Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - September 20, 2024
Narration
Translated
How should our spiritual learning and training manifest itself? Bhagawan explains by asking us a deep question.
Many pandits claim to be exponents of the Vedas and Shastras, but it is not what they teach that tells, but how they live. Many sing the glory of the Lord, but, few live in His constant presence and in the constant awareness of that Glory that fills the Universe. ‘Udupi Krishna!’ they sing; but, they don't make their hearts Udupi (a holy place), so that Krishna may come and be installed therein. I ask you to fix your mind on any name of the Lord that brings to your consciousness the glory and grace of the Lord. Also, train your hands to do acts that serve the Lord shining in every being. All men are He; He shaves as the barber, He makes pots as the potter; He starches and irons clothes as the washerman. He prompts, He inspires, He devises, He fulfils. You take a sheet of paper on which My form is printed as Myself; you revere It; you fall to the ground before It in reverence; why cannot you then revere all human beings, believing that I am in each of them, in an even clearer form?
- Divine Discourse, Apr 26, 1965.

God is in the form of love in everyone. The quality is the same, though the quantity may vary. - BABA
