Every one of you must ask yourself, ‘What is the purpose I have come for?’ If it is to study, are you following the path and learning sincerely and thoroughly? Never forget the purpose of your existence. Humility is the very core of education, and its the most important aspect. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, a renowned educationist in India grew up amidst many challenges. He lost his father, and his mother raised him with a lot of difficulties. She taught very important lessons to her son. She used to say, “Child, education is not as important as virtues. For the sake of education, do not make the mistake of giving up virtues. In a difficult situation, it is even okay to give up education if it entails compromising on virtues. Good qualities are the most important for any person. Humility is the true ornament of an educated person.”

- Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 1.​
 
Generally, a child learns everything from his/her mother with a mind provoking smile,
while father turns the second teacher. Every teacher desires his/her student to be
an intelligent kid so that his/her future career begins to blossom. While the spiritual
Guru who has a depth knowledge of inner subjects and has a free access to inner life,
inner wisdom, etc desires that his Shisya studies all the inner subjects so that the
disciple attains not only peace of mind but also a sense of satisfaction in learning
spiritual activities. Every Guru who desires his/her disciple to be successful in divine
acts or deeds, concentrates on prayer and meditation initially to start with.
Every devotee has to attain physical consciousness, purity of mind, etc to enter into
divine field which is a vast ocean. A student has to listen and understand the
Guru devotedly, concentrate on the positive side of the teachings, and try
to make considerable progress over a period. Simplicity is the first step
for every desired target. Sincerity, humility, are the few virtues one has to
learn in life while cultivating purity of mind. If one meditates soulfully
on the strength of simplicity, sincerity, humility and purity, the student
gains early access to the divine vision.

When the Goddess of Wisdom, Mother Saraswathi enters our hearts, our faces glow. She is full of Divinity, radiance and knowledge. Hence every educated person who has received Her blessings should always be cheerful. Never put on a ‘castor-oil-face’. Be full of joy. You must also be an embodiment of obedience and humility, with no trace of anger, ego or jealousy. Speak only the Truth and follow righteousness. The castle of righteousness is built upon truth. We often get into trouble only due to our attachments to the body. Your body at some point of time degenerates into a house full of dirt, a basket full of diseases. The body and mind are impermanent. Until you live, firmly believe that body is the temple of God and keep it as clean and pure as possible. When you spend your life with such noble ideas, you will not have any bad thoughts, words or
actions.[/FONT]

Everyone at some point of time, has to go through certain books on religious
beliefs, religious doctrines, religious debates and history, etc. The Supreme
Power manifests Himself in three Avatars such as Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and
Lord Brahma to conduct this Universe and guide all the human beings
whom we call it as Trinity. One has to possess a will power or desire
to know the religious aspects with an intellectual background with emotions
and involvement. A person who is not keen to know or understand
the Trinity may not have a peaceful soul, while a person who tries to
understand the Trinity will get involved and his mind would dwell in it
always. Our Scriptures reveals many salient points and the truth behind
it. Hence one has to read the Scriptures as many times as possible. It is
impossible to become a devotee overnight unless one has keen desire or
interest and involvement, particularly to come to know about the depth of
spiritual aspects and its truths besides to pray, regular worship devotedly
so as to lead spiritual life apart from visiting temples, pravachanams,
bhajans, namasmarana sangeerthanams, etc.

In olden days, in villages, some expert people used to wrap the forehand with a
silk cloth and diagonise the diseases. Those people advise certain principles for
following diet practices daily, besides suggest certain herbs for cold/cough, etc.
Above also, they also suggest certain daily and seasonal routines to be performed.
They teach breathing practices, yogic practices, meditation techniques, etc
Also they create an awareness in everyone to understand the things and
suggest certain divine remedies for getting cured from diseases. For some
diseases they suggest oil massages, rather it is a sacred art. Because of this,
one would be able to streamline the nervous system, control the emotions,
reduce the stress in the mind and balancing the energy of the body. They too
suggest very simple procedures to do every day to get good improvements
in one's health. A human body is Supreme Power's creation and designed
by HIM to live in harmony with every one adopting natural cycles in this
Universe. Attitude of a person is very important and one has to intake food
based on appetite only and not based on desire or ambition. In fact,
eating has to be a pleasurable and satisfying one. Furthermore, it is
very important to get satisfied when one sits down to consume food thanking
the Supreme Power for the food made available.

