difficulties you encounter and from all your problems. Leave everything in to My hands saying : Lord, Thy Will be done, Thou think of it. That is to say : Lord, I thank You for You have taken everything in Your hands and You will resolve this for my highest good.

Surrender

Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender, that is to say, when you worry that a situation has not had the desired outcome, You thus demonstrate that you don’t believe in My love for you. You will prove that you don’t consider your life to be under My control and that nothing escapes Me.

Surrender

Never think: how is this going to end… what is going to happen… if you give in to this temptation you demonstrate that you don’t trust Me. Do you want Me to deal with it, yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious about it! I shall guide you only if you completely surrender to Me and when I must lead you into a different path than the one that you expect. I carry you in My arms.

Surrender

What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can do so many things when the being, as much in his material necessities as in his spiritual ones turns to Me saying : You think of it, then he closes his eyes and rests quietly. You will receive a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Me. You pray to Me when in pain so that I intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on Me, but you want Me to adjust to your requests.

Surrender

Don’t behave like sick ones who ask a treatment to the doctor, all the time suggesting it to him. Do not do that, but rather, even in sad circumstances say : Lord I praise and thank You for this problem, for this necessity, I pray You to arrange things as You please for this terrestrial and temporal life. You know very well what is best for me.

Surrender

Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminishing? Don’t get agitated, close your eyes and tell Me with faith: Thy Will be done. Thou think of it. And when you thus speak. I even accomplish a miracle when necessary. I only think of it when you trust Me totally. I always think of you, but I can only help you completely when you rely fully on Me.

Deha Vasana (attachment to the body) impels one to seek physical strength and health and an attractive physique. All the efforts to make up one's face will not serve to alter its natural features. Only that which has been given by the Lord will be enduring. You must be content with that. While taking as much care of the body as is essential, you should not have excessive attachment to that which is inherently perishable and temporary. The body must be taken care of only for realizing the Divinity within. It is no doubt necessary to maintain good health as long as one lives, but obsessive concern for the body is misconceived.

The Vedas have taught the means to make life in the world pure and meaningful. They have declared: "Na karmanaa na prajayaa dhane na, thyaagenaike amrutatwamaanashuhu" (not through rituals, progeny or wealth, but only through sacrifice can immortality be achieved). A Thyagi (renunciant) does not hesitate even to sacrifice his body for other's welfare. Sacrifice means something more than giving up of wealth, gold and material objects. Evil qualities like hatred, jealousy, wrath and malice which have become ingrained in man over many lifetimes should be discarded.

Divinity neither comes nor goes. God is total love.
It is important to remember that you and the world are temporary, but Truth and love are permanent. Love is god, so live in love; Truth is God, so follow truth. Like the two wings of a bird, truth and love can make you fly to noble heights.

Follow the greatest path, the path of love. Take the example of the magnet and the iron: they unite, and the iron becomes one with the magnet. Likewise, the knower of Brahman (the Universal Absolute) becomes Brahman. You are children of immortality, you are eternal. The relationship between you and God is eternal.

The body changes through many births, but the mind and deeds continue from birth to birth. Just as an auditor totals the accounts of the day and carries the balance over onto the next page, our mind follows to the next life. You should be able to control the mind by controlling the senses - then merge in truth and experience oneness with God. - BABA

Jnana in Vedantic parlance has been defined as "Advaita Darshanam" (recognising the One without a second). That is to see the One in the many, unity in diversity. There may be many names and forms, but you have to recognise that the Atma Principle in all of them is one and the same. It is not enough to say this in words. You must make it a living experience. Only then can one experience enduring Ananda (bliss). Such a person alone can be called a true Jnani (Knower of the Supreme).

People claim to make offerings to God, even without knowing where He is. When the Lord is ever by the side of man, he is searching for God all over the world.

One must purify one's consciousness instead of being led astray by the external. You have to rectify your conduct and actions, because everything depends on your actions.

Adhering to the righteous path, with a pure heart, you have to divinise your life. All spiritual disciplines have been laid down only for this purpose.

All the prayers, Japa (repetition of God's name) and Pooja (ritualistic worship) that are offered are intended only to purify the heart. - BABA

You should be prepared to face every challenge of life with courage.

Courage is the key to success. Life is bound to offer all kinds of difficulties, but you should not quail before them. Face every ordeal with fortitude.

Nowadays, people get easily depressed and confused when they encounter difficulties. Depression leads to frustration. This is not the way to face the challenges of life. You should develop the courage to go through the adventure of life.

Adhering to Truth, Cherishing Love in your hearts, cultivating fortitude, face life with firm determination and steady vision. Such a life will result in fulfillment. The rewards of life can only be got through strenuous effort. - BABA

There is no greater spiritual sadhana than service. The tendency to distinguish between the spiritual path, the path of service and the path of knowledge and regard them as separate is wrong. The three are not distinct; they are one.

Service is spiritual knowledge, and is the principle means for acquiring divine grace. Without being a devoted follower, you cannot become a worthy leader. Without being willing to do work, you cannot attain divinity. Each one has to realize this truth.

Service to society is the highest good. It is Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence that give happiness. These are the five sustainers of life.

Under no circumstances should these principles be departed from or given up.

Render service to society with these principles in your mind, and with broad-minded dedication to the well-being of all. - BABA

They are merely to attract your attention Godward, to make you think that there is More than just science, More than what a human level can reach.

I walk amongst you today, To perform My biggest miracle of all, The transformation of your heart. I mould you, I scold you, I tease you, I console you. I make you cry, I wipe all your tears. I shake you, turn you inside out. Puzzle you, answer you.

And with My love, I start a slow process, A process of change. I pull out the "I" and destroy it. I awaken your eye to be able to see Me.

This Avatar has not come in vain. My purpose today is to lead all Godward. I will not give up, Unless I see your heart melt with devotion.

Do not serve for the sake of rewards, attracting attention, or earning gratitude, or from a sense of pride at your own superiority in skill, wealth, status or authority. Serve because you are urged by love. When you succeed, ascribe the success to the Grace of God, who inspired you as the Love principle within you. When you fail, ascribe the failure to your own inadequacy, insincerity or ignorance. Examine the springs of action, disinfect them from all traces of ego. Do not blame the recipient of the Seva (service), or your collaborators and co-workers, or God.

Through right action, one achieves purity of heart, which leads to the acquisition of Jnana (wisdom). It is only when attachment to the fruits of one's actions is discarded that the action becomes Yoga (Divine communion). One should overcome the sense of 'mine' and 'thine'. When one embarks on service activities, one should regard it as a privilege to serve others and look upon it as a form of worship of the Divine. One should consider service to society as the means of finding self-fulfillment in life. One should face whatever problems may arise, with faith and courage, and carry on one's service activities without fanfare in a spirit of humility and dedication.

Birth as a human being is a rare and unique opportunity. For, man is endowed with a discriminating intelligence, the power to reason out the best among alternative courses of action. The tongue that does not chant the name of God, the hand that knows no charity, the years of life that know no peace of mind, talents that do not find fulfillment, a life that has not garnered wisdom, a temple where there is no atmosphere of reverence, speech that does not communicate knowledge - all these are of no value.

Dhrishti (sight) decides attachment, sorrow, passion, etc. You are the noblest being ever created, and so, you have to develop the vision that sees no high or low, that sees all as suffused with divinity, and therefore, not different from one another. Adi Shankara declared, "Make your Dhrishti charged with Jnana (wisdom); then, the seen will appear in its true light as Brahman". The God in you is in each of them, too. Do not imagine the others to be distinct, they are only you, in so many different forms. The world is filled with your kith and kin; all are sparks from the same flame.

Every object in nature, every incident in time, is really speaking, teaching you a lesson. Lord Dakshinamurthy was one morning walking in slow steps along the beach. He saw the waves slowly, but systematically, carrying towards the shore a bit of straw, passing it on from one crest to another, until it was deposited on land! The sea is a broad expanse, it is deep and mighty. But, yet, it is constantly engaged in purging itself from all extraneous things. You too must therefore not permit even a small desire to enter the mind. Force it out of your being, so that it can do you no harm. Eternal vigilance is the price of peace and happiness.

