UPANISHAD VAHINI - Sathya Sai Speaks

UPANISHAD VAHINI31the OM with single-pointed attention. Meditate on theAtma as unaffected by the Jivi, though in him and withhim and activating him. Meditate on Him in the heart,from which radiate countless nadis, subtle nerves, in alldirections. If this process is followed, one can attain Jnanaor WisdomThe Universe is an instrument to reveal the majestyof God. The inner firmament in the heart of man is alsoequally a revelation of His Glory. He is the Breath ofone’s breath. Since He has no specific form, He cannotbe indicated by words. Nor can His mystery be penetratedby the other senses. He is beyond the reach of asceticism,beyond the bounds of Vedic rituals. He can be knownonly by an intellect that has been cleansed of all trace ofattachment and hatred, of egoism and the sense ofpossession.Jnana alone can grant self-realisation. Dhyana(meditation) can confer concentration of the faculties.Through that concentration, Jnana can be won, even whilein the body. The Brahmam activates the body throughthe five vital airs or Pranas. It condescends to revealitself in that same body as soon as the inner consciousnessattains the requisite purity. For the Atma is immanent inthe senses, inner and outer, as heat in fuel and as butter inmilk. Now, the consciousness is like damp fuel, soakedin the foulness of sensory desires and disappointments.
