Virtue is the panacea for both body and mind. The virtuous person can be both healthy and happy. How is virtue to be cultivated? How can it express itself in daily practice? Through service to living beings, through seva. Virtue must flow through the triple channel of love, mercy and detachment, in order to feed the roots of seva.
Sathya Sai BabaDo not think about the body. The body comes and goes; for it there is birth and there is death. But you are not the body. Body is just rust and dust. Think only of God. Love God.
Sathya Sai BabaAll spiritual practice must be directed to the removal of the husk and the revelation of the kernel.
Sathya Sai BabaGive up all bad qualities in you, banish the ego and develop the spirit of surrender. You will then experience Bliss.
Sathya Sai BabaPractise any one of the human values. Prema (love) is the basis for all the values. Action with love is right conduct. Speak with love and it becomes truth. Thinking with love results in peace. Understanding with love leads to non-violence. For everything love is primary. Where there is love there is no place for hatred.
