Poorva janmaala karmalu ponduparachi, Brahma meekichchina varamu mala, Karmamulanniyu cherchina kantha mala!!! One is not born with garlands around one’s neck! There is no trace of chains of precious pearls!! There is no wreath of pure gold around! There are no garlands of precious stones to adorn! There is no garland of the best variety of flowers! Yes, there is one garland around one’s neck at birth, The garland of the consequences of actions from past births!! The garland put by the Lord himself!! It is the grand garland of the results of actions from past lives!! What chain is one adorning at birth? It is the garland of the sins accumulated from past births. Every action has a consequence. There cannot be an action without reaction.    Listen To Full Discourse Limitless Desires are the reason for Man’s agony Bangalore, Brindavan (Ugadi )   Your browser does not support the audio element. 2003-04-02 Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description In the daily newspaper, you find many news items that speak volumes about the anger, hatred, and jealousy in man. These evil tendencies are the bitter enemies of man. People are worried about the harmful effects of certain planets. In fact, desire and anger are the two planets that cause the greatest harm to mankind. Yes, desires are essential for man. But excessive desires wreak danger. Na sreyo niyamam vina (without discipline, there can be no well being).

This is the natural birth, a state without any rules. The initiation into the chanting of the Gayatri mantra signifies the dawn of man’s second birth. ‘Gayatri chandasa mata’ meaning Gayatri mantra is the very embodiment of the quintessence of the vedas. It is verily the mother of vedas. ‘Ga’ means ‘jiva’ or the forms of the individual. Hence Gayatri is that which protects and fosters all life forms. So, one must realise the truth that, being initialised into the Gayatri mantra is like being born again. When one chants the mantra, bound to a certain code of conduct and rules, then one qualifies oneself for the study of vedas. One attains the third life as a ‘viprudu’, when one chants the vedas. When this is considered as the third birth, one must follow the path of gradual study of vedas, knowing the significance of the mantras therein and lead one’s life in accordance with the said principles. By studying the vedas one would succeed in attaining ‘Brahma’. It is only when one acquires the state of ‘Brahma’ that one can be called a ‘Brahmana’. It is important that one is a Brahmana not only by virtue of his birth but also by virtue one’s actions. One should also realise and continue to realise the truth that being called a Brahmana by virtue of birth and actions is truly the path to the divinity.   The power of Gayathri Mantra Bangalore, Brindavan (Ugadi )   Your browser does not support the audio element. 1983-03-17   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description The most significant karma in a man’s life lies in his natural birth from the mother’s womb.

Life is an illusion. Bondage is Maya, family life is illusion, death is illusion, then why fall in illusion for a life filled with falsehood and illusion?    Listen To Full Discourse Pursue the Guru Within Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (Gurupoornima ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-30   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description The true meaning of Guru is “one who dispels the darkness of ignorance”. Another meaning of the word is “one who is beyond attributes and forms, namely, the Supreme Self (The Brahman)”. When this Self is within you where is the need to search for someone to teach you? A teacher who teaches others has had a teacher himself. The one who has no Guru above him is the true guru.   Pursue the Guru Within Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (Gurupoornima ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-07-30   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description The true meaning of Guru is “one who dispels the darkness of ignorance”.

To serve only human beings cannot be called complete service. To be able to serve even other living beings will also be called service. Eshwara is present in all living things. You must first recognize this truth that Eshwara is present in every living thing. It is only when such faith is firmly implanted in your mind that Eshwara is present in every living thing that your service will become fruitful and that you will attain salvation with your service. But if you do not have such faith, any service that you may render is not going to be fruitful.   Service is Life Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (Gurupoornima ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1975-11-16 Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description The members of the Sathya Sai Sevadal should promulgate and propagate the ideals of Sathya Sai Seva and thus they should broaden their own mind.

All that you experience by way of seeing, hearing and the like are reflections of the inner being. The significance of this experience has to be properly understood. For instance, today is Shiva rathri day. You experience the night every day. These are ordinary nights. They are nights of darkness. But Shiva rathri is an auspicious night. How is it auspicious? There are sixteen aspects for the mind. The moon is the presiding deity for the mind. Of the sixteen phases of the moon, today in the fourteenth day of Maargasheersha month, fifteen of the phases are absent. On this day it is possible to get full control of one’s mental faculties. Hence it is considered an auspicious day. Auspiciousness consists in diverting the mind towards God. This calls for getting rid of the inherited animal tendencies in man. This is the occasion to recognize the omnipresence of the Divine in all beings and in all objects.   Spiritual Significance of Shivaratri Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (Shiva Rathri ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-02-17   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Man is endowed with infinite potencies.

