Past Sai Messages for the Day
Saturday, March 29, 2025
There is no scope here for envy or malice, hate or competition. When desire and anger are rising in hot flames from the heart, how can the cool rays of peace (shanti), truth (sathya), non-violence (ahimsa) and love (prema) emanate therefrom? This human birth is a rare chance! Use it for spreading joy, not grief.

If your foot slips, you earn a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture someone's faith or joy. That fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester forever. Therefore, use the tongue with great care. The softer you talk, the less you talk, the sweeter you talk, the better for you and the world.

Without Self-confidence, how can one get Self-satisfaction? Lacking Self-satisfaction, how can one hope for Self-realization? This is impossible. Hence, the mansion of Self-realization has to be erected on the foundation of Self-confidence, with the walls of Self-satisfaction and the ceiling of self-sacrifice. Confidence is at the foundation of it all. Live with faith and confidence.

Step by step, you reach the end of the road. One act followed by another leads to a good habit. By listening, you get prodded into action. Resolve to act, to mix only in good company, to read only elevating books, to form the habit of remembering the Lord’s name and, then ignorance will vanish automatically.

You see diversity because of illusion (maya). There exists only unity everywhere, not diversity. It is your illusion that causes diversity. Forget this diversity and contemplate on divinity. You may ascribe any number of names and forms to God, but God is one.

Love is not something that is acquired from outside. It emerges from within. When you develop and expand love, you will be able to realize the truth that all are one.
Sunday, March 23, 2025
Love, truth, peace, and divinity are not different from each other. They are all one. You will be able to realize this truth only when you strengthen the spirit of unity.
Saturday, March 22, 2025
God is love and love is God. With hands, feet, eyes, ears, heads, and mouth pervading everything, God permeates the entire universe. You can connect yourself with God only through love. Develop love and achieve the supreme state of equanimity.
Friday, March 21, 2025
Where is God? God is present within you. Do you ever go in the street and ask others, "Have you seen me?" Try to look within and realize this sacred principle of "I". Where does this "I" come from? It is in you. Without realizing this truth, you search for it outside. It is therefore necessary for every human being to recognize this truth.

Develop equal mindedness towards everything. Do not brood over the past. The joy experienced will be in inverse proportion to your desires. The greater the desires, the less happiness you will experience. Therefore, try constantly to reduce your desires. In the journey of life, as in a railway journey, the less luggage (desires) you carry, the greater comfort you will have.
Wednesday, March 19, 2025
The eternal, immortal, wonderful and blissful principle of divinity is present everywhere. You should make efforts to realize this truth. This is the royal path to attain the goal of life.

The proper study of humanity is the human being. A person is the center of things. And in the person, the mind has to be studied and controlled and regulated. One's thoughts originate in the mind, they express themselves through words and materialize through deeds. These three have to be properly coordinated by the intellect; or else, life becomes a tragedy. The mind has to be trained to develop a taste for the good and the godly; not for money and material gains. Money comes and goes; but morality comes and grows.

People have to sow the seeds of love in their hearts and harvest peace. They should share that peace with all. There is happiness only in the vast, the limitless, the huge; not in the little, the small, the limited. Love leads to expansion; hatred leads to contraction and death. This is the basic teaching of the scriptures of ancient wisdom (Sanathana dharma).
Sunday, March 16, 2025
Prema is the master key which can achieve all. That is why, I say, "Start the day with love; Spend the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love; this is the way to God." On this path, you will not be affected by anger, lust or greed.

Feel your oneness with all, because the same divinity dwells in everyone. Do not hate anyone or any religion. Embark on self-enquiry to acquire self-knowledge. For the refinement of the heart, the first requisite is seeking the company of the good.
Friday, March 14, 2025
Whenever there is a decline in practice of righteousness (dharma) and an upheaval of unrighteousness, I incarnate myself as part of divine will (sankalpa) to protect dharma. I lay aside my formless essence and assume a name and a form suited to the purpose for which I have come. Whenever evil threatens to vanquish good, I must come and save it from decline.

Today, people think that spirituality has no relation to mundane life and vice versa. This is a big mistake. True divinity is a combination of spirituality and social obligations. National unity and social harmony are founded upon spirituality. It is divinity that links spirituality and social existence.

Eschewing ostentation and self-conceit, cultivate selfless love towards all. There must be a limit to one's self-interest. Selfishness carried to extremes leads to disaster. Excessive selfishness can cause loss of friendship and honor and ultimately result in utter ruin.

Human beings, unlike animals, are endowed with a mind which confers the power to enquire into the how and why of things. Humans, therefore, should undertake an enquiry into what is permanent and what is temporary, what is truth and what is false, what is bad and what is good. Only when humans transcend animal tendencies can they become truly human. Then, divinity will manifest in due course. This divinity is inherent in mankind. It is not obtained from outside or from anyone. It has to manifest itself from within. Mankind's inherent quality is divinity. It has to be realized by self-effort.

A clear mirror reflects the rays of the sun. We can see the Sun’s image reflected by the calm surface of clear water. Likewise, the sacred vision of the supreme Self is revealed to an unperturbed and tranquil mind in which all thought waves have been calmed. A pure and holy heart will mirror the divine glory of the supreme Self.
Sunday, March 9, 2025
Divinity is manifest in every living being. The same atmic principle is present not only in human beings but in every living being in the universe. But one has to have a pure and selfless heart to realize this truth. To realize this truth, you must constantly contemplate on God.

Spiritual bliss can be realized only by recognizing that the same spirit dwells in all beings. This realization can be achieved only by spiritual enquiry. Memorizing the verses of the Bhagavad Gita will not rid a man of his sorrow. The transformation must take place within.
Friday, March 7, 2025
The first requisite for achieving supreme bliss is a pure heart. The human heart, which should be white like milk in its purity, is today filled with bad thoughts and feelings. Spiritual practice begins with the purification of the heart and transforming it into an ocean of milk. When the heart is filled with pure (satvic) qualities, it becomes like a milky ocean.
Thursday, March 6, 2025
Purity is the true characteristic of a human being. This purity should be manifested in everything one does: in their thoughts, in what they see or say and in all that they do. It is only when you display such purity that you can become embodiments of the divine Atma.

You are God. God is not separate from you. It is a mistake to consider yourself separate from God. This difference is the result of your deluded vision. When you rectify this defect in your vision, you will realize "I am I".

Devotion aims at awakening consciousness of the divine in man. All activity aimed at turning the mind toward God is a form of devotion. To think of God for attaining worldly desires and physical comforts is not devotion. To envisage and experience the divine Being, Awareness, Bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda) within oneself is the true mark of devotion.
Monday, March 3, 2025
What is spirituality? It is the resolute pursuit of cosmic consciousness. Spirituality aims at enabling people to manifest in all its fullness the divine consciousness (chaitanya) that is present within and outside them. It means getting rid of the animal nature in humans and developing divine tendencies.

People today have lost faith. A person without faith is verily blind. If you do not have faith in others, at least have faith in yourself. Develop faith in yourself and faith in God. This is the secret of greatness. Only then will you be able to experience divinity.
Saturday, March 1, 2025
People consider religion a bundle of doctrines and rigorous do’s and don’ts prescribed for people. This is totally wrong. The sacred aim of religion is to remind humankind of their divine origin and help to lead them back to God.

Even more than devotion and spiritual wisdom, pure attitude is desirable. Those who have acquired it deserve to reach the goal first. This quality of joy at all times is the fruit of the good done in past births. The first task of a spiritual aspirant is the cultivation of enthusiasm. Through enthusiasm, spiritual bliss can be derived.
