Sai Inspires - 21st October 2007

People are of three types. First, Bhakthi rasa-aathmakam (emotional type). The second, Kriyaaathmakam (active type). The third, the rational type. The emotional type of persons are engagedin activities like worship of idols, bhajans, etc. They offer worship to an idol or picture in the faith that God in a certain form has shown to mankind the means to liberation. However, you may worship a picture as God, but not God as a picture. You may see God in a picture, but the picture is not God. No object exists with a form without the immanence of the Divine in it. Hence every object has to be elevated to the level of the Divine. Treat every object as a manifestation of the Divine. But do not reduce the Divine to the level of material objects. - Divine Discourse, December 18, 1994.

Prayer must come from the depths of feeling; the Lord looks for bhava (sincerity of feeling), not bahya (outward pomp). - Baba
