VEDA 60

God is the closest , the fondest, and the most reliable companion. But, man, in his blindness, ignores Him and seeks the company of others. God is present everywhere, at all times. He is the richest and most powerful guardian. Yet, you ignore Him. The Lord is here, near, loving, accessible and affectionate. but, many do not open their eyes to that great opportunity. The name will bring Him nearer to you.

The Three Avatars And Their Triple Message

The Three Avatars And Their Triple Message

The previous Avatar, Shirdi Baba, laid the base for secular integration and gave mankind the message that duty is work.  The mission of the present Avatar is to make everybody realize that the same God or divinity resides in everyone.  People should respect, love and help each other, irrespective of colour or creed.  Thus, all work can become a way of worship.  Finally, Prema Sai, the third Avatar, will promote the evangel news that not only God reside in everybody, but everybody is God.  That will be the final wisdom which will enable every man and woman to go to God.  The three Avatars carry the triple message of work, worship and wisdom.

Your Faith

Stick to your faith; do not change your loyalty, as soon as something happens or someone whispers. Do not pull down Sai Baba's picture from the wall and hang some other picture there, at the first disappointment. Leave all to Him, let His 'WILL' be carried out... that should be your attitude. Unless you go through the rough and smooth, how can you be hardened? Welcome the light and shade, the sun and the rain.

sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Thank You

Many times in my life I have disappointed you,

and begun to stray.

But you have pointed me in the right direction,

and sent me on my way.

Many times in my life I've needed a helping hand,

and someone to pull me up.

It was you who gave that helping hand,

and always cheered me up.

Many times I've been sad and down,

and taken it out on you.

But you stood by me and comforted me,

In times that I was bad.

Many times I've needed support,

and to know someone was there.

It was you who held me up,

and showed me how to care.

Many times I've wanted to tell you this,

But never got a chance.

You have helped me out in life,

and got me where I am.

You were there for me through thick and thin,

You never gave up on me and you taught me how to care.

From the deepest of my heart I want to say I love you,

And to thank you for being there for me in times of good or bad.

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 64

I want from you
A love that is the form of truth.
A love that feels truly for others.
A love that gives, gives, gives!
A love that serves Me in others.
A love that sees Me constantly.
A love that knows no fear.
A love that is content and peaceful.
A love with persevering patience.
A love that endures all and blames none.
A love that smiles in all sorrows.
A love of firm faith in God.
A love that welcomes Me in all forms.
A love that knows to surrender.
A love that is pure and untainted.
Give Me this love,
And I will open the doors to your prison,
And give you your freedom forever.

Eternal Sai - 34

Without the sanction of the Lord, man cannot achieve anything in the world. The Divine is the basis for everything. Man, however, is filled with the conceit that he is the one who is doing everything. This pride is the cause of his ruin. It is the cause of his frustration and disappointment. Man today is basing his life on reliance on Nature, forgetting God. This is a grievous mistake. You must place your faith in God, who is the prime supporter of Nature, and enjoy what Nature provides. Faith in God is the primary requisite for man.

(SSS. Vol XXII – Chap 17)

THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART (Chapter 5)(Para 16)

Amongst the virtues required, the paramount one is patience. We have a tendency to blame others, hold others responsible, to find a scapegoat for all our problems, worries and all that is lacking in our lives. As soon as something goes wrong, the human tendency is to incriminate someone other than oneself. To overcome this, just see Him in all others and in their actions. When you see everything, the good and the bad, as coming and originating from God. Every thought, the way someone treats you, everything that is said and done to you, all of it originates from that one divine mind, then indeed, you will see that it is futile and pointless to point the finger of blame at anyone. Leave everything to Him and realize that this life is merely a learning process. Never think that anyone acts outside of His will. Remember that all carry out His wishes and that if it is His will, then everything will fall into place for you. If it does not do so, then acceptance must be that it is not the divine will. To achieve this state, there is a necessity to have total and complete faith or overwhelming love for Him. Faith and love are the two wings with which one can fly high. The watch word is watch : Watch your thoughts, words, actions, character and your heart.

Humanness can be promoted only through spirituality and not by any other means.

(From : Garland of 1008 Gems, Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba's Sayings)

The Past

Divine Cosmos

The Divine is omnipresent.  The entire cosmos is permeated and sustained by this Divine Energy.  Everyone should endeavor to experience the Divine.  Man must make the effort and he is bound to realize the experience.  The necessary sacrifice must be made.  All the bad qualities have to be renounced the moment they invade the mind.  True devotion means elimination of all the animal tendencies in man.  Man should seek to realize the eternal Divine within him.  That is the primary purpose of human life.  All other accomplishments are valueless.  Man should raise himself from the animal to the Divine.  There is nothing great in earning a fortune.  What one should seek is purity of the Self; that is the essence of humanness.
