Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

You want us to look for unity in diversity. You expect us to be aware

of unity in diversity. How is it possible?

 

It is certainly possible. Everything in this world has five aspects.

Among them, three are changeless while the other two change. The

three are asti, being, bhati, awareness, priyam, bliss and are

immortal. They may also be termed as sat, cit and ananda. Then there

are two more aspects that change. They are rupa, form and nama, name.

Name and form depend on the three changeless and permanent aspects

mentioned above, viz., truth, awareness and bliss, sat, cit, ananda.

For example: you observe the sea, its waves and its foam. They are

interdependent; one cannot exist without the other. Waves come out of

the sea. Waves are not independent. We find foam collecting on the

surface of the waves. When there are no waves, there can be no chance

for the foam to collect on the surface. However, apparently, we have

three forms in different names sea, wave, and foam. But essentially,

all the three show the same water by different names. Don't they?

 

The sea represents paramarthika satya, Spiritual Truth; the waves

stand for pratibhasika satya, superimposed or mistaken identity,

while the foam is the vyavaharika satya, worldly or physical truth.