Saturate every breath of yours with love. Love knows no fear. Fear drags man into falsehood, injustice and evil. Love does not crave for praise. Only those who have no Love in them itch for reward and reputation. Love is its own reward. When you are eager to place offerings before the Lord, let it be love instead of mere material objects. Love is no merchandise; do not bargain about its cost. Let it flow clear from the heart, as a stream of Truth, a river of wisdom. Let it not emanate from the head, nor from the tongue. Let it emerge, full and free, from the heart.

Why does man wail when he arrives into the world, whimper throughout his life and groan out, into the beyond, lamenting that his sojourn here was a waste of years? Man does so, because he is unaware of his glory, of his high destiny! He is the Divine poured into the human mould. It is the privilege of man alone, to be able to become aware of this precious truth! This is the message of the Upanishads to man, echoed in scriptures, and in the declarations of countless saints. Yet, man turns a deaf ear to it, perhaps, due to his own misfortune created by his own misdeeds in past lives. What an inexhaustible source of bliss lies within you!

Caught in the coils of the 'created,' man is blind to the fact that he is part of the Divine Creator. Identifying himself with the physical sheath in which he is encased, he is blind to the unity of all beings in the One Universal Absolute. Man has written and studied countless texts on spiritual discipline and discovery, and confounded the confusion, indulging in dialectical rivalries and argumentation. But, he who has put at least a page or two of these tomes into practise, is rendered silent and innocent of any desire for fame or victory. He is happy in the depths of his being. He ploughs the field of his heart, sows the seeds of love and reaps the harvest of fortitude and equanimity.

To reach the stage of a Jnani (Knower of the Supreme), the preliminary steps are Karma and Upasana (righteous action and worship). Without following the paths of Karma and Upasana and succeeding in them, one can not become a Jnani, just as a student cannot acquire a degree without passing out of school. Before one becomes an adult, one has to pass through the stages of childhood and youth. It is idle for any one to claim that he is a Jnani, unless he has gone through the prior disciplines. The mark of a Jnani is perennial joy. It is for realizing the oneness of divinity, that the three stages of action, worship and knowledge have been laid down in the Vedas.

All experiences of pleasure and pain have their origin in the thoughts of man. A thought is like the seed of a tree, which in due course puts forth branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. All that you see in a tree has come from a small seed. Likewise, although man's thought is subtle, it contains potentially the entire universe. The atom is the microcosm of the Universe.

There is no death for the mind, though when the body is facing death the mind thinks it is dying. The mind, it has been said, is the cause of one's bondage or liberation. Bad thoughts beget bondage. Good thoughts lead to liberation. Hence, everyone should develop good thoughts and perform good deeds. Such good feelings can arise only out of love.

The body and mind are very closely interlinked and are vital to man's evolution. A complete man is one who has both a pure mind and a healthy body. The body must certainly be fostered and protected, but no attachment must be developed towards it. The Atma within the body is more fundamental. While the body is bound to perish sometime, the Atma within is eternal. A healthy body and a pure mind in turn combine to give 'Lavanya' - true beauty. True beauty is that of the character and not of the body. It is this Lavanya that gives one an eternal youthful countenance and bliss.

One of main rite's done as per the Karma kanda (a part of the Vedas dealing with action) is yajna (sacrifice). The Veda Purusha (Vedic God-head) is the spring out of which Ananda wells. The meaning and significance, of every single hymn and rite of the Vedas is yajna.

If bhrama (delusion) dies, you become Brahman (the Supreme Spirit), or rather, you know that you are Brahman. All this literature, all this effort, all this yajna, all this teaching is just to hold a mirror before you, so that you may see the Divine Yourself.

Yajna is the destiny of every living being. Every being, from the tiniest amoeba to the most profound scholar, is perpetually engaged in yajna. The mother sacrifices for the child, the father for the progeny, the friend for the friend, the individual for the group, the present for the sake of the future, the rich for the poor, the weak for the strong - it is all yajna, sacrifice, offering. When life becomes yajnamaya (sacrifice-filled), egoism will disappear and pictorially the river will merge in the sea.

Human is born from Brahman, grows through Brahman and merges in Brahman. Brahman pictorially means freedom from bhrama (delusion).

Sound is the first attribute of God. The hymns of the Vedas constitute Naadha Brahman (God in the form of sound), which is highly potent. Even if you cannot chant the Vedas, mere listening to the recitation of the Vedas is itself capable of purifying your mind and elevating you to a higher level. Though the child does not know the meaning of the lullaby sung by its mother, it is induced to sleep hearing the tune. Similarly, listening to the chanting of the Vedas with undivided attention will confer upon you immense benefit.

Sai Baba is among the most popular of Indian saints, and continues to have a large following. His image seems to be everywhere: it may be seen on shrines, lockets, billboards and cars of Hindus. While he is recognizable throughout India, his devotees are especially numerous in the state of Maharashtra, the place of his birth and in Andhra Pradesh. His samadhi is a well-known place of pilgrimage.

Many religious teachers, groups and organizations promote his teachings and devotion to Sai. Among the most prominent is the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, which also takes care of the shrines and temples in Shirdi.

Some followers of Sai Baba achieved fame as spiritual figures: these include Upasni Maharaj of Sakori and Meher Baba of Ahmednagar.

It is the sense of duality of 'mine' and 'thine' which accounts for all the joys and sorrows, likes and dislikes experienced by man. This duality is rooted in selfishness, which makes one think that as long as one is alright, it does not matter what happens to the world. Such a self-centred person, who regards his body, his wealth and his family as all that matter to him, is deluded, for he looks upon truth as untruth and the false as true. To get rid of this deep-seated malaise, men have to engage themselves in service. They have to realise that the body has not been given to serve one's own interests but to serve others.

The entire universe is the reflection of the Supreme Being. Dhrishti (vision) determines your view of Shrishti (Creation).

Man's ego is the cause of his divisive attitude. The man who is caught up in the coils of his ego cannot recognise God. When the ego merges in the Atma, there is Mukti (liberation). The Aham (ego) arises from the Atma. From the ego, thought emerges and thought is the source of Vaak (speech). All these have emerged from the Atma. It is only when the ego goes that the truth of the Atma can be realised. It is ego that is the cause of man's bondage. Man comes from the Brahman (God), grows in the Brahman and merges in the Brahman. The aim of spiritual Sadhana is to make man recognise the unity that underlies the entire creation and enable him to realise the bliss in union with the Divine. This can be achieved through Karma, Upasana and Jnana (righteous action, devotion and spiritual wisdom).

Devotion to one's motherland is as important as devotion to God. When integrity and patriotism are developed in an individual, his vision becomes broad and his outlook balanced. The motherland is not just a place on the map or an extent of land or a collection of names; it is verily the Mother who feeds the body as well as the mind. It teaches the art of progressing towards the supreme goal of life, namely, self-realization. It is thus the embodiment of both Lakshmi (Goddess of prosperity) and Saraswathi (Goddess of knowledge).

The Vedas, the Gita, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavatha contain the message of God; they should be taken to the doors of every human.

Sadhaka must be fed on it, so that the seeker may grow in health and strength, courage and confidence; because this is something which once you get, you can never lose.

It is Jnana (Self-Knowledge, Knowledge of the Self). There is another thing which if you once lose, you can never get back; that is Maya. There is a third thing, which you can never get, for it is You yourself; you can never lose also, for it is You yourself that is Brahman.

A true human being is one who embodies good habits, helps ever and hurts never. You should not merely be an Aakara Manava (human in form); you should become an Aachara Manava (human in conduct). Speak good, see good, do good and be good. Divinity will manifest in you only when your conduct is good.

Spiritual life does not mean leaving the home and living in a solitary place. True spiritual life means looking upon the whole of mankind as one family and realising the unity in diversity and leading a life of selflessness and love. Consider spiritual life as 'sugar' and worldly life as 'tasteless water' in your daily life. Do not labour to amass wealth, but instead engage yourself in selfless service to earn credit in the bank of God.

The ills of humanity are due to the undernourishment, not so much of the body, but of the spirit caused by want of spiritual exercise and neglect of spiritual regimen. It must be understood that the root cause of suffering is due to lack of wisdom that enables you to realise the indwelling unity amongst apparent diversity. The safest and surest means of uprooting this suffering is by removing ignorance, resulting in the realisation of the Reality.

