*Inner significance of Christian Cross – Sathya Sai Speaks* *Some of the Christians show this sign (gesturing the sign of the cross).* *This indicates these four – the head, heart and the hands. We have to take these three as the basis – the head, heart and the hand. Install God in your heart, think of God by your head, work with your hands, that is the meaning of these indications. So, in the cross, the three – the head, heart and hands (are indicated). Some think it only indicates the cross. That is not the true inner meaning of the cross. The head, the heart and the hands, let all these three grow along the sacred path. Whatever you may undertake, take it as God’s work. Whatever thought may be entertained, let it be divine. Let any work be done, take it as God’s work. This is what is meant when they do like that (making the sign of the cross). Some don’t understand the meaning – they waste their hands, misuse their heads, and pollute their hearts. Heart is the altar of God, and head is the reflection of the divine. It is all reaction, reflection and resound of God in our heart. With these feelings we have to pass on and share this message of God in society.* ~*Divine Discourse, 25 December, 1998*. #sathyasai #saibhakta

A certain person was a captain during the Second World War, but since he died of a commonplace disease in a civil hospital, his widow did not get much by way of pension. So she had to earn some money teaching music, in order to keep her three children – two daughters and a son – in elementary ease. The son passed his B.Sc. examination with a first class from the Madras University, while still in his teens. The army authorities gave him a job in their cantonment office at Bangalore. His mother, who was overwhelmed with joy, sent him to offer homage to the family deity, Venkatachalapthi, in the temple on the Thirumalai Hills in Andhra Pradesh, so that he could join duty at Bangalore with divine blessings. However, what did happen was that the boy got drowned in the holy tank of the temple. His body was in police custody for two days as it was unidentified. The anxious mother was confronted by the photograph of her son’s corpse wh ich appeared in the daily papers. But, Baba appeared to her in a dream and directed her to come to Puttaparthi. There she was taken by a mysterious stranger to the Presence. Bhagavan called her and her children for the precious interview. “Don’t weep,” He said, “for your son who led a disciplined life and was full of devotion, has now merged with God. When he has found the lotus feet of Bliss, you should not indulge in grief.” But she could not be consoled. Then Baba said, “I know your heart is broken since you could not have even a last glimpse of his body. See, it is here.” Saying this, He spread His palm in front of her, and she could clearly see the events of that fateful pilgrimage appear upon it: The son slipped on the steps of the tank, and a few people jumped in to save him. It was too late. Even first-aid could not revive him. A lotus-like bunch of flames rose from his body and proceeded towards the innermost shrine where the idol of Venkatachalapathi is installed, disappearing in a blaze of glory at the Lord’s feet. Then she saw the idol come alive and change into a charming image of Baba Himself. #sathyasai #saibhakta

“When you participate in Nagar Sankirtan in the early hours of the day, your heart will be brimming with bliss.  It is not merely Kirtan (singing), it is Sankirtan (singing together wholeheartedly) to experience and share your joy with one and all.  Sing His glory full-throated and make everyone drink the nectar of the Divine Name.  In fact, the motive of all your endeavours should be expansion of heart and joy for all.  Only then will you be worthy of the title of human being.  Then only is your life as a human being worthwhile.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~ (Divine Discourse – 19.11.2005) #sathyasai #saibhakta

*Swami’s divine teachings on singing bhajans, its rule, etc..* In a Divine Discourse delivered in 1968, Swami teaches us how bhajan singing should be conducted: “Have bhajans (group singing of devotional songs) on as many days as you can, in your village or area. Have them in places where all can come and join, and not in the homes of some people, for in homes not all maybe welcome. Have them as simple as you can, without competitive pomp or show; reduce expenses to a minimum, for God cares for the inner yearning and not the outer trappings. Even this small unavoidable expenditure must be silently shared spontaneously by a few members of the Committee, and not collected by means of a plate or hundi pot, or a subscription or donation list. “The participants must be bound by love, affection and loyalty to one Name and Form. Bhajans are best held on Thursday evenings and Sunday evenings – but that is no unbreakable rule, for it is not the day of the week that counts. It is the heart that must be ready and eager to imbibe the joy and share it. As a matter of fact, bhajan is a constant exercise; it has to be as essential as breathing.” In a DivineDiscourse in 1974, Swami sternly reprimands those conceited bhajan leaders who sing for pomp and praise: “Bhajans (congregational devotional singing) have to be sung and offered to God in an attitude of utter humility; they are not to be taken as exercises in an exhibition of talents and as competitions for mastery of musical skill. They have to please the Lord, not your fans. With each bhajan song, the mind must be rendered purer, freer from passion, and stronger in faith. But, you find that you do not succeed in this task. The adoration does not arise from the heart; nor is it addressed to the Supreme by the sincere Self. It is tainted by the admixture of envy, pride and hate. How can prayers so fouled reach God? #sathyasai #saibhakta

