FROM PUTTAPARTHI...THE HADSHI DISCOURSE !!!

In the Land of Bharat, tolerance and forbearance constitute the real beauty. What is the nectarine feeling more than the feeling towards one own mother?.

 

How much ever you may learn, still there remains knowledge which is infinite and there is always more to learn.

 

Bharat is the most sacred land – a land of Divinity. Everyone born in this holy land Bharat have done a lot of meritorious deeds in their past lives.

 

What is the purpose of this human life? Human life is gifted to earn God's grace. The person who receives God's grace in abundance can bring transformation in society.

The modern society is full of anxiety and restlessness. Wherever you go, whatever you encounter, you only find misery.

 

We have witnessed several natural calamities recently. The calamities we are passing through have nothing to do with God. It is because of man's own mistakes and his own makings. God teaches only Dharma (righteousness). He never wants you to walk the path of Adharma (unrighteousness).

 

We cannot escape from reflection, reaction and resound. Therefore we should know that God is one. We give many names to the One and the same God. All are one. Therefore, in the whole world, only one is in existence. This is same consciousness in all beings. Ekam Sath, Bahuda Vipraha Bhavanti.

 

In fact we feel we are miserable. If you ask yourself, you will know that the misery is of your own making. It has nothing to do with God. Therefore, never think that everything is given by God. Everything comes back to us because of our own thought process. It is only God which confers bliss to all of us, that is not dual, that is ethereal, and one without a second.

 

If we make deep enquiries into our Vedanta, God gives us nothing. Pain or pleasure is of our own making. We are mistaken if we thing that someone else is responsible for our pain or pleasure.

 

Help Ever, Hurt Never. Love All. Have faith in everyone.

 

There is no human being without love. Even beasts, birds, animals and insects have love. This love is experienced even in the smallest of creatures. We should have deep conviction that God is present in everyone in the form of the Atma – consciousness.

 

You are not hating yourself, you are hating God when you hate others. Every human being is like a mirror. In the mirror, you find a reflection of yourself. In many mirrors, you see many reflections of yourself. Reflection. Reaction. Resound.

 

You are accusing yourself, blaming yourself. Therefore, whoever you come across, have deep faith that they are all God's forms. Man fails to understand this truth. It is not proper on our path to make fun of anyone or hate anyone. Love is the only royal path that takes you closer to God.

 

Therefore all noble souls merged in God because of their incessant love for God. Sakkubai went on repeating "Ranga, Ranga, Ranga". Everybody made fun of her and her husband persecuted her. Ultimately, she merged in God. She always said "I am not different from Ranga". In all three states of awareness, she thought of Ranga only.

 

An atheist in Tamil Nadu used to take the idol of Vinayaka and beat Him with slippers. Karunanidhi used to enjoy this act. But Karunanidhi now declares that Sathya Sai is God. It's quite likely that we commit mistakes out of ignorance. Then we repent. But you have to make amends for your mistakes. True repentence gives us atonement for our sins.

Karunanidhi's son Stalin believes in God. He comes to Puttaparthi and shares his experience with others when he goes to Delhi.

 

It is only God who speaks, walks, listens to every activity.

 

We go by name and form. We may call it snake or scorpion. God is in every creature. God has given skills to different creatures to protect themselves. The scorpion stings in self defence and not with an intention to hurt. In a dense forest, a lion hurts only if hurt. Reaction, reflection, resound.

 

Bad actions lead to bad results. So do good. All that you face are consequences of our thought process. Our thoughts should be pure. A human being should have human values. Today, human beings are treated like dogs. Therefore all defects and mistakes lie with man. Reaction, reflection and resound.

 

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that we correct our own mistakes and do not search for mistakes in others.

 

People made fun of those involved in the rescue of flood victims. In the same way, the whole community made fun of Sakkubai who kept chanting the name of Krishna. They were finally taught a lesson by Krishna. God is an ocean of love. Out of gross injustice and utter ignorance, we don't understand ourselves and we blame God. The good or bad that we face is the consequence of our own doing. So we have to correct ourselves within.

 

The Christians believe in 'I'. Cut the 'I' and it becomes a cross. The ego has to be killed. Once we get rid of this ego, then we can realise the real self. Man today is knowledgeable in all aspects of life. He is conquering space, prepared to count stars. But he fails in simple things. Love is the undercurrent of everything.

 

There are different kinds of sweets, but the sugar is one. The Upanishads say that whomsoever you salute, it reaches God. God is the one, who gives you everything. Understand your own mind. Realise your own mistake.

