Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - October 29, 2026

Narration
Translated
What is the best way to worship God? How can we please HIm? Bhagawan lovingly and clearly reminds us today.
The Lord is now worshipped by offering Him all things that you crave for, and by treating Him with all the honour you like to be done to yourself. The idol is bathed and washed, bedecked with jewels, fed and fanned, surrounded with fragrance, etc., since these are things you desire. But the Lord is pleased only when you do things the Lord desires! How else can you win His Grace? How else than by nursing and nourishing, succouring and saving His children? How else than by helping them to realise Him, as their Lord and Guardian, and cultivating faith in Him, through your own straight and sincere living? One of the first principles of straight living is: Practise silence. For the Voice of God can be heard in the region of your heart only when the tongue is stilled, and the storm is stilled, and the waves are calm. There will be no temptation for others to shout when you talk to them in whispers. Set the level of the tone yourself: as low as possible, and as high as necessary to reach the outermost boundary of the circle you are addressing. Conserve sound, since it is the treasure of the element akasa (space), an emanation from God Himself. Reason can prevail only when arguments are advanced without the whipping up of sound. Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker. Soft, sweet speech is the expression of genuine Love. Hate screeches; fear squeals; conceit trumpets. But love sings lullabies; it soothes, it applies balm. Practise the vocabulary of Love; unlearn the language of hate and contempt.
- Divine Discourse Feb 19, 1970
"
Render every thought into a flower, worthy to be held in His Fingers; render every deed into a fruit, full of the sweet juice of love, fit to be placed in His Hand; render every tear holy and pure, fit to wash His Lotus Feet. - BABA
— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
