Past Sai Messages for the Day
Monday, February 8, 2021
Conquer inner foes; triumph over your ego. That is the Victory for which you deserve congratulations, not the others. That is what I referred to as True Freedom (Swaaraajya).
Sunday, February 7, 2021
Be convinced that there is a God, guiding and guarding us. Remember Him with gratitude. Pray to Him to render you pure. Love all; serve all. Join good company. Visit temples and holy men.

The wrong notion that the world is real and that you are the body has been so deeply implanted in you through birth after birth, that it can be removed only by means of a very potent medicine, administered continuously. The medicine, God's Name (Ram Ram Ram), is to be swallowed and assimilated ad infinitum. Its curative essence will travel into every limb, every sense, every nerve and every drop of blood. Every particle of you will be transmuted into Ram.

Do not grieve, nor be the cause of grief. The very embodiment of Bliss (God) is in you, as in others, as in all else. In spite of a multiplicity of containers, the contained is the same. That is the principle of Being, Awareness, Bliss (Sat, Chit and Ananda). The minutest atom, the mightiest star, both are basically one. All are, in Truth, Brahman, Divine.

Spiritual wisdom cannot be won without a pure mind. He must discover who he is, before he ventures upon the inquiry, "Who is God?" Once he has discovered who he is, there is no need to know who is God, for, both are the same.

However much a man may possess, if he has not cultivated detachment, it is but arid waste. Detachment from sensual pleasures and objective pursuits helps the growth of Love towards God and the Godly.

God is not far from you, or away in some distant place. He is within you, in your own inner altar. Man suffers because he is unable to discover Him there, and draw peace and joy from that discovery. Of course, you have to be in the world, but you need not be of it. The attention has to be fixed on God, the God within. Man must keep the Goal of God-realisation before him, while engaged in the noisy, hilarious procession of life.

This is My message to you this day: Do not exhibit anger or grief or pain. Be happy, spread happiness around you. Sweetness alone is the offering that God likes.
Saturday, January 30, 2021
God will serve you; He will save you and be by your side ever. Only you have to cultivate your character and polish your interior so that He might be reflected therein. Let His Will be done---this should be your guideline.
Friday, January 29, 2021
Become attached to God. Feel His Presence, revel in His Glory. Do not cause Him 'disappointment' or 'distress' by any act or word which He does not approve. Do not give Him the slightest 'bother' or 'worry.'
Thursday, January 28, 2021
Discrimination and detachment are the two assistants of man. Keep them strong and give them full facility, for they help man to live unharmed and joyful.
Wednesday, January 27, 2021
God is not to be spoken of as Coming down or going up, since He is everywhere, available for your becoming aware of Him, through beauty, truth, goodness, strength, love, or any one of the divine attributes.
Tuesday, January 26, 2021
God in human form is the only way in which divinity can be grasped by man. Here and now, it is only as He, that God can be felt and experienced.

By taking to repeating the Name of God and picturing in the mind the glory of God who has that Name, as well as a thousand others, slowly the cataract of the inner eye will disappear and, man can see the God who is in his innermost heart, installed in the altar therein. Resolve now to enter upon this spiritual practise from this moment onwards.

Learn to have single-pointedness (Ekagrata). Through that concentration, it is possible to open the inner eye also, clear and complete, so that man may visualise God.
Saturday, January 23, 2021
So long as you say, 'I am,' there is bound to be fear, but, once you say and feel, 'I am Brahman' (Aham Brahmasmi), you get unconquerable strength.
Friday, January 22, 2021
What profit do I get spending my time in discovering the faults and weakness of others?’ Thus the first spiritual practice (Sadhana) is to search for the faults and weaknesses within yourself, and to strive to correct them and become perfect.
Thursday, January 21, 2021
Love is Divine. Love all, impart your love even to those who lack love. Love is like a mariner’s compass. Wherever you may keep it, it points the way to God. In every action in daily life manifest your love. Divinity will emerge from that love. This is the easiest path to God-realisation.
Wednesday, January 20, 2021
Every bad habit has to be replaced by a good one, no trace of vice must be allowed to persist, the heart must be drained of all egoism. This is the fruit of this pilgrimage that you must acquire. Let this be your resolution.

You yearn to escape the consequences of birth and the aftermath of death. You desire peace and joy; for this, you have to cleanse the mind so effectively that it is eliminated.
Monday, January 18, 2021
Cultivate noble qualities. I shall give you everything. Nay, I shall give Myself to those who cultivate noble qualities and also to those who teach them.

All are equal in society. No distinction can be made as high or low. Whomever you ridicule, it amounts to ridiculing yourself. It is only your reflection that you see in him.
Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, May 2, 2006
Sunday, January 17, 2021
What is the Self?. That is the Atma. When you refer to the "I", that is the Self. Who is this "I"? Is it the body? Or is it the mind? Or the intellect (Buddhi)? Or the Indwelling spirit (Atma)? When you enquire into this question, you realise that the Atma alone is "I".
Saturday, January 16, 2021
What is Jnana, the Supreme Knowledge or Wisdom? It is to know your own true self. That is true knowledge. Self-knowledge is Self-realisation. Constant contemplation on the Self is the means of experiencing the direct vision of God.
Friday, January 15, 2021
The path of love is the noblest. It may not be possible for you to do japa (chanting of God’s Name). You may not be able to make the mind steady in meditation. You may not know the path of yoga. But you can develop love in your heart. The path of love is easy and it is a shortcut.
Thursday, January 14, 2021
Every day you say, shanti (peace) three times! Say it with a pure heart and say it softly. When there is enmity in the heart, chanting Shanti Mantra will be of no use! Chanting it harshly also nullifies the effect of the chant! Words are not important, the feelings within your heart are important. Hence, perform all spiritual practices with purity of heart.
Wednesday, January 13, 2021
What you should also do today is to resolve to tread the path of Gods. Have the resolve to begin remembrance of the Supreme Lord's Name, Ritual Worship, and Divine Service. The day on which you begin these, and thus inaugurate the Superior Path for your intellect, that day is northward turn for you. Do not wait for the almanac to tell you the date.