Silence Develops Love Silence is the only language of the realised. Practise moderation in speech. That will help you in many ways. It will develop love, for most misunderstandings and factions arise out of carelessly spoken words. When the foot slips, the wound can be healed; but when the tongue slips, the wound it causes in the heart of another will fester for life. The tongue is liable for four big errors: uttering falsehood, scandalising, finding fault with others, and excessive articulation. These have to be avoided if there is to be peace for the individual as well as for society. The bond of brotherhood will be tightened if people speak less and speak sweetly. That is why silence was prescribed as a vow for spiritual aspirants by the scriptures. You are all spiritual aspirants at various stages of the road, and so this discipline is valuable for you also.

*DIVINE QUOTES ON NAMASMARANA* *What did Swami say about Bhajan?* *I do not take into account your acts of charity,services,etc,infact what melts me is your devotion. When you call upon my name “Sai “ even once with devotion,* *immense faith and yearning, eyes filled with tears of love for me in complete surrender..I will lovingly respond “oyee” like a loving mother and will take care of you just as an eye lid protects eye. Such call is verily a Bhajan* *-Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba* #sathyasai #saibhakta

What is the best way to attain everlasting peace in life? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today with a memorable example. People try to obtain peace by accumulating authority and wealth, which gives them power over others and the ability to command conveniences and comforts which will confer peace. But they quickly realise that both these paths are beset with fear, and the peace that one secures is liable to quick and violent extinction. How then can you achieve peace? Only through Love! Peace is the fruit of the tree of life; without it, the tree is a barren stump with zero value. The fruit is encased within a bitter skin, so that the sweet juice may be preserved and guarded; you must remove the skin to taste its sweetness and to strengthen yourself. The thick rind is symbolic of the six evil passions that encase everyone’s loving heart: lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and hate. Those who succeed in removing the rind and contact the sweetness within through hard and consistent discipline attain the peace that is everlasting and unchanging. – Divine Discourse, Jan 1, 1971. #sathyasai #saibhakta

DON’T CRY FOR MUNDANE THINGS; CRY FOR GOD – Sathya Sai Speaks You must develop such faith, courage and conviction and should not cry over others words. Crying comes quite natural to ladies. It is something like the washer- less taps from which the water drips continuously. It is not good. One must control it. Why should one shed tears? Spiritually, they have a meaning. ‘Nara’ means water. ‘Nayanamu’ means eyes. Water, naara, coming from eyes, nayanamu, becomes ‘Narayanamu’, the Lord. So one should shed tears only for the Lord and for none. They are the tears of joy and not tears of grief. One should not cry for anything. Difficulties and hardships come, but they are like passing clouds. There are no permanent clouds in this world. All have to move on. Once this truth is known, one need not worry any longer. Therefore, one should have firm devotion and conviction. One should develop steady and unwavering mind and looks and should never change one’s outlook. One should never make one’s heart unsacred but make it rooted and steady. – Divine Discourse, July 19, 1997 #sathyasai #saibhakta

Spiritual striving (sadhana) will reveal the true identity of the Omnipresent Divine Self. But be careful; Sadhana can foster even pride and envy as a byproduct of progress. You calculate how much or how long you have done Sadhana and are tempted to look down on another, whose record is less. You are proud that you have recited or written the name of Lord ten million times; you talk about it whenever you get the chance so that others may admire your faith and fortitude. But it is not the millions that count; what matters is the purity of mind that results from genuine concentration on the Name. Your Sadhana must not be like carrying water in a cane basket! You get no water however often or long you walk. Each vice is a hole in the cane baskAND whole. You must also carefully cleanse from your heart malice, greed, hate and anger.- *BABA*- (Divine Discourse, January 13,1969) #sathyasai #saibhakta

