Thus spake Sai - 7

 

It is attachment to property or position born out of a sense of

possessiveness that is the cause of man's sorrow and unhappiness. Man

must strive to get rid of this feeling of " I " and " mine " in order to

experience enduring happiness. When everything appears to be going well,

man forgets everything including himself. His ego gets inflated as a

result of his achievements and acquisitions. He should realize that he

is only a temporary beneficiary of what he possesses and has no

permanent title to them. He should regard power or position as a moral

responsibility carrying the obligation to discharge the duties relating

to it. It is only when all actions are done in this spirit of moral

imperative that man can experience genuine happiness and satisfaction.

 

Peace cannot be found in the external world but within oneself. One

should realize that the whole universe is pervaded by the Divine. Today

the world is filled with strife. It is not possible to make a

distinction between a human being and a demon. Man, who evolved from the

animal, instead of proceeding towards Divinity, is regressing to

animality. Man's primary duty is to uphold the human values of Truth,

Righteousness, Peace and Love. However, man today is enveloped in

attachment and hatred. The moment he casts them off, he will realize his

divinity.

 

The entire universe has been created out of the Will of God. God creates

the universe and sustains it. The universe ultimately merges in God, the

source of its origin. The universe is known as Vishwam. The correct

meaning of Vishwam is that which is self-expansive and full of bliss.

Vishwam is not merely a manifestation of physical matter; it is a direct

manifestation of God. It is the very embodiment of the Cosmic

Personality, with all His limbs. God is the primal cause behind the

universe. The universe is the reflection of God. Vishwam and Vishnu

(God) are not different from each other. This can be understood only

through Viveka (discrimination).
