When you want breeze, you start the fan; when you want light, you switch on the lamp; when you want to cook, you light the stove; when you want to address a vast audience, you arrange a mike and loudspeakers and switch them on. If it is printing you require, you operate the printer with a knob. Consider these as separate operations and you will notice that they are unrelated to one another. Light and air, heat and sound, are unconnected; they are distinct in every way, it would seem. But for all these, the Kartha, the energizer, is the same - the electric current. The expressions and manifestations may be different; but the basis, the inspiration, the latent potency, or the base is the same. Like electricity, God too operates through all instruments, and awards the consequences of all the activities done by everyone; He is the inner motivator of all beings.

- Geetha Vahini, Chap 15.

Do all acts as offerings to God; do not classify some as ‘my work’
and some as ‘His’ work. - Baba

When you try to cook a meal, you may have with you all the materials you need – rice, dal (lentils), salt, lime, spices, vegetables, etc. But unless you have fire to cook these, the dish cannot be prepared. So too, all forms of worship, contemplation, yoga or meditation are ineffective if the knowledge of one's basic Reality and Identity is not there to warm up the process. The Atma is the source and spring of all joy and peace; this has to be cognised and dwelt upon. Without this realisation, human life is an opportunity that is lost. Awareness of one’s true identity is the sign of wisdom, the lighting of the lamp which scatters darkness.

- Divine Discourse, Mar 16, 1966.

Every life is a journey across time, from "I" to "We" to "He". - Baba

Life is raised on four pillars – Righteousness, Wealth, Desire and Liberation (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha). When two key pillars, Righteousness and Liberation, are lost, it is a struggle to survive with the remaining two - Desire and Wealth. Then, naturally grief, greed, pretence and anxiety afflict human beings. Each pillar must cooperate and complement the other three pillars. Righteousness must interpenetrate and strengthen Wealth and Desire, so that Liberation can be attained. Through Righteousness alone, wealth for living must be obtained and it should be used for Righteous purposes. Desire must be directed to Liberation from bondage – not to forging of new chains or adding further links in the chain of birth and death. Devoid of Righteousness and Desire for Liberation, human beings will be reduced to the level of bea sts and birds.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 10, 1965.

If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in character. If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. -Baba

The body is subject to destruction, sooner or later. Everyone is aware of this. Yet everyone is apprehensive of death; no one is eager to face the last moment. All that is born has to die someday - death is inevitable and unavoidable! To unlock the key to this paradoxical experience, ask thus: What is it that meets with death? What is it that leaves and what is it that remains? The answer: it is the body that dies and falls. What does not perish is the Atma. You delude yourselves into thinking that it is the Atma or "you" that dies; that is incorrect. The Atma (Self) has nothing to do with death or birth. It is eternal, true and pure. Realize and remember that you are the eternal, true and pure Atma - you are not the body.

- Geetha Vahini, Chap 14.

Develop unmistakable faith in yourself, your capacity to live well and long, to be of service to your parents and the country. That is Atma-vishwasa (confidence in the self). -Baba

When fire rages and gets destructive, you immediately try to put it out by throwing sand and water, is it not? In most buildings, people keep a stock of these in readiness. Are you aware that you have six flames burning inside you? They are lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and hatred. They can emerge any time. What do you have in store to put them out? Always keep a ready stock of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-Violence in plenty. These five will help you scotch the flames of your six enemies, whenever they are lit; these values are very effective extinguishers.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 6, 1965.

Desire destroys devotion, anger kills wisdom and greed nullifies good work – hence these bad qualities must be sacrificed. -Baba

The recognition of one’s innate Divinity, and the regulation of one’s daily life in accordance with that Truth are the guiding stars for those who are caught in the currents of strife and struggle. Without that Self-Knowledge life becomes a farce, a mockery! Acquiring this awareness of the Self makes life earnest, sweet and fruitful. Many people are not aware of this noble goal in the pilgrimage of life. They put their faith in things outside themselves and plan to derive joy from and through them, and end up experiencing pain and disaster. Know that all joys spring only from the heart within you. When you experience joy from worldly objects or people, realize that it is your own joy being reflected back to you.

- Divine Discourse, March 16, 1966.

God is the source of the highest joy. People yearn for joy, but they accept the counterfeit joy given by the senses as genuine. -Baba

Each person eats to satisfy one’s hunger. So too, each one of you must discover the best way to appease your spiritual hunger as well. Do not be led away by the scorn or recommendations of others. Consult your own reality that you create by quietening your senses and controlling your mind; there is a voice that you can hear in that silence. The true sign of your having listened to that voice is your behaviour! A large tree is held and fed by its small roots that dive into the silent earth. So too, if you go deep into the silence of your inner consciousness, your spiritual blossoming is assured.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 6, 1965.

Silence is the speech of a spiritual seeker. -Baba

What is the attitude with which we must do service and why? Bhagawan makes it crystal clear to us today.

Service, in all its forms, wherever undertaken, is essentially spiritual discipline; a form of mental clean-up. If one does not consider service thus, the urge to serve is bound to ebb and grow dry, or it may meander into pride and pomp. Just think for a moment - are you serving God or is God serving you? When you offer milk to a hungry child, or a blanket to a shivering brother on the pavement, you are but placing a gift of God, into the hands of another gift of God! You are reposing the gift of God in a repository of the Divine Principle! Always remember - God serves! And He allows you to claim that you have served! Without His will, not even a single blade of grass can quiver in the breeze. Fill every moment with gratitude to the Giver and the Recipient of all gifts!

- Divine Discourse, Feb 20, 1966.

Offer service and receive love. This is the recipe for experiencing Divinity. -Baba
