MESSAGE FOR THE WEEK
In this vast expanse of the universe, right from the minutest
atom to the mightiest, everything is permeated by the Atmic reality.
It appears as the minutest of the minute and mightiest of the mighty.
In fact, the principle of oneness that pervades microcosm and
macrocosm is the fundamental reality which you have to enquire into.
That is why Ramana Maharishi used to say, "Enquire, who you really
are?"
You are not a single entity. You are, in fact, three-in-one,
The one you think you are, (body)
The one others think you are (mind) and
The one you really are (Atma).
The Atma is known as conscience and the body which consists of the
senses is called conscious. The Chaitanya (consciousness) which is
present in all, transcends the senses. There is yet another
principle that is beyond consciousness. It is called Super
Consciousness.
In the earlier days, not many people knew who Sai Baba was. He was
considered a Muslim saint. When I first returned to Puttaparthi
declaring Myself as Sai Baba, people thought that I had taken a
Muslim name. But, no one can bind Me to a particular religion like
Hinduism or Islam.
The Vaishnavites say that
Lord Vishnu is the greatest while the Saivites declare that Lord
Siva is the greatest of all. Gaanapatyas (the worshippers of
Ganapati) declare that Ganapati is the greatest. The educated say
Goddess Sarada is the greatest. Shaaktas (worshippers of Shakti)
proclaim that Goddess Shakti is the greatest. My devotees say I am
the greatest. Some others say all are one. People may speak on the
basis of their feelings but in truth, there is only one GOD and the
rest are names.
(Telugu Poem)
Different people may ascribe different
names to the Atmic Reality and try to define it in different ways.
But, the underlying Atma Tattwa is one and the same. This truth has
to be explained to the people in an understandable language. You can
see that there are some houses beyond. In the front portion of the
house, you will find a verandah; then a living room and then a
kitchen. Thereafter, you will find a bathroom and a toilet. Thus,
there are different names for different utilities. How did they
acquire these names? It is only because they are so divided by walls,
for different purposes. But, the truth is they are all parts of the
same house. Similarly, different people have different names and
they establish different relationships with people like mother,
father, brother, etc. >From where did you acquire these
relationships? Everything is your own making. Remove these barriers.
What remains is a vast expanse of oneness. One person refers to
Divinity as Atma, another refers to it as Brahman and the third one
calls it as Vishnu. These are only names ascribed by human beings to
the nameless, formless, attributeless Divinity. The Brahma Tattwa is
one that has no names ascribed to it.
Where did the Brahman come from? The Atmic consciousness that
permeates every living being is referred to as Brahman. When it is
individualised, it is called conscience. It is also referred to as
Jiva. When the Atma Tattwa is encased in a body, it becomes an
individual. The individual, the Atma and consciousness - all the
three are one and the same. People think they are different because
they are given different names. Remove the names. There is only one
Atma Tattwa in every individual. It has no form. It assumes
different forms by joining different individuals. Supposing you name
this object (showing a handkerchief) as Atma. It is a handkerchief
in common parlance. But, when you look at it from a spiritual angle,
it is an object. I call it as thread. Again, after some time I refer
to it as cotton; whether we call it as handkerchief or thread or
cotton, it refers to only one object. Only different names are given
to the object. Take for instance the names of Rama and Krishna. Rama
was not born with that particular name. He was christened Rama only
after His birth. No. Similarly, the name Krishna. Since He was an
embodiment of bliss, He was referred to as Krishna. Akarshati Iti
Krishna (because He attracts, He is Krishna). But, His real nature
is Ananda. He is Ananda Swarupa (embodiment of bliss). The same
principle of Ananda has taken different names. This one single
principle of Ananda is:
Brahmanandam, Parama Sukhadam, KevalamJnanamurtim, Dwandwateetam,
Gagana Sadrisham, Tattwamasyadi Lakshyam, Ekam, Nityam, Vimalam,
Achalam, Sarvadhee Sakshibhutam,Bhavateetam, Trigunarahitam (God is
the embodiment of supreme bliss, He is wisdom absolute, the One
without a second, beyond the pair of opposites, expansive and
pervasive like the sky, the goal indicated by the Mahavakya
Tattwamasi, the eternal, pure, unchanging, the witness of all
functions of the intellect, beyond all mental conditions and the
three Gunas of Sattwa, Rajas and Thamas).

