The Divine Principle of Soham in Man - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Brahma is the creator of the whole universe,
Vishnu preserves and sustains it,
And Siva is responsible for its dissolution.
This is the truth that is being conveyed.

(Telugu Poem)

Part II

The Upanishads appear to be very difficult to understand. But if you know the correct meanings of the words, then they become very easy. So, instead of knowing the essence of all the Upanishads, one should make all efforts to know the correct meanings of the words in the Upanishads. One should chant the Mantras of the Upanishads with proper understanding of their meanings. Those who have lost their teeth will have difficulty in chanting the Mantras correctly because they will not be able to have correct intonation. However, it is not necessary to chant the Mantras loudly. You can chant them within yourself.
