Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

He who adores the past is considered a coward who has no courage
to chalk out a new path for himself; he who indulges in some new antic
is acclaimed as a genius. He gets a whole host of imitators. He who
throws mud on established bevies is a hero; he who tries to support
them is a poltroon. Poets must try to escape from this disease. They
must regain their own health and give health-giving stuff to the people.
8.2.64, (19-102)
At the present time, the learned and the scholarly in every field suffer
from a dire disease, namely, "under-development of moral fibre". No
emphasis is laid on the growth of virtue in the plans for national development:
the virtuous man is laughed at as on “ignoramus” who does
not know the act of getting on in the world. But, as the Vedas proclaim,
ail acts must contribute to the elevation of character, the purification of
emotions, passions and impulses that infest the mind, the broadening
of vision and the strengthening of man's bonds with the universal, of
which he is a part. 8.12.64, (19-6)
I shall tell you just one thing which those books teach; one thing which
I want you to resolve to follow, from this full noon day dedicated to the
Divine preceptor: "Do not seek to find fault in others, give up maligning
and injuring others; do not scandalise any one, do not feel envy or malice.
Be always sweet in temperament, in talk. Fill your conversation
with devotion and humility."
Live with love, in love, for love. Then the Lord who is Divine love personified
will grant you all that you need in spite of your not asking for
anything. He knows; he is the Mother who does not wait to hear the
moan of the child to feed it. His love is so vast and deep; he anticipates
every need and rushes with the help you need. You are all waiting anxiously
to know when I am granting “interviews” so that you can place
before me the long lists of wishes, which you have brought.
These wishes go on multiplying; they never end. The fulfillment of one
leads to a new series. Strive to arrive at the stage when his wish alone
will count and you are an instrument in his hands. 13.7.65, (19-26/27)
When young men realise that God is omnipresent and resident in one's
own heart, then, they will certainly follow the Veda injunction. (...) They
will always speak only the truth; they will practice only moral justice.
24.10.65, (19-106)