Truth is that, which does not change with time. A policeman wears his uniform and performs his duty. When you see him, you think that is the truth. After his duty, he goes home and changes to a night-dress. Now too he is a policeman! Though the clothes he wore has changed, his body does not change. Similarly, ‘Dehi’ your indweller, does not undergo any change. Your body is associated with Satvik, Rajasik and Tamasik qualities. Remove them and you will see the divine ‘Brahman’. In a cold hill station, you wear vest, shirt and then a protective coat on top of it. If you want to see your heart (chest), you must remove your coat, shirt and vest; only then you can see your heart. Similarly, the body of a human being is covered with many qualities. When you go beyond these, you will be able to see the Divine in your heart.

One has to possess self-control and steady mind always without any wavering.
Regular meditation makes the mind peaceful and steady besides it creates an
an awareness about the Supreme Power. Suppose if a person practices
Dhyana Yoga consistently, one can easily attain the spiritual qualities. Some
people get their doubts cleared owing to continuous practice of meditation.

One should not build a castle in the air in attaining the divine bliss. One has
to do meditation sincerely and must not allow the mind to wander. If this
Sadhana is done with absolute involvement, one can get spiritual growth
without much hurdle. If one can do meditation daily starting from 15 minutes
or so, one will be able to concentrate oneself with absolute peace of mind
and can gain spiritual strength must faster. Over a period of time, one
will be able to get out of all troubles and worry.

You must be able to get up with the same ease with which you sat to have your food. If you sit down feeling light and feel heavy and difficult to get up after eating, you have taken more than you need and it will develop Tamasik qualities. The space in your stomach is divided into four parts. Youngsters should fill three parts of their stomach with food and remaining one part with water. For adults, two parts of stomach with food, one part for water and one part for air is advisable. If you fill all four parts with food with no place even for water, you are violating the rules for digestion! After having your lunch, rest for just ten minutes. That will help blood to circulate freely from your head to your toe. At night, after dinner, you must go for a walk. This is a sound routine for good health and to develop Satwik nature.

- Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 2.​
 
In some places, one can notice that Neivedhyams are prepared with divine inspiration
and such items if consumed would certainly produce positive vibrations in the
disciples who shares it. Firstly, one should have a clear atmosphere conducive
to the preparation of Neivedhyams to the Supreme Power. One should be calm
and must have a contemplative frame of mind while preparing the Prasadams
thinking to oneself that the prasadams prepared are to attain the blessings of
the Supreme Power and not for the satisfaction of devotees desire. Therefore,
absolute concentration is essential and no one should taste it before offering
to the Supreme Power. The Plate in which the Prasadams are offered should
not be used by anyone for any other purpose. One can offer Agarbathi, then
lamp, etc. with a devotional state of mind chanting Mantras for e.g. Om Namo
Narayana or Om Nama Shivaya, etc. before Neivedhyams are offered. After the
Neivedhyam is offered to the Supreme Power, it gets sanctified. After that
it can be offered to all as prasadam.

All of you have seen a map of the world, is it not? How little is India in this map? Compared to India, Andhra Pradesh is small. The district of Anantapur is still tinier. In this district, Puttaparthi is virtually a microscopic dot on the map. Now you as a person residing in Puttaparthi are practically so insignificant. Then how can you suffer from ego? Remember, God is all around you. There is no meaning at all in being egoistic. You may feel proud that you are educated; there are more educated people than you. You may think you are beautiful; there are any number more beautiful than you. Maybe you are good at singing; there are several who can sing better than you. Why are you then so proud of yourself? This is mere ignorance. Do not give place to ego. Become egoless, give up pomp and show. Be selfless and lead a life that befits an educated person. Always, He lp Ever, Hurt Never.

- Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 1.

