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.

GEM 844

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.

(Sanathana Sarathi, December 1995, pg 317)

Be Happy Always

Be Happy… Always

The basic principle of the human heart is to always “be happy.” The human heart is the spiritual center of each human being. “Being happy” is the basic principle that carries the weight and structures around and above all the other necessary principles in order to conduct a peaceful and content life. “Being happy” is the complete joy that one experiences in being fully content with the true nature of his soul (atma or Self). 

Each principle comprises of a different combination of human values. For example within the principle to help all is the human values of compassion, selflessness, patience, and courage. In each of these human values is the basic feeling (or bhava) of pure unconditional love. It is this pure unconditional love that streams from the heart (or the spiritual center) of the human being and one translates this love into an act of love that becomes a human value. For example one feels a strong bond of love between him and his mother. This love then expresses itself and becomes respect. Within this respect for the mother is a stream of love that contains gratitude, faith, and loyalty.  The respect for the mother is the act of love and the gratitude, faith, and loyalty that is contained in the respect is the different proportions of human values. Both of these together form the principle of motherhood. Within this principle lie the respect of the child and the selfless giving of love of the mother.

The basic principle of being happy is the foundation and the solid ground for all principles to be laid around and layered above it. Self-discipline is when one remains rooted to this basic principle. The self-disciplined noble soul conducts his life from this very base principle and climbs slowly to the principles that remain structured around it. Little by little he stretches and reaches the treasures of goodness and Godliness that streams from his spiritual heart. Such a man in the world is called as “a man of exemplary character.” He inspires all who forget the basic principle of their center that is “to always be happy.” 

There is no human being who comes without the connection to his spiritual center. Even the one who appears “lost” is trying to connect his mind back to his spiritual center. He too abhors the complexity of his mind and wishes to return to the basic principle of simply being happy. The one who conducts himself aware of this principle always finds wisdom to deal with his life moment to moment. 

God has given to each one of us the insight to use the pure and unconditional love that He has placed in our spiritual hearts. When one gets attached to this truth of being happy he is able to use his intellect and through it express this love in his thought, word, and action. When one is content in this basic principle of being happy one is able to witness this entire universe in the light of this Divine love. Seeing the universe as God itself gives one a complete peace. It fills one with a wave of fulfillment. It carries one to the state of spiritual expansiveness. 

The pure unconditional love is a bond between the soul (atma) and the spiritual center (heart). This bond in each one is inexhaustible and indestructible.

However the trouble lies when one sees oneself always distant from his inner happiness. When one finds the need to attain and acquire happiness one loses temporarily the vision of this bond between pure love and being happy. One begins to desire happiness and wishes to give the least love necessary in order to receive peace. That itself is the pressure under which one loses his Self only to acquire his short-term ambition. Such a life ultimately leads to frustration. One is frustrated not because he has nothing but because he feels empty within his own Self.

One has to go back to fill this emptiness by going back to the basic principle of always being happy. Our beloved Lord Bhagwan Shri Sathya Sai Baba always reminded us to return to this basic principle… “Be happy… Be happy always… Be happy no matter what… Be happy for the sake of love… Be happy to be your Self…” 

Heaven lies in the heart of the good, the peaceful, the good-charactered, and in the one who is ever strong to be joyful…… See the heaven that is in your spiritual core… Bring to this world its Divine treasures… Be happy… Being simple is being happy by simply being the Self… The Self that you are and always will be!
