Sri Sathya Sai International Organization

If only you observe the disciplines and purify the Consciousness, you can see the God installed in your heart. There is sugar in the cup, but the water is insipid, for you have not stirred it well. There is God in the world, and by stirring the Divine well into every drop or atom thereof, you can make the world a sweet thing to live by. Intelligence is the spoon, spiritual practice (Sadhana) is the process of stirring.

The moment you go to your places, do not think that Swami is there (Prasanthi Nilayam), while I am here. Always develop the feeling “He is with me, in me, around me, above me and below me.” All are one.

There is a Creator for this marvellous and beautiful cosmos, consisting of moving and unmoving objects. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. He has been worshipped as God by many names and in many forms by various people.

Realize that the love that is present in everyone is common to all. It is love that has brought you all together. It is the cord of love that has bound all of you. It is the unifier, the motivator and the bringer of joy to all. Therefore, develop love.

God has no preferences and prejudices. His is but reaction, reflection and resound! He comes, to confer Divine Bliss, to foster Divine Bliss, to teach ways of acquiring and activating Divine Bliss. He takes upon Himself the pain and sorrow of the world, in order to prepare the Hearts of men for Love!

Love is the foremost quality of a human being. And faith is the basis for that love. The spelling of the word love is LOVE. Here ‘L’ stands for ‘Lord’. Thus, Love is born out of the Lord (God). The entire creation is a manifestation of God’s love, be it a tiny ant or a mighty elephant. Everything is the creation of God.

Embodiments of Divine Love! Strike down the walls that separate man from man. Get rid of differences based on caste and creed. Develop firm faith in the oneness of humanity. Cultivate love in your hearts. Only then will the nation be united, prosperous and happy.

When there is no love there is hatred. Faith in God promotes love. Love leads to peace. Peace prepares the way for truth. Living in truth, man experiences bliss, which is Divine.

Wherever you may be, in whatever country, do not give room for religious differences. Do not give up religion. Get rid of differences based on religion. Adhere to your faith and your traditions. When differences between religions are given up, love will develop in you. When love grows, you can have a direct vision of God.

Those who are in the Sai Organisations will be achieving their real purpose only when they rise above good and evil, look with equal regard upon all those around them and see divinity in them.

Give away Love to all, give up the ego, display heroism in service. With compassion to fellowmen, feel your intimate kinship with them. Visualize the Atma that illumines all and derive unending bliss therefrom.

The Universe is the manifestation of God. In every human being exists Divinity, subtle and invisible. Association with good people and spiritual discipline are essential for discovering the Divinity that is latent in the individual.

Plant the seeds of Love in your hearts, let them grow into trees of service and shower the sweet fruits of bliss. Share the bliss with all. That is the proper way to celebrate the Birthday.

If a man today is under the sway of sorrow and misery, his mind is responsible for it. Happiness and sorrow, affections and aversions, and the sensual pleasures that man experiences today arise out of his mind. Since the mind is filled with the sense of duality you suffer all these. When the mind is trained to see the oneness of all creation, there will not be perversions of any kind.
