The Divine Sathya Sai Mission

[Guest guest]

I have come to give you the key to the

treasure of ananda, or bliss, to teach you how to tap that spring, for

you have forgotten the way to blessedness. If you waste this time of

saving yourselves, it is just your fate. You have come to get from me

tinsel and trash, the petty little cures and promotions, worldly joys

and comforts. Very few of you desire to get from me the thing that I

have come to give you: namely, liberation itself. Even among these few,

those who stick to the path of sadhana, or spiritual practice, and

succeed are a handful.

 

I am determined to correct you only after

informing you of my credentials. That is why I am now and then

announcing my Nature by means of miracles, that is, acts which are

beyond human capacity and human understanding. Not that I am anxious to

show off my Powers. The object is do draw you closer to me, to cement

your hearts to me.

 

I ask only that you turn to me when your

mind drags you into grief or pride or envy. Bring me the depths of your

mind, no matter how grotesque, how cruelly ravaged by doubts or

disappointments. I know how to treat them. I will not reject you. I am

your mother.

 

Why fear when I am here? Put all your faith in Me. I shall guide and guard you. The

godliness which is present in everybody in the form of a little spark

exists in me as the full flame, and it is my mission to develop every

little spark of God in everyone to the fullness of the divine flame.

 

Where there is a desire for mental

tranquility, I hurry to grant tranquility. Where there is

dispiritedness, I hasten to raise the drooping heart. Where there is no

mental trust, I rush to restore trust. I am ever on the move to fulfill

the mission for which I have come.

 

I never utter a word that does not have

significance, or do a deed without beneficial consequence.What I will,

must take place; what I plan must succeed.

 

Transformation must begin with the

individual. When the individual changes, the world will change. This

transformation has to take place in the minds of men. Right thoughts

will lead to right actions.

 

Do not bother about what has happened in

the past. Get immersed in the tasks of the present. Render service with

a pure and selfless heart. The delight of the individual gladdens the

Divine. Equally the Divine esteems you. Do everything with the Lord's

name on your lips. Develop all that is good in you and share that

goodness with one and all.