Sage Patanjali defines Yoga as the control (nirodha) of the agitations (vrittis) of your mind (chitta). When your mind is stilled and is free from waves produced by the wind of desire, then you become a Yogi! Lord Krishna is called Yogeeshwara in the Gita, for, as the highest Yogi He is the ocean tLORD commit its poison! The inner significance is that He rendered the poisonous snake (sensual desires) harmless! Yoga that enables you to practice sense control and not merely breath control, is the best way to attain the Yogeeshwara. Transcend the ‘many-consciousness’ (anekatwa bhava)the Karwa bhava)! That will end strife, grief, pain and pride. See all as many expressions of the One Lord, as manifold bulbs of various colours and wattage lit by the same current.- *BABA*- (Divine Discourse, May 10, 1969) #sathyasai #saibhakta

Religions are meant to mend the mind The broad ideology that religion is for mending the mind is absent in today’s man. The essence, the destination, the true content of all religions is to purify one’s mind. The religion which was intended to establish the sacred essence of purification of one’s mind has been abused and misused, wrongly interpreted leading to selfishness and chaos. There are yet others who create the delusion that it is the religion that is the root cause for the prevailing strife and chaos. #sathyasai #saibhakta

What lesson can we learn from the way our body operates every moment? Bhagawan lovingly teaches us today a precious truth with a memorable example. A man sees a ripe fruit on a tree. The mind craves for the fruit, but it cannot fulfil the craving by itself. The feet take him near the tree. The trunk stoops, the hand picks up a stone, the shoulders throw it at the fruit which then falls. The fruit has to be picked up by the fingers, transferred into the mouth, the teeth have to bite into it, masticate it well and the tongue has to take charge to make it reach the stomach. The eating part is thus over. But that does not end the story of the craving for the fruit. Since so many instruments cooperated in the fulfilment, gratitude has to be rendered to each of them. So the stomach sends strength and satisfaction to every limb that shared in the adventure. Every limb acts effectively, promptly and performs its entrusted duty, so your body may live in health and efficiency, alert with all its skills and potentialities. This is true also of the enterprises that you undertake with others. Everyone must resolve to use their full skill and intelligence to discharge their obligations. – Divine Discourse, Jan 1, 1971. #sathyasai #saibhakta

* Uma vez que Swami distribuiu sorvete para os meninos. O nome da marca era Sorvete JOY (ALEGRIA) q havia sido doado por um devoto que era dono da empresa. * * Enquanto os meninos estavam apreciando o sorvete, Swami se voltou, como de costume, perguntando aos garotos se eles estavam gostando do sorvete. * E então, de repente, Ele perguntou a um dos garotos: “Menino, como é que você acha que Deus é?” * * O menino ficou surpreso. Ele estava totalmente imerso em desfrutar do sorvete, e Deus estava, pelo menos naquele momento, bem longe de sua mente! Swami fez a outro garoto a mesma pergunta, e ele também só piscou. Depois de algumas vezes mais, não obter nenhuma resposta, Swami sorriu e lentamente disse: “Deus é DOCE como sorvete!” Os meninos ficaram atentos. Swami continuou: “Deus é SUAVE/MACIO como sorvete!” Aí , os meninos pararam de tomar o sorvete , enquanto Swami continuava: “Deus é COOL(na gíria do inglês quer dizer BACANA) como sorvete!” E então a frase mais surpreendente: “Ele dá ALEGRIA como sorvete!” Que jogo delicioso de palavras! #sathyasai #saibhakta

*To get happiness and peace, you must develop a pure and unsullied mind, free from egoism and its progenies – lust, greed, anger, hatred, envy and the rest. For this, you must seek noble company (satsanga), perform good deeds (satkarma), entertain only good thoughts (sat alochana) and read only noble and elevating books (sat granthas).* *You may see a thousand good things or listen to a thousand inspirational speeches or read a thousand good books, but unless you put at least one of their teachings into practice, the blemishes in the mirror of your heart will not be wiped off!* *The Lord cannot be reflected if the mirror of the heart is not clean.

