Usually when you are asked where God is, you point to the sky or some distant place of worship and say He is there, as if He is just a person and has a definite place of Residence. Every single individual in the planet is essentially Divine. It is delusion that has induced one who is Naraayana swarupa (embodiment of God) to imagine and behave as if he is just a nara (human). To remove that delusion, there are various means suited to the needs of each sufferer. But all the treatment and all the struggle is to achieve the experience of being Naraayana, and discard the limited, bound, and relative entity, nara. That is the one harvest yielded by all the various processes. Until one understands oneself, the delusion and the resultant grief cannot be ended. Make use of this precious opportunity, invest time to understand yourself.

- Divine Discourse, Jan 22, 1960.

Every human being is a spark of the Divine. - Baba

Today's Thursday Live (14 Nov 2013) - Programme Schedule

Nothing is ever born without the will of God, nothing ever happens without His will. This is the message of the Vedas. Understand the scriptures well and this lesson will be instilled in you. Fleas suck and taste only the blood of the cow, but we draw from her, sweet nourishing milk. So too, you must draw and learn from the scriptures, the potency of the will of the Lord. If fixed in that faith, you will be able to brave all dangers. In Ramayana, not all the stones that Lord Rama stepped on, turned into a human being. Only one stone changed into the form of Ahalya, for repentance and penance had elevated that stone to win the Grace of the Lord. If God is invisible to you, the fault lies within you. You are unable to recognize His various manifestations. You yourself are His very own manifestation. Fix your vision!

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1964.

When animal feelings are washed out, divine feelings begin to flow. - Baba

Spiritual knowledge cleanses the mind and helps us undertake good actions. But that is not enough. The heart also should be pure. In the absence of purity of heart, there can never be purity of the mind and intellect. We should not give scope to the creepers of bad qualities to entangle the heart. A creeper that goes around covering the tree ultimately smothers the tree itself. One should ensure that the creepers of lust, anger, greed, and infatuation do not get entangled to one’s own Self. The society will ultimately value purity of heart more than all other achievements. One can escape from the house on fire, but not from the senses which are ignited by the fire of evil qualities. It is the foremost duty of every individual to keep their senses under control.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 19, 1998.

Do not get puffed up when you succeed. Do not get punctured when you fail. - Baba

Do not demean your talents; when you dive deep into yourself, you can discover the source of all strength. Small ants in millions creeping over a rock, can carve a deep groove along their path. Even the minute feet of the ants have that power. You might have seen on the walls around village wells, how hollow pits are produced on granite slabs by placing on them mud water pots continuously. Even though the pots are made of mud, over the years they erase even the hardest granite and make them hollow. The Atma Swarupam (Embodiment of Divine Self) is not Alpa Swarupam (insignificant). It is a powerful dynamo, capable of generating enormous power. The Spiritual teacher (Guru) shows you the goal (Guri), but you must generate the power yourself, by your own spiritual effort (Sadhana).

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1964.

The primary goal of a human being is to realize their inherent divinity and redeem their life by that realization. - Baba

"My Birthday Offering to Swami" - 88th Birthday Special

Have the progress of your country, your duty (Dharma) and your innate Divinity (Atma) before your mind’s eye at all times. Let your hunger for serving these three, grow more and more. Then your education will serve its purpose and give you a sense of mission and fulfillment. You will naturally acquire respect for elders, faith in your own Self, fear of sin, and fear of going against the voice of God present within you. Never cross this line – Do not do anything which brings tears in the eyes of your parents. Honour them and obey them. Do not condemn them as old-fashioned. Remember the adage, “Old is Gold”. Your parents can guide you; they can share with you their experience of the world and its tricks, and you will benefit from them.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1959.

The beauty of life depends upon our good habits. - Baba

Watch the Live Video Webcast of the Conclusion of the Global Akhanda Bhajan at Prasanthi Nilayam at around 5 p.m. (IST), Today on our Website. You can listen to the Live audio of the Bhajans from 7 - 10 a.m. and 4 - 6 p.m. Asia Stream and Telugu Stream

Singing the glory of the Lord is highly sacred. When you sing the Names of the Lord (Namasmarana), the snakes of bad qualities will come out. Namasmarana is like the piped musical instrument (Nadhaswaram), that attracts the snakes of evil qualities and draws them out and away from you. You must repeat the Lord’s Name in order to get rid of your negativities. Sing unto Him from the depth of your hearts, without any inhibition, with total dedication. Only then you can experience divine bliss. Today the Universe is facing a lot of problems due to lack of this habit. Young or old, rich or poor, educated or otherwise, everyone must do Namasmarana. Make this habit the very breath of your life. Let each and every cell of your body be filled with the Divine Name. Nothing else can give you the bliss, courage and strength you derive from singing the Lord’s Glory.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 14, 2002.

To experience the proximity of the Divine, Namasmarana (continuous repetition of the Lord’s Name) is the easiest path. - Baba

Once a miser lived in a leaky house. Rain water poured through the roof, into his house and he sat through it all night. Neighbours, seeing his plight, suggested he get the roof repaired. The miser remarked, “Let the rains subside, how can I repair it now?” And when the rains stopped, he replied, “Why should I worry about the leaks, now that the rains have stopped?” Do not take this approach. Instead of choosing to suffer when the rains come, as they are sure to do, wouldn’t it be wise to repair the roof right now? This example conveys the importance you must give to acquainting yourself with spiritual primers and textbooks without postponing this by even a moment. Begin right now, the first lessons of silence, prayer and repeating the Name of the Lord. It is never too soon to start the spiritual journey.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1959.

Remembering constantly the name of the Lord is the easiest path to experience the proximity of the Divine. - Baba
