Sri Sai Says

Aum Sairam

Divinity neither comes nor goes. God is total love. It is important to remember that you and the world are temporary, but Truth and love are permanent. Love is god, so live in love; Truth is God, so follow truth. Like the two wings of a bird, truth and love can make you fly to noble heights.

Follow the greatest path, the path of love. Take the example of the magnet and the iron: they unite, and the iron becomes one with the magnet. Likewise, the knower of Brahman [the Universal Absolute] becomes Brahman. You are children of immortality, you are eternal. The relationship between you and God is eternal.

The body changes through many births, but the mind and deeds continue from birth to birth. Just as an auditor totals the accounts of the day and carries the balance over onto the next page, our mind follows to the next life. You should be able to control the mind by controlling the senses - then merge in truth and experience oneness with God.

Knower of the Supreme in Vedantic parlance has been defined as "Advaita Darshanam" [recognizing the one without a second]. That is to see the One in the many, unity in diversity. There may be many names and forms, but you have to recognize that the Atma Principle in all of them is one and the same. It is not enough to say this in words. You must make it a living experience. Only then can one experience enduring bliss. Such a person alone can be called a true knower of the Supreme.

People claim to make offerings to God, even without knowing where He is. When the Lord is ever by the side of man, he is searching for God all over the world.

One must purify one's consciousness instead of being led astray by the external. You have to rectify your conduct and actions, because everything depends on your actions.

Adhering to the righteous path, with a pure heart, you have to divinize your life. All spiritual disciplines have been laid down only for this purpose.

All the prayers, repetition of God's name and ritualistic worship that are offered are intended only to purify the heart.
