FAITH & LOVE ~ Sathya Sai Baba.

What does Atma mean? It means love only. It is love that unites all. If you imbibe this principle of unity, then all will become one. When you attain this unity, you will have purity. When you have purity, then Atma Tattwa (principle of the Self) will manifest in you. Therefore, you must have unity to attain divinity. I and you are one. God and you are one.

God is present in all in the form of LOVE.

Whatever good or bad you experience is the result of your own feelings. Everything comes from within you. Hence, you should always remain immersed in love. If you have love, you can achieve anything and perform any task. It is love that is responsible for the entire creation and its functioning in this world. There is no greater God than love. Love is God. Whatever you do without love is merely a futile exercise, Hence, treasure love in your heart.

LOOK WITHIN

We shall be judged not by the creed we profess or the label we wear or the slogans we shout, but by the work, the industry, the sacrifice, the honesty and purity of our character. Realise the desires are fulfilled, all the misery and suffering is put to an end.

Feel yourself above the body and its environment, above the mind and its motives, above the thoughts of success and fear. The great cause of suffering in the world is that people do not look within. They rely on outside forces. There is no diversity in this world. There is only oneness. Ekoham Bahusyanm (the One willed to become many). One God appears in many forms. Only those who understand this oneness can attain total bliss.

Every student should fill his heart with faith. You have not come here only for acquiring secular education. You have come here for learning Swami’s teachings. If you follow these teachings with implicit faith, you will be successful in all your endeavours. You should love Swami’s teachings. You should adore them and follow them.

There are a large number of educated persons in this world. But, in what way is the world benefited by them? In fact, they are doing more harm than good in the world. With strong spiritual base, you will be protected even if you are not highly educated. But if you lack spirituality and have everything, then all this is a big zero. Hence, fill your heart with devotion to God.

Always think “I am not this body. It is merely vesture I have put on. It is God within who is doing everything.” God is in you, with you, around you, above you and below you.

Meditation transcends the senses. With the mind made serene by such meditation one can bravely enter the activities of life.

YOU CAN ATTAIN ANYTHING WITH FAITH AND LOVE.

LOVE IS THE TRUE FORM OF GOD.

DEVELOP THE FEELINGS OF ONENESS.

THERE IS NO GREATER GOD THAN LOVE.

SPIRITUAL PRACTICE WITHOUT LOVE HAS NO VALUE.
