Strive for eternal values: Saibaba

 

By Our Staff Reporter

 

PUTTAPARTHI JULY 13. Sri Satya Saibaba has said that truth is the

epitome of the universe and except it everything is perishable. He,

however, expressed concern that the present generation is neglecting

it. The man is lacking purity and unity, he observed.

 

In his 90-minute discourse on the occasion of Guru Pournami in the

sprawling Sai Kulwanth Hall in Prashati Nilayam here today, Saibaba

said the universe was the creation of the almighty. It was not

physical but a combination of the `panchendriyas' of the God. The

God had created and maintaining the universe and the almighty was

the sole control of it.

 

`Satchintana' and `adhyatmikata' were also created by the God so

that the humans would remember and pray him. Truth was permanent and

everybody should strive for it, Saibaba said.

 

One should have resolve and pure commitment towards his/her goals of

life, then only he could achieve them, Saibaba observed.

 

The auditorium was jam-packed for the first discourse of Saibaba for

the last four months. Saibaba dwelt at length about the operation he

underwent at the Satya Sai Super Specialities Hospital at the

Whitefield in Bangalore on his hip muscles. He said he could have

used his heavenly powers to heal the illness but he was always

against its use for my selfish needs. Instead he would use such

powers for the welfare of the mankind.

 

In his 30-minute narration of his time in the hospital, Saibaba

wishes of the millions of people across the globe had made the fast

healing possible. He had received countless e-mails, letters and

greetings from all over the world wishing him fast recovery.

 

He showered praises on Dilip Ray and Satyajit, the staff of Satya

Sai Central Trust, who had served him tirelessly round the clock

when he was in the hospital. He also had compliments and blessings

for the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee women's wing president, J.

Geeta Reddy, who, he said, enquired about his health condition at

the entrance of the hospital itself though she was not allowed

inside.

 

Saibaba also complimented Hindulal M. Shah, an industrialist, for

setting up Satya Sai Dharmakshetram in Mumbai against all odds. The

Union Minister of State for Home, I.D. Swamy, senior IPS officers

H.J. Dora and V. Appa Rao, and others were present on the occasion.
