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.

Let there Be Music

The Sathya Sai Universal Symphony Orchestra



India has recognized the salutary effect of music on the mind; its potency to restore calm and equanimity, to still the waves of agitation and worry. Music is the instrument by which passions are sublimated, emotions are tamed, impulses are directed to higher purposes. 
—Sathya Sai Baba
Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. V, Chapter 46

18. Sathya Sai Seva


THE Vedhas are inspired by the holy spirit of Divine Mercy; they seek to transmit to humanity the secrets of a happy life here and of Liberation for ever. They reveal the essence of the Divine Glory. They are the source of spiritual knowledge over the millennia for all mankind. The Vedhas and the Intellect, which man is endowed with as a gift from God to separate good from evil, are the means by which the culture of this land is to be preserved and promoted. When the Vedhic treasure house is explored with intelligence, the Aathma-thathwa (essential nature of the Self) becomes clear and when that is recognised, man becomes eternally happy and full of peace. This treasure was slighted and neglected as a result of the fascination for outlandish ways of life, but, since some years, the feeling of reverence and the readiness to repent have appeared among the people.
This Conference is itself a sign of revival. You are allotted the task of bringing once again to the homes of the people the message of Aathmic strength and Aathmic unity. Transmuting 'man' into 'God' and experiencing that Aanandha (Bliss) is the one and only achievement for which life is to be devoted. The efforts you make in your own places are directed to bring this goal into the awareness of each person. Of course, there are in existence many organisations and societies engaged in distributing various cures for the 'spiritual' 'ills of their constituents, and therefore, a question may arise about the need for this additional institution. The need has arisen to emphasise the basic and essential discipline, which is practical and universal, as prescribed since ages for the revelation of the Divine in man.

Сатья Саи Баба дискурс

PEOPLE may say that the Vedhas are only a collection of sounds, of series of letters, but they are much more. Vedha is Wisdom; Wisdom is God. The culture of Bhaarath built on the Vedha elaborates this Truth and enjoins its practice. This Truth has now to be lived in daily life so that the dire problems affecting the individual and society can be solved.
Many practices and patterns of behaviour have been added to this Culture in the course of history. It is necessary to discard these and purify the outlook. This is one of the main tasks of this Organisation. Economic development and five-year plans may raise the standard of living, but unless, along with these, the fundamental Wisdom enshrined in the Vedha is assimilated by the people, such progress will end in disaster. Morality, a virtuous character, is the very foundation of progress, the very basic need. It grows in the realm of the Spirit. But, today, the Spirit is neglected. Physical and animal needs are catered for, they are accepted as the ends of living; all efforts are directed to these.

In the Kritha yuga, Dharma (righteousness) was accepted and sought after as the very base of life. In the Thretha Yuga, the next Age, God who was installed in the heart was accepted and sought. In the Dwaapara Yuga, developing contacts and attachment with kinsmen and friends was considered enough to keep one safe and happy. In the Kali Yuga, the modem age, food and sustenance are taken as the very essentials of Life.

WITHOUT PAIN NO HAPPINESS / Без страдания нет счастья

Sathya Sai Baba / Сатья Саи Баба
The pleasure and pain go together. There is no man without these twins - pain and pleasure.
Pain and pleasure are intermixed.
It is impossible for anybody to separate them.
The fructification of the difficulty which gives you the pleasure.
This message of truth must be taught to the entire world.
Without difficulties you will not know the value of happiness.
When there's no darkness you will not know the value of light.
So basing on these two, the pleasure and pain, Jesus went on explaining what is the foundation, what is the basis,
what is the primordial principle that would ultimately help mankind.
So we have to bear with our problems.
Difficulties will give us happiness.
The one who does not know the pain, will never know the value of pleasure.
WE SHOULD RESIST THE PROBLEMS.
And we should achieve happiness and share.
----------------------
Удовольствие и боль существуют вместе. Отделить их невозможно.
Без проблем и трудностей - у нас не будет счастья.
Без тьмы мы не узнаем свет.
МЫ ДОЛЖНЫ СОПРОТИВЛЯТЬСЯ ПРОБЛЕМЕ И ДОСТИЧЬ СЧАСТЬЯ
И далее делиться с другими.

AMAZING EXPERIMENT

Программа Микрософта определяет возможный возраст по предоставленой фотографии. Свами здесь 84, молодому человеку 28.

Engineers at #Microsoft, using their advanced Face Detection abilities and some computing came up with this page where you can upload a photo and it will generate the possible age of the people in the picture (along with an image of the gender). You can select random pictures to check the age and gender....

The first picture I tried it was the one closest to my heart - with Swami aboard the aircraft bound to#Puttaparthi from Hadshi. My actual age in the picture is 28 while Swami's actual age is 84. But see the results yourself... No wonder God is ever-young!!!!

Я никуда не ухожу


«Я никуда не ухожу» — эти губокие по своей сути слова, произнесенные так неожиданно и вне какого-либо контекста Божественным в человеческом одеянии, оставили автора книг Диану Баскин на некоторое время в полном недоумении, пока до нее не дошел их великий смысл после того, как Бхагаван ушел с физического плана. Ниже рассказ Дианы Баскин о грандиозном откровении, опубликованный в журнале «Санатана Саратхи» в ноябре 2011 года

Guru Poornima Discource 13.07.2003

Избавьтесь от телесной привязанности, чтобы развить атмическое сознание


Воплощения Любви!

Вся вселенная была сотворена по Воле Бога. Бог сотворил вселенную и поддерживает её. Вселенная в конечном итоге растворяется в Боге, источнике её происхождения. Вселенная, возникшая по Божественной Воле, называется Вишвам. Точный смысл слова Вишвам – саморасширяющееся и полное блаженства. Бог сотворил вселенную с определённой целью, но человек поступает вопреки этой цели. Вишвам – это не просто манифестация физической материи, а прямая манифестация Бога.

Выступление Бхагавана 24-8-1971

32. Stoop to Serve 


VINAAYAKA Chathurthi is the name of the festival celebrated today, all over the country, from the Himaalayas to the Cape, and also wherever people of this country owning allegiance to its culture live. Vinaayaka or Ganesha or Ganapathi or Vighneshwara---all indicate the elephantGod, who is popular among young and old, and who is worshipped as the very first deity, before regularly beginning any ceremony or samskaar, any yaaga or yajna, any vow or fast or pilgrimage. He is the Lord of the Ganas or Divine Forces, inside and outside the human body; He is the Lord, who masters and overwhelms vighna (obstacle), however imminent or eminent. This is the natural effect of the fact that Ganapathi is the God of Intelligence, Vidhya or Buddhi (learning or intellect).

Yearn to be close ...

Yearn always to be as close to your Divine Core as possible.
You need not desert your family and run away into loneliness. You have only to keep in mind the comparative triviality of the world. Death stalks every living beings disintegration waits on all created things. From a world so transient, so uncertain and unstable, one has to win the goal of eternal peace and eternal bliss. The eternal Atma is associated with the ephemeral body! Discrimination alone can make this plain. Detachment alone can make the road clear.
