Sai Inspires - 1st July 2010

Man creates and develops in himself an abounding variety of selfish habits and attitudes that leads to great discontent for himself. A person might feel elated that he has become the master of all arts, or owner of all wealth, or possessor of all knowledge; but from whom did he acquire all these? That source must indeed be greater. He might even claim that he earned all this through his own efforts. But surely someone gives it to him, in some form or other. This he cannot gainsay. The source from which all power originates is God. Ignoring the omnipotent Lord and deluding oneself thinking that the little power one has acquired is one's own is indeed egoism. - Prema Vahini, Chapter 10.

There is only one God, He is Omnipresent. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 30th June 2010 from Prasanthi Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. What should be our focus if we avoid sorrow and misery? Swami guides us today. Did you read the article, "The Revivified Ravinder"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 30th June 2010

Everything in this world is ephemeral, transitory; it is here today, but it may not be here tomorrow. So, if you desire for something, seek the Lord, who has no decline. Instead, if you crave for progeny, wealth and all comforts, you will suffer untold misery when you are called upon to leave everything and depart. At that moment, you would lament, “Oh, did I love so deep that I may weep so loud?” In this transitory life, joy and pain are also perforce transitory. There is nothing here fit to be worshipped as eternal. So, to get immersed in this search for the evanescent and to forget the Supreme and the Everlasting is indeed unbecoming of man. - Dharma Vahini, Page 18.

Hands in the Society, Head in the Forest. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 29th June 2010 from Prasanthi Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. What can give us real peace? Swami enlightens us today. Did you read the article, "He Steals Hearts as His Heart Heals"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 29th June 2010

Even the most comfortable house equipped with all the luxuries man craves for; even heaps of treasures are helpless to endow one with Shanti (Peace). Shanti can be won only by surrender to God, who is the very core of one's being, the very source of all life and living. Consider this: Are those lucky enough to possess wealth, gold, property and comfort having Shanti? No! Are persons of high scholarship or extraordinary beauty or super-human physical strength at peace with themselves and the world? What is the reason for the misery of even these people? The reason is: they have forgotten the Divine basis of Creation; they have ignored the one Absolute Underlying Principle. All lives lived without faith and devotion to the One Supreme Overlord are despicable; lives spent without tasting the Nectar of the Divine Principle are all wasted chances. - Dharma Vahini, Chap 12.

You say "I want peace" - remove 'i', the ego and 'want', the desire, and you will be left with peace. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 28th June 2010 from Prasanthi Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. What are aphorisms?  Why is it important in our daily lives? The Divine Master kindly explains to us today. Did you read the article, "He is My Swami, Part-3"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 28th June 2010

The word ‘Sutra’ means that which, through a few words, reveals vast meanings. The Sutras discuss contrary points of view in order to remove all possible doubts about the validity and meaning of the sacred texts. The word ‘Mimamsa’, as used in ancient Indian philosophy, means the conclusion arrived at after inquiry and investigation, the inference adopted as correct after deep consideration of possible doubts and alternatives. The Vedas deal with two concepts: Dharma (Righteous actions) and Brahma (God). The Purva Mimamsa deals with Dharma or performing the rites and rituals in daily life in a righteous manner.  The Uttara Mimamsa deals with Brahma (God) and its emphasis is on Jnana (experiential wisdom). - Sutra Vahini, Chap 1, "Thereafter, the inquiry into Brahman" .

Make the world a happy home of love. - Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. What is a litmus test to understand if we are pursuing real happiness? Swami lovingly explains to us today. Did you try the Multi-faith Quiz on the Merits of Sacrifice? Click here to try now.

Sai Inspires - 27th June 2010

If the intellect is dull and derives happiness from sleep and slothfulness, points out other’s faults, it characterises Thamasic nature. This nature will make one ignore the knowledge of Self throughout one’s life. True education is that which directs and counsels the mind and intellect of man towards earning Sathwic happiness. The scriptures declare Na Sukath Labhyathe Suhkam (Happiness cannot be derived from happiness), that by undergoing unhappiness alone can happiness be won. This truth has to be instilled through Vidya (Self-knowledge or education). If you understand the joy of Sathwic happiness, true Vidya will be found to be easy and palatable. -Vidya Vahini, Chap 11.

