Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

saves man from the torment of birth and death. Love binds all hearts
in a soft silken symphony. Seen through the eyes of love, all beings are
beautiful, all deeds are dedicated, all thoughts are innocent. The world
is one vast kin. 7.7.68, (20-248)
The Lord is most pleased with righteousness. For, in order to save
righteousness and restore righteousness to its ancient purity and clarity,
he condescends to assume human form and walk among mankind
as if he was one of themselves! Therefore, if you yearn for the grace
of God, let righteousness be the inspiration behind every thought,
word and deed of yours. Let the knowledge that all are repositories of
the Divine inspire you with love, tolerance, sympathy and reverence.
Through work filled with righteousness you progress towards worship
that is filled with the consciousness of Divinity in all and through that
worship you attain wisdom when you experience the Divinity that fills

fruit; this is the order of spiritual progress of each individual. When the
fruit is saturated with sweetness, it drops. That is the consummation.

whom you love most! For God's grace envelops you then, and you are
strengthened beyond all previous experience. (...)
God is the embodiment of sweetness. Attain him by offering him, who
resides in all, the sweetness that he has showered on you. (...)

evolution; but, he is not consciously striving to live up to his
heritage. (...)
Each of you has struggled upwards from the stone to plant, from plant
to animal, from animal to man! Do not slide back into the beast; rise
higher to Divinity, shining with the new effulgence of love. The Divine
is the energy that animates, the urge that circulates the blood in your
veins, that transmits knowledge and experience through the nerves,
that correlates and collects for storage the impressions your senses
gather, the conclusions your intelligence garners keep in line with the
Divine, by means of love, truth and goodness. (...)
