Lakshmana é o exemplo clássico desse espírito de rendição que salva. Uma vez, durante seu exílio na floresta, Rama pediu a Lakshmana que construísse uma cabana de palha no local de sua escolha. Lakshmana ficou chocado e foi atingido pelo sofrimento. Ele implorou a Rama: “Por que você me pede para escolher o local? Você não sabe que eu não tenho vontade própria? Você decide e eu obedeço. Você comanda e eu cumpro a ordem”. Essa é a rendição verdadeira, adquirida pela prática constante do desapego. (Discurso Divino, 11 de janeiro de 1966) Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

O Desejo é a causa raiz de todas as ações. O desejo é motivado pelo apego, que se origina da falta de compreensão. O ego é a causa dessa ignorância. Quando a ignorância é removida, o ego diminui. A ausência de egoísmo leva ao entendimento correto, declínio dos desejos e purificação das ações. Então a vida se torna significativa. (Discurso Divino, 4 de outubro de 1989) Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

As pessoas não têm absolutamente qualquer controle sobre seus desejos. Quando um desejo é realizado, elas anseiam por outro. A raiva é outra característica má que arruína. O ódio é mais perigoso que a raiva. Ele dá origem a muitas características malignas que impedem a pessoa de experimentar a Divindade. Você também será atormentado pela reflexão, reação e ressonância de suas próprias característica malignas. Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

The Gopis knew the secret of spiritual surrender. Their worship was not tainted by any bargaining spirit. For those who bargain and crave for profit, for whom reverence is equated with returns, ‘sell’ homage for a unit satisfactory response. They are like paid servants, bargaining salary, overtime, bonus, etc. They calculate how much they are able to extract for the service rendered. On the other hand, be like a member of the family, a kinsman, a friend. Feel that you are Lord’s very own. Then work will not tire you, it will be done much better, and in fact will yield more satisfaction. And what about the wages? The master will maintain you in bliss. What more can you aspire for? Leave the rest to Him. He knows best; He is all. The joy of having Him is enough reward. Live your lives on these lines and you will never suffer grief. “Na me bhaktah pranashyati – My devotees nevertheless suffer,” says Krishna.- *BABA*-(Divine Discourse, August 19, 1965) #sathyasai #saibhakta

Vocês têm esse hábito de comer carne. Muitas pessoas têm que matar os animais por causa do seu não-vegetarianismo. Você é responsável pela morte desses animais. Eles são mortos porque você os come. Isso é pecado. Que pecado matar animais inocentes e comê-los.” (21 Nov 1995) You take this meat eating. Many people have to kill the animals because of your non-vegetarianism. You are responsible for the death of those animals. They are killed because you eat them. This is a sin. What a sin to kill innocent animals and eat them.” (21 Nov 1995) #sathyasai #saibhakta

🙏🏻Loving Sairam to All🙏🏻 🌻Thought for the Day🌻 🦋29th July 2017 🌸📢What is the clarion call that Bhagawan gives to everyone who believes in service? Bhagawan lovingly underscores today the important change that all of us who serve must experience. 🎀📚Nurture the will to give, the will to renounce the little for the big and the momentary for the sake of the momentous! 🎀🎗The Sevadal badge you wear is not a decoration item which can be secured without a price. 🎀📿It is a symbol of high character, generous feelings and steady and sincere endeavour. 🎀🙏🏻It is the external indicator of internal enthusiasm and strength, skill and faith. 🎀🔱As iron is drawn by the magnet, and when you allow these qualities to shine through you, it will draw the dejected, the downcast and the distressed towards you. 🎀🗣If you are proud and self-centred, blind to the kinship that binds all in fraternal love, the badge is a betrayal. 🎀🐬Mere sentiment and empathy are of no use; they must be regulated by intelligence and skill. 🎀🌞It is not the quantity of service you do that matters; nor is the variety. It is the inner joy, the love that you radiate that is important. – Divine Discourse, May 19, 1969. 💕🌹The best way to love God is to love all, serve all. 🌹💕 ❤Baba❤ #sathyasai #saibhakta

BHAGAVAN UVACHA ” If you take the love of the Gopis for example, you may ask for what purpose they love Krishna ? They had no concern for wordly things. They were concerned only with Spiritual Quest. Anyone looking at the Gopi’s conduct from the wordly point of view might regard their actions as improper. When their mother-in-law beat them or their husbands abused them, they did not utter a word; they did not complain, because they carried the image of Krishna in their hearts. Would it have been possible for them to put up with all troubles inflicted on them; if their love for Krishna was mere sensuous love ? They were unlettered, simple village folk. Their love for the Lord was so transcendent (exceed beyond limit) that even Narada praised them for their pure and unalloyed devotion.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

