Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

of your life, and so the rotation of peads becomes a superfluous and
cumbersome exercise in which you have no more interest. Always, at
all times, in all places, the Lord is meditated upon. That is the stage to
which the rosary should lead you. You should not be bound to it for ever;
it is only a contraption. (27-43/45)
Devotion is the state of mind In which one has no separate existence
apart from God. The devotee’s very breath is God; his every act is by
God, for God; his thoughts are of God; his words are uttered by God,
about God. (27-47)
Man consumes as food many living beings, plants, eggs, fish, cattle,
sheep etc. They are born as human beings, an account of this act of
consumption. But, since they have not had the education which can reveal
the God within they vegetate or stay brutish, without the appropriate
ticket or passport for rising higher than the human status in which
they have been hurriedly placed. Like most men, they roll along from
womb to tomb, bond-slaves to the senses and the ills that the bondage
brings inevitably in its train. Do not be content with slavery; yearn to
reach the sun of splendour, the source of perfect wisdom. (27-57/58)
You are the image or the supreme Atman, the image that is reflected
in the body that is part of nature. The original Divine spirit, the individualized
spirit, which is the image, and the objective world of which the
body is a part - these are the three entities called: “God, being, nature”.
Success in spiritual discipline is won the moment you are able to either
deny the objective world as a delusion or recognise it as nothing but
the supreme spirit itself. When the mirror, the nature, goes, the image
(being) also disappears. When the mirror is eliminated, two entities
disappear, it and the reflection it can cast, and, you merge in the Divine.
(27-60)
Of the electric current, the positive and the negative together produce
light. The positive pole is grace, Divine majesty, basking in his glory.
The negative pole is the consciousness “not I", “not mine”; the denial
of the deluding experiences of the waking, the dream and the deepsleep
stages, the destruction of the warp and woof of the mind, the
process of weeding and cleansing.
The one is known by many names; the one is pictured in many forms.
There is only one Truth. People discern one facet at a time; their vision
is too limited to see it whole. (27-60)