O Sábio Patanjali define Yoga como o controle (nirodha) das agitações (vrittis) de sua mente (chitta). Quando sua mente se aquieta e se livra das ondas produzidas pelo vento do desejo, então você se torna um Yogi! O Senhor Krishna é chamado Yogeeshwara na Gita, pois, como o Yogi mais elevado, Ele é o oceano que não é afetado pelas ondas que agitam a superfície. Na verdade, o jovem Senhor Krishna dançou sobre o topo da serpente Kaliya e a forçou a vomitar seu veneno! O significado interno é que Ele tornou a serpente venenosa (desejos sensuais) inofensiva! Yoga que lhe permite praticar o controle dos sentidos, e não apenas o controle da respiração, é a melhor maneira de atingir o Yogeeshwara. Transcenda a “consciência múltipla” (anekatwa bhava) e cultive ‘Consciência Única’ (ekatwa bhava)! Isso acabará com conflitos, sofrimento, dor e orgulho. Veja todas as expressões do Senhor Único como múltiplas lâmpadas de várias cores e potências iluminadas pela mesma corrente.

Today’s Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2017 What are the measures of progress in the spiritual path? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today so we are vigilant. Ideas of superiority and inferiority arise only in a heart corrupted by egoism. If someone argues that they are superior and their path to worship is holier, it is proof that they missed the very core of faith. Spiritual efforts (sadhana) must reveal the unity in all creation. Ask yourself this: When you rise after bhajans or meditation, do you see everyone in a clearer light, as endowed with Divinity? Do you love more, do you talk less, do you serve others more earnestly? These are the signs of success in Sadhana. Your progress must be authenticated by your character and behaviour. Even a boulder will, through the action of sun, rain, heat and cold, disintegrate into mud and become food for a tree. Sadhana must transmute your attitude towards beings and things; else it is a hoax, a waste of your time! Remember, even the hardest of hearts can be softened and Divine will sprout therein – so, do not give up! – Divine Discourse, Jan 13, 1969 Believe that God resides in all beings. Speak such words as would spread goodness, truth and beauty. – BABA Radio Sai Team. #sathyasai #Saibhakta

❤️OM SAIRAM❤ SRI SATHYA SAI BABA SPEAKS- Love binds one person to another. Love attaches one thing to another. Without Love the Universe is naught. The highest Love makes us aware of the Lord in every one. The Lord is equally present in all. Life is Love; Love is Life. Without God, deprived of God, nothing and nobody can exist. We live on and through the Divine Will. It is His will that operates as Love, in each of us. It is He who prompts the prayer, “Let all the worlds be happy.” For, He makes us aware that the God we adore, the God we love, the God we live by, is in every other being as Love. Thus Love expands and encompasses all creation. – Divine Discourse, December 25, 1981. #sathyasai #saibhakta

On November 1, 1971, the Krishnaraj Rai-Vrinda Rai couple gave birth to a blue-eyed baby girl. Since the family members were Baba devotees, the parents decided to take the baby to Puttaparthi to seek Swami’s blessings. The Rai couple had named the baby “Aishwarya” by this time and Swami, when holding the baby in his arms, asked them about the name. Swami whispered the name softly in the baby’s ears and blessed her. Swami then clarified to the parents that ‘Aishwarya’ might mean wealth for the ignorant but its true meaning was ‘Easwarapriya’ (the one beloved to the Almighty). He went on to say that the baby would grow up to be an embodiment of all true virtues. Aishwarya Rai attended Swami’s school as a Bal Vikas student in Bombay at the Dharmashektra where she participated in seva, bhajans and studies. The Bombay organisers at the Dharmashektra used to select Aishwarya is their favorite Bal Vikas to garland Swami whenever he visited Bombay. In 1991, Rai won an international supermodel contest (organised by Ford) and was eventually featured in the American edition of Vogue. She was crowned the Miss World title in 1994 and went into films. Even to this day Aishwarya Rai sings bhajans and does pujas for our Swami every day, since her Bal Vikas days. #sathyasai #saibhakta