‘Sathya sai Inspires & RadioSai’ Message of the day (07.28.2017): Eating must be succeeded by elimination; inhalation has to be followed by exhalation; blood must flow in and flow through, to circulate and maintain health. Taking in and giving up are the obverse and reverse of the same process. This is true of individuals, societies, nations and the human race. Progress and peace depends on sacrifice, renunciation and service. Be alert to the call to serve, everywhere, at all times; be ready with a smile, a kind word, a useful suggestion, diligent care, and pleasant reply. Look around for chances to relive, rescue or resuscitate. Train yourselves that you may render help efficiently and well. Seva plants a seed on stone and is delighted to see it sprout! Plant it with love, and the seed will discover love inside the stone and draw sustenance therefrom. Seva is the most rewarding form of austerity, the most satisfying and the most pleasurable. It springs out of love and scatters love in profusion.- *BABA.-(Divine Discourse, May 19,1969)* #saibhakta #sathyasai

TRIBUTE TO MR V SRINIVASAN Former Trustee, SSSCT and Former All India President, SSSSO  A few months back, the 8th of May 2017 to be precise, a member of Team Radio Sai was in the city of Chennai in his personal capacity to attend a solemn ceremony. It was the funeral of Mrs. Vidya Srinivasan, the wife of Mr. V. Srinivasan (who was referred to fondly as AIP, ‘All India President’ of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – even after he quit that role as he had served Swami in that capacity for a number of years). She was past 75 and her husband was nearly an octogenarian. But that did not stop him from warmly expressing his gratitude to all who had come for the funeral. He shook hands with Prakash and personally ensured that he was comfortable. “My sincerest condolences, deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers sir…” With a contemplative smile, AIP responded, “It is all His will. After four decades of getting the opportunity to work for Him, I have realised that it is not an exaggeration when they say that not a blade of grass moves without Divine Will.” Later, after the ceremony, Mr. Srinivasan spoke his heart out with our team member. “I have so much to do…” “You have done a lot for Swami sir…” “No! People are very kind because of Bhagawan’s love and grace. But that doesn’t mean I can be lenient on myself…”  Picking up the Sutra Vahini book that was on the table beside where he was seated, Mr. Srinivasan continued, “Lifetimes are not enough to understand Swami’s love and teachings. I am reading all the while now. See, I have even underlined important points for me to understand and put into practice. Swami has done so much for me. I hope I can do something at least for Him. But then, that too is His decision and will.” Prakash was moved by his humility. The 70s and 80s are years when one is way past one’s prime. But it was in such an advanced age that the man who sat beside him had taken the lead in organising a unique, first-of-its-kind and highly successful Sai Symphony orchestra during the 90th Birthday celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Prasanthi Nilayam. #sathyasai #saibhakta

Balvikas children must lead a Dharmic path – Sathya Sai Speaks There are many students in our colleges with varied experiences who were wandering in many ways outside and were addicted to many bad things. Such students after joining in our college are becoming best students and the kind of ideal life which they are leading cannot be identified by others except Sai himself. Young children like 9 year olds or 10 year olds, are smoking cigarettes and beedis, and going to places where they can drink alcohol. Parents are not properly training their children who indulge in all these bad habits and instead think that their children are doing something really great and go on boasting that their son is able to smoke 10 cigarettes a day which is an insult to them. There are parents who will pat on the back of the boy, and say you have done a great job by playing cards for the whole night and earned ten rupees. How their future will become consecrated if the students instead of studying indulge in all bad vices and bad habits. If the plant in its tender age were to become crooked and get a curved shape, then the whole tree too will be crooked.The Balvikas teachers must take responsibility to bring such educated parents closer to them by attracting them with sweet and soft words and explaining them the right situations.Therefore, it is imperative to provide training to these teachers for at least 3 months. While there are many other things which our balvikas teachers have to acquire, experience and learn, yet one after another it is necessary to put them on a right path. Divine Discourse, Nov 22, 1975 Listen to the above quote in His voice – http://bit.ly/2tQ0osV Radio Sai Team #sathyasai #saibhakta

You may even be looking at the Lord, but you are not asking for the divinity itself. No doubt, you are praying to God, but you are asking for petty material things and worldly things. You are at the wish-fulfilling tree and you are asking for trivial coffee powder. You have to pray for the wish fulfilling tree to grant you the transcendental principle which will fill you forever with eternal bliss. Your devotion must go on increasing and progressing, keeping in mind the firm belief that God is residing inside your own body. If you want to seek and search for the Lord who is residing inside you, you have to turn your vision inwards. How should you aspire for the Lord? You have to cry the way a calf cries for its mother who has left it and gone off with the herd. You have to cry like a chaste woman who has lost her husband and wails in pain at the separation. You have to cry in the way that a childless couple implores and pleads with God for a child. This is how you should pray to the Lord, full of devotion, longing to realize his presence within you. Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

Mas você não faz parte deste mundo. Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. But you are not part of that world. Sri Sathya Sai Baba..

