2006: The Divine Healer

 

 

Service To Society Is Service To God

 

Man is not able to realise the value of humanness and is deluded by the sight of ephemeral and transitory objects of the world. The basis of man’s life is not the transitory and ephemeral world. His life on earth is a synthesis of moral, ethical and spiritual values. Man, in fact, is the image of divinity.

 

 

Your life is full of ambitions and desires. You have to enquire whether you are making appropriate efforts to attain fulfilment in life. First search your heart to know what your thoughts and feelings are – whether they are pure, steady and selfless or are they tainted with desires. Desires are like luggage which is a heavy burden in the journey of life. Less luggage more comfort makes travel a pleasure. Therefore, gradually reduce your desires. If you have less luggage, you will be more peaceful.

 

Society is your own reflection. Therefore, do not distance yourself from society. Keep yourself always engaged in the service of society.

 

First is the body. Next come the senses. Higher than the senses is the mind, and the intellect is higher than the mind. The atma is the highest. When you understand and contemplate on the principle of the atma, you will be free from all suffering and bondage. It is the perversion of the mind that is the cause of all your sufferings and bondages.

 

Stones are hurled only on a fruit-laden tree. Like a fruit-bearing tree, all noble people are subjected to many ordeals and difficulties. But when one firmly adheres to truth, nothing can shake one. Let any number of people fight against truth; they can never win. Therefore, hold on to truth firmly, come what may. One who stands by truth is bound to be victorious. Therefore, never give up truth.

 

Swami narrated his childhood days in this discourse. He also discussed the false propaganda in UK. He said, “It is not possible for anyone to defame Swami. Everybody has to surrender to Swami’s love one day or the other.”

 

The sequence among the five Human Values

 

Truth is unshakable. There is no Dharma greater than adherence to truth. It is Dharma that leads man to peace. Without peace man cannot live. When you attain peace, you will experience love and bliss. Truth is the origin of bliss. Non-violence also emerges from truth. A man of love will not entertain even a thought of violence. Sathya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Santi (peace), Prema (love) and Ahimsa (non-violence) are like the five life-breaths of man.

 

The need of the hour is to develop these human values. Only when these values are developed can there be peace in the country.

 

Body attachment is a big bondage. Once you surrender your body to God, your wayward senses will also lose their power and you will be free from bondage. There may be some ups and downs in life, but once you have surrendered to God, nothing will disturb you.

 

Spread the divine Name of Sai to every nook and corner of the world. That will lead manifestation of divinity within everyone. The closer you come to Swami, the divinity within you will become more pronounced. Then your life will be sanctified.
