Swami explains to us today. Did you try the article "Entralling Encounters with Eternity - Conversations with Raja Reddy, Part - 2"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 13th November 2007

Devotion should be the unified expression of love for God, action in the service of God and total surrender to the will of God. These are intertwined like the braid of a woman's tresses. Bhakthi (devotion), Upaasana (worship) and Jnaana (awareness of the Self) together demonstrate the Oneness of the Divine. This truth is common to all religions. - Divine Discourse, December 18, 1994.

The basic quality of devotion is the yearning for realising oneness with the Divine. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 12th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. How can we tap the source of joy that is within us? Swami explains to us today. Did you try this issue's "Conversations With Sai"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 12th November 2007

Man has in him all the Bliss, as well as all the equipment needed to unravel it; but, he is caught in dire ignorance of his own inner resources. He can have supreme peace but, he does not strive to earn it; his attempts are weakened by doubt and indecision, and so, they are doomed to failure. Of course, there is the flow of water underneath the ground. But, how can we benefit by it unless efforts are made to dig down into that source? A good deal of 'desire-for-sense-satisfaction' has to be removed before that inner spring of peace and joy can be tapped. - Divine Discourse, February 21, 1974

He who is filled with desires is the poorest man in the world. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 11th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. Why should we do bhajans? Swami explains to us today. Did you try this issue's Bhajan Tutor? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 11th November 2007

You do bhajans and think that you are doing it in order to please God. But God does not need anything. You do bhajans for your own happiness. Share your happiness with others. God is the embodiment of bliss. Hence, He does not require anything from you. When He is the embodiment of eternal happiness, what else is required for Him? He is not interested in worldly and ephemeral happiness. When you do bhajans, your heart becomes purified. The worship and the bhajans that you sing are meant for your own happiness and not for the happiness of God. - Divine Discourse, March 16, 2003

The basic quality of devotion is the yearning for realising oneness with the Divine. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 10th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. Is there a relationship between our individual spiritual endeavour and society's development? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the article "Sai Medical Camps in Malawi - Magnificient and Moving"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 10th November 2007

There are questions raised: Of what relation is society and social ties with spirit and its glory? Of what relation is the spirit with society's tangles and trickeries? Such questions arise from erring minds. Spiritual endeavour must aim at individual illumination, social betterment and the divinization of the human community. This is extremely urgent and essential. While in society, the divinity inherent in man can blossom more quickly, more widely, more fragrantly. You recognize the world, but, not God who is immanent in it! So too, you see the individual but, not the corpus that is immanent in society. - Divine Discourse, October 1971 .

Your life will be redeemed only when you involve yourself in the service of the society. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 9th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam and greetings on the occasion of Deepavali - the festival of lights. How to lighten and brighten our lives? Swami tells us today. Did you read the article "Creating a Land of Love..."? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 9th November 2007

The flame of a lamp has two significant qualities. One is to banish darkness; the other is a continuous upward movement. Even if a lamp is kept in a pit, the flame is directed upwards. The ancients have taught that the upward movement of the flame denotes the path to wisdom and the path to divinity. However, the external light can dispel only the external darkness, but not the darkness of ignorance in man...The Vedas declare, "Anthar Bahischa Tat Sarvam Vyapya Narayana Stithaha", God is present within and around. So one has to be pure both internally and externally. It is the water that helps to keep your body clean. But it is love that keeps your heart clean. You should celebrate the festivals in full realization of their inner significance. - Divine Discourse, October 19, 1998.

Only the light of service can illumine the spiritual aspirant. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 8th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. Why do we get into this cycle of joy and sorrow? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the article "In His Comforting Care..."? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 8th November 2007

How can man realize the Truth? Only when he experiences the Adhvaithabhaava (non-dualism). As long as he is steeped in dualism (that he and the Divine are different), he is bound to be racked by the opposites: joy and sorrow, the real and the unreal. All that exists in the Cosmos belongs to God. But man imagines that he is the owner of various things and is a prisoner of the conception of "mine" and "thine." In reality, all are only trustees of the property belonging to the Divine. This means that everyone has to consider himself as a trustee for the world's goods. A bank cashier handles an enormous amount of money. None of it belongs to him. He cannot use it for himself, but has to ensure its safety and right use. Likewise, all are trustees responsible for the proper use of the goods entrusted to them. No one can claim ownership. Hence one's life should reflect the unity of thought, speech and action. - Divine Discourse, December 18, 1994.

