VEDA 21

Man has been forgetting the path prescribed in the scriptures for the cultivation of his nature, and hence all this suffering. Let the will of the Lord prevail; your duty is but to conduct yourself with the current of His grace.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 20

You must understand the wonderful human life created by God. God created everything in the world and entrusted man with the responsibility to look after them. God allowed man to use things in the world as he wished, but on one condition. He has to suffer the consequences of his actions, good or bad.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 19

I draw you to Me and then reform and reshape you. I am a kind of smith, who repairs broken, leaky, damaged hardware; I repair broken hearts and fragile minds, warped intellects, feeble resolutions and fading faith.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 18

Along the lines already familiar to you, continue the worship of God of your choice; then you will find, that you are coming nearer and nearer to Me; for all names are Mine. There is no need to change, for, you have seen Me and heard Me.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 17

You come near Me for some time and stay away into the distance. I don't mean physical distance at all. You may be physically far, but mentally by My side. I do not measure distance in miles, I am with you; in you, beside you ever. Only you have to be aware of Me and make use of My presence.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 16

To understand any one, you must be with them and near them; you must approach them; not with hatred or anger, but, in friendship and love. So too, in My case, how can you know Me, if you do not come near Me and unto Me.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 15

I would advise you to become the flute, for then, the Lord will come to you, pick you up, put you to his lips and breath through you and out of hollowness of your heart, due to the utter absence of egoism that you have developed, he will create captivating music for all creation to enjoy. Be straight without any will of your own, merge your will in the will of God. That is divine life. You can lay claim to the name of a devotee only when you have placed yourself in His hands, fully, completely, with no trace of ego kept back to cater to your vanity.




(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 14

I require from each of you, no other gift, no more valuable offering than the heart I have endowed you with. Give Me that heart back, as pure as when I gave it to you, full of the nectar of love, I have filled it with.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 13

I seek the quality of the spiritual effort, not the quantity. I penetrate into the heart and examine the motive which prompted the action, the emotion which urged, and the feeling that shaped the effort.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 12

When I ask you to do a thing, it must be instantly and willingly obeyed. The fruit of obedience is more valuable. Go to a hospital only when you are resolved to take the drug physician prescribes and go through the regimen he lays down. So obey the directions that I give, whatever others may say or however difficult they may appear to be.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 11

I have come to reform you; I won't leave you, until I do that. Even if you get away, before I do that, do not think that you can escape Me; I will hold on to you. But of one thing be assured. Whether you come to Me or not, you are all Mine. Wherever you go, you meet only Me. I am everywhere. So, you cannot run away from Me. I will demand good conduct, good habits, good thoughts, good company, wherever you go seeking refuge.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 10

I have come in order to repair the ancient highway, leading man to God. Become sincere skillful overseers, engineers and workmen and join Me.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 9

However fine a person might talk and however great his skill in the use of language, he who can clarify the truth of God has never yet been born; nor will he be ever born. One can only relate, what one has felt or experienced through His grace. He who has touched the very base, will not come again to this base world.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 8

I am now and then announcing My nature by means of miracles, that is, acts which are beyond human capacity and human understanding. Not that I am anxious to show off My powers. The object is to draw you closer to Me, to cement your hearts to Me.




(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 7

The time will soon come when this huge building or even vaster ones will be too small for the gatherings of those who are called to this place. The sky itself will have to be the roof of the auditorium of the future. I will have to forego the car and even the aeroplane, when I move from place to place, for the crowds pressing around them will be too huge; I will have to move across the sky; yes, that too will happen, believe Me.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 6

I do not need any publicity, nor does any other manifestation of the Lord. What are you daring to publicize? ME? What do you know about Me, let Me ask. You speak one thing about Me today and another tomorrow. Your faith has not become unshakable! You praise when things go well and blame when things go wrong. You flit from one refuge to another.




(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 5

I do not call upon to cultivate faith in Me or to worship Me. I want only that you should cultivate faith in yourselves, and worship the Lord who is utilizing you as His instrument. Realize that your essential core is the ATMA (the soul).




(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 4

There is none to question me if I do not act; there is nothing I would lose, if I do not engage in activity. Nor have I any great urge to be acting. But, yet you see Me ever active. The reason is, I must be doing something all the time, for your sake, as an example, as an inspiration, as a piece of training. Those who are leading must themselves follow; those who command must themselves carry out what they expect others to do. I am engaged in activity so that you may learn to transmute every minute into a golden chance to evolve yourselves into Godhood.

(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 3

You must know how to use the chance that you have got in this life to come in contact with the Lord. The lamp sheds illumination, but, it can be used for various purposes, good and bad; how you use this chance depends upon your destiny and luck and the amount of grace that you are able to win.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

VEDA 2

The Lord has to come in human form and move about among men, so that HE could be listened to, contacted, loved, revered and obeyed. He has to speak the language of men and behave like human beings, as a member of the species. Otherwise, He would be either negated and neglected or feared and avoided.