One of the first principles of right living is: practise silence. For the voice of God can be heard in the region of your heart only when the tongue is stilled and storms of the mind are calmed. There will be no temptation for others to shout when you talk to them in whispers. Set the level of the tone as low as possible, yet audible enough for the people you are speaking to. Conserve sound, since it is a manifestation of God.

Health is wealth. Without a healthy body, man cannot execute any of his thoughts, however noble they may be. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.

Have your meals on time and relish what you eat. Also, while eating, be filled with positive thoughts - that will bestow upon you good health.

In the first instance, give up all bad habits; you will automatically gain good health, which will confer a strong body.

You can then lead an ideal and meritorious life full of happiness and bliss.

What is the inner significance of worshipping the elephant-faced deity Ganesha? The elephant is a symbol of might and magnitude. The elephant's foot is larger than that of any other animal. The elephant can make its way through the densest jungle. In this way, it signifies the quality of a leader who shows the way for others. The elephant is also known for its faithfulness and gratitude. These are the lessons man should learn from the elephant. Intelligence without gratitude is valueless. Every man should be grateful to those who have helped him

At one time we are joyous and at another time we are sorrowful. The same object which is a source of happiness turns out to be a source of agony with the passage of time. Therefore, joy and grief are only states of mind and the objects which are themselves subject to change cannot give us lasting happiness. Whatever is transient cannot be real. Knowing that the life of enjoyment is naturally inimical to serious spiritual effort, good people consider difficulties as stepping stones to a higher life.

Whatever talents a person may possess, they must be dedicated to the service of humanity, indeed of all living beings. Therein lies life's fulfillment. All men are kin, moulded out of the same five elements, with the same divine essence residing in everyone. Service to your fellowmen will help your divinity to blossom, for service to man is service to God. God resides in the heart of every man and every living being, in every stone and stump. Let every act be a flower to be offered at the feet of God, free from the creeping worms of envy and egoism and full of the fragrance of love and sacrifice.

Man has the unique capacity to realise and appreciate the beauty of creation and express feelings of love, compassion and sympathy towards his fellow-beings. He can delve not only into the secrets of nature, but also into his own mystery, and discover the divinity within himself. However, engrossed in the material world, he has lost all sense of spirituality and sublimity. Truth has become just a word in the dictionary; virtues like humility, patience and reverence too seem to have lost their relevance. The only thing that man can hold on to in this dreary darkness is the name of God. That is the raft which will take him across the stormy sea of the world.

Worship God in any form or with any name. In fact, God has thousands of names and a myriad forms. Ek Prabhu Ke Anek Naam (the one Lord has many names). While worshipping the Lord with a thousand names, you should be fully aware that it is the same Divinity you are addressing. Rama, Krishna, Allah, Jesus, etc., all are names denoting the same Divinity. Unity alone is the reality. Ekam Sath Viprah Bahudha Vadanthi (Truth is one, but the wise ones refer to it by many names).

What is the proper offering to God? Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says - Patram, Pushpam, Phalam, Toyam (leaf, flower, fruit and water). What do these signify? Your body is the leaf; your heart is the flower; your mind is the fruit and the tears of bliss is the water to be offered to God. Instead of attaching undue importance to this ephemeral body, emphasise on the Atma tatwa (Atmic principle). The body is to be surrendered unto God by undertaking acts of worship and other sacred deeds.

Keep this thought in your mind, "I am not a mere man, I am the embodiment of Divinity." Have this conviction fixed in your mind and you will realise this truth. As it is said, Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavathi (the knower of Brahman becomes verily Brahman). If you perceive yourself as Divine, you become Divine. If you consider yourself a human being, you will remain so. While your form is that of a human being, there is the Atmic principle in you. To recognise this Atman, you have to keep your heart pure and empty of negativity. The main aim of these festivities is purification of the mind.

Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism are present, there divinity becomes manifest. Success and prosperity comes to the one with these six virtues. However, these qualities are put to test from time to time. Just as a student has to face various tests, these qualities are also subject to trials. Such trials should be regarded as stepping stones to higher achievements. These trials are in the form of losses, troubles, pains, sufferings and calumny. One has to overcome these troubles with courage and self-confidence and forge ahead. Without self-confidence, these six qualities cannot be acquired.

Many feel that it is human to err and that Bhagavan should forgive their lapses.

In fact, if they were truly human, they should not commit mistakes at all. Even if sometimes a mistake is committed, willingly or unwillingly, it should not be repeated again. It is a grievous error to think that it is natural for a human being to err. Such feelings should not be entertained by anyone.

You should realise that you are not weak, and you are not an animal. Nor are you a demon; you are a human being. When you have such convictions, you will not commit any mistakes.

To follow the directives of the senses is the mark of an animal. To be guided by the Atma is the sign of a human being. None should attempt to justify his or her weaknesses and lapses as natural to a human being. They should be regarded as signs of mental debility. When you have truly acquired sense-control, you will experience the power of the Divine in you. - BABA

Jnana (knowledge) does not mean mere acquaintance with books. Nor is it worldly knowledge. Only the person who has recognised that the individual is not distinct from the universal is a real Jnani (man of wisdom). True wisdom consists in awareness of the unity of the individual and the Samashti (collective whole). How can a man who is not aware of his humanness recognise the Divinity within himself? Hence the first requisite is the recognition by everyone of his human essence.

Birth as a human being is a rare and unique opportunity.
For, man is endowed with a discriminating intelligence, the power to reason out the best among alternative courses of action. The tongue that does not chant the name of God, the hand that knows no charity, the years of life that know no peace of mind, talents that do not find fulfillment, a life that has not garnered wisdom, a temple where there is no atmosphere of reverence, speech that does not communicate knowledge - all these are of no value.

Nothing escapes His attention. Therefore, we should always keep our minds filled with good thoughts as God is constantly pronouncing the blessing of fulfilment saying 'Tathaasthu' (so be it!).

Several fuels like petroleum, coal, etc. are extracted from deep within the earth. Wherefrom did they arise in the first place? Over a long period of time, they have accumulated deep inside. Now they are making their appearance outside. In the same way, evil tendencies like desire, anger, hatred, etc., are accumulated in you, hidden in you. Sometime or the other, they are bound to come out. So, take care that they do not even make their entry into you. You should discriminate and ensure that only good qualities enter you. This is the true human value. The very attempt to control or restrain your anger is a sign of weakness. In fact, you have to cultivate your nature in such a manner that the very feeling of anger does not enter you.

Anger is the nature of a dog. Wavering mind is the quality of a monkey. You are neither a dog nor a monkey. When you are in a fit of anger, remind yourself that you are not a dog and your anger will diminish. Many animal qualities are rampant in human beings today.

The rope is mistaken to be a snake and the perceiver flees in fear. This tells us that the eye is but a window through which the soul sees the external world. The soul is the motive force of all the senses. Of what use is the eye, when you do not possess 'Samadrishti'. 'Sama' means Brahman, the Absolute Reality; 'Samadrishti' means seeing only Brahman, the One, in all things at all times. This Ekathwam (Oneness) is the fundamental truth. All other experiences are false. Dwell on that in your meditation. Fix it in your inner consciousness. That is the path of Liberation.

JAI SAI ,
BABA SAYS.
A Collection from Sri Sai Satcharita

Why fear when I am here?

I am formless and everywhere

I am in everything and beyond. I fill all space.

All that you see taken together is Myself.

I do not shake or move.

If one devotes their entire time to me and rests in me, need fear nothing for body and soul.

If one sees me and me alone and listens to my Leelas and is devoted to me alone, they will reach God.

My business is to give blessings.

I get angry with none. Will a mother get angry with her children? Will the ocean send back the waters to the several rivers?

I will take you to the end.

Surrender completely to God.

If you make me the sole object of your thoughts and aims, you will gain the supreme goal.

Trust in the Guru fully. That is the only sadhana.

I am the slave of my devotee.

Stay by me and keep quiet. I will do the rest.

What is our duty? To behave properly. That is enough.

My eye is ever on those who love me.

Whatever you do, wherever you may be, always bear this in mind: I am always aware of everything you do.

I will not allow my devotees to come to harm.

If a devotee is about to fall, I stretch out my hands to support him or her.

I think of my people day and night. I say their names over and over.

My treasury is open but no one brings carts to take from it. I say, “Dig!” but no one bothers.

My people do not come to me of their own accord; it is I who seek and bring them to me.

