BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA PHILOSOPHY

http://members.value.com.au/saibaba/saibabareligions008.htmWhat is liberation?

It is release from the constant cycle of birth and death. Why should man want

liberation? He will only want liberation when he has been purified as a result

of many lives and then, at last, he will begin to see the difference between

truth and illusion. In fact, truth comes from within, an inner awakening which

begins like a tiny light shining out of the darkness and ending like a

searchlight, beaming out light, truth and the love of God.SAI RAMFROM BHAGAWAN
