Education must result in the development of wisdom (Viveka) and humility (Vinaya). The educated person must be able to distinguish between the momentary and the momentous, the lasting and the effervescent. As an educated person, you must not run after glitter and glamour but must seek the good and golden. Keep the body in good trim, the senses under strict control, the mind well within check, the intellect sharp and clear, unhampered by prejudices and hatreds, and the feelings untouched by egoism. You must know the Divine Self, Atma too, for that is the very core. That is the effulgence which illumines your inner and outer selves. You must also cultivate Vinaya (humility). As an educated person, you must be grateful to your parents, who with great sacrifice have given you all the facilities that you now enjoy.

- Divine Discourse, Jul 25, 1958.

Education should promote discrimination and humility. - Baba

The Lord cares for your concentration (Ekagratha) and purity of mind (Chittashuddhi). You need not worry if you are near or far from Him. He has no ‘near’ or ‘far’. When the address you write is correct and clear, your letter will be delivered whether it is to the next street or a distant city. Remembering the Lord (Smarana) is the stamp. Recapitulating His Glory in your heart (Manana) is the Address. Select any Name that appeals to you for Smarana and Manana. Be careful not to talk ill of other Names and Forms. Conduct yourself like the woman in a joint family. She respects all elders in the family (father in law or brother in law), but her heart is dedicated to her husband, whom she loves and reveres in a special manner. Never carp at others’ faith, it reveals that your devotion is fake. If you are sincere, you will appreciate the sincerity of others.

- Divine Discourse, Aug 15, 1964.

When we practice Right Conduct (Dharma), the Divinity within us will manifest itself spontaneously - Baba

If you want to attain God, cultivate love. If you promote love and look upon all with love, hatred will never be your lot. That is the one important lesson I teach always. I do not ask that you should become a scholar or a recluse or an ascetic skilled in recitation of holy Names and Meditation (Japa and Dhyana). God only examines, “Is your heart full of love?” Firmly believe that Love is God, Truth is God. Love is Truth, Truth is Love. For it is only when you love that you have no fear. Fear is the mother of falsehood. If you have no fear, you will adhere to truth. The mirror of love reflects the Divine Self within you and reveals to you that the Divine Self within you is Universal and is immanent in every being.

- Divine Discourse, Jul 25, 1958.

There is no nobler quality in the world than love. It is wisdom. It is righteousness.
It is wealth. It is Truth. - Baba

You do not wail that the pot you are holding is a mud pot, if you know that what is contained in it is nectar, is it not? Having a mud pot with nectar is far better than having a gold pot with poison! There is no value to the land of riches or a mansion if the quality of life is deplorable. Even if the standard of life is poor, it does not matter if the way of life is pure, full of love, humility, fear of sin and reverence towards elders. It is easy to restore this way of life provided the Vedas are studied and fostered and its teachings practised in earnestness. The Mother of Vedas (Vedamatha) will foster in you love and kindness. The teachings for right conduct laid down in the Vedas are the best armour to guard you against sorrow and difficulties.

- Divine Discourse, Aug 15, 1964.

Never feel depressed when you are weighed down by difficulties. God will never impose on you the ordeals which you cannot bear. - Baba

The others are part of yourself. You need not worry about them. Worry about yourself that is enough. When you become all right, they too will be all right, for you will no longer be aware of them as separate from you. Criticising others, finding fault with them, etc. - all this comes out of egoism. Search for your own faults instead. The faults you see in others are but reflection of your own personality traits. Pay no heed to little worries; attach your mind to the Lord. Then, you will be led onto the company of good people and your talents will be transmuted. Consider everyone as the children of the Lord, as your own brothers and sisters, develop the quality of love and seek always the welfare of humanity. Be like the bee, drinking the nectar of every flower, not like the mosquito drinking blood and distributing disease in return. If you continue to love, you will be loved in return.

- Divine Discourse, Jul 25, 1958.

The Lord loves those whose hearts are filled with purest Divine love.- Baba

The three qualities (gunas) of the mind have to be transcended sequentially. Lethargy (Thamas) should be transformed into passionate activity (Rajas) and Rajas into serenity and poise (Sathwa) and finally into atributelessness. The Gunas bind the person and leave impressions. Thamas is like the worms that creep and crawl in offal. Rajas is like the fly that sits on foul and also good things. Sathwa is like the bee that visits only fragrant flowers. But all the three are drawn towards objects nonetheless. One should be free from all traces of attachment. When your heart is infested with flies and worms, the pesticide of Namasmarana (constant remembrance of the Name of the Lord) has to be used for disinfecting.

- Divine Discourse, Aug 15, 1964.

When the mind and the intellect unite, humanness reaches a state of freedom, which is referred to as liberation (Moksha). - Baba

What is a simple litmus test to understand if we are progressing on the spiritual path? Bhagawan gives us a practical tip today.		Audio Special: "Special Program - Buddha Poornima - Part 2" Click Here to Listen Now		H2H Special: "Feature Article: Becoming Buddha" Click Here to Read Now
Watch the Live Video Webcast of the Buddha Poornima Celebrations in Prasanthi Nilayam, Day 2 at 5:15 p.m. (IST), Today on our Website, www.radiosai.org

The first step in Self-Enquiry (Athma Vichara) is the practice of the truth that whatever gives you pain, gives pain to others and whatever gives you joy, gives joy to others. So do unto others as you would like them do unto you; desist from any act in relation to others, which, if done by them will cause you pain. Thus, a kind of reciprocal relationship will grow between you and others and gradually you reach the stage when your heart thrills with joy when others are joyful and shudders in pain when others are sad. This is not the kind of affection towards those who are dear to you or those who are your kith and kin. This sharing of joy and grief is automatic, immediate, and universal. It is a sign of great spiritual advance, the wave knows that it is part of the ocean; all the waves are but temporary manifestations of the sea and with the same taste of the ocean itself.

- Divine Discourse, Jul 25, 1958.

Every action that is done should be preceded by an enquiry as to whether it will lead to good or bad results. - Baba
