Sathya Sai Baba The World-Avatar Teaching and Revelations

eousness, so that the world may sail on an even keel and reach the
harbour of liberation, so that the world may be transformed into a Prasanthi
Nilayam. India has the Himalayas, as her shield, as her armour,
as her crown. The range is the sign of majesty, of calm, of cool exhilaration,
the call to the heights which man must climb. From the Himalayas
have flowed over the land the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswathi,
the trinity of (1) spiritual search, (Ganga), (2) mental purification
(Yamuna) and (3) intellectual clarity (Saraswati). The Ganga never
runs dry; it is pure, full, capable of destroying all the bacteria that bring

flows over the land; it can never run dry. It will slake the thirst of generations;
it will confer the boon of immortality on those who crave for
it. 14.1.70, (21-191/192)

Who is the doer? What is the action? What is the fruit of the action? It
is only when these three are properly understood that the secret of creation
can be recognized.
It is easy to criticize the Lord's games (leela), but it is difficult to understand
their inner meaning. Your life should be devoted to understanding
the ways of the Lord.
In this understanding, the first aspect to be recognized is creation of
the cosmos. What is involved in this process should be understood.
For instance, if a giant bridge has to be constructed, a large number
of engineers and other personnel are required. Besides a chief manager,
there will have to be engineers and men working under him. It is
only their combined effort that can build a bridge.
In the same manner, for the creation, protection and mergence of the
cosmos, three principal agencies are required. The principal authority
responsible for creation is known as Brahma. He is in charge of all that
