  QUOTATIONS FROM BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

SATYAM, SIVAM, SUNDRAM



GOD, THE ONLY REFUGE.
(Divine Discourse on 26.9.1998)

One may master all knowledge and
Vanquish one's adversaries in argumentation
One may be mighty to fight with valour and courage in the battlefield
One may be an emperor reigning over vast kingdoms
One may offer cows and gold as an act of charity
One may count the countless stars in the sky
One may tell the names of different living creatures on the earth
One may be an expert in the eight forms of yoga
One may reach even the moon
But it is impossible to control the body and senses
Turn the vision inward and achieve the supreme state of
Equanimity of mind.





LOVE IS GOD; LIVE IN LOVE
(Divine Discourse on 27.9.1998)

Just as dogs bark at mighty elephants
Some people may heckle the noble souls.
Neither the elephant nor the noble souls
Suffer any loss on this account.




GOD IS OUR EVERYTHING
(Divine Discourse on 28.9.1998)

Even a millionaire has to be content with ordinary food.
He cannot live on a diet of gold.
When time is not favourable, a stick may turn into a snake,
While, when it is favourable, dust may turn into gold,
The wheel of time can turn a scholar into a fool and
a fool into a saint.
A wealthy man may become a plaything of adversity at
some time.
Whatever your efforts may be, you cannot get what you
are not destined to get.
O man, don't be over ambitious
Lead instead a noble life making proper use of the intellect.




START THE DAY WITH LOVE
FILL THE DAY WITH LOVE
SPEND THE DAY WITH LOVE
THIS IS THE WAY TO GOD.




"MY LIFE IS MY MESSAGE"
(Divine Discourse on 29.9.1998)

If man loses money, he can get it back, if he
loses a friend he can get another; if he loses
his wife, even then he can re-marry and have
another wife; if he loses his share of land, he
can get another, but he cannot get back the body
once it is lost.




"SEE NO EVIL, SEE WHAT IS GOOD
HEAR NO EVIL, HEAR WHAT IS GOOD
TALK NO EVIL, TALK WHAT IS GOOD
THINK NO EVIL, THINK WHAT IS GOOD
DO NO EVIL, DO WHAT IS GOOD
THIS IS THE WAY TO GOD."



You should give up worldly feelings and worldly thoughts and develop full faith in the principle of unity.
" Countries are many, but earth is one;
Stars are many, but sky is one;
Jewels are many, but gold is one;
Cows are many, but milk is one."
