Aum Sairam
1 Sri Sai is Love - If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of Sri Sai… Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of Sri Sai.
2 Sri Sai is True Knowledge - If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you. When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal, and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low… Good and evil cannot bind him who has realized the oneness of nature and his own self with Brahman.
3 Sri Sai is in Your Heart - Because of the screen of illusion that shuts off God from human view, lotus of your heart, you must keep the lamp of remembering Sri Sai ever burning. While engaged in the affairs of the world, you should constantly turn your gaze inwards and see whether the lamp is burning or not.
4 Sri Sai is in All People - Sri Sai is in all men, but all men are not in Sri Sai, that is why we suffer.
5 Sri Sai is Our Father - As a nurse in a wealthy family brings up her master's child, loving it as if it were her own, yet knowing well that she has no claim upon it, so you also think that you are but trustee and guardians of your children whose real father is Sri Sai Himself.
6 Sri Sai is Infinite - Many are the names of Sri Sai and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.
7 Sri Sai is Truth - Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find Sri Sai Who is the soul of truth. One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize Sri Sai.
8 Sri Sai is above all Arguments - If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.
9 Sri Sai is Work - Work, apart from devotion or love of Sri Sai, is helpless and cannot stand alone
10 Sri Sai is the End - To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and Sri Sai is the end.