All that is seen is my form: ant, fly, prince, and pauper

However distant my people may be, I draw them to me just as we pull a bird to us with a string tied to its foot.

I love devotion.

This body is just my house. My guru has long ago taken me away from it.

Those who think that Baba is only in Shirdi have totally failed to know me.

Without my grace, not even a leaf can move.

I look on all with an equal eye.

I cannot do anything without God’s permission.

God has agents everywhere and their powers are vast.

I have to take care of my children day and night and give an account to God of every paisa.
The wise are cheerful and content with their lot in life.

If you are wealthy, be humble. Plants bend when they bear fruit.

Spend money in charity; be generous and munificent but not extravagant.

Get on with your worldly activities cheerfully, but do not forget God.

Do not kick against the pricks of life.

Whatever creature comes to you, human or otherwise, treat it with consideration.

Do not be obsessed by the importance of wealth.

See the divine in the human being.

Do not bark at people and don’t be aggressive, but put up with others’ complaints.

There is a wall of separation between oneself and others and between you and me. Destroy this wall!

Give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, and clothes to the naked. Then God will be pleased.

Saburi (patience) ferries you across to the distant goal.

The four sadhanas and the six Sastras are not necessary. Just has complete trust in your guru: it is enough.

Meditate on me either with form or without form, that is pure bliss.

God is not so far away. He is not in the heavens above, nor in hell below. He is always near you.

If anyone gets angry with another, they wound me to the quick.

If you cannot endure abuse from another, just say a simple word or two, or else leave.

What do we lose by another’s good fortune? Let us celebrate with them, or strive to emulate them.

That should be our desire and determination.

I stay by the side of whoever repeats my name.

If formless meditation is difficult, then think of my form just as you see it here. With such meditation, the difference between subject and object is lost and the mind dissolves in unity.

If anyone offends you do not return tit for tat.

I am the slave of those who hunger and thirst after me and treat everything else as unimportant.

Whoever makes me the sole object of their love, merges in me like a river in the ocean.

Look to me and I will look to you.

What God gives is never exhausted, what man gives never lasts.

Be contented and cheerful with what comes.

My devotees see everything as their Guru.

Poverty is the highest of riches and a thousand times superior to a king’s wealth.

Put full faith in God’s providence.

Whoever withdraws their heart from wife, child, and parents and loves me, is my real lover.

Distinguish right from wrong and be honest, upright and virtuous.

Do not be obsessed by egotism, imagining that you are the cause of action: everything is due to God.

If we see all actions as God’s doing, we will be unattached and free from karmic bondage.

Other people’s acts will affect just them. It is only your own deeds that will affect you.

Do not be idle: work, utter God’s name and read the scriptures.

If you avoid rivalry and dispute, God will protect you.

People abuse their own friends and family, but it is only after performing many meritorious acts that one gets a human birth. Why then come to Shirdi and slander people?

Speak the truth and truth alone.

No one wants to take from me what I give abundantly.

Do not fight with anyone, nor retaliate, nor slander anyone.

Harsh words cannot pierce your body. If anybody speaks ill of you, just continue on unperturbed.

Choose friends who will stick to you till the end, through thick and thin.

Meditate on what you read and think of God.

I give my devotees whatever they ask, until they ask for what I want to give.

You should not stay for even one second at a place where people are speaking disrespectfully of a saint.

If you do not want to part with what you have, do not lie and claim that you have nothing, but decline politely saying that circumstances or your own desires prevent you.

Let us be humble.

Satsang that is associating with the good is good. Dussaya, or associating with evil-minded people, is evil and must be avoided.

What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get.

Recognize the existence of the Moral Law as governing results. Then unswervingly follow this Law.

All gods are one. There is no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim. Mosque and temple are the same.

Fulfill any promises you have made.

Death and life are the manifestations of God’s activity. You cannot separate the two. God permeates all.

Mukti is impossible for those addicted to lust.

Gain and loss, birth and death are in the hands of God.

When you see with your inner eye. Then you realize that you are God and not different from Him.

Avoid unnecessary disputationò

The giver gives, but really he is sowing the seed for later: the gift of a rich harvest.

Wealth is really a means to work out dharma. If one uses it merely for personal enjoyment, it is vainly spent.

To God be the praise. I am only the slave of God.

God will show His love. He is kind to all.

Whenever you undertake to do something, do it thoroughly or not at all.

One’s sin will not cease till one falls at the feet of Sadhusò

Be ashamed of your hatred. Give up hatred and be quiet.

The Moral Law is inexorable, so follow it, observe it, and you will reach your goal: God is the perfection of the Moral Law.

I am your servants’ servant.

Always think of God and you will see what He does.

Have faith and patience. Then I will be always with you wherever you are.

Men are born with a helpless lamenting cry; they should depart from the world with a smile of joy. That is the purpose of the years of life in between. But those years are wasted now. God, who is the anchor that saves man from the tempests of grief and despair, is neglected and ignored. Man is tossed about from one want to another, one grief to another, until he is blinded by despair and exhausted by foiled pursuits. Most illnesses are due to this despair and this exhaustion.

The human being is referred to as 'Nara'. 'Ra' means that which is perishable. 'Na' means not. 'Nara' refers therefore to that which is imperishable in man, the Atma (Spirit). Consequently, sorrow should be alien to him. He should shed no tear. Deem yourself as Divine. Live with this firm conviction. The divinity in every being should be revered. You have to recognise unity in diversity. Do not give room to any bad thoughts. The body is a temple of the Divine and no evil thoughts should be harboured within it.

Man is the repository of divine energy. Durga (Goddess of energy), Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth) and Saraswati (Goddess of wisdom) are present in him. Human life is highly sacred. Man has all the capacity to experience divine bliss. Man considers himself to be a weakling because he has forgotten the principle of the Self. His evil qualities, wicked deeds and misconduct have brought him down to this sorry state. This is the effect of evil company. As is the company, so are the thoughts. Hence, it is said, "Tell me your company, I shall tell you what you are." Your friendship influences your nature. Evil propensities are impediments in the spiritual path. Hence, man should distance himself from all evil actions and undertake good deeds. Only then will he have the right to call himself a human being.

Lord Krishna has said in the Bhagavad Gita, "Mamaivamso Jeevaloke Jeevabhuta Sanathanah" (all beings are an eternal part of My Self). God is present in the heart of one and all. It is because of Bhrama (delusion) that man is unable to realise his divine nature. In the first instance, man should make efforts to overcome this delusion and realise that God is always with him, in him, around him, above him and below him. There cannot be any defects or imperfections in such a divine principle. Whatever defects you think you see are purely the result of your imagination.

The illustrious Sri Shirdi Sai Baba was the first of the three-faceted Kalki-Avataars of the Kali Yuga. The Avatars are born to reverse the destructive effect of the Kali Yuga and lead it into the light and peaceful Sathya Yuga. The primary purpose of the birth of the powerful tripple incarnations are to protect the earth and avoid a total destruction of the world from man's illeffect on nature. All three Poorna Avataars originate from one source moving from body-to-body and are born as 1. Shirdi Sai Baba, 2. Sathya Sai Baba and the future, 3. Prema Sai Baba.

It took sages and rishis hundreds of years of continuous prayers and penance to attract and pull the powers of the Kalki Avataar to take birth in this age. The birth of the Kalki has been predicted for thousands of years in ancient scriptures. Humanity owes unlimited gratitude to the saints of the past whoms penance and prayers have given the world this opportunity.

Shirdi Sai Baba was born in Pathri village in Maharasthra State in 1835 or 1838, to a poor Hindu couple. The mother was a very pious woman who received a boon from a real-life vision of the Goddess Parvati and her consort Shiva. She was blessed to give birth to a divine child. His divine birth generated such effulgence and surge of dispassionate into his parents, they lost all interest in material life. The father intended to leave the family for his spiritual quest but his wife prepared to follow. In an extreme [and rather foolish] decision and probably much due to fate, the newborn was abandoned and left by the roadside. A childless Muslim Fakir and his wife found the child and took him home as their own. The fakir passed away in due time and the fakir's wife who had great affection for the child brought him up. Avataars are revolutionaries and always aware of their mission; the four year old child created an upstir in the community by praising Allah in the local Hindu temples and sing Hindi bhajans in mosques. One of Shirdi Sai Baba's main tasks was to unite the animosity that was common between the Hindu and Muslim community during his time. He would switch roles between being a Hindu and a Muslim on many occasions in his life, always causing discussions as to his real origin. Afraid of the consequences and not wanting to be dragged into disputes, after four years the child was handed over to a local philosopher in 1839 - Gopal Rao Deshmukh (Venkusa) - and was brought up under his care for 12 years. Venkusa was no ordinary person but a great saint.

