Anger

Sacred Purposes

Turn the love that arises in you towards God.  Dedicate your body to the Divine.  This is the true mark of devotion.  There are three constituents in man : mind, the power of speech and the body.  These three are called "Trikaranas" - the three active agencies in man.  It is when all three are used for sacred purposes, man becomes sanctified.

Every human being needs to cultivate the spirit, irrespective of his beliefs.  All need devotion.  It is only spirituality that can purify the heart (and mind) of man.  The second requirement is morality.  Morality helps to purify speech (vaak).  The third is "Dhaarmikam".  All righteous deeds done by the body (or hands) sanctify a man.  It is through spirituality, morality and righteousness that the three instruments get purified.  Only the one who has achieved this triple purity can realize the Divine.  If any of these instruments are impure, he cannot realize the Divine.

You Will See My Full Glory In The Coming Years

You Will See My Full Glory In The Coming Years

I will not give up My Mission, nor My determination.  I know I will carry them out; I treat the honour and dishonour, the fame and blame that may be the consequence with equal equanimity.  Internally, I am unconcerned.  I act but in the outer world; I talk and move about for the sake of the outer world and for announcing My coming to the people; else, I have no concern even with these.

(25.5.1947)


(Extract from : 'God Lives In Prashanti Nilayam')

Eternal Sai - 30

Do not try to find fault with others; Search, rather, for your own. I direct you to implant three ideals in your hearts :

(1) Do not forget God;(2) Do not put faith in the world

you see around you;

it is changing every second

and does not last;(3) Do not be afraid.

(SSS. Vol XI – Chap 40)

GEM 783

The foremost goal the modern youth should set before themselves is to sow the seeds of love, rear the plant of forbearance and distribute the fruit of peace to society through dedicated service.

THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART (Chapter 5)(Para 8)

Be equal minded. Be satisfied with what you have. Be happy! God is in all beings. Be happy with what you have. Make that your renunciation. Do not covet anyone's wealth. Be content with what you have. Do not be desiring anything outside. Do not run after the good things or push away the bad things. The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do. Duty without love is deplorable. Duty with love is desirable but love without duty is divine. These are great truths expounded by the Lord Himself.

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 56

The sun rises everyday.
It never fails in its duty.
It nourishes and sustains all living forms.
We depend upon it's light and warmth.
Without the sun, all life forms would fall and die.
Let Me be the sun in your life.
A sun that rises, but never sets.
I will give you the warmth of My love.
I will spread around you the light of My knowledge.
In your life, there will be only day and no night.
There will be only awakening
And no more ignorance of sleep.
With this energy
You will grow more and more spiritually.
I have come today to be by your side.
To make you recognize God.
To teach you God.
And to realize God !

Sai Darshan 1 (Universal) - Part 1 - 28

Join your hands and pray to Me,
Pray to Me that I am always there.
When life takes its course of its ups and downs,
Pray to Me that I am always there.
When you are lost and there seems no way,
Pray to Me that I am always there.
Listen to your footsteps as you walk.
You will hear a footstep closely behind yours.
For I have followed you
Around this world many a time,
But the time has come that now I walk ahead,
And you follow My lead.
Stop walking in circles My child!
I have now come ahead of you,
To lead you in the strength of My light.

Pearl 18

As long as you worship the Lord with form, you use certain flowers such as roses, marigolds and jasmines, although the body that performs worship and the flowers which you use are all impermanent.  But, if you want to worship the formless God in your heart, then the flowers you use are different.  They are flowers of non-violence, of love and compassion, of charity and sacrifice.  To elevate yourself to the formless principle, you will have to cultivate these flowers of your heart and use them in your worship.  Then, you will experience the ineffable and permanent joy of the spirit.
