Splendour of Divinity - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba |
|
|
God controls the entire creation while Truth holds sway over God; But Truth itself is subservient to a noble one; such a noble one is the embodiment of Divinity! (Sanskrit Verse) |

Embodiments of Love! |

AN INDIVIDUAL HAS many experiences in the waking state and other distinct experiences in the dream state. In this latter state, he creates everything he experiences – feelings, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow. In the deep sleep state, he is oblivious to everything worldly or imaginary and becomes one with Primary Consciousness. Thus, under three different circumstances, the same person has three different types of experiences. Experiences may vary but the Transcendental Being within is eternal and not subject to any change. A garland drawn on a piece of paper will never move, shake or wobble. The paper itself might get tossed violently by gusts of wind but the garland would always remain firm on the paper and not undergo any relative movement. Likewise, although the external circumstances and thoughts of an individual may undergo changes, the Divinity imprinted within will ever remain steady, constant and never undergo any change. All aspirants must cultivate clear vision and steady mind. |

Body is the Reservoir of Auspiciousness |

The human body may be compared to a bamboo pole. The bamboo has many joints that interrupt its smoothness. For the human being, the six evils, namely, kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attachment), Mada (pride), Matsarya (jealousy) represent the bends or the joints. |
