The jewel in the iron safe: Divine Discourse Delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

The jewel in the iron safe: Divine Discourse Delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba -------------------------------------------------- Good thoughts, good words, good deeds, Listening good, seeing good, being good, These confer good health on human folk. This body is an iron box of paltry worth. But, as in an iron box are kept jewels and gems, Note I, in this paltry box, is kept the Atma Divine, This is the Truth, the Word of Sai. Health is the greatest blessing. Without it, man cannot do even the lightest work. Health is an indispensable requisite for progress in material, moral, political, economic, artistic and spiritual fields of life. Food habits are of primary importance when health has to be secured and maintained. When these are not regulated, health suffers. 'No restraint, no success' is the axiom. Restraint, controls, limits have to be observed at every step. One should restrain the wild adventuresomeness of the tongue. Among the eight millio

32. From the animal to the Divine

WHAT is the reason for the prevalence of  animal  qualities in man even after reaching the human level? It should be noted that it is after passing through many lives in other species of beings that one gets a human birth.  -- Best regards Seetha Ram "Life is a journey. The destination is within oneself."

Women and society

If the women of a country are happy, healthy, and holy, the men of that country will be hardy, honest, and happy. Thyagaraja has sung that even the strongest of heroes are swayed by the wishes of women, so every wom- an has a very crucial role to play in individual and social uplift. Therefore, I would not burden girls with the study of the geographical minutiae of America, Australia, or Germany. I would rather they knew the technique of mental calm, social harmony, service, and economic contentment. Let them develop a dread of falsehood, of sliding into moral error; that is more important than even the development of the dread of God. https://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume01/sss01-16.pdf

Pursue the Path of Truth and Wisdom: Divine Discourse Delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Pursue the Path of Truth and Wisdom: Divine Discourse Delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba -------------------------------------------------- Editor's note: This discourse does not appear in the Sathya Sai Speaks series. It appeared in Sanathana Sarathi, August 2014. Study of the Vedas and scriptures cannot pierce the veil of ignorance that covers the human mind. God is on one side of the veil while the individual soul (jiva) is on the other side. The cause is on one side, the effect on the other.(Telugu poem) God created mountains, rivers, forests, hills and hillocks. Similarly, He created all living beings right from a tiny ant to a huge elephant. He also created all the objects that are necessary for the functioning of the creation. However, He was not satisfied. God created humanity in His own image Having created all this, He wondered who there was in this creation who would derive happiness by seeing the majestic mountains, beautiful rivers and enchanting forests.

Musings on the Auspicious Sankara Jayanti Day (May 6 2022)

Auspicious Sankara Jayanti Day (May 6 2022) On May 6 1992, we celebrated Sankara Jayanti at a hall in the basement of the residence of Mr. Ryuko Hira.   We had arranged a panel discussion on that day in which Professor Hajime Nakamura (famous sanskrit scholar who had interacted with Kanchi Mahaperiyavaa) and Professor Cyril Veliath at Sophia University were panelists. Swami medhasananda of Nippon Vedanta Kyokai (Ramakrishna mission in Japan) was a special guest.   After the program ended Mr Ryuko Hira opened a curtain on the wall and showed me the picture of  Shirdi Sai and  Sathya Sai Baba and  The basement venue is the Prayer Hall that hosts Tokyo Sai Center.    On this auspicious Sankara Jayanthi day, I composed this bhajan- drawing insights from the nectarine six words from the 8th anuvaka of the Rudram — that inspire us to seek His blessings and grace.
