Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

serve the disciplines and purify the consciousness, you can see the
God installed in your heart. 25.12.70, (21-410/411)
Activity is the keynote of the universe; by activity, all beings are born,
by activity they maintain themselves, and through that activity they
perish. Constant breathing, inhaling and exhaling, keeps the body
temperature even and comfortable. The one that is beyond all activity
assumed the forms of the five basic elemental materials - sky, earth,
air, fire and water - in order to act and activate. To be active, yet to be
always aware that it is all mere acting, is the secret of happiness. That
is the virtue which must regulate and sanctify the activity. 11.5.71, (22-
17)
The Divine has in its vision all mankind; it cannot be bound by the limits
of one caste or one creed. This Avatar might have taken birth in a particular
community, but it has come for the weak, the diseased, the distressed,
the downtrodden, the devoted, the Divinely oriented, among
all mankind. You describe yourself wrongly as one without a guardian!
For, to guard you and foster you, here is God, He is ever ready to respond
to prayer, to virtue, to goodness. God has no guardian. He is the
guardian of the universe! No one can control him or command him or
claim to guide him!
Every being who is handicapped by hunger has the right to ask God
for food! He has inflicted hunger; so, it is his duty, his pleasure to provide
the food, which can assuage it! So, you have also the right to pray
that he helps you realise Him. That is the education which you must
encourage among yourselves. 21.6.71, (22-45)
God is sweetness; His words are sweet, His sight is sweet; He sounds
sweet; He is sweeter than sweetness itself. But, when your tongue is
afflicted with illness, He will be bitter. Cure the illness, by cultivating
love to all. There is no need to take refuge in a forest or in solitude. You
cannot give up activity. You have to move along the line to which you
are attuned; you cannot lead a life of renunciation, on the spur of the
moment; it requires long years of preparation. 23.7.71, (22-55)
I have come to restore love among mankind, to cleanse if of narrowness,
and restrictive attitudes. That is the main task, in the revival of
morality. It is not enough, to talk about the prime importance of love in
the task of human rehabilitation. One must set the example, in actual
practice. 1.8.71, (22-60)