The effect and the impact of the western education is such that we are increasingly enamored by our attire and language. It appears to be a mistake to speak in one’s own mother tongue.

In between these two ends, the garland consists of many flowers. Your dreams, thoughts, ideas, sorrows, joys and pleasures are the various flowers that make up this garland. We have to consider and come to a conclusion whether we shall regard life itself as the garland or whether we shall regard the connections of our body with life as the garland. When we look at the two ends of this garland, it will be quite clear that these ends, the birth and the death, are relevant only to the body and not to the Jiva inside the body.

Poem – Desire

Bhagwan Shri Sathya Sai Poem – Desire 1.) Adagakuve o manasa Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (1996 Special Discourses ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1987-11-21 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description “Oh mind! Do not ask. Do not ask. As you go on asking it keeps getting delayed. If you don’t ask it will be done faster Didn’t Sri Rama fulfill the desire of Sabari ( an old aged devotee) without being asked Even without being asked did Rama not go to Jatayu and liberate him from this life! Did Sabari ask? Did Jatayu desire? If our heart calls Him with pure Love He Himself comes running to us. We need not explicitly ask. This is the proof for God’s Love. This is the value of God’s Love   Listen To Full Discourse Selfless love and firm faith Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (1996 Special Discourses ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-06-20   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Embodiment’s of Love! The hall-mark of love is Thyaga (selfless sacrifice). Love seeks nothing from anyone. It bears no ill-will towards anyone. It is utterly selfless and pure. Failing to understand the true nature of love, man yearns for it in various ways. Love has to be cherished with feelings of selflessness and sacrifice. In what is deemed as love in the world– whether it be maternal love, brotherly love, or friendship—there is an element of selfishness. Only God’s love is totally free from the taint of selfishness. Divine love reaches out even to the remotest being. It brings together those who are separate. It raises man from animality to divinity. It transforms gradually all forms of worldly love to Divine love. To experience this Divine love, men must be prepared to give up selfishness and self-interest. They must develop purity and steadfastness. With firm faith in the Divine, they must foster the love of God regardless of all obstacles and ordeals.   Selfless love and firm faith Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (1996 Special Discourses ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1996-06-20   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Embodiment’s of Love!

One must give up one’s selfishness, offer everything at the feet of the lord and enter the society with the will to serve the society and be happy at its prosperity. There is an important aspect that the members assembled here must take notice. One need not take up the service activities that are beyond one’s capacities but do the activity to one’s best potential. For serving, one has to have the body and the mind to do so. The sacred will to do the service and an able body with sound capacities to implement the will – these are the essential requirements to do service. Wealth, money etc are not the requirements to do seva. When one gives importance to wealth and money in such activities, it depletes one’s energy, one’s willingness to do the service and gives rise to discrepancies amongst the members.   Guidelines to the members of Sathya Sai Seva Organisations Puttaparthi, Poornachandra Auditorium (Sevadal Conference ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1987-11-21   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description All the members of this organisation should become “thyagarajus”- men with spirit of sacrifice and “yogarajus”- men with control over their desires and not become “bhogarajus”- men immersed in worldly pleasures and luxuries.

One is confidence in one’s own self and the other is cleansing one’s own mind. Man cannot live by himself in isolation. The entire world depends upon the social structure and on the manner in which individuals are knit together into a society. It has been the good luck of our country to have had a society which is well knit on the basis of sacred principles. The quality of forbearance of our society is not to be seen elsewhere. It is blood that flows through the arteries of Indian youth. It is not water. You have to make a determined effort to revive our sacred culture and demonstrate to the rest of the world the vitality that is contained therein. The youth of India should be prepared to sacrifice even their lives for the sake of truth. This country has been such that it had always traversed along the path of truth, had lit the lamp of truth and shed the light of truth. Today, Indians have apparently been subdued by the situations that prevail in the country, by the times in which they are living and by the environment through which they are passing. They have forgotten the greatness of their own culture and are being ridiculed by others. The sacred tenets of our scriptures such as: respect your mother as God, respect your father as God, respect your teacher as God and respect your guest as God, no longer convey any meaningful messages to us in the social makeup of today.   1973-05-24 Good company leads to Divine life Puttaparthi, Poornachandra Auditorium (Sevadal Conference ) Your browser does not support the audio element. 1987-11-21   Document Download this Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description There are two things which are important for man’s life.
