His Life

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On HIS Life 1. Swami always look for your feelings; Different examples from Mythology Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-31 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description More than the Vedas, it is very essential to understand the teachings of Vedanta. The path of love is much easier than the practice of soft repetition of the Name (japa), meditation, yoga, etc. God is not interested in knowing how many bags of rice and how many saris you distributed to the poor. You may send this list of items to the income tax department. What I am interested in is only your feelings. Even if you perform a small act of charity, I see your feelings behind it. I am not interested in the number of saris and bags of rice that you distribute. Swami values only quality. Rukmini could earn the grace of Krishna by offering only a leaf of tulasi. Kuchela could earn the grace and love of Krishna by offering Him a fistful of beaten rice. What did Draupadi do when she had to feed Sage Durvasa and his one thousand disciples when she had nothing with her? She offered a grain of rice left in the cooking pot to Krishna and prayed to Him, “You are our only refuge.” When Krishna put that grain of rice in His mouth, immediately the hunger of Durvasa and his disciples was satiated. In the times of every Avatar, there are such instances of devotees earning the infinite grace of the Lord by making small offerings with devotion and love. Therefore, get rid of the impurity of your mind. Destroy your ego. Learn to make offerings of love. Only then will you have the good fortune of experiencing Bliss (Ananda). 2.Don’t try to understand Me, experience Me Your browser does not support the audio element. 1987-10-02 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description In-spite of listening to several discourses, despite spending long spells of time in participating spiritual workshops, and even after listening to divine discourses for over 30, 40, or even 50 years, mindset remains the same! With miscellaneous content collated from newspapers, magazines and some books, people are filling their brain space but not attempting at filling their hearts with love. They are merely listening but not putting efforts to taste the bliss in it. You have been living in the ashram premises for several years. If you introspect within yourself, you will realize that there has been no change whatsoever that has taken place in your mindset! What is the reason? If you take a rounded pebble (gundu) and put it in water, you will notice that not a tiny drop of water makes its way into the pebble because it is impervious. Same is the case here. In a hard-stone hearted person, how can sacred love soak into his heart! 4. Divine alone has will power

Forbearance

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Forbearance 1. Foster good thoughts and develop kshama Your browser does not support the audio element. 2000-05-25 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Embodiments of Love! Drive away bad thoughts and make room for good and noble ones. Through sacred thoughts, foster kshama. This will give you multiple capabilities, enabling you to transform your life into an ideal one. Study of books alone will not enhance your capability; they will merely provide you with superficial or bookish knowledge. This obviously is not enough. Real capability and strength come by tapping the Inner Power latent in you. All that is outside is artificial. Real truth and power are both inside, in your heart. It is the heart that must be strengthened, but, unaware of this fact, people become furiously active in the external world, only to get lost there. There are many types of food catering to the needs of the gross body but what about food for the heart? That food can be obtained only when you turn your head toward God. You must understand the subtle linkages here – food, head, and God.

Day to day

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Day to day 1. How and when does the vibration enter the baby’s body: Swami reveals the secret Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-31 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Students can understand the interpretation of subtle aspects. One must never be a lover. A lover How can one say that the body is matter? The doctors too can dwell on the question as to how this body can be considered as matter. Four Lux soaps, nine two-inch nails, two buckets of water, one bucket of lime, phosphorus present in nine hundred matchsticks, lead present in five pencils, Zinc present in eight battery cells- all together constitute the body. The total worth of the matter is not even two rupees. A body worth millions is made with the matter that is worth two rupees. The body can be made with these materials, where from does the vibration come to the body? That is the principle of Brahma. The body, which is made up of matter, gets its vibration in the mother’s womb when it is but four months and nine days old. The vibration, the life force starts the life then. Till then the foetus is like a foot ball. The shape is not oval but the shape of foot ball. The moment the vibration enters, the ball gets the movement. As it starts to move, it acquires oval shape. From where does the vibration come? Is the mother sending it inside? Nobody can send it in. The energy from the matter starts within. Body is the result of the matter and the energy. The body encases the essence of Brahman and Maya and so the combination of Brahma and Maya results in Tarakam. There are subtle secrets in Vedanta. People consider such principle as human. It is not simply human, but it is Brahman. may love one or two. The lover is very low class. One must become love itself! When one becomes love, one can love any number of people. A lover can only love one or two. Hence one must never become a lover but must become love. When man becomes love, he is loved by everyone and then alone can one understand the feeling of the one Atma, of oneness. Love is uniform in everyone. Vedanta teaches this principle of love extensively. If love is not there in each and everything, then it is not possible to acquire it. So what sort of love must one have? It is not the love at the body or mind level. One must love God in every way and in every perspective. When one does so, the unnecessary things will vanish on their own accord. This is called as the doctrine of non-dualism. There is a sugar cane. It has many bends. A sugar cane may have many bends but the juice does not have any bends. One’s thoughts, too, may be haphazard, but one must seek to develop love within. The juice does not have any bends. That is “Raso Vai Saha”- the essence is Brahma; that is the principle of Brahman. That juice is the Divinity. God is in the form of ‘rasa’, the essence. It is not ‘Paadarasa’ the mercury but it is ‘Premarasa’ the juice of love. Mercury is called as ‘Padarasa’ in Telugu. Mercury when put on ground does not flow as one unit but breaks into small balls. But the ‘Premarasa’, the essence of love joins everything.