Shirdi Baba stayed with Venkusa until the age of 16 and thereafter left to wander. He ended up in Shirdi village, where he began to live under a particular neem tree. According to some data Shirdi had claimed that his former guru (from a past birth) was burried under the tree. Baba had also told devotees much later in life that he had lived as the poet saint Kabir (15th century).
Shirdi Baba, who was officially nameless until the age of 20-21, suddenly disappeared from Shirdi for three years. He was brought back to Shirdi by Chandhubhai Patel in 1858 when Patel was searching for a missing horse belonging to him. Baba helped Patel to locate the horse through his supernatural abilities and Patel begged the Baba to accompany him to Shirdi. It is mainly from Patel's encounter with Shirdi Baba in 1858 onwards that the recorded reports contained in the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins while little is known of Shirdi Baba's life prior to that. In modern days there is often an impression given that the lives of saints like Shirdi Baba was always well received by the people. This is not fully true. Sri Shirdi Sai Baba was a temperamental personality and like so many saints throughout history he was viewed as rather 'mad' by his surrounding until he was more known. He lived as a very poor mendicant, often walking rounds begging for food and for oil to his singular small oil-lamp. He was often the source of pranks by those around him who were unable to see his true nature. Shirdi Sai Baba became accepted as a great saint on a broad scale after his mahasamadhi and particularly, after the Shri Sai Satcharita was compiled and the people began to hear stories of his greatness. His actual divine qualities were recognized by fairly few people during his own lifetime.

The Shri Sai Satcharita was compiled many years after Shirdi Sai Baba's passing (Mahasamadhi). According to Sathya Sai Baba some of the stories are slightly altered because by that time they were written down from memory. Many of the individuals who had contributed their stories to the Sai Satcharitra had forgotten finer details of dates and observations as they kept no diary.

It is interesting to note that Shirdi Baba's early teacher, Venkusa, was a much beloved spiritual teacher to Sathya Sai Baba's grandfather - Kondamaraju. Venkusa was a wandering story-teller of old lores and a saint in his own right. He would make sudden and unexpected visits to Puttaparthi (then known as Gopalapalli) and adjoining villages and do house visits in these areas. Kondamaraju was very fond of Venkusa and very devoted to spiritual values. During one of Venkusa's visits he blessed the then young Kondamaraju. Venkusa foretold that 'God' would play in Kondamaraju's lap in the future. As prophesied, Sathya Sai Baba was born as the son of Kondamaraju's younger sister's daughter, Easwaramma, in 1926 - eight years after the passing of Shirdi Sai Baba. The deserted tomb of the great Venkusa who became the great messanger for the birth of Sathya Sai, lay hidden in Hussainpura and is known as The Temple of Venkavadhuta.


By the blessing of Venkavadhuta, Sri Sathya Sai Baba was born.

You should realise the truth that the principle of Atma that is present in all beings is one and the same. As man is unable to understand his true nature, he is facing all kinds of problems in life. He is deluded by thinking that he is the body. When one realises that the same Atma that dwells in him also dwells in other living beings, one will experience and enjoy Divine proximity always. One who realises the Atmic principle leads his life with the firm conviction that Daiva Sannidhi (divine proximity) is his Pennidhi (greatest wealth).

The year becomes new, and the day become holy only when you sanctify it by Sadhana (spiritual practices). Sadhana can grow blossom only in a field fertilized by love. Prema (love) is the sine qua non of Bhakthi (devotion). The love you now have toward material objects, name, fame, wife, children, etc. should be sanctified by being subsumed by the more overpowering Love of God. Let the tiny drops of your love for things material merge with the stream of love for God and be elevated. Have the love of God filling and thrilling your heart; then you will not hate anyone or indulge in unhealthy rivalries and find fault with anyone. Life becomes a sweet and fulfilling experience.

Losing Vishwasa (faith in God) amounts to losing Shwasa (life-breath) itself. Come what may, one should continue to do one's Sadhana with unflinching faith. This is the sign of true devotion. Devotion does not constitute merely singing Bhajans, performing rituals and chanting the Divine Name. You should firmly install Divinity in your heart. You should take care that worldly desires find no place in your mind. Burn to ashes all desires completely in the fire of wisdom. Even if a trace of worldliness is left in you, it will multiply manifold and lead you astray. In order to free yourself from bad deeds and bad habits, make sure that you do not have even a trace of desire in you.

The significance of the offerings made in the holy fire of a Yajna (sacrificial ritual) is that whatever is offered is transformed into Amrutha (Divine Ambrosia) and conveyed to the gods. When man sacrifices his bad qualities, he is transformed into the Divine. With this in view, the Upanishads declare: "Lead me from untruth to Truth, from ignorance to Knowledge, from death to Immortality." Thus the Yajna helps man to progress to the summit of eternal bliss.

If you earn the wealth of pure love, you become the richest person in the world. He who is contented is the richest man in the world and the one who has many desires is the poorest man in the world. Today, man is filled with desires from top to toe. As long as one has desires, one can never be happy and peaceful. Give up desires and see for yourself how much love and bliss you get. The bliss you experience will be far superior to all the happiness you have experienced before. All the bliss is within you. But you are imagining that it is outside.

When the 'tank' is full of love, all that comes out of the 'taps' will also be love. Whatever you see in others is only a reflection of your inner being. Understand this truth. If you see evil in others, it is actually the reflection of your own evil feelings. What is outside is only the reflection, reaction, and resound of what is within you.

Good and evil, happiness and misery, merit and sin depend on man's actions. As is the action, so is the result. But today man ignores the law of action and acts as he pleases. It is easy to indulge in sinful deeds but it is extremely difficult to bear the bad results they yield. The Upanishads say, "Thasmai Namah Karmane" (my salutations to action). Offer your Namaskar (salutation) to the action you perform. What is Namaskar? It is giving up the sense of ego. You should offer your salutation to the action you perform so that it becomes sacred, brings you good name and contributes to the welfare of the world. One who aspires for the welfare of the world should see to it that his thoughts and actions are in accordance with his noble aspirations.

The sanctification of the five senses is the way to Truth. If the senses are polluted, of what avail are spiritual exercises? When the water in a tank is polluted, all taps will give only polluted water. Your heart is the tank. When the heart is polluted, the senses are bound to be sullied. When the heart is filled with good thoughts and feelings, all that comes out of the senses - your speech, your vision, your actions - all will be pure.

For transforming one's life, the first requisite is proper vision. This means that one should avoid seeing what is undesirable. Having been bestowed with the great gift of vision, one should strive to see only that which is sacred and pure. What man sees is like seeds sown in the heart. The heart determines the nature of one’s thoughts. The thoughts influence one's life. Evil scenes give rise to evil thoughts. Good scenes evoke good thoughts. When sacred scenes are implanted in the heart, there will be no room for bad feelings or thoughts to grow in it.

The body is made up of five elements and is bound to perish one day or the other. But in such a transient body there exists the eternal divinity in the form of the Atma (Self). The all-pervasive divinity is known as consciousness, the limited form of which exists in the body as conscience. Consciousness and conscience are the same in terms of quality, only the quantity differs. You may collect water from the ocean in a cup, pot and a big tank. The water in these three differs only in quantity, the salinity is the same in all of them. The body may be compared to a pot. The all-pervasive consciousness exists in it as conscience.

When these are secured, all other things will come of their own accord by the grace of God. People should yearn for God. All other desires are worthless. The infinite Divine can be realized only through love, which is all-powerful. The devotee's love for the Lord is like the love of a child for its mother.

Yad bhavam thad bhavathi (One becomes what one thinks). Hence, people should see that their thoughts are pure and good. Human life is the expression of one's thoughts. Thoughts arising in the mind fill the atmosphere with waves of energy. Thought waves are very powerful. Hence, our thoughts should be sublime and sacred. No evil ideas should affect our thoughts. Evil thoughts inevitably lead to evil actions. When cruel thoughts enter the mind, men behave like cruel animals. When, instead, there are good and loving thoughts in a man, they divinise him and enable him to perform good and sacred acts. Hence, every man's heart should be filled with love, compassion and kindness.

