The four goals laid down by Sai, are those laid down by Vedas. They are Satya, Dharma, Shanti and Prema. Mankind must understand the importance of these four goals, accept them, adore them, and practise them in daily life. Only then can Divinity latent in man shine forth in all its glory. Truth (Satya) is the first ideal. It is realised by sadhana of the tongue. The second, Dharma (righteous living), is realised by the sadhana of the body and its components in relation to society which surrounds man and the objective world which affects him and is affected by him. By his right action and right conduct, man can attain the third goal, Shanti – unaffected poise or peace. This can be won by the discipline of the mind. Satya establishes itself on the tongue through satwik sadhana; Dharma is achieved by the exercise of rajasik (active) regulation; Shanti or peace is the consequence of tamasik withdrawal and even inactivity. But, Prema (love), the fourth goal, is beyond these three modes and beyond thought, word and deed! Divine Love is not easily comprehensible. Prema is God. God is Prema. To consider it as a method of speech, an attitude of mind or as physical behaviour is to sorely demean it. Prema has no trace of selfishness; it is not bound by motives. – Divine Discourse, Mar 08, 1981