GOOD CHARACTER
This section will be focussing on implanting a good character in
individuals, as Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba says, Education is for
a good character. Jai Sai Ram
GOOD CHARACTER 27
Embodiments of Love!
You students cannot understand spiritual concepts so easily.
However, if you develop firm faith, you will be able to understand
these things easily. But today people have become blind having lost
the eyes of faith. What is Prema (Love)? You do not know . What is
darkness? Is there anybody today who has seen darkness? Just close
your eyes. What do you see? You reply that you are seeing darkness.
It means that you are able to see and recognize darkness. Otherwise,
how can you say that it is darkness? Therefore, it is established
that there is a basis for everything in this world. In order to
realize the Truth, one has to develop faith. You carry on your
life's journey with firm faith as your guide. You are going
somewhere, unless you know where you are going, how can you reach
your destination? Hence, make a firm resolve that you are going to
the Mandir. Only then can you reach the Mandir. Similarly, first and
foremost, make Atma Tattwa as your goal in life's journey.
BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
ADVICE FOR THE WEEK
This section will give Sathya Sai Baba’s advice to parents,
students and teachers every week.
ADVICE TO STUDENTS
Students are full of love for Swami. They consider Swami as their
mother, father and everything. They address Me as Sai Matha. They
sing, "We are the children of Sai Matha." When they consider Me as
their mother, how can I not respond to their prayers? Hence, I too
shower motherly love on them. Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati (as is the
feeling, so is the result). It is only a reflection of the love they
have for Me. The love that exists between Swami and students is that
of a mother and her children. Let anybody say anything, Swami is
Your mother. I am the mother to those who consider Me as their
mother, father to those who believe I am their father. I respond to
you in accordance with your feelings. Even your own mother cannot
give you as much love as Swami showers on you.
BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
Jai Sai Ram
LOVE FOR ALL EDUCATION
This section will lift education to its highest as Baba says end
of knowledge is Love, and will give messages on love.
Embodiments of Love!
You are not able to understand what real Prema (love) is. You love
the physical body and its beauty. You love wealth. You love the
external form. You love one's outward behavior. Where from do all
these things come? What is the basis for all these aspects? How long
will these external forms remain? All of them undergo changes
continuously. What is the use of clinging to these changing external
forms? You must direct your love to the changeless principle of Atma
Tattwa. The Atma Tattwa does not undergo any change, whatsoever.
Nothing can be added to it nor deleted from it. Therefore, you must
develop firm faith in such a changeless principle. You often say
that you love so and so very much. But, what do you know of him? Do
you love his physical form? Did you develop liking for his behavior?
Do you love his sweet disposition? What is it that has drawn you to
him? In fact, all these factors are only transitory. There is,
however, one quality in you that is responsible for all this. That
is love. That love of God. Love is His form. Hence, you cultivate
love for love's sake. There cannot be life without love. A small
example to illustrate the point. A mother has a son. He is 20 years
old. After sometime, the son died. Then, the mother was wailing over
the body of the son "Oh! Son! I was able to live as long as. you
were alive. How can I live now?" Such type of grief is the result of
attachment of the mother developed towards the physical form of the
son. It is not true love. What is important is love; but not love
for the physical form. It is only those who are able to love for
love's sake, can attain real love. Those who love the physical body
do so as long as the body is present. Thereafter the love ebbs away.
Therefore, love for love's sake. Such love is life. That life is
God. That is Atma Tattwa, verily. Atma Tattwa is the only reality.
