Press Release by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust: Special Advisory to Devotees

The body is said to be the tabernacle of God. In fact the world itself is the body of God. A pinprick on the toe is immediately recognised as an injury to the self, because the toe is part of the self-same body. So too, suffering in one corner of the world is as much the concern of the Lord, as suffering in any other. The whole world is a mansion of the Lord. All countries and states are mere rooms in His mansion. Never forget that the whole world is a temple of the Lord; it is His body and He resides in it!

- Divine Discourse, Jun 25, 1960.

True education develops in you love for your fellow-beings and motivates you to
serve the community. - Baba

Spiritual Practice (Sadhana) must be done in a disciplined and systematic manner, in an atmosphere filled with virtues. Just as fans in a large hall cool the atmosphere and provide soothing breeze to the people gathered there, so too, the fans of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace and Love (Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, and Prema) are necessary to reduce the sweltering heat of ignorance, falsehood, injustice and indiscipline (Ajnaana, Asathya, Anyaaya and Akrama). In a world where noble conduct is being insulted and denied at every turn, peace and tolerance are the only means through which you can save yourself. This is the most important aspect that I ask you to cultivate. In every act, have tolerance and patience with a mutual helping attitude. In the family, cultivate patience and mutual respect; in the community, have righteousness and justice.

Divine love will enable one’s every thought, word and look to be filled with love. - Baba

Often you are aware that there is something behind and beyond all the fleeting fantasy; something that persists through all the successes and defeats, the tears and smiles, the mirth and moan - but you are unable to grasp it and realize that it is the same Entity that underlies the entire Universe. You are indeed one with the most distant star and the least little blade of grass – you shine as dew on the petal of the rose, you are part and parcel of all this manifestation! The scriptures teach you this truth through many a parable, and even directly through the experience of saints and mystics. Through meditation and practice of spiritual discipline, you can be aware of yourselves as all this. Hanuman may have the form of a monkey, but do not get carried away by the outer casement (Upadhi). The Lord was His very breath; every hair-end of Hanuman echoed with Lord Rama’s Name.

- Divine Discourse, 25 Nov 1964.

A true devotee is ever conscious that the universe is a manifestation of the Lord and is fully permeated by Him. - Baba

There are four questions that every person must interest oneself with : “Who am I?”, ”Where have I come from?”, “Where am I going?” and “How long will I remain here?”. These questions have been answered clearly in the Vedas. All spiritual inquiry begins with these questions and attempts to find answers to them. If you drop a letter in the post box without writing the ‘From’ or ‘To’ address, it will go nowhere but to the ‘dead letter office’. In fact it is a waste of time writing that letter, is it not? So too, if you do not know the purpose of your life in this world, you will get caught in the cycle of birth and death, and will never reach your destination. To find answers to these key questions, you must begin enquiry about the Self. To get the answers, you must practice spiritual discipline. Then, you will find that the answers become part of your daily living experiences!

- Divine Discourse, June 25, 1960.

Realization of God is the goal and destiny of human life. - Baba

A bullock cart cannot move on rails nor a locomotive on the road. Each type of vehicle has its own type of road. But all move forward and reach the goal in their own good time. Same is the case, whatever be your functional role (Varna) in the society. Each Varna has its own set of rules, regulations and restrictions. Be it the Varnas or Ashramas (the various stages of life with their fixed duties), they are merely convenient arrangement for the conduct of worldly affairs and paths to attain supra-worldly joy. Whether head or heels, it is the same blood that circulates through each; it is the same body which claims them as limbs. Each limb has to perform its task, the task for which it has specialised. You cannot walk on your head or think with the feet. Whichever section of society you may belong to, the Lord is revealed when the heart is pure.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 25, 1964.

The day you recognize your own faults, you will begin to understand the
ways of the Divine. - Baba

A person driving a car may concentrate on the road, anxious to save oneself and others from accident. Fear is what induces single-mindedness in this case. But Love is a greater force to aid concentration. Steady and resolute love makes one’s concentration become intense and unshakeable. Faith develops into love and love results in concentration. Prayer is possible and begins to yield fruit, under such conditions. Pray, using the Name as a symbol of the Lord; pray keeping all the waves of the mind stilled. Pray, as the performance of a duty for your very real existence, as the only justification for your coming into the world, as man.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1961.

Faith is like our life-breath. It is impossible to live even for a minute in this
world without faith. - Baba

Watch the Live Video Webcast of the Veena Recital by Ms. Saraswati Rajagopalan
at 5 p.m. (IST) Today on our Website.

Just like a fish which can live only when it is immersed in water, when it feels the element all around it, so too man is a being that can live only when immersed in ananda (bliss); one must have ananda not merely at home, in society and in the world but more than all, in the heart. As a matter of fact, the ananda in the heart produces ananda all around; the heart is the spring of joy. That spring has to be touched by constant meditation, recitation and the intermittent dwelling on the glory, the grace and the inexhaustible manifestations of the Lord, that is, smarana, chethana and manana. Hold fast to the goal; the devotee should never turn back. Never give way to doubt or despair.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 23, 1961.

Divine love will enable one’s every thought, word and look to be filled with love. - Baba
