The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do.
Sathya Sai BabaWe do meditation, spiritual practices in this temporary body. Though this body is temporary, you have to use temporary things to realize the Truth.
Sathya Sai BabaThe fear and anxiety that infect humanity today are the results of this degradation of values, this ignorance of what is of significance and what is not, this want of faith in what the elders and sages have handed down as the wisdom of ages. People prefer what is pleasing to what is beneficial.
Sathya Sai BabaWhat do we lose by another's good fortune? Let us celebrate with them, or strive to emulate them. That should be our desire and determination.
Sathya Sai BabaYou are seeking joy and peace in far-off places. But the spring of joy is in your heart. The haven of peace is in yourself.
Sathya Sai BabaOn previous occasions when God incarnated on earth, the bliss of recognising Him in the incarnation was vouchsafed only after the physical embodiment had left the world, in spite of plenty of evidences of His Grace. But, ponder a moment on this Sathya Sai Manifestation; in this age of rampant materialism, aggressive disbelief and irreverence, what is it that brings to It the adoration of millions from all over the world? You will be convinced that the basic reason for this is the fact that this is the Supra-worldly Divinity in Human Form.
