Истина собственного опыта

Bear witness to the truth of your own experience, do not be false to yourself or to Me. My name is Sathya Sai, it means He who reclines on truth.  (Sai Darshan 1, Part 2 - Message 27)



Свидетельствуйте об истине своего собственного опыта, 
не будьте лживыми по отношению к себе или ко Мне. 
Меня зовут Сатья Саи, 
что означает:
 Тот, кто возлежит на истине.

Sai Divine Inspirations


Strive to know God. This alone is Sadhana.

If you keep chatting all through the day without doing any work,
Do you think this is Sadhana?
If you fill your belly thrice a day,
Do you think this is Sadhana?
If you spend the day in inactivity and the night in deep sleep,
Do you think this is Sadhana?
Is this for which God has created you?
You while away all your time in this kind of routine,
But this is not Sadhana.
Do not waste your time in this manner.
From this very moment, strive to know God.
This alone is Sadhana.

I belong to you and you belong to Me.

Fill your heart with noble feelings 23 November 1998

This Motherland of ours gave to the world
Noble souls renowned in all the continents.
It is the land that ousted the
Foreign rulers and achieved freedom.
This Bharat is reputed for its scholarship.
 It is the sacred land that stood forth
As the exemplar in the realms of music,
 literature and sacred lore;
Born in the land of Bharat,
noted for its fine arts and natural beauty,
Oh devotees! It is your bounden duty to foster
The glory and prosperity of the Motherland.

[Telugu poem]

 Divinity is more resplendent than the sun,
Purer than the purest snow,
Subtler than the sky and space,

Heroic adventure - Prashaanthi Nilayam, November 1971

36. Heroic adventure

GOD gave this body so that you may use it to sanctify Time, through beneficial acts. Of course, man is ever anxious that he should get contentment and joy, as soon as possible with as little exertion as possible. But, he places more confidence on material comforts and material possessions, hoping that they can yield joy and content. There is no effort by him to ensure being born in good circumstances and surroundings. Goodness is natural to man; it is his nature, when it is untarnished. But, man relishes the tarnish, not the pure core. Falsehood with all its enticements is liked more than truth which wears simple clothes only.

Consider this: Milk and curds are sold in the streets by vendors who shout about the excellence of their ware, but, no one runs to open the door, call them in and purchase the health-giving nectar! Toddy and arrack (home brewed liquors) are sold far from the village bounds; but, yet, people tramp the distance to where they are available, pay the price with no bargaining and consume the poisonous stuff, which robs them of all dignity! This is the tragedy! Good counsel though given with love is seldom listened to. Bad talk attracts people so much that they walk miles to listen to scandal and abuse!

Be and Be Blessed - 11-5-1971 Divine Discourse

22. Be and Be Blessed

ACTIVITY is the keynote of the Universe; by activity, all beings are born, by activity, they maintain themselves, and through that activity they: perish. Constant breathing, inhaling and exhaling, keeps the body temperature even and comfortable. The One that is beyond all activity assumed the forms of the five basic elemental materials---sky, earth, air, fire and water---in order to act and activate. To be active, yet, to be always aware that it is all mere acting, is the secret of happiness. That is the Dharma (virtue) which must regulate and sanctify the karma.

The achievements of technology which have taken man to the moon are also events in the Cosmic Drama, where the principle performers are only working out His Plan; identification with the adventure and its success or failure will make the performers proud or depressed states which would not help inner peace and joy. The secret of good karma is, do karma as an act of Worship, a dedicatory rite offered to the source of all energy and intelligence. And, never take the consequence to heart. By this means, one can approximate to the Divine Principle, which is beyond activity.
