Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - March 17, 2026

Narration
Translated
What is the reason for the incapacity to realise the Divinity within? Our Loving Lord clearly explains to us today.
If a sculptor could create out of an inanimate piece of stone a living image of God, cannot human beings, vibrant with life, manifest the living Divinity that resides in them? What is the reason for this incapacity to realise the Divinity within? It is because we do not realise the soiled cover in which it is wrapped up. If our clothes get dirty, we change them because we are ashamed to appear in dirty garments. If our house is dirty, we try to clean it so that visitors may not get a bad impression. But when our minds and our hearts are polluted, we do not feel ashamed. Is it not strange that we should be so much concerned about the cleanliness of our clothes or our homes, but are not concerned about the purity of our hearts and minds, which affect our entire life? To purify our hearts and minds, the first thing is that we have to lead a righteous life. Our actions must be based on morality. Indulging in abusing others or inflicting pain on others is not a sign of human nature. The evil that we do to others ultimately recoils on us.
