MESSAGE
I am not the body - a mass of flesh, bones and blood
I am not the mind - a bundle of wasteful desires manifest and
unmanifest
I am not the felling of infatuation that obstructs my way
to liberation;
I Am That Eternal Paramatman, who is aware of the power that
I AM
Students!
Accept My Blessings. Received your letters
full of fragrant flowers of information and prayerful
salutation. They have caused this nice letter to be sent to you.
This letter is giving joy to Sai and bringing Sai to you.
The need of the hour is not to picture life as a
garden of happiness and romantic love, but to hold it out as a
battle (field) meant to be lived as an ideal of heroism and
courage. In the present circumstances, a play of words would be
of no use at all. By obtaining mere degrees, we can neither make
your motherland glow with glory nor can you blossom for
yourselves. Seeking Truth, you should transform yourselves into
great devotees, lovers of God and be ready for any supreme
sacrifice including laying down life itself. Bidding good-bye to
all selfishness and self-interest, making Divine love as the bow
and Wisdom as arrow, be heroic students placing your faith in
transcendental truth and God.
You should know that you are born to achieve great
and stupendous tasks in life. You are the children of God,
heroes in action, great soldiers in the age of Kali, full of
compassion and Divine Love resolved to make Divinity resound
with success in the world.
This is not the time to rest and sleep. The future
image of a glorious new Bharath depends on you. The mother is
awaiting your arrival on the scene. If the morality of Bharath
is destroyed, the world will sink into utter ruin. If the
spirituality of Bharath suffers any setback, it will be for the
destruction of the world. The unity and the integrity of the
nation would suffer a setback. The morality of Bharath is its
sweet experience of Divine Love. The Love for God should
saturate and flow as the very life-blood. Hearts should fill and
overflow with waves of idealism. Don't become slaves of external
life and education and destroy the small saplings of
spirituality in your heart. Light the lamps of Truth and dispel
all weakness in your heart. You are messengers of God and not
servants of the Lord of Death. Establish the Kingdom of
devotion. Earn the love of God. Develop spiritual knowledge
along with worldly education. Love based on gunas suffers
modification. make that transcendental love as your goal in
life.
Don't become slaves of low desires and feelings. make
spirituality as your dwelling place. Every object in creation is
transient. It is only the Bliss of Atma which is inexhaustible.
Strive to attain it. Only through Love of God can you attain
such bliss and develop it into full fruition. The inner
significance of Krishna Tulaa Bhara is to show that all the
wealth of the world with all its gold and diamonds cannot match
God. It is only Divine Love which is equal to Him. Foster such
devotion in your hearts. Most of you have not understood the
principles that Swami embodies, nor can you comprehend.
Understand Sai's Love. You cannot trace any selfishness in any
corner of Sai. Whatever He does, is for your sake. There is
nothing in the world which Sai needs.
Camphor is white as also the celestial cow,
Stars are white and also the wings of swan,
And so is the sweet smile of Beautiful Sai,
Sweeter than sweet juice of sugarcane
Or even the wine is the Love of Sai.
The Love of Sai is more soothing and comforting than
the sight of a beautiful flower or the sweet smile of an
innocent child.
Sai's word can confer all joy, happiness and
prosperity of the world
Sai's look can shower the delight of the rain of the
paarijatha flower
Sai's hand can confer the comfort of a loving mother's
hand.
This alone is for your joy and welfare - the conferrer
of Love.
I expect from you only one thing i.e., you should
transform yourselves into ideal children full of bliss, the very
embodiments of Atma, proving all this to the world by your
behavior and conduct in life. That alone is True Education. All
other types of education are only its limbs and parts.
What happiness did the Demon Somakasura enjoy,
stealing the sacred scriptures and abusing Hari?
What did ten-headed (Ravana) carry with him, seeking the
wife of another person?
By how much did Duryodhana gain by even denying an inch
of space (to Pandavas)?
Could Kamsa, who vengefully and watchfully killed the
innocent children, save himself (from death)?
Even today that would be the fate of people, who are
opposed to Dharma.
What more can I convey to you? Recognizing this truth
carefully behave yourselves on proper path and conduct.
Thus, Sai,
the Resident of your heart.
