Golden words of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - 21.

[Guest guest]

21. Divinity

 

As we go on talking for hours together, we tend to forget what we really intend

to communicate. So, many deviations and distortions creep into our speech.

Today, the entire world is filled with negative feelings. Whoever you come

across, whatever you see, negativity is widespread. All are reflections of your

inner thoughts and feelings. But beyond all these, there is one entity, called

Atma, which is the Embodiment of the divine Self. There is only one Atma, which

dwells in every individual, nay, every living being... There is one Divinity

which expresses itself through millions of individuals. We tend to forget this

great truth and consider each individual as separate from the other. Along with

unity, there should be purity. Where unity and purity go together, there

Divinity is.

 

When you see a mountain, waterfall or forest, you feel happy. All these proclaim

the presence of the Divine. Light shines, the stars twinkle, the sun blazes, the

planets revolve in their orbits. All these phenomena are manifestations of the

Divine. By understanding the nature of flame, you can understand the nature of

fire. By examining a drop of water, you come to know the nature of the Ganges.

Likewise by understanding Maanavathvam (the true nature of humanness), you can

understand Daivathvam (Divinity).