But liberation in the ultimate sense consists in liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This means that one should redeem one’s present life so that one is free from rebirth.

THE four brothers Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha and Satrughna represent the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas. When man neglects the Divine aspect of their natures and the awareness of the Omnipresent and Omnipotent OM, he falls prey to the impulses and instincts dominated by the ego and develop faith in material gains. He spends his life in amassing wealth, power and authority over fellow-beings and believes that holding others under his sway is a desirable achievement. If there were a vacancy in Heaven, he would surely apply for the position of God, for he believes that he has all the necessary attributes.

Vedanthins (Vedic philosophers) are the second type of intellectuals, who are not fascinated by the external appearance of the tree but evince great delight in finding the "roots".

These aspects can be enhanced by right conduct and by developing Divine love. That is not true love which wanes from moment to moment and waxes from time to time. True love is unchanging and shines brightly in the heart for all time. It is unaffected by joy and sorrow, praise and blame. Such love is true devotion.

Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi, the Supreme Perfect Master of the Age, standing as our model practiced and preached these things ;

He taught us that by expansion of our love to other fellow beings and even the other species one can consolidate society.

He taught that rigorous and technical methods need not be used for spiritual upliftment. All that is needed is to bring about a qualitative change in one’s way of thinking and way of working in daily life.

He brought about a cohesive theme amidst the opposing themes of inter-cultural, inter-religious and inter-sectarian groups. This He achieved by allowing each group to have its own mode of living, religious practices and cultural modes. He succeeded in bringing out a way of life at Shirdi, which reflected a confluence of varied cultures and religions.

He practiced and preached humanism a universal brotherhood-Prophet like. He established the superiority of love and compassion above egoism - Christ like. He taught simplicity of livelihood and excellence of human virtue reflected in day to day conduct - Buddha like.

What we learn from Shri Shirdi Sai from the examples of his life style is that He went to no temples; followed no rituals; followed no specific religion or cult but only loved His people and therefore, sacrificed Himself. Love, therefore, leads to sacrifice. The Self expands from its state of Isoteric or micro individualism to a more universal and macro State.

Everyone should recognise the unity of the Atmic principle that exists in all beings. Satsang (good company) is very essential to understand this unity. Satsang does not mean association with good people, devotees or spiritual aspirants. People join such congregations and thus think that they are in Satsang. But it is not Satsang in the true sense of the term because people whom you think to be good may turn wicked later. They are bound to change. How can such temporary association confer everlasting happiness? 'Sath' is that which is changeless in all the three periods of time - past, present and future. It refers to the Atmic principle.

The true dwelling place of God is the heart of man. You don’t need to go in search of God. Not being able to recognize your innate divinity is Ajnana (ignorance). You have to enquire into the reason for this ignorance. This is mainly because you follow the Pravritthi Marga (outward path) all your life under the influence of the sense organs, which are drawn towards external objects. You are not making any effort to follow the Nivritthi Marga (inward path). Thus, you are fully engrossed in the outward activities and are completely neglecting the inward path. You see everything from a worldly point of view and do not recognize the divinity that pervades it.

Neethi means morality or right conduct. It is the path that leads one to the Divine. Good character, purity of thought, performance of meritorious deeds and selfless sacrifice are all subsumed in the term 'Neethi'. The ancients regarded Neethi as fundamental, without which the society will be maimed. Morality is not something that you must force upon yourself; it is your natural quality. Therefore, first and foremost, cultivate morality. Only then will divinity blossom in you. The entire world will prosper when man adheres to morality. Wherever you are, whatever you do, consider morality as the basis of your life. Morality alone grants true and lasting reputation.

Egoism is a thorny bush, which when planted and fostered in one's heart, makes one pay the penalty. Egoism makes enemies of even dearest friends; it ruins many good causes and projects, for it does not allow two competent men to work together. Grief follows it like a shadow. Joy, peace, courage, co-operation and love flourish in the absence of the ego. When man is aware that the same Divine consciousness that motivates him is equally motivating all others, then love ousts the ego to the background and takes charge of man's actions, words and thoughts.

The remembrance of God and repetition of His Name is the only means of liberation that is easily accessible to all. People tend to treat the Name of the Lord casually, not realizing its potency. The power of the entire cosmos is contained in it. You must understand the significance of the Name properly and use it in the right way. Bhajan is an effective activity by which Kama (desire) and Krodha (anger) can be kept away.

Why do you repeat the word “Shanti” (peace) thrice? You pray that you may have peace at all the three levels - physical, mental and spiritual. You are not one, but three: the one you think you are - physical body, the one others think you are - mind and the one you really are - Atma. All the three aspects of your being must be in a state of peace. This can be achieved only through love. The evil traits of hatred, jealousy and pride should be cast aside. These are not human qualities, but animal traits. You are a human being. Love is the chief quality of man, truth is his basis and righteousness is his very life. When you cultivate these three, you will definitely attain peace.

God's grace is the greatest wealth. To consider the amassing of money, gold or other material objects as the ultimate goal is not right. The goal of life instead, should be the acquisition of the divine wealth of God's grace. Try to win His grace by reforming your habits, reducing your desires and refining your nature. One step makes the next one easier; that is the unique quality of the spiritual path. With each step, your strength and confidence increases and you feel the Lord's grace all the more.

Follow the call of the Divine arising from the hearts of all living beings. Serve them in an attitude of worship, not expecting anything in return. Do not accept even gratitude, having dedicated all your acts to the indwelling God. This will purify you so that you will be able to listen to the 'Soham' (I am He) that your breath repeats every moment. 'Soham' transmutes itself into 'Om' when the distinction between He and I has dissolved in the union with the Absolute.

You can adore God according to your own fancy and pleasure. He remains unchanged even when the names and forms by which you adore Him keep changing. The effectiveness does not lie in which name or form you worship, but with how much yearning and depth of feeling you adore Him in your heart. God will assume that very form which you pray to and fulfil your yearning; that is the indication of His grace and the boundless love He has for you.

It is the nature of a magnet to attract iron. But, if the iron is covered with the rust, it will be unable to get attracted by that magnetic power. Greed for sensual pleasure is one of the causes for this harmful rust to accumulate. Hence, care has to be taken to ensure that the rust never forms. Then, the iron piece, by contact with the magnet takes on the magnetic quality and attains the object of its quest. The dust of sensual greed can be kept at bay by keeping good company, and putting into practice the axioms of good conduct that one can imbibe from such sacred company.

The sages of India sought to know that knowledge which when gained, everything else becomes known. The expression of that discovery in practical life is Love; for, it is Love that creates, sustains and envelops all. Without Love, no one can claim to have succeeded in comprehending God and His handiwork, the Universe. God is Love, live in Love - that is the teaching of the sages. The heart has to be prepared by means of Namasmarana (constant repeating of the Name). This constitutes a Yoga in itself, 'Chittha shuddhi yoga', the path of Consciousness-cleansing." Charge every second of your time with the powerful Divine current that radiates from the Name.

Life is a long pilgrimage along the rough and torturous road of this world. But, with the Name of God on his lips, the pilgrim will know no thirst; with the Form of God in his heart, he will feel no exhaustion. The company of the holy will inspire him to travel in hope and faith. The assurance that God is ever near will lend strength to his limbs. Remember that with every step, you are nearing God; and God too, takes ten steps towards you when you take one step towards Him. This journey does not have any halts; it is one continuous journey, through tears and smiles, through birth and death. When the road ends, and the Goal is attained, the pilgrim finds that he has travelled only from himself to himself, that the God he sought was all the while in him, around him, with him, and beside him! He himself was always Divine.

Motherhood is the most precious gift of God. Mothers are the makers of a nation's fortune, for they shape the sinews of its soul. These sinews are toughened by two lessons - fear of sin and fondness of virtue. As the mother, so the sweetness of culture. As the mother, so the progress of the nation. If mothers take care of their families, they will be protecting the nation. Mothers should foster in their children, love for truth, righteousness and narrate inspirational stories of great men and women.

