Past Sai Messages for the Day
Friday, August 6, 2021
God is Omnipresent. He is the Inner Motivator of every particle in the Universe. To declare that He is amenable only to your style of worship, that He will answer only to the Name that you have learnt to use, is to insult His Omniscience and His Glory. See Him in all, serve Him in all. Revere Him in all. Pray, "Let the whole world prosper, let all mankind be happy." This is the Special Message I give you on this (Guru Poornima) Day.

Cultivate good thoughts. Good thoughts lead to good actions. Good actions lead to good company (Satsanga). Cultivate love. Everything is based on love and love alone. Man is born in love, is sustained in love and ultimately merges in love. Love is the basis of human life.

Service does not mean helping with hands alone. Talk softly and sweetly. Speak good words. That is also a form of service.

Devotion is the water to wash away the dirt (egoism and mineness or possessiveness) of ages and the soap of repetition of God’s name, meditation, and communion (yoga) will help to remove it quicker and more effectively. The slow and the steady will surely win this race.

Three disciplines are essential, to become aware of Divinity in all and in the Avatar. No activity should be taken up with individual aggrandizement in view, intellect and emotion must be directed to the revelation of the Resident in the Heart, Atma. Every act should be done sincerely, with love, with no yearning for acquiring personal profit, fame or benefit. Above all, listen to the Voice of God within.

Embodiments of Love! Let your mind be filled with the radiance of divine love. Acquiring mere textual knowledge is of no avail. What you have studied is only a fraction of the total knowledge. Yet you feel proud about it. Your worldly education is insignificant compared to divine wisdom. You cannot attain God with your education, power and wealth. He is accessible by Love and Love alone. You can experience Him only when you develop Love. Devotion means to Love God wholeheartedly.

Love alone can reveal the Divinity latent in all. Love is God. Live in love. Love lives by giving and forgiving; Self lives by getting and forgetting. Love is selflessness; Selfishness is lovelessness. Do not waste your life pursuing the narrow interests of the self. Love! Love! Become what you truly are, the embodiments of love.

Devotion signifies love. Love for the Divine is the only true love. All other expressions of love are merely attachments of one sort or another. Love is God. Live in love. Start the day with love. Fill the day with love. End the day with love. That is the way to God.

God alone is real. God is truth. The Supreme Lord is love. Meditate on Him as truth, as love. It is possible to realize Him in whatever form you meditate upon. Be always in the good company (Satsang) of His devotees. Through this good company, discrimination and renunciation (Viveka and Vairagya) will be implanted and increased. These will strengthen the spirit and endow you with inner peace. Your mind will then merge in God.

What is meant by meditation? To think of God at all times and under all circumstances is true meditation. You should install God in your heart and discharge your duties with the feeling that God is the basis of everything. Only then can you be called a true devotee. Wherever you go, whatever you may do, recognize the truth that there is only one God and He is all-pervasive.

Start practicing love. That is the correct spiritual practice. Share your love with more and more people. You will experience oneness. Once you start sharing your love with everybody, then the whole world will become one family.

Never use harsh words. You cannot always oblige but you can speak always obligingly. Bodily wounds can be cured by the use of medicines. But the wounds inflicted by the tongue can never be
healed. That is why I repeatedly tell you to cultivate love and talk with love. I never use harsh words even when I appear to be angry. I always speak lovingly. You too will become divine when you cultivate such Divine Love.

In the preliminary stages of spiritual discipline, name, form, and quality all have their part to play in the moulding of the spirit. The guru destroys the illusion and sheds light; his presence is cool and comforting. That is why Guru Poornima, a full-moon day, is allotted for paying due honor to the guru. Moreover, the moon is the presiding deity of the mind, and the full-moon day is the day on which the mind has become fully beneficent.

The term guru means one who dispels the darkness of ignorance. Gu means one who is beyond attributes (gunas), ru implies one who is beyond forms (rupas). This refers only to God. That is why the guru is hailed as Brahma, Vishnu, or Siva. Only God is the true guru. All others are merely teachers, like the teachers of different subjects in a college. Guru is the one who reveals the guri (target) to the disciple. Guri (target) here refers to the Atmic Principle.

In this world, which is impermanent and ever transforming, the Immanent Power of the Lord is the only permanent and fixed entity. In order to realize the eternal and the true, one has perforce to attach oneself to that Source and Sustenance.

Everything is the reflection of your inner being. You are the embodiment of Brahman. Consider yourself as Brahman. Always live in the constant awareness, “I am Brahman, I am Brahman.” When you develop this awareness, you will become Brahman.
Wednesday, July 21, 2021
All of you want bliss. If you follow Me, you will be always in a state of bliss. In fact, bliss is in you, with you, around you, above you, and below you. You are the embodiment of bliss.

All that we see in the visible world is nothing but Brahman. But people, out of ignorance, think, “Where is Brahman, and where are we! We are ordinary mortals, whereas Brahman is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.” It is a mistake to say so. You are verily the omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient Brahman.

The essence of all religions, all teachings and spiritual paths is only one thing: Love. Develop that Divine Love. Above all, whatever your difficulties, whatever the ordeals you have to undergo, in any situation, do not give up God. God is One.

The real watch is when you keep a WATCH on your Words, Actions, Thoughts, Character and Heart, not the one you tie to your wrist. The wristwatch may go for repair, but the word ‘watch’ will never get spoiled. It will always bring purity of thought, word and deed.

The power of love alone confers true strength. All other powers are of no avail. Hence the only strength we should seek from God is the strength of love. With that strength all the powers can be acquired.

Have firm faith in the reality of God's existence. You have to show your gratitude to God for the benefits showered on you. Consider, for instance, how the Divine has filled the atmosphere with life-giving oxygen to enable you to live. Who is it that is providing this air, this water and this illumination? You must show your gratitude with humility and sincerity to whoever has done you any good.
Thursday, July 15, 2021
Your studies, your conduct, your actions, all that you see, hear and think, all these should be regarded as offerings to the Divine. This is the true meaning of surrender / taking refuge in the Divine (Sharanagathi). All that is seen, heard or experienced should be considered as intimations of the Divine.
Wednesday, July 14, 2021
Love is eternal. You are the embodiment of Love. You are the embodiment of Peace. You are the embodiment of Truth. You are the embodiment of God. It is only when this supreme truth is realized, and our life is based on it, that our Love can make our life meaningful and enable us to comprehend the world.

You are not one person but three. The one, you think you are, the one others think you are and the one you really are. You think of yourself as your body and its sense cravings, others think of you as a personality. You are truly infinite spirit Divine. You should constantly remind yourself, "I am God" "I am God." "I am God." The day you see yourself as God, you become God.
Monday, July 12, 2021
Perform all your actions with purity of heart. Actions performed without a pure heart are futile. Even if a little work is done with a pure heart, it becomes fruitful.
Sunday, July 11, 2021
The bliss that can be derived from surrendering to God cannot be got through any other means. Regard whatever happens to you as something intended for your good.

Live in love. Love is life. Without loving or being loved, no being can exist on the earth. Love sustains. Love strengthens. Love is the urge behind all adventure, all sacrifice, all success.
Friday, July 9, 2021
Everything is based on love and love alone. The human being is born in love, is sustained in love and ultimately merges in love. Love is the basis of human life.

Spend the years of life, the wherewithal you earn or possess, in the service of others who are in distress. Love grows on such service. Service is the sincerest form of adoration of God.
