Thought of the day

God's happiness lies in the happiness of all. God does not need anything special for Himself. If you are truly happy, God will be happy. Whatever you do, let it be for the peace, welfare and happiness of all beings. God will surely bestow happiness upon you by correcting and forgiving your faults. You must live in unity and love. You have learnt that there are Panchapranas (Five Vital Airs) within every living being, i.e., Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana and Samana. In reality, the Panchapranas are nothing but Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-Violence. Where there is truth, there will be righteousness. Where there is righteousness, there will be peace. Where there is peace, there will be love. Where truth and love coexist, everything else will be added unto that person.

You will always find happiness in unity, never in diversity. - BABA
 
Paramatma (Supreme Divinity) has six chief characteristics: Supreme wisdom, complete renunciation, divine beauty, the fullest splendour of power, undiminished fame, and inexhaustible fortune. Its nature is Sat (existence), Chit (knowledge) and Ananda (bliss). These qualities are related to everyone through the Atma. So all of you have the right to realize and enjoy these characteristics and this exalted nature. It is your ordained duty. The travails of the world today are due to humanity not performing this prescribed task.

God is Love. Love is God. - BABA

Dear Sri Nachi Naga,

I humbly request you to avoid commending controversial figures in this thread.

Warm Regards,
Iyer
 
It is important that you should not become a victim of the six inner enemies, which are Kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attachment), Mada (pride) and Matsarya (jealousy). Then, you can experience peace and love. Everyone should perform their duties meticulously and adhere to Dharma (the right code of conduct). Even an ant follows its Dharma. Wherever it finds food, it carries it to its place and consumes it. It does not harm anybody, nor does it steal anything from anyone. All the birds and animals follow their natural Dharma and conduct themselves accordingly. The path of Dharma is fundamental for all, right from a cheema (ant) to Brahma (the Creator). The sa me principle of Truth is present in both.

Be good, See good and Do good. This is the way to God. - BABA
 
What is the significance of the statement: God is the Upadanakarana (the proximate cause of the Cosmos)? ‘Proximate cause’ means the cause that produced the effect. The ‘effect’ is the ‘cause’ in another form. It cannot be separate from the cause. Every effect that we notice is but the cause that has assumed a new form. The Cosmos is the effect, God is the cause — these statements only stress the fact that the Cosmos is but God in another form. It may be doubted whether all this multiplicity of things and beings is really God? Yes! That is the truth. All that the senses cognize, all that we are aware of, are God. There is nothing else but He. Our bodies, minds, intellects, consciousness—all are God's.
- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 9, "One with the One".

There is only one God, He is Omnipresent. - BABA
 
You must control your mind. Proper enquiry into the mind and purity of heart are very essential. Offer your mind to God. God will do everything for you. Discharge your duty earnestly with devotion to God. Cultivate the firm faith that God is everywhere. Do not doubt that God is here but not there. God is present wherever you search for Him. He permeates the entire universe. Most people are not able to recognize this truth. God is present in all beings, be it a small insect like an ant or a big animal like an elephant. He is present alike in a grain of sand and in a particle of sugar.

God is Love; Live in Love. - BABA
 
Good and bad co-exist. It is not possible for anyone to separate them. When you cultivate virtues, the bad in you will become absolutely insignificant. There is no need to use any force to drive away negative qualities. When you forget bad, goodness will develop in you in full measure. Do not think that the New Year will give you some new results. Whatever good or bad you experience is the effect of your thoughts, words, and actions. When any bad thought comes into your mind, give it up immediately. If you conduct yourself in this manner, you will become a true devotee of God and achieve liberation. This is the message I would like to give you on this sacred day.

See God, Be Good, Do Good. This is the way to God. - BABA
 
Very often, people act quite contrary to the dictates of their Dharma. People do not follow the path laid down by the scriptures. Truth is the holiest of all virtues. But many do not have an iota of truthfulness in them. People lose courage at the slightest upset and give up the adventure of life. They develop a kind of pseudo-renunciation. If only they would lead their life with the attitude of performing their duty, there would be no need for them to run away to caves and forests for escape. You can realize the Lord in the assignment of your duty, in your own Dharmic life, no matter what you do.

Duty is God. - Baba
 
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The contemplation of God must proceed in conjunction with leading a Dharmic life. This type of life has no need for status, scholarship, or vanity; for they only lead people astray. It is only when the mind and the intellect are controlled, the knowledge of the Self (Atma Vidya) will dawn on you, and your soul will experience Divinity. [/FONT]

- Dhyana Vahini, Chap 5, Cultivate the Blissful Atmic Expereience.​
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tender hearts, holy thoughts, loving speech – these invoke Divinity. - Baba [/FONT]
