In truth you cannot understand the nature of My Reality, either today, or even after a thousand years of steady austerity or ardent inquiry, even if all mankind joins in that effort.
Sathya Sai BabaIn the beginning you can think, "The world is like a stage. I am only an actor. God is the director. All are His instruments, all are just acยญtors. He is directing everything." But do not always remain at that level. Move on. Think, "I am the unยญchanging Atma, not this changing personality and body."
Sathya Sai BabaThe body is just a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. Do not follow either the body or the mind. Follow the Conscience. It is above the mind. It is permanent. It is the voice of God, the voice of unchanging truth inside you.
Sathya Sai BabaMan's sense of values is so degraded that he does not revere the Geetha, as much as he values and scans the pages of the daily newspaper. This is to be attributed to sheer ignorance and perversity, or pitiable fate.
Sathya Sai BabaHuman love is mostly selfishness; all the time it thinks only of the little 'i'. That 'i' is the ego.
Sathya Sai BabaAt the present moment, in the prevailing situation, what is most essential is the cultivation of love. Losing love mankind has lost its humanness. Love is the Supreme human value. Truth, righteousness, peace and non-violence are other human values. Knowing these values, men are foolishly leading valueless lives.