At times we get caught up in meaningless argument or a conflict. How should we deal with those situations? Bhagawan lovingly explains today. Why must you compete and quarrel with one another? Nothing in this world can last as such for long. Lord Buddha diagnosed this correctly and declared, “All is sorrow, all is transient, all are but temporary phenomenon of ephemeral characteristics.” Why should you be so animated by these finite objects and petty things? Strive to gain the eternal, the infinite, the universal. One day, you have to give up the body that you have so carefully fed and fostered. How long can you keep all that you have earned and possessed with pride? Trivial thoughts and desires award only sorrow; holy thoughts and desires reward you with divine peace. Therefore cultivate good and beneficial feelings and desires. Keep away from bad company and bad thoughts. Realise the holy purpose of life through pure thoughts and words, and selfless service to your fellow-beings. – Divine Discourse, May 1981. #sathyasai #saibhakta

▶What is the need of the hour for individual upliftment? Bhagawan describes the current world we live in and gently prods us on the right path. ⏩Your mind is too full of the world and your stomach demands too much of your time and energy. Desires and wants are multiplying faster than your capacity to satisfy them, and your dreams are far too fanciful, leading you into false victories and absurd adventures. Engrossed in the analysis of the material world, you have lost all sense of spirit, sweetness and sublimity. Under this new dispensation, truth is yet another word in the dictionary. Compassion is reduced to a meaningless travesty. People lack self-confidence. Even at the slightest provocation, you are rapidly transformed into a wild and vicious beast. Humility, patience, reverence – these are as invalid as a flameless lamp in the far distance. The only hope you have in today’s dreadful darkness is the name of God. That is the raft which will take you across this stormy sea, darkened by hate and fear, and churned by anxiety and terror. Take it with all earnestness and steadfast faith. – Divine Discourse, Feb 26, 1968. 💖Make your homes the seat of virtue, morality and love. Control anger and greed. ❤Baba❤

❤️OM SAIRAM❤️ SRI SATHYA SAI BABA SPEAKS- There is a divine power that is inherent in every human being. You must strive to manifest it. Recognize that: all the knowledge you have been able to acquire is because of this divine power within you. You must cherish and foster that power. Most people make use of this power for selfish purposes to promote the well-being of themselves and their families. It should really be utilized for the good of the whole world. Recognize the divinity in you and share that experience with all. Use the divine power in you to cultivate virtues, which constitute the essence of education.

Sri Sathya Sai is Lord Sri Dattatreya In every age He incarnates…. the Ancient One…Adi Guru Lord Dattatreya… Divine legends of yore has umpteen reference of Divine Incarnations…and about ‘The Oneness’ of all these varied forms… Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Who Is ‘The Aadimoolam’, Supreme Divinity, Who described Himself as Shiv – Shakti, Supreme Brahmam and Maha Maya in a Single Form… has also revealed Himself to be Lord Dattatreya… verily He Is Lord Dattatreya… read on how Bhagavan revealed His original entity as Lord Dattatreya… O Bhagavan, “Swami, what is Your real form?” Baba smiled and replied, “Bangaroo, I will show it to you some day.” That day came when Baba visited Mudumalai forest. One day after breakfast, Baba walked on to the beautiful meadow in front of the guest house and posed for photographs with every member of the party. A Polaroid camera was used by a student to click the photographs. The photos were given to the members instantly. Finally, Baba asked the student to take a snap of Him standing alone. But, the lower part of His orange robe had been caught in the twigs of a bush. Before the camera clicked, Smt. Ratanlal rushed forward to set right the folds of the robe. Everyone was astonished when Bhagavan shouted at her loudly “Don’t touch Me!” and she retreated quickly. After the camera clicked, Baba held the photo coming out of the camera and gave it to Sri Joga Rao. As he held it in his palm, the black and white Polaroid picture developed gradually. But he was astonished at what did he saw. In the place where he had expected to see Baba’s form in the usual robe, there stood a young human form, which wore a white flowing garment, had three heads and six hands! Each arm was holding an insignia of Divinity. The lower right arm bent at the elbow, was resting on the back of a majestic young cow. The face in the centre was that of Baba! It was the form of Dattatreya as described in Puranas, the integrated form of Trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar! Baba had answered Sri Joga Rao’s question. That was His real form! Bhagavan confirmed while speaking to the students at Trayee Vrundavan the next morning that it was indeed His true form.
