Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

Three things are most essential today. One: There must be morality in
business. Politics with principle, education with character.
Today the above mentioned seven diseases are causing all the troubles
to the nation. Wherever you turn, there is disorder, misery and
fear. Everyone should resolve to rid the country of these seven grievous
ills.
How are these diseases to be got rid of? Love is the only means. Love
is God. Live in love. When love is developed, hatred will have no place.
Injustice will be out of bounds. People will not indulge in falsehood.
They will not resort to wicked ways. People will follow the right path.
Therefore, deem love as God. Buddha declared: Non-violence is the
foremost virtue. Sathya Sai Baba declares: Love alone is the form of
the Divine.
Love all. Love is God's only property. It does not belong to man. It is
not a purchasable commodity. It issues from the heart. It alone can be
said to be Divine. Divine love is different from human attachments. It
is timeless. It is omnipresent. Make it your sole ideal. It is inherent in
you. Manifest it in the proper way. (7.3.97)
Sai Avatar has incarnated in this Iron Age with the Divine mission of
making every individual realise his relationship with the community,
and ultimately with Divinity.
Transformation at individual level is absolutely essential. But, today
man is wasting his time in evil practices. He indulges in unholy activities
day in and day out. He demeans himself by his evil habits. He kills
animals and eats their flesh. Instead of purifying his mind, he debases
it by taking intoxicants. He defiles time, which is the very form of Divinity,
by gambling. He nurtures evil qualities by indulging in evil activities.
In addition to this, he involves himself in demeaning activities like
stealing and denigrating others. He reads vulgar books, which generate
evil thoughts and violent feelings in him. As he indulges more and
more in wicked activities, he pollutes and corrupts society also. When
individuals take to evil ways, the entire society degenerates. Teaching
and propagation of spirituality is essential for the purification of the individual
and society.
What is spirituality? That which destroys man's animal nature, nurtures
humanness and finally transforms him into a Divine being is spirituality.
Worshipping, singing devotional songs and performing rituals are acts
of secondary importance. They cannot be identified with true spirituality.
