The
Art of Living
(Sri Anand Sai)
When
the sense of doership falls awya, we dwell in the Inner Ocean of tranquility
and peace.
Dukhas are not given to us as a punishment but
for our reformation. When we repeat His Name with a bursting heart,
full of true love and dveotion, we bathe in His Divine Mercy and Kindness.
Inner cleanliness is more important than
outer cleanliness. Peace, born out of transitary wealth, Name and FAme,
is the peace of the grave. Real joy is in inner Equi-poise (Santosh).

DIVINE
PATH
(From the speeches of 'PAPA' Sri Anand Sai)
Be Seeker of Truth
When
originally the creator thought of creating the creation, the Divine
Mother created an infinite womb, which is called in our scriptures as
"Hirnaya Garbh" (An infinite womb). There are countless planets,
countless solar system,s in this infinite womb of which the scientists
cannot possibly keep track. They have been able to find our some solar
systems by their instruments, but they could not find our that there
are a multiple number of solar systems beyond, where they have no reach
and they gave it the name of 'Mulky Way'. In that Milky Way there are
countless solar systems, so many suns and every sun sorrounded by so
many planets like our's. And that whole thing is in one infinite womb.
When you imagine that this planet of ours is ninety three crores of
miles from this sun, then by your-own brain and intellect understand
that there are countless suns like that. So many bigger solar system
than this, and all of them are being created sustained and destroyed
in one Divine womb. And that womb, that infinite womb, does that give
you an idea how infininte is that?That is a part of the Divinity. Imagine
in your mind, in countless planets, there are countless creatinos. But
every thing is being ruled by strict order and law. Life of every being
is strictly ruled by a definite set of order and law. There is no disorder
in it anywhere in these countless creations, in countless planets. When
you begin to have even a little glimpse of His creation by The Grace
of The Holy Divine Mother, you false ego is crushed to pieces. You begin
to feel how funny a human being is. What can he is a bubble in that
infinite ocean is a lie. That is one angle. Of course from the other
angle, he is part and parcel of that Divinity. An itegral part and the
part is the same as the whole. But tha tis a different thing, a different
picture all together.
Unless we
become children, it is dust that we will get in the long run. Unless
we become childlike, at the end of our lives we shall find that we are
departing from this world with nothing, it is the dust that we have
got, we have accumulated in our whole lives. Be childlike. Be children
again. Unlearn What you have learnt. You unlearn all that you have learnt.
Be children again, so that you are acceptable to the Divninity. So long
as you have got pride of your intellect, pride of your learning, pride
of your physical prowess, pride of any art, any thing you have, you
are doomed. They are all the Divine Mother's gifts, you are tresspassing
into somebody else's property.
All of ur
have waited for countless births for this opportunity that we shall
get a human beirth and we shall get the Divine Mother as our saviour.
And that opportunity has come now. No one of ur shall miss this opportunity.
If we miss it we may have to take thousands of births to come to this
state again. Don't let this opportunity slip away. I warn you. You will
not get this opportunity again for tens of thousands of lives again.
I emphasize again and again. We have waited for, we have sought this
opportunity for thousands and thousand of our lives and births. We have
got this opportunity now. We will not let it go. We will hold fast to
the hadn of the Divine Mother, who will ferry us across this ocean of
life and death. beware, no one shoould be deluded, no one should miss
this opportunity. Be resolute we'll never miss this opportunity, never
come what may. We would rather give our life than let this opportunity
slip away.
In spirituality
forgtet that two into two is four. It is nonsense. In spirtituality
forget that two into two is four. In the worldly education, they teach
you, you do this do this and these results will be obtained. When you
came to the spiritual path, the first lessen we give is , forget about
it Mr. This is all nonsense. By doing this no results will be obtained.
All the results are the gifts of the Divine Mother. Two into two never
makes four (2 X 2=4) in spiritualism. Try ! Try ! Anybody of you can
try. Two into two will never make four in spirituality. In the world
it will make our. But here two into two, for some people will make ten
million and two into two for some people will be zero. Try! Some people
us to tell me, we take ten thousand Divine names a day, twenty thousand
divine names a day. But I also saw them at the last time they were whisked
away by the Yama. There is no place for human intellect human brain,
humand mind. In the realm of the spirit the intellect and the mind are
being worked from behind, by that Supreme Power. And the mind and the
intellect can only know and understand if that Power wants it to know.
And as mcuh as it wants the intellect to understand, only that much
the mind and the intellect can understand. the intellect has not got
the power and capacity to look back to the One who is working.
The individual
soul cannot contain herslf/ himself when infinite Power, inifinite Shakti
enters into the finite body. This is the state of ecstasy, inaffable
joy. About this state Lord Sri Krishna sai,d "He who gets into
this state of ecstasy, loses conscousness of his own body. He dances
hither and thither in ecstasy. He is lot in Divine consciousness. That
being not only purifies his own self, his family, his class, his country
but the whole world. And I walk behind him, so that my form gets the
dust of hi holy feet and I also get purified. " This is the message
of the Lord, of this cestasile stage. Which you are seeing just now.
You feel as if toys made of clay are being moved hither and thither
by that infinite Supreme Power. With no consciousness of the finite
being. For the time being, they are merged in the infinity. However
temporary this phenomenan may be, this spiritual phenomenan washes away
the sins of countless births, countless lives. It flushes down the dirt
of countless births. This cosmic force is a conscious force. This cosmic
force, this cosmic power, which is moving our bodies is a conscious
power, conscious force, doning everything witha purpose, Divine purpose,
in fulifilment of some Divine purpose. Blessed are they, in whose form
the Holy Divine Mother plays the Divine Game. This arouses in us the
letent Divine Power the Kundalini. This arouses in us the love of the
child for the Divine Mother, the ove of the finite soul for the supreme
infinity.The Lord said "This is the state of almost bilss. "
Lord Sri Sai Baba says, "When the jeeva is lost in repture in the
Diviine contemplation, in tht Divine mould that is the state of bliss."
Penance is not fasting. Fasting
of food does not take you every far. What is required is complete eradication
of these false foul sense of seperateness, this ego 'I'.The greatest
tapasya, the greatest penance therefore is to get rid of this I. You
alone are everything, Divine Mother ! I am nothing. I am the engine,
You are the friver. I am the machine, You are the mechanic. This is
real tapasya. You make me act. You make me do things. Even when I lift
my arm, it is you my Divine Mother, who makes me do that. Even when
I lift my foot to take a step, it is you my Divine Mother who make me
do that. What can the deaak skeleton do? You are that conscious, supreme
conscious Power, which is activatin all forms. When every thing is taking
shape, taking place by your will, power and command my dear Divine Mother.
Then where on earth is there anything which is so called bad form me,
not good for me, not auspicious for me, which is inauspicious for me.
When You have taken charge of my body. When I have left myself in our
charge, in your Divne lap, whatever happnes, seemingly good, seemingly
bad in the phenomenal world is all auspicious for me. That very moment
when I offered myself in all sincerity at Your Lotus Feet at Your Altar
that very moment all inauspiciousness fled away. Now there is nothing
inauspicous left in my life whatever may happen according to destiny.
Everything is most auspicious, most welcome to me. Because You alone
are the doer. You alone are incharge of this body, mind, intellect and
soul. It was the most blessed moment of millions of my life, when I
reached You Lotus Feet. Because you are by far the greatest redeemer
of mankind.

Whom do you search
Whom do you see
Peep, peep within
You yourself are He.
Who moves this body
Who moves this mind
Delve, delve within
The truth of it you find.
Do you want to know
The deeper life force
Go, go within
Abide at the source.
