Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - October 30, 2025
Narration
Translated
How can we defeat maya or illusion in this life? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today and inspires us to rise above maya. How can you think of God who is beyond the human level? What is it that God loves? What is it that God expects? How should you conduct yourself so as to be acceptable to God? If you want to have the power beyond your level, if you want to have the strength beyond what you have, you should take refuge in God, who is beyond everything. Man may have enormous wealth and great power and position. But maya (illusion) has much more power than him. In order to overcome maya, man has to take the help of God who has higher power than maya. Sugriva sought Rama’s friendship as He was more powerful than Vali. Similarly, man has to seek the power of God in order to conquer maya. Until then, maya makes man dance to its tune. Maya can be compared to a nartaki (dancer). When you gain full control over this na-rta-ki, your life becomes a ki-rta-na (the reverse of the word nartaki). Chanting of the Divine Name is the best means of man’s liberation in Kali Yuga.

What greater penance can there be other than making the Divine Name dance on your tongue constantly? – BABA
