Past Sai Messages for the Day
Monday, February 2, 2026
The eyes, the ears and other sense organs should be used only to perceive sacred things. They should not be used indiscriminately to enjoy whatever pleases them. This is the reason why Swami advises people not to see evil, speak evil, or hear evil, but to see what is good, hear what is sacred, and speak what is good.

With love and faith in Swami, you can accomplish any task you undertake. Observe three maxims: Love of God; Fear of Sin; Morality in Society. To develop love of God you must see whether every act of yours pleases God or not. When you please God, you will have no fear of sin. When these two are present, morality in society will follow naturally.

What is spiritual wisdom (jnana)? It is to know your own true Self. That is true knowledge. Self-knowledge is Self-realization. Constant contemplation on the Self is the means of experiencing the direct vision of God.

All the accomplishments and acquisitions in this world are transient and impermanent. Lured by them, people get inflated and ultimately ruined. Hence, giving up the notion of one's own doership, man must regard God alone as the doer. He is the giver, He is the recipient, and He is also the object that is given.

All things happen according to the dictates of time. Both good and bad depend on time. Prosperity and poverty likewise depend on time; time is the determinant of all things. There is none who is not subject to time in this entire world. Time is the embodiment of God.

Renounce the feeling of attachment and feel the presence of the Lord everywhere. Welcome the spiritual bliss (ananda) that the Lord, as the embodiment of spiritual bliss, confers on you and experience it with thankfulness and without being bound by desire. This is the message of the sages and seers (rishis).

Let God work through you, and there will be no more duty. Let God shine forth. Let God show Himself. Live God, Eat God, Drink God, Breathe God. Realize this Truth, and the other things will take care of themselves.

You are three - the one you think you are, the one others think you are and the one you really are. You think you are the body, others think you are the mind, while you really are divine (Atma).

Perform all acts with as much love as you would offer God. In truth, you eat for the satisfaction of the 'I' in you and dress up to please the self-same 'I.' The husband loves his wife for the sake of the 'I' and the wife adores her husband for pleasing her 'I.' And who is this 'I' that is persistently inherent in everyone? It is God Himself as according to Gita, the Lord resides in the heart of every being.

Do not offend or harm anyone, that is true adoration of God; for, in truth, the other is you yourself. Awareness of this Truth is liberation (moksha). Share your joy, your wealth, and your knowledge with others who are less fortunate; that is the surest means of earning Divine Grace.

One should have single-minded devotion towards God. Your faith should be total and unconditional. If your faith is unsteady, with "bumps and jumps", you will be confused and will become restless. Keep your desires under control. Limitless desires will take you away from divinity. Annihilation of desires will lead you to the principle of unity. You should develop virtues and lead a good life.

The holy festival of Sankranthi signifies change or transformation of the heart. It is experiencing bliss arising out of the realization of the changeless, eternal principle. Divinity is the only principle that is changeless. God is ever blissful. In fact, He is the Embodiment of bliss.

Today is called Sankranthi, the day when the Sun starts on its northward journey by entering the Makara sign of the Zodiac. Samyak Kranthi ithi Sankranthi ("change for the good is Sankranthi"). We must transform ourselves completely. Sankranthi reveals not only the beauty of Nature but the resplendent beauty of the divine. The Divine will not consider your status or position, your pomp and your show. It is beyond the reach of knowledge and intelligence. It can be secured only by pure love (prema).

Uttarayana (northward movement of Sun), an auspicious time starting on Makara Sankranthi is a holy occasion to pray to the Lord, as the Vedas instruct:
Lead me from unreal to Real;
Lead me from darkness to Light;
Lead me from death to Immortality.

God who is the origin and the goal can be cognized only by pure consciousness, after cleansing the mind. And, to cleanse the consciousness, one must start early.

God is not calling you as His devotee. It is not enough if you style yourself a devotee of God. God should hail you as His devotee. It is only when your devotion is acknowledged by the Lord that you can call yourself a devotee. If you have not received the acknowledgement, it may mean that you have given the wrong address in your devotion. The correct address of the Lord is the Indweller in the Heart (hridayavasi). This means that you must continue with your devotion to God until your own conscience is satisfied.

Time moves fast like a whirlwind. Each one's life span is getting reduced every moment, like a melting block of ice. Time passes even before man realizes his duties in life. The human body is not easily acquired. Man should not waste his precious human birth without realizing its primary purpose. It is the duty of every man to realize the purpose of life and utilize his time in the performance of his duties to sanctify his existence.