Start the day with Love, Fill the day with Love, End the day with Love.  This is the way to God. - Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. Why is sometimes the judgement of God different from ours? Swami elucidates today so that we may be non-critical of others. Did you read the article, "Musings on Awareness, Part-05"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 26th June 2010

The fruits of the karma or activity appeal only to those who identify themselves with the body. They do not appeal to those, who know they are the indestructible Self or Atma, which is the inner motive force in everything. God is above and beyond the limits of Time and Space.  He is beyond all characteristics and qualities, no list of such can describe Him fully. Hence, God always appreciates the  consciousness of Unity, as the basic motive of all acts. - Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 1, "The Bhagavatha"

Love is the solvent for the hardest of the hearts.  Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. Why should we prioritize renunciation as the primary goal? Swami elucidates clearly to us today. Have you read the article, "Gift of Life to the Gift of God"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 25th June 2010

Acquisition of positions of authority and power, of skill and intelligence which can manipulate people and things, of fame and supremacy, of personal charm, of good health and happiness or of a large family with many children or wealth… none of these can confer liberation. You cannot attain liberation by undertaking sacrifices, vows, charities, pilgrimages or donations to holy projects. Though the objective world appears real, you must be aware that it is deluding you.  You must give up yearning for deriving pleasure from the objects that appear and attract - both here and hereafter. Renunciation alone can lead to immortality. You will be liberated as soon as you renounce your attachment and desire. -Sutra Vahini,  Aphorism 1, "Renunciation alone confers immortality".

Love All, Serve All.  Help Ever, Hurt Never. - Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. What is the tipping point to transform ourselves? Swami points out the slippery slope to us today. Did you read the article, "From Lifeless Existence to a Living Inspiration"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 24th June 2010

On account of the impact of the external objects on the senses of perception, one experiences pleasure and mistakes it to be nectar. But over time, the pleasure initially mistaken as nectar turns into bitter and unpleasant poison. This type of happiness is Rajasic happiness. If one welcomes Rajasic sensory pleasure, one’s strength, awareness, intelligence to achieve the four human goals of Dharma (Right Action), Artha (Wealth), Kaama (Righteous Desire) & Moksha (Liberation) are weakened; one’s interest and aspiration to attain divine bliss declines. -Vidya Vahini, Chap 11 .

Selfless service brings you nearer to Me. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 23rd June 2010

You must know that there is no end to the incarnations that God takes. He has come down on countless occasions. Sometimes He comes with a part of His glory, sometimes for a particular task, sometimes to transform an entire era of time, an entire continent of space, sometimes with a fuller equipment of splendour. The drama enacted by the Lord and the devotees drawn towards Him is the subject matter of Bhagavatha (stories on the Glory of God).  Listening to these stories promotes the realization of God. Many sages have testified to its efficacy and extolled the Glory of God, and they helped to preserve it for posterity. - Bhagavatha Vahini, Ch 1, "The Bhagavatha".

True Happiness is Union with God. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 22nd June 2010

The awareness of Brahman (God) cannot be won by the accumulation of wealth or even by giving away of riches. Nor can it be achieved by reading texts, rising to power, acquiring degrees and diplomas, or performing scriptural sacrifices and rituals. The body is an anthill, with the mind inside the cavity. The mind has hidden in it, the serpent named ajnana (ignorance). This serpent cannot be killed by resorting to kamya karma (pleasurable activities). Jnana (spiritual wisdom) is the only weapon that can kill the serpent of ignorance.  That person alone who has faith can secure this spiritual wisdom.   - Sutra Vahini, Chap 1, "Thereafter the inquiry into Brahman".

I am with you, in you, behind you, above you, guarding and protecting you as the eyelid protects the eye.  - Baba

Sai Inspires - 21st June 2010

Even the boundless ocean can be drunk by one with ease. Huge mountains can be plucked from the face of the earth easily. The flames of a huge conflagration can be swallowed without any difficulty. But controlling the mind is far more difficult than all these. Therefore, if one succeeds in overwhelming the mind, one achieves the awareness of the soul. This success can result only when one undergoes many ordeals and denials. The bliss that is the result of this effort is the highest kind of happiness. - Vidhya Vahini, Chap 11.

Love All, Serve All.  Help Ever, Hurt Never. - Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from the Heart2Heart team. Why is it important to practice Unity in all beings at all times?  Swami lovingly explains the fundamentals. Have you read the article, "What Good Does the Bhagavad Gita Do" ? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 20th June 2010

God is above and beyond all the limits of time and space. For Him, all beings are equal. The difference between man, beast, bird, worm, insect and even God is but a difference of the 'vessel' (the upadhi). It is like the electric current that flows through various devices and expresses itself in many different functions. There is no distinction in the current; it is the same. So too, the one single God activates every creature and gives rise to manifold consequences. The ignorant feel that all devices are distinct. The wise see only the one uniform current. God appreciates the consciousness of unity as the basic motive of all acts.  - Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 1.

Unity, Purity and Divinity..This is the path to God. - Baba