Behaviour of Sathya Sai Sevadal; An analogy – Sathya Sai Speaks The first thing we should do is to recognize the meaning which is appropriate to “Sathya Sai Sevadal”. This is a flower; there are many petals on this flower. All the petals of this flower join together at the base. Who are you? You are the member of the Sathya Sai Sevadal and are comparable to the individual petals in this flower. This entire group, all the members, like the petals which merge in one place, should also merge and become one with Sathya Sai. When it is said that you should become one with Sathya Sai, you should interpret it as saying that you should become one with the ideals of Sathya Sai, one with the sacred example which Sathya Sai sets. But if you become distant from the ideals and from the example of Sathya Sai, you will drop like the separate petals. If you have, as your ideals, your own thoughts and your own example…you will fall off. The ideals of Sathya Sai are very sacred. All the people of the world should have happiness, peace and bliss. This is the ideal of Sathya Sai. Divine Discourse, Nov 22, 1978 #sathyasai #saibhakta

Shivoham Chant is a combination of 6 Sanskrit slokas (stanzas) also known as “Nirvana Shatakam Shivoham” spoken and written by Adi Shankaracharya around 788-820 CE. In the eight century, when Adi Shankaracharya was eight years of age, he was wandering in the Himalayas in the search of his Guru. He then encountered a sage who asked him, “who are you?. The boy answered with these stanzas, which summarized the entirety of advaita vedanta in six stanzas. The boy was talking to Swami Govindapada Acharya, who was, indeed, the guru he was looking for. Listening to these verses and contemplating on them can be of tremendous value to spiritual growth and self-realization. We especially recommend to listen to these verses, whenever you are in any confusion of life. You can meditate with this chant, just close your eyes and listen to it. #sathyasai #saibhakta

One afternoon The Late Sri N.Kasturi and Sri Indulal Shah were doing Pada Seva of Swami in a room on the first floor of Prasanthi Mandir. They noticed Swami was drawing a sketch on a piece of paper. After some time, He handed over that piece of paper to Shri Kasturi. To their surprise, they saw the symbols of five religions drawn in a circle while in the center there was the back portion of Swami’s own head mostly depicting its matchless hair. Sri Kasturi asked, “Swami, why the back of the face and not the front?” Baba explained, “So that you may not keep the paper in the safe and do nothing about it!” Bhagawan then clarified the point. “This will be the symbol of the Sai Organisation-five religions in the circle with the symbol of Prashanti viz, the Lotus in the centre.” This was the birth of the Sarva Dharma symbol. #sathyasai #saibhakta

What ANANDAMAYI MA says about SAI BABA She was one of the Greatest Saints of this century. She had often been asked, “Who is this Sathya Sai Baba we keep hearing about?” But for many years she never gave an answer. In the last year of her life, however, the question came up again, and this time she gave the following response: “This body will speak on this question only once; don’t ask again. Sathya Sai Baba is the most powerful incarnation of God ever to come to the Earth. It’s no wonder you keep hearing about Sai Baba. He is the Avatar of this Yuga! And there won’t be another at His level for another sixty centuries.” * April 30, 1896, Brahmanbaria District, Bangladesh °August 27, 1982, Dehradun, India #sathyasai #saibhakta

Questions to and Answers by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba ********* Q: Swami, why was I born? Sai: For what purpose were you born? Man has been sent into the world … to realise the truth that he is not man, but God. The wave dances with the wind, basks in the sun, frisks in the rain, imagining it is playing on the breast of the sea; it does not know that it is the sea itself. Until it realises the truth, it will be tossed up and down; when it knows it, it can lie calm and collected, at peace with itself. Q: How am I God, Swami? I am a human being with a human body Sai: You are in this body, in this receptacle, … to realize the God you really are. This body is the cocoon that you have spun round yourself, by means of your impulses and desires. Use it to grow wings so that you can escape from it! Q: Do I have to reach God? Sai: All creatures have to reach God. It is the destiny of man to journey from human-ness to divinity, as he has already journeyed from animal-ness. Some may ascend a plane, others may travel by car or board a bus, some may prefer a train journey, others may like to trudge along — but all must reach the goal, some day or other. Q: But, Swami, where will I find Him? Sai: The Divine Principle is the very core of man. … It is the source of strength which is unfailing and irresistible. … The Divine is here before you, behind you, inside you, outside you; the Intelligence through which you can recognise. Q: I’m sure I could find God if I lived here at Prashanti Nilayam, with You. Sai: The community in which you find yourself is the arena where you can win the victory, the gymnasium where you develop the skill to win. Q: But why must I stay in such an unhappy world, where I too am unhappy? Sai: You learn by the experience of the buffetings of the World. The World is a very essential part of the curriculum of man. The … world is like a hotel to which we have come to experience the consequences of our actions in the past. The body is a room in the hotel in which we have to undergo the Karmic consequences. #sathyasai #saibhakta

