Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - December 07, 2025
Narration
Translated
What will give us the deservedness for earning God’s grace? Bhagawan enunciates so that we may prime ourselves.
People pray to God for His grace and blessings. But first, they should earn deservedness. Here is a small example. When people travel in a bus, the person who boards the bus first sits on the first seat, and the one who boards the bus last sits on the last seat. But while getting down from the bus, the person on the last seat gets down first, and the one on the first seat gets down last. In this way, the person who boards the bus first stays in the bus for a longer period. Moreover, if he has a bag with some valuables in it, he gets time to gather them carefully. This is called prapti (deservedness). A person with purity of mind has this deservedness. Hence, man should wash away dirty thoughts from his mind and fill it with sacred thoughts. Then only will he attain Jnana Drishti (vision of wisdom), which will enable him to see the universe as the shining cosmic form of God.
- Divine Discourse, Apr 18, 1996
"
Cry for the Lord, just as Sakkubai and Mira cried, unable to bear the pangs of separation. They could have His vision and earn His grace only due to such intense yearning. - BABA
