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.

Believe in the Lord

Have faith in the ocean, not in the wave. Believe in the Lord, not in the little things. But, the tragedy is, you put your trust in little men, in wicked men, in men whom you know are vicious and greedy; but you hesitate, when asked to put faith in the Lord, who is merciful than any father, more loving than any mother, more powerful than any earthly authority, more considerate than any kinsman. You do not doubt each other; but, you develop doubt regarding God. Even laymen talk long and loud, when the topic for discussion is God. No one asks them their credentials.

Where is God?

If you deny God, it is as if you deny yourself. When someone asks you in great earnestness, where the God is to be found, do not try to dodge the question. Tell them He is in Prashanti Nilayam. Direct them to come to Puttaparthi and share your joy.

Reach Me

Your aim should be to please Me, to satisfy Me and to follow My directions; and the best way to please Me is to see Me in all beings and serve them just as you would like to serve Me; such worship will reach Me.

Resign Yourself

Resign yourself into God's hands; let Him give success or failure, what does it matter? He may be bent upon toughening you, or it may be for your good, in the long run. How can you judge? Who are you to judge? Do your best and keep mum.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,

Give Your Heart

Give your heart over to the Lord and move in society as a dedicated being; then no harm can come to you. Not even an eyelid can close or open without the Lord's will. So, try to get Lord's grace and leave all questions to be answered by Him according to His fancy.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Your Own Truth

You can discover your own Truth, only when you are alone with yourself and there is silence all around you. It is only in the depth of silence that the voice of God can be heard.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Recognize God

You complain that God is invisible; but, the fault is yours, not to recognize God in all His various manifestations. When the heart is pure, the Lord is revealed. God knows and God will deal with you, as you deserve. Have faith in that. Repent for all wrongs done and resolve not to repeat the mistake; then God will extend His grace.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Cannot Explain Him

You may benefit from God, but, you cannot explain Him. Your explanations are merely guesses, attempts to clothe your ignorance in pompous expressions. The mistake is, you give the brain more value than it deserves.

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

Joy of Liberation

The aeroplane has to land at certain places in order to take in those who have won the right to fly, by the tickets they have purchased. So too, the Lord has to come down, so that those who have won the right to be liberated may be saved; incidentally others too will know of the Lord, of His grace, of ways of winning it, of the joy of liberation.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Closest To You

The Lord is closest to you, He is the mother, father, teacher, friend, guide and guardian. Call on Him, and He responds immediately. From dawn to dusk, spend every minute in His company. The Lord looks for sincerity, simplicity and steady joy in the contemplation of His name and form.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Own Conscience

There is no teacher greater than one's own conscience. There is no preceptor greater than time. The world is the greatest text. God is the only true friend.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Highest Joy

God is the source of highest joy. People yearn for joy, but they accept as genuine the counterfeit joy given by the senses. No one knows that nature is but the vesture of God. There is nothing real except HE. If you have God in your side, you have the world in your hold.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,
sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba as compiled by Ramadas Gollapudi)

Towards God

When his steps are towards God, man has no reason to fear; but, when they are turned away from Him, fear haunts him at every turn. Do not get entangled in the business of living; do not forget the God that made life possible, in your struggle for survival and success.