Understand the truth that among the myriad forms of life, human life is the most sacred. Man should make an effort to understand his innate divine power and lead his life in a way so as to uphold Dharma (righteousness). Birds and beasts act according to their innate nature, but man is forgetting his responsibility of fostering righteousness. Many are under the mistaken notion that education is meant for Udyoga (employment). Udyoga without Yoga (communion with the Divine) is futile. Contemplation on God is true Yoga and Udyoga. That is the primary duty of man. Man’s life will shine forth brilliantly only when his mind is filled with divine love. The one who has total faith in God and love for God will lead a life of joy and bliss.

Ponder over all the things for which you have cried so far. You will find that you have craved only for paltry things, for momentary distinctions, for fleeting fame. Instead, you should cry only for God, for your own cleansing and consummation. You should weep, for the six cobras that have sheltered themselves in your mind, poisoning it with their venom: Lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and malice. Quieten them as the snake charmer does with his swaying flute. The music that can tame them is the Name of God. Thereafter, they become playthings; you can handle them as you please. When these are laid low, you will gain equanimity and you will remain unaffected by honour or dishonour, profit or loss, joy or grief.

It is the means by which one can discover God; see Him in the beauty, the grandeur, the order, the majesty of Nature. These are but shadows of His Glory and His Splendour.

What is 'Moksha'? It is giving up of the 'Anatma', the unreal. Suppose you want a glass of fruit juice, unless you throw away the water already in the glass, you cannot pour juice in to the glass. Similarly, unless you give up worldly desires, 'Atmabhava' (spirituality) cannot take root in you. When you spend your hours immersed in thoughts about God, you become free from evil ways. You will not be tempted to abuse others or harm them in any way. You begin to live in Love, accepting all events as His gifts. Then your home verily becomes heaven on Earth; the joy that bubbles in your heart is the symbol of Vaikunta (abode of Lord Vishnu); the earnestness and care that you evince in your work will symbolise Kailasha (the abode of Lord Shiva).

What is meant by birth and death? To assume a body is birth and to cast off the same is death. It is out of delusion that man experiences the dualities of birth and death. When we inhale with the sound 'So', the life principle enters our body and when we exhale 'Ham', it goes out. Every moment, this process of inhalation and exhalation reminds us of our inherent divinity - 'So-ham' (I am God). So long as there is life-breath, the body is considered to be Shivam (auspicious). Once the life-breath ebbs away, it becomes Shavam (corpse). Both birth and death are related to the body and not to the life principle. Man experiences birth and death because of his body attachment. He will be released from the cycle of birth and death only when he gives up body attachment and surrenders himself completely to the Will of God.

Spirituality does not mean performing worship, going on pilgrimages or singing Bhajans. Spirituality lies in destroying the animal tendencies and rising to the level of divinity. So long as there are animal tendencies in man, he cannot rise to the level of divinity. You are neither a wild animal to cause fear in others nor a docile domestic animal to be afraid of others. You are born as a human being with noble human qualities. So, recognise your humanness and divinity. But man today is not able to realise this truth and, consequently, he is frittering away his life.

All names and forms are based on your feelings. God has no differences whatsoever. No one can comprehend the nature of Divinity. Actually, the principle of love that exists in all beings is the principle of Divinity. Love has no specific form. Divinity transcends name and form. In fact, all names and forms belong to the same God. He responds to the prayers of devotees in whatever form they worship Him. Hence, each one considers the form he worships to be superior to the other forms. It is a sign of ignorance to consider one form superior to the other. What is important is that your prayers should not be confined to mere words. They should be translated into action. It is easy to speak but not so easy to practise. True prayer is that which is translated into action.

It is a grave mistake to identify yourself with the body. Give up body attachment and develop Atmic consciousness. Only then will you understand and experience your true form, i.e., Atma. Otherwise, even the smallest physical ailments will make you feel anxious. Physical ailments are like passing clouds. So long as you are deluded by body consciousness, you will be affected by them. Once you give up body attachment, you are no more bound by the body and its limitations. When you sit in meditation, you forget your body. Meditation means giving up Dehabhimaana (body attachment) and developing Atmic awareness. Understand that you are not the body. You are "I". Everyone while referring to one's self uses the term "I", the principle of Atma. Hence, you are not the body. It is only an instrument. "I" is your true identity.

Truly speaking, you are the very embodiments of love. Let the stream of love flow from one heart to another. Consider love as your life. This is your foremost duty. You may search anywhere in the world, you cannot find anything greater than love. You can conquer the whole world with the weapon of love. There is nothing that you cannot achieve with the power of love. Love is the supreme power. True human value lies in sharing and experiencing the supreme love. The power of love is unmatched.

Make best use of the present moment to become aware of the Divinity latent in all.

Today, people perform various Sadhanas (spiritual exercises) to experience divinity. Will God come closer to you because of these Sadhanas or does He go away from you if you do not perform them? No. It is only the Bhrama (delusion) that goes away from you when you perform the Sadhanas. As a result, you become closer to Brahma (God). You should make every effort to get rid of Bhrama. Give up the feeling that you are the body and you are the doer. Only then can you be free from delusion and fear. Reduce your body attachment. That is the Sadhana you are supposed to undertake. Spiritual practice does not lie in the performance of Japa (repetition of God's Name), Thapa (penance), Dhyana (meditation), etc. Develop firm faith that you are God.

From today onwards, the period of next six months is called 'Uttarayana' as the sun appears to move northwards in the sky. The northern direction, in Indian scriptures, is associated with the Gods, and so, these six months are considered specially suitable for Sadhana (spiritual discipline). But you must be concerned more with the 'Sun' in your inner firmament than in the depths of outer space, for you are concerned with the inner illumination, more than external light and energy. What is the Sadhana that will move the inner Sun Godward? God is hidden and obstructed by the clouds of egoism. Getting rid of egoism is the Sadhana to be practised. Service is the best cure for egoism; so, engage in it to relieve pain and grief of others to the extent that you can.

Every object in creation has five aspects, namely, Sath, Chith, Ananda, Rupa and Nama (existence, consciousness, bliss, form and name). The first three are eternal principles, whereas name and form are ephemeral. Sath, Chith and Ananda are the basis for name and form. People attribute various names and forms to God on the basis of their own feelings. They forget the three main principles of Sath, Chith and Ananda and assume name and form to be the sole reality. In reality, name and form are not permanent. But people are overwhelmed by name and form and ignore the eternal principles of Sath, Chith and Ananda. Consequently, they are deluded and tend to forget the mighty power of God behind the name and form.

Joy and pleasure earned by karma (actions) are only temporary. Nevertheless, one cannot and should not desist from karma. How then is one to act? One should practise detachment and desirelessness towards the results of karma. That is to say, one should treat all karmas as Yajna (sacrifice) performed for the glory of God and not for selfish ends, for earning lasting merit and not for temporary benefits. The Nishkaama Karma (desireless action) mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita is the real Yajna. Karma performed in that spirit will not cause either greed or grief; it will fill you with a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

The body is made up of five elements and is bound to perish sooner or later, but the Indweller has neither birth nor death. The Indweller has no attachment whatsoever and is the eternal witness. Truly speaking, the Indweller, who is in the form of the Atma, is verily God Himself. The Atma has neither birth nor death. It has no pain or suffering. Only the body has suffering, not the Atma. The physical body comes and goes. You are not the body; you are the embodiments of the Atma. One has to get rid of body attachment in order to enjoy peace and happiness. Gradually reduce your Dehabhimana (body consciousness) and develop Atmabhimana (Atmic consciousness). Body consciousness and Atmic consciousness are inversely proportional.

All forms are the forms of divinity. But because of worldly feelings, man views multiplicity in unity. Man should undertake such spiritual practices that will enable him to visualise unity. The fundamental basis for the apparent multiplicity is only one. Atma is the undercurrent in all names and forms. Atma means the power of consciousness. Man is not making any effort to know the principle of non-dualism. He is carried away by the multiplicity and thus is leading a life of ignorance. Realise that the same Atma dwells in one and all.