Your life will be redeemed only when you involve yourself in the service of the society. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 7th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. How should we use our faculty of reasoning so as to reap maximum benefit? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the article "Spellbinding Sai - I"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 7th November 2007

Like a drop of oil on water, every individual spreads; he reaches out and far. 'I' seeks other 'I's and seeks to become 'We'. Life is a march from 'I' to 'We'. But, it usually strays from 'I' to 'They'. And does not reach God, the 'We'. Intellect alone can direct man in the path of discrimination, between the true path and false, the proper step and the improper... The reasoning power of man is shaped, not only by the education he receives now, but more by the impact of past lives and the import of future events. If the power is used for self-aggrandizement, it feeds delusion; if it is used in service for others, it promotes the Revelation of Reality. Reason must examine the vagaries of the mind and make patent the Divinity that resides and shines in every individual. - Divine Discourse, November 23, 1972.

The grace of God cannot be won through the gymnastics of reason, the contortions of yoga, or the denials of asceticism. Love alone can win it – Love that requires no requital. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 6th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. What is it that we must do to make the world a heaven of peace and prosperity? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the article "Honouring Him The Right Way"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 6th November 2007

If you want to transform the world, promote all-round prosperity in the country and make the prayer "all people should be happy" become a reality, develop faith in the Self. Never forget God. Without God there is no Universe. Let the non-believers have their way. But they have no right to question the beliefs of others. To ask for physical proofs of the existence of experience like bliss or love or for subtle things like the fragrance of a flower is impracticable. To deny the reality of love on the ground that it has no recognizable form is meaningless. Love may have no form. But the mother who exhibits love has a form. - Divine Discourse, September 17, 1995.

Fortitude endows man with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates an immense internal power. - Baba

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. What are the ornaments that can truly beautify us and confer peace? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the article "The Divine Alchemy"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 5th November 2007

"Truth is the ornament for the neck." "Charity is the ornament for the hand." "Listening to sacred scriptures is the ornament for the ears." What other ornaments does a man need if he had these three? So says a Sanskrit saying. The ornaments which people wear today are a source of fear. But if the ornaments of truth, charity, and listening to sacred discourses are worn, there is no cause for fear. This is called Abhaya (fearlessness). - Divine Discourse, July 9, 1995.

Love is the key to open the doors locked by egoism and greed. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 4th November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. What is the inner significance behind chanting "Shanthi" three times at the end of every prayer session? Swami explains to us today. Did you read the Cover Story "Liberating Love...'Prema Jyothi' Lights up Chennai Metro"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 4th November 2007

The word Shanthi is pronounced three times at the end of every prayer, ritual or offering. What is the meaning behind this? The first Shanthi means: "May we enjoy peace for the body." It means that the body should not get heated by feelings of jealousy, hatred, attachments and the like. Whatever news you receive about any event, you should receive it with calmness and serenity...The second Shanthi pertains to the mind. You should not get worked up when someone says something about you which is not true....and the third Shanthi refers to peace of the soul. This peace has to be realized through love. This world has to be brought back on to the rails and it is love and peace alone which can achieve this. Fill your thoughts, actions, emotions with love, truth and peace. There may be people who may hate us but love them too. - Divine Discourse, December 9, 1985.

A slave of the mind cannot achive happiness or peace. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 3rd November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. What should be the guiding force in our life? Swami tells us today. Did you read the Cover Story "Liberating Love...'Prema Jyothi' Lights up Chennai Metro"? Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 3rd November 2007

. Whatever you do, deem it as God's work. This can be applied to every ordinary act in daily life, whether it is sweeping the floor or cutting vegetables. Every one of these acts can be turned into a spiritual exercise by the spirit in which you do it. To perform every act as an offering to the Divine is true devotion. The world today is suffering from disorder and violence because people have lost Aathma-Vishvaasa (faith in the Self). They are fostering attachment to the body and ignoring the Spirit. Man should not follow the senses which are wayward, the body which is perishable, or the mind which is fickle. He must follow the conscience, which tells him what is right or wrong. - Divine Discourse, September 17, 1995.

The conscience is the form of the Divine within everyone. - Baba

Sai Inspires - 2nd November 2007 from Prashanti Nilayam

Dear Reader,  Loving Sairam from Heart2Heart Team. What is the hallmark of a true spiritual aspirant? Swami tells us today. The November Issue of Heart2Heart is Up! Click here to read now.

Sai Inspires - 2nd November 2007

. You must be like the sandalwood tree which transmits its fragrance even to the axe that is used to cut it. When an incense-stick is lighted, it is burning itself away, but it radiates its perfume all around. In the same manner, a true devotee, should see to it that he keeps his peace intact under all circumstances. He should radiate happiness all around. This is the primary sadhana (spiritual practice). Through Sadhana, try to get that peace. Peace cannot be obtained in the world outside. Our kith and kin, our material possessions or name or fame will not give us peace. Peace is something which swells from within you. It is not something which is gathered from outside. We desire peace, but we keep doing things, which, far from giving peace, cause anxiety and worry. Trifles are allowed to upset one's peace of mind. The true spiritual aspirant should remain unaffected by what others say about him. - Divine Discourse, December 9, 1985.

All that you do with purity of heart will find fulfilment. - Baba
