Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 31, 2023
Narration

Original
As we prepare to welcome another New Year, what must we look to fill this year with? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
The New Year has to be sanctified by sacred thoughts and broad feelings. Today, humanity is stricken with fear and restlessness. Courage and strength are on the decline because you have unsacred thoughts and wicked feelings. Your enemies are not outside. Your bad thoughts are your worst enemies, and thoughts based on Truth are your best friends. But today, people do not befriend the thoughts based on Truth, which are essentially divine. You have to make friendship with Sat, the eternal truth. Sat means Being, the ever-existent God. The worldly friends and enemies change with the passage of time, but Sat is the true and eternal friend. This friend is always with you, in you, around you, above you, below you and protects you just as the eyelid protects the eye.
- Divine Discourse, Mar 18, 1999.
"
God gave this body so that you may use it to sanctify Time, through beneficial acts.
— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
