Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

You should offer your knowledge for the benefit of the people. You
should set an example to your fellowmen. Cultivate the spirit of oneness
of all mankind. It is to teach this message that the Sai advent has
taken place. Sai has come to indicate the omnipresence of God. The
Avatar has come down to declare that God is present everywhere.
This is as necessary as the need for some one to light a lamp even if
you have a lamp holder, oil and wick. The Avatar comes not only to
proclaim the eternal virtues but also to shower his love on all mankind.
But each one will get the benefit according to the size of the vessel he
holds. (1.7.96)
Embodiments of Divine Atman! When you fill your vision with love, the
whole creation will appear Divine to you. The cosmos appears to you
as a manifestation of diversity, but in reality there is no diversity. No
one makes any effort to discover the unity that underlies the diversity.
In every human being, both Divinity and the illusion (maya) principle
are immanent. How is this to be comprehended? Existence-consciousness-bliss
(sat-chit-ananda) represent the Divine in man. The
names and forms which man perceives are expressions of the Divine
principle.
On the ocean, the wind is the cause of waves, on the ocean of existence-consciousness-bliss,
the wind of illusion gives rise to innumerable
living creatures. Therefore, the individuals who have emerged from
the ocean of existence-consciousness-bliss are manifestations of the
Divine. Divinity is everywhere. But because of man's ignorance, man
is prey to numerous troubles. (30.7.96)
You have to proceed from the individual to a realization of the Supreme
self. All are manifestations of the Divine. You may ask whether
you can ever acquire the powers possessed by Sai. Follow me. You
are bound to get that power. That power is latent in you. But you are
not aware of it. You want to experience bliss. If you truly follow Sai,
you will discover that bliss within you. Nor is that all. You will find that
bliss all around you, wherever you go. You cannot find that bliss in the
physical world. It is wholly within you. Consider yourself as Divine at
all times and in all situations. You will thereby become one with the Divine.
Turn your mind godward and you will experience the bliss of the Divine.
It is for this reason that Sai gives you advice from time to time as
to what you should do and what you should avoid. All this is not for my
