Eternal Paramathman

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 feeling - 

of infatuation that obstructs my way to liberation;

I am that Eternal Paramathman,

who is aware of the power that I Am.

Students!

Accept My Blessings. Received your letters full of fragrant flowers of information and prayerful salutations. 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 battlefield meant to be lived as an ideal of heroism and courage. In the present circumstances, a play with words would be of no use at all. By obtaining mere degrees, we can make neither your motherland glow with glory nor can you blossom forth 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 goodbye to all selfishness and self-interest, making Divine Love as the bow and Wisdom as the arrow, you should shine forth as 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, heros in action, great soldiers in the age of Kali, full of compassion and Divine Love and resolved to make Divinity resound with success in the world.

This is not the time for rest and sleep. The future emergence of a glorious new Bharath is dependent upon 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 to the detriment of the rest of the world. The unity and 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. Do not 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 weaknesses 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 modifications. Make that transcendental Love as your own goal in life.

Do not 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 Bhaara’ 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 a 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 on the world

Sai's look can shower the delight of the

rain of the paarijaatha flower

Sai's Hand can confer the comfort of

a loving mother's hand.

This alone is for your joy and welfare -

the conferer of Love.

I expect from you only one thing, that you should transform yourselves into ideal children full of Bliss, the very embodiments of Atma, proving all this to the world by your behaviour 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 the ten-headed Ravana carry with him, seeking the wife of another person? By how much did Duryodana gain by denying even an inch of space to Pandavas? Could Kamsa, who vengefully and watchfully killed the innocent children of his sister, 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? Recognising this truth, carefully follow the proper path and conduct yourselves accordingly.

Thus,

Sai,

The Resident of your heart.