There are many methods to come out of one's ego. One can practice dairy
writing daily and notice if there are any good things done. If the good deeds
are only a few and bad ones are many, then one should find out the reason
for it. If it is done regularly, one can gradually reduce the ego and learn
to become more humble in life. In order to eradicate the egoism, firstly one
has to identify the ego tasks one performs whether with intention or unintentionally.
Sometimes circumstances may also make a person to do certain things. if the need
is right and just, then one has to strengthen the power of intention so as to
keep the mind free and that the determined assignment is not an egoistic one.
All that one needs to consider is to fulfill one's assignment without any bad intention.
Unless one disconnects from the egoistic assignments and gets convinced that
the purpose is to spend the energy in the right direction and win the reputation
of elders, then one can get easily relieved from egoism once for all.

The district of Anantapur is still tinier. In this district, Puttaparthi is virtually a microscopic dot on the map. Now you as a person residing in Puttaparthi are practically so insignificant. Then how can you suffer from ego? Remember, God is all around you. There is no meaning at all in being egoistic. You may feel proud that you are educated; there are more educated people than you. You may think you are beautiful; there are any number more beautiful than you. Maybe you are good at singing; there are several who can sing better than you. Why are you then so proud of yourself?

Sai Ram

The word ‘Health’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Helig’ meaning holistic or wholeness of the spirit. You are made up of sense organs, mind, intellect, consciousness and the indwelling spirit. ‘Wholeness’ includes all these elements. Your mind should be in a state of fullness; there should be no room for confusion or depression. To achieve such a state of mind, it is necessary to connect with the Divine and understand the situation. For instance, students should not get depressed if they did not score as well as they expected or perhaps failed in an examination. Instead, they should examine the reasons for the result – whether they studied well or understood the subject correctly. If the conclusion is inadequate preparation, then the resolve should be to do better in the next opportunity. You must develop you r moral and mental strength by practicing Sadhana for disciplining the mind and achieve holistic wellbeing.
 
One has to have self-awareness about his own misjudgments and failings in life
and one has to analyze as to what had happened. Sometimes one has to take
intuitive decisions. Possession of good virtues bring a good morale. One
gains a merit if he/she gives adequate consent to his conscious in choosing a
right path or in perfect submission to the Supreme Power. Supreme Power
is within the reach of all and HE always loves everyone and it is our duty
to perform our ritual rights without any failure to become HIS devotee.
Perseverance in performing the duty will march towards the progress and
one can gain HIS grace. Everyone is indebted to HIM always till one lives on
this Universe. One should have faith in HIM and worship HIM regularly.
It is the worship of the highest and purest virtues bring HIS divine power.

Sai Ram

Balasubramanian

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the Mahabharata, the Kauravas believed in ‘I first, World next and God last’. The Pandavas believed in ‘God first, World next and I last’. The Kauravas took shelter under wealth and prosperity and did not protect themselves properly. The ego of ‘I’ was minimum in the Pandavas and hence they reached an elevated state and took shelter in the Lord. The Pandavas firmly stood for the five qualities of Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Nonviolence. Hence Lord Krishna Himself became the charioteer of Arjuna. Even during the present times, the Pandavas are held high as exalted examples. We also must conduct ourselves just like the Pandavas. We have many qualities like bad thoughts, bad acts and bad attachment. The battlefield of Kurukshetra occurs even today in our hearts – it is the battle between the good and the bad. To emerge as victorious like the Pandavas and attain Him, you must work hard and give up your selfishness.[/FONT]

Baba on Vedas
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][FONT=Arial,Helvetica]
The Veda is the Mother of all the Sastras. The Veda emanated from God Himself as inhalation and exhalation. The great sages, who were the embodiments of the treasure gained by long ascetic practices, received Veda as a series of sounds and spread it over the world by word of mouth from preceptor to pupil. Since it was 'heard' and preserved by generations, the Veda is known as Sruthi, 'that which was heard or listened to.'

