Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - September 11, 2023
Narration
Translated
For normal householders with worldly and spiritual objectives, which is the best path in the God-quest? Our Loving Lord reveals and inspires us today.
Winning perfect security from the Lord requires following the path of full devotion, dedicating oneself to the Lord. It cannot be obtained by any other means. The path of spiritual wisdom (jnana) is possible only for one in a million; it is beyond the reach of all. Is it possible to negate the body and the objective world, so patent to the senses, by repeating “Not this, not this (neti, neti)”? Unless this is possible, how can the “Not this, not this” argument be applied? Under present conditions, the path of wisdom is indeed very difficult. The path of selfless activity is also not quite so feasible. It is also full of difficulties. To work in the proper spirit, love and devotion are essential for success. The path of yoga or communion also bristles with obstacles. Thus, the path of devotion is the smoothest, the most conducive to success, and the most bliss-yielding.
- Ch 9, Prasanthi Vahini.

The path of devotion and dedication, the bhakti marga, is easiest for most. It is attainable by love, for love leads you quickly to the Goal. - BABA
