what happened: “Did somebody hit you” But<br />

the boy could not stop crying to answer. When he<br />

finally calmed down, he said: “No, teacher, it is this<br />

song.” It was the transformation of the heart that<br />

was taking place in this boy that moved him to tears<br />

when he heard the value song. These are just some<br />

of the wonderful experiences we have had in this<br />

<strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> School. There are 12 other <strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong><br />

Schools and 7 <strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Institutes in Latin America<br />

in which this same love is transforming the hearts<br />

and lives of all.<br />

Example of Love in Action<br />

I have come to understand that it is not the<br />

information, nor the techniques, but the true love<br />

that pours out from the hearts of teachers that<br />

transforms the children. This gives us a glimpse of<br />

what is so special about a <strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> School: a teacher<br />

must be an example of love in action, every moment,<br />

every day throughout the year. The teacher must<br />

develop constant integrated awareness, that is,<br />

uninterrupted Divine Love, if the <strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong><br />

School is to fulfill its mission.<br />

Swami gave me a unique golden opportunity.<br />

The opportunity to have my head in the forest and<br />

hands in the society; to have my heart in Prasanthi<br />

Nilayam and in the <strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> School, and to be able<br />

to share this experience with my scientist colleagues.<br />

From the depths of my heart, Bhagavan, I offer You<br />

my gratitude and my life.<br />

Three Prayers<br />

Swami, I would like to offer at Your Lotus<br />

Feet three prayers. First, please help us to keep our<br />

hearts perfectly pure, so that we can become perfect<br />

instruments in Your Divine Mission. Second, help<br />

us to constantly pour our loving energy in the<br />

<strong>Sathya</strong> <strong>Sai</strong> Schools, with determination, discipline,<br />

and devotion. And finally, Swami, may all <strong>Sathya</strong><br />

<strong>Sai</strong> Schools in the world flourish, grow, and shine,<br />

sharing Your Love and Your Message with the entire<br />

mankind.<br />

Jai <strong>Sai</strong> Ram!<br />
