The Avatar Is Full And All Comprehensive

The Avatar Is Full And All Comprehensive

The Avatar appears as any other human being, equipped with body, senses, mind, etc.  But, consider the vast difference in thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc.  The Avatar is the total, the all-comprehensive, the poorna (Full).  The human is partial, narrow, negative.  But, in the human, the Divine exists as the core and can manifest as Bliss.

24.  Om Sri Sai Avathaara Moorthaye Namah

We have to remember that Baba says that the same God-head that appeared as Sai Baba at Shirdi has now appeared as Himself.  He is not merely the reincarnation of Sai Baba at Shirdi but He is the same Divine source and Power that incarnated as Rama, Krishna and others.  Very often when relating stories of Rama, Krishna and other Divine Manifestations in other lands and climate, Baba can be heard saying, "Only those who have experienced this can relate it"; "This is not found in any book, but it is true".  "I alone know it", etc.  And the stories are authentic and have the stamp of truth.

He is the Moorthy (personality) of all Incarnation.  That is why He is able to grant His devotees the vision of Himself as Rama or Krishna.  He has only to confer on the blessed devotee the eye to become aware.  "Look at Me", He says, and they see Rama or Krishna or Srinivasa or Padmanabha or Panduranga or Ganesa.  "The eye moulded out of matter or the intelligence moulded in the crucible of Maya cannot perceive Me", He says.

At the World Conference of Sathya Sai Organizations in Bombay, He announced, "I do not direct you to worship this name and this form, for I am all forms of God-head, incarnated in this human form".

THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART (Chapter 5)(Para 17)

As you attempt this, no words can ever express the joy of this union, of the tangible presence of the Lord that only you will be aware of. It is beyond words to explain. One must experience it to realize and understand its true worth. It is a priceless gift which no jewel on earth, no amount of gold, wealth or jewels can ever compare with. And as each new dawn dawns, you will awaken with a smile on your lips, a song in your heart, for no matter what the day may hold materially, you will always share precious moments from which you can revel in a heavenly angelic time with Him and lose yourself in the bliss of His presence. It will be found that His presence will create harmony and peace. His presence is indicative of His love. The never-ending love and compassion that He has for us - else, why should He respond to us? Why should He answer us when we so little deserve it? To achieve this, to generate and create this love in the heart, there is a formula, it is called hands work, heart in which God resides, and mind holds conversation with God. That is how life should be. Instead, our hearts are full of bad qualities, our minds are full of the past, present and future and man's hands are full of the result and effect of both. When the mind is so occupied, how can there be a heart link with the divine? Hence, empty the mind, cleanse it and create the link with the heart, just like a telephone line. The distance between you and God is the distance between you and yourself. You are God and you are the self, both entwined in one body. The only way to become closer to God, the only way to gain the magic key is to ignore the phenomenal world. Do not become entrapped in its whims and fancies, its ups and downs. Do not allow yourself to be tossed hither and thither. Stay firmly rooted in your love for Him. Be firmly rooted in His presence. Then, you will have the constant vision of the Lord in your heart with you, beside you, around you, above you, below and behind you; an aura, a presence as tangible as physical energy, a veritable current of love.

Immortality means the removal of immorality.

Woken Up

I Am God

Man who should progress upwards from day to day, is going down the slope.  This is not right learning.  Every day you should make the ascent towards the Divine.  "I am God.  God is not different from me."  This is the conviction with which men should live.

(Sanathana Sarathi, April 1996, pg 94)

The One

Your Actions

Happiness

WHOLE

"I am whole, well, and free through the loving presence of God in me."

The constant healing energy of God moves in and through me. I am whole in mind, body, and spirit.

My mind is alert and responsive. I am focused on what I need to do in every situation, for my thoughts are clear and positive.

My body is healthy and filled with vitality. I can accomplish whatever tasks lie ahead of me during the day. I eat the right foods and do what I need to do to keep my body healthy.

I dedicate my whole self to God. My faith assures me that both my spiritual and physical needs are met and that I am constantly being cared for by my loving Creator.

My mind, body, and spirit unite to radiate love and appreciation to God. I am filled with joy and assurance!

"May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound."

- 1 Thessalonians 5:23