Quando sua mente estiver límpida, o mundo organizado por ela também parecerá limpo. – Baba Manifestações do Amor Divino! Pensamento para o dia 15/06/2017 A maior doença é a ausência de paz. Então, todos os que desejam uma boa saúde devem prestar atenção às emoções, sentimentos e motivos que os animam. Assim como você leva roupas a uma lavanderia, você deve lavar a mente para se livrar da sujeira repetidamente; caso contrário, a sujeira acumula-se para formar um hábito, e torna-se então difícil para o lavador, bem como prejudicial para a roupa. A limpeza deve ser um processo diário; você deve cuidar para que nenhuma sujeira se instale na mente. Isso exige que você esteja em companhia tal que a mentira, a injustiça, indisciplina, crueldade e ódio, que formam a sujeira, sejam evitados. Verdade, retidão, paz, não-violência e amor, formam os elementos limpos. Se você inalar o ar puro destes últimos, sua mente estará livre de bacilos doentios e você será mentalmente resistente e fisicamente forte. (Discurso Divino, 21 de setembro de 1960) Sathya Sai Baba

You should think, ‘I am Rama’…” Who is a man? Is man indicated by his limbs? The proper study of mankind is man. What is mankind? The unity of thought, words and action is mankind. It demonstrates humanness. You think one thing, speak something else, and do something else. This is not humanness, it is demonic nature. Man must have unity of thought, word and deed. For wicked people, thought, word and deed are in disharmony. We have to talk what we think, and do what we say. First and foremost, students must have good behaviour. If behaviour is good, then you will see good everywhere. Wherever you go, your goodness will follow you. You have to develop such qualities. Don’t look for quantity. What is the use of quantity? We must look for the quality and not the quantity. Develop good quality. Give joy to your parents. Set an ideal in the society. Through words and senses, we can attain a very high state. Study well. When you are studying, study well; while playing, play well. Concentrate on the work which you are doing at that time. You should not keep talking while studying. If we are talking while studying, then we are not only ruining ourselves but we are also ruining others. Through empty words nobody can get happiness. By bad talk we are not only ruining ourselves but we are also ruining the other person also. We should not ruin ourselves and others in this manner. When you study, you must sit in solitude and concentrate. While playing, concentrate on playing. When you shout and laugh while playing the game, you cannot enjoy the game and benefit from it. Thus, while playing also concentration is required. Concentration should be there in all activities. If you want to go out of this building, you can’t go out of this window! You have to concentrate and find the main door and walk out through that. Concentration should become your way of life. With good concentration, get good marks, good name and good character. #sathyasai #saibhakta

Prashanthi message for the day… Swami: “When you call yourself a member of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Dal, you must always serve remembering that you are serving the Lord. Remember in what spirit Hanuman served Sri Rama. You should not imagine that because he was a monkey he lacked intelligence or other qualities. He has been described as ‘tranquil, virtuous and strong.’ When questioned by the demons in Ashokavana in Lanka as to who he was and where he had come from, Lord Hanuman replied, “I am the servant of Rama”. He did not boast about his valour or knowledge but was content to describe himself as a humble and devoted servant of the Lord. Bear in mind the maxim, “Without being a kinkara (one who is ready to carry out the Lord’s command) you cannot become Sankara (The Divine).” Transform your life through service, without giving any room for arrogance or self-interest. Firmly install in your heart the feeling that wherever and whenever you serve, you serve the Lord alone. Only then, serving fellow-beings becomes equal to serving God!” – Divine Discourse, Mar 23, 1989. Learn to give, not to take; learn to serve not to rule – Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta

What is the true essence of Seva – Sathya Sai Speaks While doing service, it is not enough if you alone have satisfaction but you should bear in mind that the person who is receiving this service from you should be satisfied. You must first try and understand and interrogate yourself if by your service you have caused any inconvenience, harm or hurt to others. The members of the Sathya Sai Sevadal should promulgate and propagate the ideals of Sathya Sai Seva and thus they should broaden their own mind. To serve only human beings cannot be called complete service. To be able to serve even other living beings will also be called service. Eshwara is present in all living things. You must first recognize this truth that Eshwara is present in every living thing. It is only when such faith is firmly implanted in your mind, your service will become fruitful and you will attain salvation. But if you do not have such faith, any service that you may render is not going to be fruitful. Divine Discourse, Nov 16, 1975 #sathyasai #saibhakta
