Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

le for this. If someone were to criticise you, do not get agitated. Remember
that the same Atman principle is present in both of you. The
one who accuses and the accused are not two different entities. There
will be no scope for agitation if you understand this truth. Peace and
security will reign supreme once this principle of oneness is recognized.
Likewise, God and devotee are not separate from each other.
(...)
The devotee worshipping God amounts to worshipping himself. This
principle of oneness is Brahma. Viewing this oneness as many is Bhrama
or illusion. It is this Bhrama that is responsible for the restlessness
in the world. True spiritual practice lies in cultivating the spirit of oneness.
There is no greater spiritual discipline than this. Whatever spiritual
practice one undertakes, one should do it with love. Then there
will be no scope for anger and jealousy. (...)
You are beings of immortality, not beings of falsehood. There is awareness
in physical body. That awareness is true wisdom. (...)
You may think that you are separate from Sai. But in fact, I and you
are not separate from each other. I am not yours, you are mine, you
and I are one. Understand this truth and act accordingly. Experience
of oneness is true wisdom. There is only one without a second. (...)
God exists, but you cannot see him. All the names and forms are his.
Once you develop this faith, love will follow. (...)
Fill your heart with love, then there will be no place for evil qualities like
jealousy, anger and hatred. (...)
All are embodiments of God. Give up body attachment and develop attachment
towards Atman. Today hatred is on the rise everywhere. Ego
is the root cause for hatred. Give up ego and you can have the vision
of the Atman. All this can be accomplished only through love. (25.8.99)
Mere chanting of the Lord's name is not enough. Offer your love to
God. Love is not your property. In fact, it is the property of God. Surrender
to God what is his. What is the use of a long life without this offering?
You have no right to offer your love to anyone other than God.
When you offer all your love to God, he will look after all your needs.
There is nothing that he cannot do in this world. In city or in hamlet, in
forest or in sky, on the high peak or in the deep ocean, God is everywhere.
Space and time are pervaded by him. All beings are his forms.
Realise this truth, transform it into practice and enjoy the bliss. This is
true devotion. Human life attains true meaning only then. (3.9.99)
