The tree can teach you forbearance and tolerance. It offers shade to all, irrespective of age, sex or religion, nationality or status. It helps with fruit and shade even to the foe who lays his axe on its trunk! The dog can teach you a lesson in Faith, Self-less service and the process of Dedication.
Sathya Sai BabaYou are the Atma. You are permanent. The physical is not permanent. The physical is not the Atma.
Sathya Sai BabaVirtue is the fragrance of the flowers which the tree of life puts forth. Educated people must be identified in society by their strict adherence to virtue, not by more skilled methods of escaping the consequences of vice.
Sathya Sai BabaForgiveness is Truth itself. It is Righteousness, it is the Veda. It is the supreme virtue in this world.
