Three Maha Mantras

There are three Maha Mantras (supreme maxims) which should be ever remembered: Have Love for God; fear sin; observe morality in society. Only that person who practices these maxims strictly can be called a true human being. Every worker in the Sathya Sai Organisation should endeavour sincerely and sanctify his or her life. This should be verily one’s goal of life. This is the New Year message to you, with My blessings.

Man seeks joy endlessly, and he does anything for the sake of experiencing joy. But where is that joy? It is inherent in man. Not realizing this truth, he is seeking it in external objects. This is ignorance. None of these will satisfy a spiritual follower. Do not hanker after power, position or wealth. Engage yourself in selfless service and adhere to Truth.

Different people call God by different names. But God is one only. When you stand before a mirror, you will see your reflection. But when the mirror is removed, only your reflection is removed. World is the reflection of God. God is present in everyone.

It is selfless service which leads man to God. The purpose of life’s journey is to realize God. Do not waste your time. Engage yourselves in Sadhana (spiritual exercises) to reach the goal. Do not waste valuable human life in the paltry pleasures.

Whatever obstacles you may face and whatever may happen to your body, do not deviate from the quest for the Divinity. That is the purpose for which you are endowed with illumined intelligence. to spend life on pursuing ephemeral worldly objects is to descend to the level of animals. You must endeavour to rise to the sublime level of the Divine. This is your high destiny.

With Love and Blessings,
