Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

expand the heart into the Universal. Do not cloud your minds with
cheap desires, transitory hungers and thirsts, that need but morsels or
mouthfuls. Yearn for the enthronement of your soul as the unquestioned
monarch of the universe, when you merge in the Universal; celebrate
your triumph over the foes within that hamper your march to victory.
Acquire me as your Charioteer; I shall lead you to that
consummation. Earn that unfailing grace, by your sincerity, simplicity
and spiritual discipline. (...)
Consider all your acts as worship. Duty is God; work is worship. Whatever
happens, accept it gladly as his handiwork, a sign of his compassion.

Who are you to pass judgement on their validity or value? I do not like
group singing that promotes rivalry, or envy or egoism or that emanates
from intolerance. I appreciate and reward humility, fortitude,
sympathy, service, brotherliness, and constant remembrance of God
or goodness. When you yearn to have my picture on your heart, you
must turn the lens of the camera towards me. Turn your intellect, your
emotions, your feelings, your activities towards me, then certainly, my
picture will be imprinted on your heart. If your lens is facing the world
and worldly things, how can it be imprinted upon your heart? 18.8.68,
(20-283/287)
I am telling you this, because it is a forecast of what you can expect in
the coming days. I have been declaring for six or seven years that the
day when millions will gather to benefit from the Avatar is fast coming;
I am advising you to garner and treasure all the grace and all the bliss
you can, while you may, so that you can sustain yourselves ruminating
on the sweetness of the memories and the experience.
If you live on the level of the body and the individual, you will be entangled
in food, fun and frolic, in ease, envy and pride. Forget it, ignore
it, overcome it - you will have peace, joy and calm. In the Divine path,
there is no chance of failure; it is the path of love. 8.4.72, (22-114)
In order that you may attain the only goal of human life, namely, realising
the Divine and becoming Divine, the Eternal has limited itself and
come in this human form. It will reveal the ideals again, and re-establish
it among all men. Of course, it is difficult for those who are unacquainted
with the scriptures to grasp the mystery of this advent.