 

Help Ever. Hurt Never. He is a true man who knows this fundamental truth, who has morality and character. If you understand this, you will not put anyone to suffering. Recognise unity in diversity. God is only one – Atma – consciousness, has no name or form. It is the spirit or consciousness which permeates all beings. Several lights exist, but current is one.

 

We may undertake several spiritual activities but it all comes back to oneness. If you understand the oneness, you will have peace and bliss. You are Atma – the only one – the eternal one. God is only one – never think that He is many. When we face difficulties, we chant many names. But when we don't have any problems in life, we don't think of God. We should cling on to 'Soham'. The name given to everyone at the time of birth is 'Soham'. We will redeem our lives, working for liberation, if we know the Divine principle and Divine nature.

 

Many people speak of Swami differently. It is their imagination. Bhagawan has no imagination at all. All imagination should be dispensed.

 

Politicians know nothing. If they know the truth, the nation will be a better place. Do not follow politics. There is no relation between what the politician says and what he does.

 

If anybody does good, follow it. This is the message of Baba to all of us today. The whole world should be happy. Let all the beings be happy. You will acquire this bliss through love. We say 'Peace, peace, peace'. Where is this peace ? Only pieces.

 

Bhagawan is happy and blesses all those gathered here.

 

Om Sai Ram

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...SURRENDER TO HIM !!!

What Iam is Swami's Wonderful Gift to me, What I become is My Gift to Bhagawan.

 

The best thing that can happen to anyone is when Bhagawan enters one's life and showers His blessings in various ways known only to Him. When, where, how and why are questions whose answers are unknown to anyone and will ever remain unknown to mankind.

 

There may be a delay, but there is no denial in God's Divine World. All our prayers, big or small, will be answered in God's time. Swami teaches us the Real Value of Patience in everything we do.

 

"Swami gave me Nothing that I wanted, But He gave me Everything that I needed.

 

Om Sai Ram

 

" You only talk of Sharanam (surrender), of placing all at the Feet; but you withhold a great deal. Your minds are wayward like monkeys that skip and jump from bough to branch. Give them to Me; I can make them steady and harmless. When I say, sit, they will sit; when I say, stand, they stand. That is what Shankaraacharya offered to do; he told Shiva that he will hand over the monkey that was his mind to Him so that it might be tamed and used for His delight. But, it must be a complete handing over; no reservations ".

 

For a true devotee there should be no evil traits such as hatred, jealousy, anger or greed. These are the main obstacles to devotion which enter your being. You must develop a sense of unity with everyone. If you develop hatred towards anyone, you will be hating the very Lord whom you worship. It is because of your inflated ego that you take action against another, in the course of which, hatred, jealousy and anger arise. Therefore, the primary warning given in the Gita says, "Show no hatred towards any being".

Om Sai Ram

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...SATHYA SAI AVATAR !!!

Swami was once talking to Dr. Alreja in the bhajan hall of the old Mandir. Swami told him that the Rama avatar and Krishna avatar had come, completed their mission, and left in their respective eras... and they would do so again in the next cycle. But the Sai avatars are unique. The Sai trinity would not come again in subsequent Kali Yugas. So do not miss this opportunity. He added that this is the first and last of its kind so make full use of this avatar. He also told the devotees to spread the message of the Avatar for the benefit of mankind.

Source: Heart2heart e-journal

 

Once in the very early days, Swami came out with a Bundle of 100 rupee notes, Swami looked around and then called a very old Devotee and gave him the Money and then asked in Telugu "Jabu ekkada?" meaning "Where is the letter"? When there was no answer, Swami smiled and said "where is the letter that you had written and wanted to give it to me, and you had written in it that you wanted me to help you as you had no money",

 

Swami said "Swami knows everything, anywhere and everywhere when my People write any letter to me, I know what they are writing, Swami does not need to read every letter, I read letters before you to so that you are happy when you see Me reading your letters."

Swami's Divine and Wonderful Words.

 

Om Sai Ram

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...NICE RESPONSE TO 'I'M GOD' !!!

Good song and good message. Swami Vivekananda also said:" Every man is divine. It is a sin to call a man a sinner". What everyman should do is that in the last but one line, one's own name should be inserted. For example, I should say, "I am Rao, I am Rao, I am Rao; I am God " etc. That is the real purpose  of Bhagawan Satya Sai Baba, not that you and I should praise him as God, even though he is That. His aim is that we should all recognise our divinity within.  Those who have followed this message since July 28, 1999 ( for over ten years) would have seen a great change in their life, if they are alive. Bye Sairam!
KANKIPATI SRINIVASA RAO

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...I AM GOD !!!