Gayathri

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Gayathri 1. Meaning of Dheeyoh Yonah Prachodayath Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-06-21 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Shraddha, Rutham, Sathyam, yoga and mighty power are the five components of the sacred intellect. This intellect or buddhi is depicted in the Gayatri mantra as “Dheeyoyonah prachodayath”. Just as the sunlight dispels the darkness of the world, so also the light of the intellect dispels the darkness of ignorance in oneself.

Youth

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Youth 1. I will explain Vedanta extensively to you all Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-31 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Bhagawan has started Vedanta in a simple way today. Every word and mantra in it has got immense meaning. Vedantam is very easy to understand. Bhagawan will explain every word in detail so as to make every one understand it. Ultimately the entire essence of Vedanta would not even be an inch long but within it there are about fifteen thousand mantras. Bhagawan says that He would show it. This explanation can be given only by God himself and not possible by others. 2. What is Amanaskamu in Vedanta Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-31 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description What is meant by ‘Tarakam’? It is ‘Khechari’, ‘Vechari’, ‘Madhyama’ and the true essence ‘Bhagawati’. One must try to analyse the essence of these four aspects. What is the meaning of ‘Tarakam’? Many people have described it in many ways. There are five signs in this. One should know clearly the five signs, ‘Pancha Mudras’. One should know these five signs, research and investigate them properly, experience them, then determine the necessary and the unnecessary and brush aside the unnecessary; have a vision of Nadabindu and realise the ‘hamsatwa’, later on experience the state of sath-chit-ananda on earth—this sums up ‘Tarakam’. Immersing and concentrating the human mind in the principle of sath-chit-ananda, the ultimate bliss is called as ‘Tarakam’.   4. As is your feeling so is your vision

Spirituality

Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Spirituality 1. Truth, brahman doesn’t die at any given point of time: With Analogies Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-31 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Some millions of years ago, the Sun blew up due to excess of Helium gas in it. The Sun blew up into small pieces. The stars are the pieces that blew away from the Sun. Not only the stars but the Milky Way also has its beginnings from the pieces of the sun. Then when can the birth and death be decided? When there is a form then there is birth and death. But there exists an entity that lives even after the form perishes and that is the ‘truth’. A small example to illustrate this: ‘Aavu’- cow, is the name given to a cow. The name cow remains even after the cow dies. Similarly, the word ‘human’ remains even after the human dies. So also when Atma adorns a body it remains even after the death of the body. Mr. Jhumsai also said that one should be in search of truth. But one need not search for truth. How can one search for the truth that is all pervading? If there is a place where truth is not present then one can search for it elsewhere. The word of ‘truth’ spoken might die but the truth remains eternal. Likewise the nature of Brahman is changeless. The principle of Brahman is everlasting. It exists in the form of sound, light, movement, awareness, conscience and consciousness. How can one decide the exact form of Brahman? All forms are present in this truth. Vedanta has been propounding this aspect.   2. Spirituality must begin at a tender age: Analogy Your browser does not support the audio element. 1984-11-21 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Sathya Sai Organisations must not only teach spirituality but efforts must be made to change every activity into a spiritual pursuit. True spirituality is to develop the unity in humanity, unity in divinity. How can one achieve unity in divinity? This unity can be got through the purity of mind. Without a pure heart one cannot achieve unity.   4. Outer appearance and Inner conscience
