Character Is The Goal Of Education: Divine Discourse Delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba -------------------------------------------------- Students, Boys and Girls! The present Vice Chancellor, the former Vice Chancellor, the Secretary of the Central Trust, and two other students have made excellent speeches in beautiful vocabulary. In this vast world, wherever you see, you find most wonderful and joyful events that awaken your inner being and fill your heart with immense bliss. Our students also have developed great skill, intelligence, and expertise in the fields of sports, games, and music and demonstrated their talents giving joy to one and all. Whatever the activity they undertake, they do it to please Swami and not for temporary happiness. Right from the time of birth, all activities of man are centred around the process of learning and acquiring wisdom. It is absolutely necessary to teach the spirit of idealism to our students so that they fill their hea

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 15, 2023 The Atma is "unbound" at first; but later it is seen as limited and restricted. Through good deeds and activities, it resumes its vastness and boundlessness. Everyone, without any difference, has the opportunity to achieve this transformation. Excerpt From Sathya Sai Baba. "Sathya Sai Vahini." Sri Sathya

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 15, 2023 The word Hell (naraka) cannot be found in the Vedas. The conception of Hell is foreign to the spiritual thought of the Indians (Bharathiyas). The idea of Hell and the various descriptions of Hell are all later additions in the scriptures (sastras) and ancient tales (Puranas). The authors of these texts believed that religion would be incomplete if it did not posit Hell. They laid down diverse tortures as part of Hell, but they laid down one limitation to the pain Hell inflicts. They declared that t

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 11, 2023 In no other country, among no other peoples, have such ancient teachings seen the light. There may be some misty ideas or brief glimpses, but they do not deserve the name "spiritual text" or "literature". The Vedic literature pictures not only spiritual inquiries by the sages and spiritual aspirants and their results but also their lines of thought, their yearnings and aspirations, their secular struggles and temporal problems.

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 11, 2023 We will find it impossible to love God or adore Him unless we meditate on some form; this is as essential as breathing is for sheer living. This is a necessary stage in the process of living. One has to accept it as such. Childhood is the father of old age. Can old age condemn childhood or teenage as evil? To experience the divine Principle, idol worship is and has been a great help to many. How then can the aspirant and the practitioner of spiritual disciplines condemn idol worship after passing t

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 11, 2023 The Vedas took form only to demonstrate and emphasize the existence of God. The Indians who attained the highest goal of spiritual exercise have all traveled along the Vedic path and carried on their investigations according to Vedic teachings. The scriptures (sastras) contain authentic versions of their experiences and the bliss they won. In the scriptures, and in the Upanishads, they assert, "We had the awareness of the Atma."

NOTES FROM Sathya Sai Vahini Sathya Sai Baba July 11, 2023 The Vedas do not teach acceptance of a bundle of frightfully hard rules and restrictions; they do not hold before one a prison house where one is shut in by the bars of cause and effect.
