Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

sake but for your own good, to make you take to the path of God realization,
to teach you the supreme truth about the Brahman and to
make your sacred life an ideal one.
Every man should strive to become an ideal human being. This means
that every one should testify to his Divinity. Imagine how happy everyone
would be if the entire world was filled with this pure, sublime and
sacred ideal.
Recognise that God is your preceptor. He is the preceptor of preceptors.
When you have such an allpervading guru, why should you hanker
after gurus of lesser breed? (30.7.96)
This means that if you have pure, sacred, selfless love for God, the Divine
will appear at that very instant.
How do you realise the presence of the Divine principle within you?
Your body is made up of physical constituents like iron, water, phosphorus
and lead, the value of all of which totals barely a few rupees.
And yet within the body there is a power which can make millions.
Wherefrom does that power come? Does it come from the mother who
gave birth to the child? No. Till the child in the womb is four months and
nine days old, the foetus is just a round mass of jelly. Then a force of
vibration enters the embryo. Wherefrom does that vibration come?
That is the Brahman principle. That is the life principle. From that moment
the child in the womb starts moving. Simultaneously the Brahman
principle enters the foetus. (...)
This is one of the secret doctrines of the Veda. This process is treated
as a human phenomenon. It is not something human. It is a manifestation
of Brahman. (...)
You must realise that whatever scriptures one may master or whatever
power and wealth one many acquire, without love one cannot achieve
liberation. All of you are looking at the external world. Turn your vision
inward. The external vision is useless. It is when you look inward that
you will recognise your true form. The master of a house throws out all
the useless things but safeguards what is most valuable inside on iron
safe in the house. Each of you should realise what is most precious
within you. (31.7.96)
Embodiments of the Divine! If you are really filled with devotion, manifest
your love for God who is the very embodiment of love. If you are
genuinely hungering and thirsting for God, partake of Divine love to appease
your hunger and quench your thirst.
