Upanishads Reveal the Secrets of Divinity - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

They are our true Gurus for all times who are imbued with the spirit of sacrifice and are without any trace of body attachment or worldly temptations. The word of Sai is the word of truth.

(Telugu Poem)

Embodiments of Love!

GOD PERMEATES EVERY CELL and atom of the universe, spreading His divine effulgence everywhere. The Upanishads declare that God is all-pervasive and all that one sees is only the manifestation of Divinity. Unfortunately, man today is not making any attempt to understand and experience the teachings of the Upanishads and those of ancient sages and seers.

Divinity permeates Every Atom of the Universe

Though the Upanishads have revealed the all-pervasive divine principle in a most simple manner, it is a matter of great surprise that man is not making any effort to understand the same. There are a number of instances to observe the manifestations of Divinity. Who is responsible for the sweetness in sugarcane? Who has made chillies hot and spicy? Who is the cause for the bitterness in Neem and the fragrance in flower? Every object in this world has a unique quality which proves the existence of Divinity as its very substratum. Every atom of it manifests Divinity. Any number of examples can be given which make us understand the existence of Divinity. People say, fragrance is the natural quality of a flower. They do not enquire further. Who is responsible for this natural quality? You feel thrilled when you look at a mountain. Boundless joy flows through you when you see a stream in full flow. You feel ecstatic watching a lush green forest. Is it just the law of Nature or the mystery of God? It is not merely the law of Nature but the mysterious manifestation of God in the form of Nature. How can one explain the presence of bird inside an egg? All these are pointers to Divinity. You do not need to undertake any particular Sadhana in order to visualize the Divine. You can experience Him in each atom and each cell of the creation.
