Thus spake Sai - 3

 

Considering the material world as the only reality, man loses himself in

the pursuit of material objects. But, if the truth about these material

objects is fully explored, it will be found that they have no reality at

all. They are temporary and ephemeral. They do not have the stamp of

permanent reality. They do not confer enduring bliss. Every human being

seeks to enjoy bliss. To realize everlasting bliss, man has to make the

requisite effort. He should find out - " Who am I? " When he has found the

answer to this question, there will be no need for him to understand

what is Sath-Chith-Ananda (Being-Awareness-Bliss). He will realize that

he is the very embodiment of Sath-Chith-Ananda.

 

There are different kinds of Jnana (knowledge). What is implied by the

'Jnana' is the knowledge of the Atma. It is not concerned with the

physical, sensory or worldly knowledge. Atma Jnana (knowledge of the

Atma) can be got only by enquiring into the nature of the Atma and not

by any other means. It cannot be taught by preceptors or learnt by

studying texts. It cannot be received from anyone or offered to anyone.

It has to emerge from the inner consciousness. Preceptors and texts can

only help to some extent. The aspirant who seeks Atma Jnana has to

embark on self-enquiry to experience this Self-awareness. He should

explore and investigate the whole gamut of spiritual experience and

arrive at the Ultimate Reality.

 

To be established in Dhyana (meditation), a spiritual aspirant should

control his senses and passions, and perform action without any desire

for the fruit of the action. Whoever is adept in this can easily see

with the mind's eye the form of Brahman (Divinity) as soon as he hears

the exposition of its nature. When Vairagya (detachment) is rooted deep,

the heart becomes pure and withdrawal of the senses from the objective

world becomes possible.