I am God! I am God! I am not different from God!
Grief and anxiety cannot affect me.
I am always content. Fear cannot enter me.
I am Satchidananda! I am pure Existence, Knowledge and Bliss.
I am Omnipotent! I am all-powerful; nothing is impossible for me!
I am Omniscient! I am all knowing;
I am Omnipresent! I am present everywhere. I pervade this universe!
I am Krishna! I am Christ! I am Buddha!
I am Sai! I am Sai! I am Sai!
I am God! I am God! I am God!

Every one of you Try saying that ten times a day, and see how changes come over your life and how fast your life changes.

- From Bhagawan's Guru Poornima discourse on July 28, 1999 at Prashanti Nilayam.

Om Sai Ram

This cosmos is a vast exhibition. It is the creation of the Lord. All are entering this exhibition and taking whatever they choose. Some seek jobs, others wealth and so on. They are content to take objects of their choice.

When you have entered the cosmic exhibition, you must seek the Divine. Then, the whole Universe becomes yours. You must seek that which is lasting and unchanging. There is no meaning in going after one thing after another. There is no end to that process. There is no satisfaction in that. What you acquire today loses its charm the next day and you desire something new. But once the Divine is attained, all things are obtained.

GOD IF YOU THINK GOD YOU ARE. THINK GOD. BE GOD.

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...WATCH !!!

AUM SAI RAM

 

" WATCH! Watch your Words, Actions,Thoughts,Conduct and Heart!"- Sathya Sai Baba.

 

 

Truly speaking, the omnipresent and omniscient Baba too is watching our words,actions, thoughts,conduct and heart always.

 

Very often, He demonstatres His omnipresence and omniscience to us only to remind us that we have failed to 'watch!'

 

This experience is for sharing-

 

While I  read Baba's thought for the day everyday,occasionally and when the thought for the day is too lenthy,I would ,in the manner of a lazy school child

 

and without a second thought delete it from my mail,preferring short and crisp thoughts of two lines-,for example, Love Ever! Hurt Never! Easy to assimilate!

 

Easy to practice! Easy to pass the exams!

 

Consequently,last thursday, I opened my mail box, and clicked on the thought for the day.One quick glance and ouff! too long to read,I deleted it.

 

Now, see how Baba comes into action! I attended' bhajans satsang' later in the evening at the Sai Centre of Bruxelles.I knew the song I was going to sing by

 

heart,hence I deliberately left my reading glasses behind.  However,to my utter surprise,as soon as I took a seat on the carpeted floor of the bhajan hall,a Sai

 

Sister whispered in my ear-

 

'Will you read the thought for the day of Swami in English?' At the same time, she handed over to me, a print out of the thought for the day which I had so

 

callously deleted from my mail.

 

I took the paper and acquiesced with'Sairam!'

 

After bhajans,and the reading of the thought for the day in Flemish and in French,in turn I read with bliss but also with loving pain, and difficulty(as I am

 

extremely short sighted) the thought for day in English.I thanked Baba profusely for chosing me to read His message and for watching my

 

words,actions,thoughts,conduct and heart.

 

 Coincidentally, I found a hidden message for me in that thought.-.a messge from the Higher Consciousness.

 

Thy will,My Lord! Not mine!

 

At the Lotus Feet of Sai

 

Anita Bacha

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...ALL SWAMI'S WILL !!!

Once Swami Bhagawan was asked " Swami, What is the meaning and Significance of all your Wonderful Miracles ?",

Swami's Most beautiful and Wonderful answer was :

"DO YOU THINK THAT SWAMI NEEDS TO CREATE VIBUTHI, GIVE RINGS, WATCHES AND OTHER THINGS?, NO, SWAMI'S NAME WILL SPREAD EVEN WITHOUT ME DOING NOTHING AND KEEPING QUITE. Do you think that Krishna needed to Lift the Govardhana Parvatha (Mountain) ?, Everything would have stopped by just a Look at the Skies, Do you think that Ramachandra could not find Sitadevi on his Own, For one who created everything, Finding Sita was nothing at all, Then Why Did Rama Suffer so much, Why did Sri Krishna Become a Lowly chariorteer when he could have stopped everything, It was beacuse They wanted their Lives to be a Lesson to the Everyone, and what is the Lesson ?, the Lesson is that THE LORD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

Do you think that Swami does not know all your Problems and cannot solve them, I can immedaiately but I want all of you to learn Good things In Life, Learn the Values of Love and Faith, Love everyone and have faith in The Lord, If all your problems are solved without you doing anything, then How will you learn the Lessons in Life,
You Love the Divine with a Pure Heart,Help others with a Pure heart and God is with you always. Only when you are in Troubles will you learn the Love for GOD.

