Past Sai Messages for the Day
Friday, April 9, 2021
Sanctify your days by thoughts that are sacred, words that are suffused with love and deeds that are in accordance with the Grace you have won this day. Alert yourselves, whenever you are prone to deviate from this responsibility. Be ever vigilant that you do not stray or weaken or vacillate.

Your mind and your heart are not fully in Me and so, the surrender is only in name.As a sign of this deed of surrender and in order to sustain it, nothing more is enjoined than constant remembrance of the Name. No regimen of exhausting spiritual discipline is prescribed. Constant remembrance of Divine Name is enough.

Jesus was honoured by the populace as Christ, for they found in his thoughts, words and deeds, no trace of ego. He had no envy or hatred, and was full of love and charity, humility and sympathy.

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.

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.

When you become all-embracing infinite Love, the Divine will manifest in and through you. Try to be like Jesus. Jesus was a person whose only joy was in spreading Divine Love, offering Divine Love, receiving Divine Love and living on Divine Love.

Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. When they asked Him why He was doing so, Jesus answered: “I am washing your feet as your servant, so that you may learn to serve the world."
Friday, April 2, 2021
Jesus knew that God Wills all. So, even on the cross, when He suffered agony, He bore no ill-will towards any one and He exhorted those with Him to treat all as instruments of His Will. "All are one; be alike to everyone." Practise this attitude in your daily lives.

There are many spiritual aspirants who enjoy perfect calmness and equanimity while sitting in meditation. But, once they rise and come out into the open, they behave like demons. The Gita says: "Be in Yoga, always." Be immersed in love, with no trace of pride or envy. This is the highest spiritual practice.

When the illusory nature of the objects is revealed, the attachment falls off and he is free. These attachments persuade him to tarnish the acts of worship also; for, he prays to God for granting him trivial boons. Pray to God for God.
Tuesday, March 30, 2021
One can talk loud and long on liberation and of its being the final goal; but, he does not know that he 'is already free; he imagines himself as bound and behaves as such. Attachments to illusory objects bind him.
Monday, March 29, 2021
To eliminate the ego, strengthen the belief that all objects belong to God, and that you are holding them on trust. This would prevent pride; it is also the truth. Then, when you lose a thing, you would not grieve. God gave; God took away.
Sunday, March 28, 2021
The main point to be attended to is the elimination of the ego, the elimination of the identification with the body and its needs, satisfiable through the senses. For, you get joy when these needs are fulfilled; grief when they are not, anger when something comes in the way, pride when you win over that opposition.
Saturday, March 27, 2021
The flames of anger, pride, hatred, envy are more devastating than other fires; they arise in the mind stealthily and in spurts; they are ever demanding more and more to feed upon. Fire is called anala in the Geetha, for anala means, "not enough!" Fire never says, "Enough" or "I am satisfied."
Friday, March 26, 2021
All the joy you crave for is in you; but, like a man who has vast riches in the iron chest, but, who has no idea where the key is, you suffer. With proper directions, dwelling upon them in the silence of meditation, it is possible to secure the key, open the chest and be rich in joy.
Thursday, March 25, 2021
Bring devotion and lay it here and take from here spiritual strength! The more such business is done, the more pleased am I. Bring what you have, namely, your sorrows and griefs, worries, and anxieties, and take from Me joy and peace, courage and confidence.
Wednesday, March 24, 2021
Never accept anything ‘free’ from others; pay it back, in service or work. That will make you self-respecting individuals. Receiving a favour means getting bound to the giver. Grow with self-respect and dignity. That is the best service you can do to yourself.
Tuesday, March 23, 2021
The Lord is a Mountain of Love (Prema); any number of ants carrying away particles of sweetness cannot exhaust His Plenty. He is an Ocean of Mercy without a limiting shore. Devotion is the easiest way to win His Grace and also to realize that He pervades everything — in fact, is everything! Total surrender, leaving everything to His Will, is the highest form of devotion.

Whatever other things they may possess, men suffer from lack of peace and bliss. These two can be got only from God. It is for these two that men should pray to God and not for anything else, because God alone can give them. When these are secured, all other things will come of their own accord by the grace of God. People should yearn for God. All other desires are worthless.
Sunday, March 21, 2021
Try to understand my doctrine of Love. I often address you as "embodiments of the Divine Self". You will be true embodiments of the Divine only when you develop divine love. The only being worthy of love in this world is God. All others are only objects of transient attachment.
Saturday, March 20, 2021
Spiritual practices must make you calm, unruffled, poised, balanced. Make the mind as cool and comforting as moonlight, for the Moon is the Deity holding sway over the Mind. Be calm in speech, and in your response to malice, caviling and praise. You complain that others are disturbing your equanimity; but, you do not know that though your tongue does not speak, your thoughts can unsettle the equanimity of those around you.
Friday, March 19, 2021
You may say that progress is possible only through My Grace; but, though My Heart is soft as butter, it melts only when there is some warmth in your prayer. Unless you make some disciplined effort, some spiritual practice, Grace cannot descend on you. The yearning, the agony of unfulfilled aim melts My Heart. That is the anguish that wins Grace.

The body is the chariot; intelligence (Buddhi) is the charioteer; desires are the roads through which it is drawn by the rope of sensual attachments; liberation (Moksha) is the goal; the Divine is the Master in the chariot.
Wednesday, March 17, 2021
God will grant you what you need and deserve; there is no need to ask, no reason to grumble, Be content. Nothing can happen against His will.
Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Detachment, Faith and Love, these are the pillars on which Peace rests. Of these, faith is crucial. For without it, spiritual practice is an empty rite. Detachment alone can make spiritual practice effective, and Love leads quickly to God.
Monday, March 15, 2021
Strive to acquire Grace; Grace is the reward for spiritual practice; the highest spiritual discipline is to follow the instructions of the Master.
Sunday, March 14, 2021
Pay any price to acquire the company of the good. The company of the good takes you near to God. Spiritual practice makes you dear to the Lord. When you are near and dear you become one with God. When you have realised God, you have secured everything. Without God, everything else is valueless.
Saturday, March 13, 2021
The body has been described as the temple of God. You must fill yourself with the feeling that God is in you, beside you, around you, and with you wherever you go. When you love God with this consciousness, the love results in Self-realisation.
Friday, March 12, 2021
I am giving you three maxims which you have to bear in mind: "Seva, Seva, Seva." Never forget the duty to serve. For this you have to develop love. To develop love, you have to promote the spirit of sacrifice. Service will become meaningful when it manifests love that issues from sacrifice. Consider service as conducive to your own spiritual development. "Be good, do good."

The mind has to be killed so that illusion (Maya) may be rent asunder and the reality revealed. Every day during the dark half of the month, the moon, and symbolically its counterpart in man, the mind, wane, and a fraction is diminished; its power declines. Finally, on the fourteenth night, there is just a wee bit left, that is all. If a little extra effort is made that day by the spiritual aspirant, even that bit can be wiped off and mastery of the mind completed.