The Veda is endless. Who composed the Vedas? Until today, it has not been possible to unveil their names. Those who recited it had perhaps no desire to earn renown, for the names are nowhere seen mentioned in the Veda. May be they had attached no importance to their names, or clans or sects, or it is likely they had no kith or kin or clan. Whoever he or they may be, the sages were sure they were masters of all knowledge, for the sense of equality and equanimity found in the Veda is the innate quality of only such wise persons. So it is very appropriate to infer that the Veda was given to the world only by persons endowed with all powers.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]

The word 'Veda' originated from the root 'Vid', meaning 'to know', "Vidana thu anena ithi Vedah", "That which reveals and makes clear all knowledge is Veda". The Veda can be mastered neither by limited intellect nor by limited experience. The sacred Veda instructs all that one requires for his spiritual advancement. It instructs one the means and methods to overcome all sorrows and grief. It instructs one in all the spiritual disciplines which can give unshaken peace. No one has understood correctly the beginning of the Veda or its end. So, it is hailed as Anaadi (Beginningless) and Sanathana (Eternal). Since the first and the last of the Veda are not known, it is Nitya, Everlasting. The intelligence of humans is tainted but since the Veda has no trace of taint, it is concluded that it cannot be a human product. So the Veda is also characterised as A-pourusheya (Non-personal).[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]

The Veda is its own authority. Each Vedic sound is sacred because it is part of the Veda. Those who have faith in the Veda and its authority can personally experience this. The great sages were enriched by such experiences and they have extolled it as the source of wisdom. These experiences are not bound by time or space. Their validity and value can be recognised not only in India but by people of all lands. They lay down basic truths, it can be asserted.[/FONT]

Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - Sathya Sai Vahini - Eternal Truths
 
SAIRAM


Eight types of flowers can be offered to God, viz,


(1) Ahimsa (Non-violence),

(2) Indhriya Nigraha (Control of senses),

(3) Sarvabhootha Dhaya (Compassion towards all beings),

(4) Sathyam (Truth),

(5) Dhyaanam (Meditation),

(6) Shaanhti (Peace),

(7) Vinaya (Humility),

(8) Bhakthi (Devotion)."

"What is the proper offering to God? It is said, a leaf, a flower, a fruit and water (patram, pushpam, phalam, toyam). What are these? Your body is the leaf; your heart is the flower, your mind is the fruit, and the tears of bliss are the water.

Instead of attaching undue importance to this ephemeral body, emphasize on the Atmatatwa (Atmic principle).
The body is also to be surrendered unto God. How? By acts of worship and other sacred deeds."

"And, what does He ask of us? To start this very moment the discipline needed for the Good Life, the Sadhana to sublimate the impulses and the instincts.

With what offering shall we approach Him? Not even the Pathram, Pushpam, Phalam and Thoyam, hitherto prescribed as the minimum. No. Offer Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema, or at least the effort to attain these four or any one of the four.

Sincerity in the struggle to improve, that is enough. "Offer in the Pathram of the Body, the Manopushpam fragrant with Humility, the Hridayaphalam ripe with Tapas and sweet with the Rasam of Daya, Danam and Damam, and the Thoyam of Tears, welling out of Ananda.

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All food emanated from God. As it has come from the Divine(Brahman), it should be offered to God and only then be taken. Then it becomes Satwik food. There are many impurities associated with the grains and vegetables you purchase. These impurities enter inside you. To remove the various types of defects associated with food, offer it to the Lord and then partake of it as Prasadam. When the food is offered to God (Naivedyam), there will no longer be any defects in it. Meera was a great devotee of Lord Krishna. She always offered everything to the Lord before partaking it. When the Maharana asked his associates to give her very strongly poisoned milk, Meera was unaware of it. As is her habit, she offered the milk to Lord Krishna and took it, and remained unharmed. Thus any type of food, once offered to the Lord will turn nectarous, even if it is poisonous.[/FONT]

[TD][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It is necessary to fill the room where you live or study with a Satwikatmosphere. The pictures or objects you see must be filled with peaceful and loving thoughts. Objects that arouse agitation and bad thoughts should have no place in your living area. The room must be clean and free from anything that is impure. Along with a clean room, your thoughts and feelings must be pure. Only then you can get the full benefit of a clean room and a good family. If you must develop Satwik feelings, your vision must be pure. All creation (srishti) is based upon your sight (drishti). It is only when you have wrong vision that you develop wrong thoughts. With pure thoughts, you will naturally have pure feelings. Never make any mistake or offence that you will not tolerate if others do unto you.[/FONT]
