Q528

Does Grace of God confer all one needs?



The most desirable Aishwaryam (prosperity) is Easwara anugraha (the Lord's Grace); that is to say, the most desirable form of wealth is the Grace of God.  He will guard you, even as the eyelids guard the eye.  Do not doubt this.

The Joy Of Living

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and starlike things, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what-next, and the joy of the game of living.

Final Death

Birth And Death

Man is equipped with a return-ticket when he takes birth.  Holding it in his grasp, he earns and spends, rises and falls, sings and dances, weeps and wails, forgetting the end of the journey.  But, though he forgets, the wagon of life moves towards the cemetery, which is its terminus.  It brings no glory to man if he is tied helplessly to the wheel of birth and death.  His glory and greatness consist in disentangling himself from that revolving wheel.

VEDA 54

Just as every drop of the ocean has the taste, the composition and the name of the ocean, so too, every single being has the Divine taste and composition and name of the Lord. Only you don't realize it so clearly.



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

GEM 814

Bhaktas should consider the body as the field, good deeds as the seeds and cultivate the name of the Lord.

The Miracle

There is a majestic quality- In everyone for all to see. Some keep it hidden, some never realize- The magnificence they hold in others' eyes.  Ah, yes, life itself is the gift. Though the memory, itself, Time doth sift. And some might think the reverence gone- As those we love one by one pass on.  But the intricacies Fate doth weave- In commemoration for all who grieve. Are the blessings given to rebirth- From souls no-longer of this earth.  At first notice I came undone, My father staring at me through my son. But, now, in joy I ascertain- Through him, my father lives again.  I look to heavens' resounding grace- Renewed appreciation of life and my place. Knowing as each newborn child opens their eyes- The miracle continues, no one really dies.

Why The Avatars Appear In Bharat More Than In Any Other Place?

Why The Avatars Appear In Bharat More Than In Any Other Place?

A doubt may arise why such appearances take place in Bharat more than in any other place when the world is so big and we have humanity everywhere to be saved and guided.  There is a reason for this, believe Me!  Well, why should, in all India, Kolaar alone have gold?  Where there is a goldmine, there is the need for mining engineers and chemists who will extract it, separate it, purify it and distribute it to the various places where gold is in demand, is it not?

So also, it is here in India that there is a mine of spiritual wisdom and spiritual treasure : the Darshanas, Upanishads (metaphysical science and revelatory scriptures), the Geeta and the Vedas.  This has to be distributed pure and unsullied, guaranteed in value and quality, to eager aspirants everywhere and so we have here a succession of sages and saints.  On account of the teachings and lives of these people, there is a vast field of spiritual virtue in this land which needs only a little more care to yield a rich harvest.