In the Mahabarata during the Aranyavasa (Life in the Forest) feeling alone and Deserted without anyone caring for them, The Pandavas were feeling very dejected with seemingly no one to turn to, it was the only time in the whole of the Mahabarata that even Draupadi Doubted Krishna himself saying that Even Krishna had deserted them, What did Krishna Do then?, When Sage Durvasa had come with a Large Following Demanding Food and when the Akshaya Pathra could not produce Food, He just tasted a Small Tulsi Leaf left over in the Plate and everyone Stomach's were filled. The Lord shows himself in his True form only when Needed when People pray to Him with a Pure Heart and when People care for others like their own.

 When you travel by train, you have only to purchase the ticket, enter the proper train, and take a seat, leaving the rest to engine. Why should you carry the bed and trunk on your head? So, too, put trust in the Lord and carryon to the best of your ability.

- Swami

Om Sai Ram.

FROM PUTTAPARTHI...FOOD FOR THOUGHT !!!

These are excerpts taken from a discourse given by Swami at the  Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning in July 1996 ( the excerpts are taken from the book Sai Prescriptions, published by the Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust, Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital Hospital in Whitefield, Bangalore).

Food for Healthy Body and Mind

 

"Right food must essentially contain Sathwic food. It means that the food must not contain mutton, fish, onions and the like. In your hostel, there is of course no mutton and fish! But, onions are used extensively. This is because it does not get spoilt. It also has its advantages. It improves your digestion power.

There is a popular saying in Telugu, "the good done by the onion (ulli) is not done by your own mother (thalli)!'' You must also take care to avoid excess of spice, chilli and salt. May people think that Sathwic food means fruits and milk. These can also be thamasic! For example, eating two bananas is correct. If you eat four bananas, it becomes thamasic. Do not take a cup of thick milk. Comparatively, it is hence said " One cup of wine is better than a cup of milk."Thick milk contains plenty of fat and calcium. It is also liberally laced with glucose. When the blood is saturated with too much of glucose, it turns the residual glucose into acid. The result is that you develop boils. This acid and the blood combines to form stones in the gall bladder.

Ensure that you take at least seven to eight cups of water daily. Water cleanses your internals. This also ensures that stones do not form inside your kidneys because water goes to the kidneys and constantly keeps itflushed.Eat rice and vegetables well. Green leafy vegetables are the best of the lot. This is because under the skin lies a very light secondary layer, It is this layer that protects the skin. Green leaves strengthen this layer, apart from having other benefits. It is very good for heart patients too because green vegetables are totally free of oils. Vegetables contribute to some extent to the cholesterol. What must you do when you have excess cholesterol? Cholesterol is essential to some extent. The limit prescribed is about 10%. But if it crosses 20% or 30% your nerves and veins will harden like rusted pipes. This consequently thickens the blood making the heart pump less and less blood. The heart pumps the blood and sends it to the lungs which purifies the blood and distributes it to the entire body. When the heart pumps less, more and more cholesterol accumulates there, which is dangerous for the heart. Hence it is advisable to take a white onion daily.

Garlic pills can also be taken daily, a daily intake of one pill after lunch will get rid of the cholesterol problem. Green leafy vegetables and drumsticks are very healthy for the body. Drumsticks are good for the brain. Do not take too much of potatoes.  Potatoes contain 80 % starch that will only make you slightly fat, but also give you very little in terms of health.Tomatoes are also good. The seeds of the tomatoes may be removed and a curry made of the tomato. This is because the seeds of the tomato do not get digested easily. They remain in the digestive canal and gradually become stones, when they combine with glucose. These stones go down to the stomach and remain a mass, giving frequent trouble.

We must also ensure that eating must always be in a limited quantity. You  must be able to get up from your plate with the same ease and lightness  with which you sat down to eat. This is the correct limit. You come quite easily to eat. But when you get up you need a support ! Many people develop a paunch like that.

Proportion is very important as it confers health to the body. Never take meat, cigarettes, or other intoxicants and drugs. Habitual cigarette smokers develop cancer. You can perform this test on smokers. Take a white cloth and put it across the mouth after the person has smoked. You will see bright red dots on the cloth. When the external cloth has itself been so noticeably spoilt, you can well imagine how much destruction it is causing to the veins and lungs. The two fingers that hold the cigarette will develop a yellow colouration. White spots develop on the lips. The skin around the lips turn dark. You must avoid taking curds. It is better to take the two cups of buttermilk. Curds have too much of protein."