Man's life is bound by Kala, Karma, Karana and Kartavya (time, action, cause, duty). Due to the effect of the Kali age, man does not work hard; he has become lethargic. You have to sanctify your life by performing righteous action. Action is the cause for everything. It is very unfortunate that man has not understood the importance of action. He wants to lead an easy life. It is said, "Kashte Phali" (hard work alone yields rich rewards). The rewards that one gets will be commensurate with the efforts one puts in. One should recognise this truth and work hard accordingly. It is said in the Gita, "Karmanubandheeni Manushya Loke" (human society is bound by action). Nobody should waste time. Right from the time he wakes up in the morning, man should utilise his time and energy for the welfare of society. This is his main duty.

Only truth and righteousness can confer peace and prosperity on the world today. Sathyam Vada; Dharmam Chara (speak truth; practise righteousness). This is the most important principle of Indian culture. Once you develop truth and righteousness, peace and love will automatically follow. Righteousness is the head of Indian culture and truth its feet. But today people have severed the head and feet of Indian culture, and are clinging on to the trunk of Artha and Kama (wealth and desire). What is the use of a mere trunk without the head and feet? People are striving to protect the country. The entire world is based on the principles of truth and righteousness.

Nobody can estimate the infinite power of God. It can only be experienced in the heart. Love is the only yardstick to measure the power of Divinity. Hence, we have to develop love to experience Divinity. You have to think of God every moment. If you win the grace of God, you can overcome any obstacle and acquire any type of wealth. Man should contemplate on God, his only saviour incessantly. The world will never come to your rescue. Sarvada Sarva Kaleshu Sarvatra Hari Chintanam (everywhere, at all times and under all circumstances, contemplate on the Divine name). There is no greater Sadhana (spiritual exercise) than this.

There is a fundamental principle in this universe which is the prime mover. We must make efforts to understand that fundamental principle. First and foremost, one has to turn one's vision inwards and meditate upon the Atma Tattwa (Atmic Principle) present within. This Atma Tattwa can be realized only by constant Sadhana (spiritual practice). Several people give different names to the principle of Atma Tattwa. But, it has no name and form at all.

You see, hear, and experience many things in this world. They are nothing but the reflection, reaction, and resound of your inner being. All that you see in the outside world is actually a part of you. Consider this example. There is someone who hates you. Actually it is the hatred in you that has taken the form of hatred in him. In the same manner, adulation or denigration, good or evil are reflections of your own self. Whatever you see in the outside world, whatever you experience, be it pleasure or pain, has in fact come from within you.

Bodies are like bulbs and the principle of Atma is like the current passing through all the bulbs. Understand this oneness and share your love with one and all. Do not consider anyone to be your enemy. You consider the one who loves you to be your friend and the one who hates you to be your foe. In fact, there is neither a friend nor a foe. It is only your imagination. All are one. It is only divinity that expresses itself as mother, father, brother, sister, etc. Names and forms may be different, but the underlying truth is one.

Today, you do not find peace anywhere in the world. You see only pieces! In fact, people are breaking their heart into pieces. How then can peace be acquired? There is only one solution to this problem. Love God. Have faith in God. Surrender unto Him. Dedicate your whole life to God and carry on every activity of yours as an offering to Him. Let all your activities be helpful to others. Help ever, hurt never. If you wish to be always happy, pray for the welfare of others. This is the real Sadhana (spiritual exercise) that you should undertake. Spirituality does not mean simply doing Bhajans and performing some acts of worship. Cultivate noble qualities. Always pray for the welfare of all. It is in this context, the prayer of Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu (May all the beings of the world be happy) is addressed.

It is essential to cleanse the mind through regular Sadhana (spiritual exercises) and thereby tune your will to the infinite will of God, so that it becomes merged in His glory. Scholarship or skill, however deep and varied, have no cleansing power. They only add the impurities of pride and competition. Learned men are not necessarily good, nor are the men who possess power over the forces of nature. Sathya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Shanti (peace) and Prema (love) are the hallmarks of a purified heart, where God is enshrined and is manifest.

You can get the feeling of yearning for the Divine only if you get a taste of the Prema (Love) of the Divine. That is why I have come among you - to give you a taste of that Love so that the yearning for God will be planted in your hearts. Mastery over mountains of information has been attained by man now, but wisdom has lagged behind. Hence, man's capacity to probe and progress into the realm of the universal and the Absolute has to be developed. He must realize the truth that man's distance from Divinity is the same as his distance from himself.

You may feel that spirituality is too abstract and not easily comprehensible. The Atma Tattwa (Atmic Principle) cannot be understood and realized by merely gathering material knowledge. In fact, Atma Tattwa is beyond the scope of material knowledge. It is transcendental. It is at the base of all forms of knowledge. If one is able to realize this Atma Tattwa, he can easily realize every other aspect. The fundamental question for the basis for everything in this universe is: "Who am I?" If you enquire within yourself as to who you really are, you will ultimately realize the Truth that the "I" principle is nothing but the Atma Tattwa. Develop firm faith in that Atma Tattwa.

BABA SAID.....

"Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence. Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving and communicating with those who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be anxious that I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember Me always, believe in Me heart and soul and then you will be most benefited.


BLESS US YOUR SHRADHA & SABURI SAI....

Do not wait until you are past middle age to practice this sadhana of Namasmarana.

There are some parents who tell their children that they can take up religious practices in their old age. But a straight plant means a straight tree; a bent plant can never grow into a straight tree.

So the sadhana has to be followed from a tender age.

                                                                                    -BABA

Sai Ram,

Yes, Baba can be remembered any time , at any age.

Baba is like a mother...I cannot say I will remember my mother from 3:30 Am to 4:00 Am (Bramha Muhurtham),
If I love my mother I will spontaneouly remember her as long as I am conscious.

Baba is not bound by time, and thus is not dependent on it.

There is only one medium to touch Baba's Soul...it is genuine devotion

Baba Says



The first step to direct knowledge of God is spiritual practice; the first step in spiritual practice is

service to the Guru performed in total faith and surrender. At the same time, the responsibility of the

Guru is to instruct the disciple on the nature of God, to instruct continuously and in simple ways.

When the disciple grasps this instruction, it becomes indirect knowledge. This indirect knowledge can

be transformed into direct knowledge by constant recapitulation and by constantly turning it over in

the mind.

Unless a man has turned away his wickedness and stopped from doing wrong and has entirely composed himself, and until his mind is at rest, he cannot gain self-realization. If mind is restrained, senses being under control, it will lead to self-realization.

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE: Ten Guidelines from God
Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines
1. Quit worrying:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting Over every little thing that comes your way?
2. Put it on the list:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not your list. Put it on my to-do-list. Let me be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And although my to-do-list is long, I am after all... God. I can take care of anything you put into my hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
3. Trust me:
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem with finances? Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For my sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. Leave it alone:
Don't wake up one morning and say, "well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.
5. Talk to me:
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talk to me - often! I love you! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6. Have faith:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me; you wouldn't want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much h bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. Share:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. Be patient:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, and rush.
9. Be kind:
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.
10. Love yourself:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a god of love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that.

जो बैठा है बूढा अकेला पार्क में, हो सके तो कुछ  समय उसके साथ बिताइये ,

मेरे बाबा सांई जी का कहना है मंदिर न जाकर,

उस पीड़ित परिवार की मदद कर आइये,जो हस्पताल में पेरशान  है !

जो दुखी हो लाचार हो किसी के परिवार में कोई, उस परिवार को सांतवना दे आयिए!

एक चौराहे पर खड़ा युवक काम की तलाश में, उसे रोजगार के अवसर दिलाइये,

मेरे बाबा सांई कहते है चाय कि दुकान पर उस अनाथ बच्चे के साथ रहो उसको पढने  के लिए स्कूल भिजवा दो

जो कप प्लेट धो रहा है, पाल सकते हो , पढ़ा सकते हो , तो पढाइये,

एक बूढी औरत है जो दर - दर भटक रही है, एक अच्छा सा लिबास दिलाइये,

हो सके तो नारी आश्रम छोड़ आईये,

मेरे बाबा सांई कहते मुझे  ढूडने  मंदिर मस्जिद मत जाओ, न ही मंदिर की घंटी  बजाओ! में तो रहता हु सबके दिल में हो सके तो किसी रोते को हसना सिखा दो, भूखे को भोजन, प्यासे को पानी, भटके हुवे को राह दिखा दो ! में खुश हो जाऊंगा मेरे प्यारे बच्चे जब भी पुकारोगे भगा भगा चला आऊंगा .....................................
