At times, you may feel dissatisfied with the answers you wrote, even though you have spent a lot of time reading. Why? Because when you are preparing for examinations, mere reading is not sufficient. You may read at home and feel confident of writing well in the exam hall, but that doesn’t work. You must necessarily practice at home what you do in the examination hall. That is why you should often practice writing the answers. Many things which you do not understand clearly while reading, becomes easier to comprehend when you write. The more you write and practice at home, the better you will do in the examination hall. I will also share another secret for your success: In the examination hall, before receiving the question paper, you should first pray. Receive the question paper after your prayer. Then slowly read the question paper and start answering the easy questions first and the difficult ones towards the end. - ‘My Dear Students’, Vol 3, Ch 1, 'Success in Examinations'.
You must welcome tests because it gives you confidence and ensures promotion. - Baba

06 Mar, 2014   Featured on Radio Sai:   Share   What is the sweetest thing in the world? Bhagawan answers and explains to us today.   Audio Special: "Tryst with Divinity - Conversation with Mr. Gowra Sugunakar from Bangalore" Click Here to Listen Now   H2H Special: "The ‘Value’d Ivestment - Leading a Values-driven Foundation" Click Here to Read Now   Today's Thursday Live (06 Mar 2014) - Programme Schedule
	In a story, Birbal tells Akbar, “Sweet talk is the sweetest thing in the world; nothing else, not milk, honey or jaggery comes close to it. A sweet word is the most valuable thing; through it one we can win a person over, give great joy and even attain a higher status. When crows caw at us, we throw stones at them. Whereas, when cuckoos sing, we respect them. Neither is the cuckoo going to give us a crown, nor will the crow punish us. When one’s speech is good, one earns a good name. Hence, a sweet word is indeed the sweetest thing in the world.” You must always talk to others in a manner which would give them contentment and joy. This is the essence of all scriptures. It is not enough to listen to, learn or chant Vedas, scriptures and Puranas (ancient spiritual texts), you must give joy and satisfaction to others. - ‘My Dear Students’, Vol 3, Ch 3, Mar 19, 1998.
Love for all should spontaneously flow from your heart, and sweeten all your words. - Baba

05 Mar, 2014   Featured on Radio Sai:   Share   What is the purpose of prayer or meditation? How long should we persist in it? Bhagawan explains to us today.   Audio Special: "Outside Inside Deep Inside - Satsang on Lord Shiva" Click Here to Listen Now   H2H Special: "Sacrifice - Musings by Prof. G. Venkataraman" Click Here to Read Now   Join Radio Sai on
	Prayer is for the mind, just as food is for the body. Wholesome food gives health and strength to the body. Prayer purifies your mind and strengthens your spirit. If bhajans are done in an ostentatious manner, ego gets bloated. Young people must proceed from tamas, the darkness of ignorance, to tapas, spiritual austerities. Be steadfast in pursuing whatever you choose. There is no point in doing meditation for two days and giving up on the third day. If you start practicing meditation, it must become an integral part of your life. You cannot assume you are meditating by merely closing your eyes. You must progress until you feel united with the God present within your heart. Along with meditation, you must acquire the knowledge and skills to lead your professional life. You must always maintain the same discipline and strength of character , wherever you are. - ‘My Dear Students’, Vol 2, Ch 5, Mar 11, 1984.
Through prayer and contemplation on God, you should try to control the evil qualities in you. - Baba

04 Mar, 2014   Featured on Radio Sai:   Share   We often believe or claim that we do many things to please God. Is it real? Bhagawan poses this interesting question and lovingly explains to us today.   Audio Special: "Love to Love - a musical selection and conversation with Mr. Kaustubh Pare - aired live on 20 Jun 2013" Click Here to Listen Now   H2H Special: "The Avatar on Himself" Click Here to Read Now   Join Radio Sai on
	We often say, “I am performing all actions in this world for the sake of God”. Is it real? Are you doing all the tasks to please God, or is it for your own self? Contemplate on this. Every devotee (Sadhaka) does many different activities, for their own sake and not for the sake of God. Listening, singing the glory of the Lord, chanting His name, serving the divine feet, salutation, worship, servitude, friendship and Self-surrender – all these nine forms of devotion, are for your own good, and not for God’s benefit. Consider this example. You are eating an apple. Is it for the benefit of the apple, that you are eating it? No, it is for your own health! Similarly your actions, worship or meditation is only for your own happiness and satisfaction. The only thing God cares for is purity and steadfastness. Purity in thought, word and a ctions is all that matters to God. - Divine Discourse, Vol 2, Ch 5, Apr 10, 2000.
Purity alone attracts Divinity. If the iron filings are rusted, even the most powerful magnet cannot attract them. - Baba

03 Mar, 2014   Featured on Radio Sai:   Share     What is meditation? What are the different stages in meditation? Why should we persist in our efforts? Bhagawan lovingly explains and motivates us today.   Audio Special: "Service in the name of Sai - Conversation with Mr. Suresh Bhatnagar - Seva in Afghanistan - 1" Click Here to Listen Now   H2H Special: "Photo Gallery: Shivaratri Celebrations at Prasanthi Nilayam - 2014" Click Here to View Now   Join Radio Sai on
Meditation is not merging the form in your mind. It is merging your mind with the Form, so that the mind doesn’t exist. There are three stages in this process – The Ooha (imagining the Form), Bhava(experiencing the Divine) and finally Sakshatkara (Realization). In the initial stages, the devotee imagines one’s favourite Divine Form, as they have seen before. Over time, the image vanishes in the mind and they begin experiencing the Form. This process takes longer and slowly, the devotee starts experiencing the Lord from the toe to the head. The impressions last longer and grow deeper and gradually, the image of the Lord that is firmly implanted becomes an inner reality. While the imagining stage gives only momentary joy, the experiencing stage results in complete identification of the seeker with the Lord. T hus, over time, awareness of the Divine results in oneness with the Divine (Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavathi). - Divine Discourse, Vol 2, Ch 5, Mar 11, 1984.
Meditation is nothing else but rising above desires. - Baba

02 Mar, 2014   Featured on Radio Sai:   Share   Why is it not acceptable to have negative or evil thoughts? Bhagawan lovingly explains the ‘ripple effect’ to us today.   Audio Special: "Fleeting Moments, Lasting Memories - Reflections of former Sai students - Mr. Yeshab Giri - Part 3" Click Here to Listen Now   H2H Special: "Roadmaps to Eternal Bliss: The Message of the Vedas and the Upanishads" Click Here to Read Now   Click Here to Download and Listen to the Various Segments of Radio Sai's Latest Thursday Live (27 February 2014) Watch the Live Video Webcast of the Gratitude Programme by Students of the Anantapur Campus, SSSIHL at 5 p.m. (IST), Today on our Website.
	If you throw a pebble in a pond, a small ripple originates and spreads until the end of the river. You may or may not be able to see, but the ripple starts right at the point where the stone meets the water. Similarly, in the lake of your mind, when you throw a stone of thought, ripples of thought waves start spreading throughout your body. The same ripple reflects in your eyes, brain, ears, heart and also in your hands and legs. Hence you must be very careful with the kind of thoughts that you permit to pervade your personality. When you get pure thoughts, all your senses will be purified by it. However, if you get bad thoughts, your senses will be perverted and this will quickly spread to your eyes, heart, hand and brain. Always have pure thoughts. If you do so, your body, senses and actions will be purified. - Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Apr 10, 2000.
Bury bad thoughts under good ones. The bad ones will automatically fade away and be forgotten. - Baba
