In plain words
And Sai means Sa (plus) Āyi: the Divine Mother. Bābā means Father. So Sāibābā means the Divine Mother and Father. In Me are both the qualities of a mother and the qualities of a father. Since these two natures are in Me, this is the form of Śiva-Śakti. Like a mother I fondle; like a father I scold, threaten, punish and chastise, and take you to the right, high place. Worldly parents may have some selfishness, at least: they may think their children will grow up and be their support, or will be their helpers. But this Sai has no such selfishness at all. If some punishment is laid on you, regard that punishment as a protection. To a healthy child the mother serves every kind of food and feeds it. To a sick child she gives bitter medicine to cure the illness; she does not give it sweets. That is, a mother knows whose … she should give, and to give just that. To a mother all her children are just alike; she loves them all just the same. My principle too is exactly that; understand it.
In the world there are atheists and there are believers. When one comes close, the other goes far away. Atheism is like a disease; those who say there is no God are patients suffering from a kind of diabetes. They long to eat sweets, but they do not let sweets come near them. Sweets do not suit that disease; when the illness is cured, they too eat sweets. That is, they come close to God. In the same way, to a malaria patient everything tastes bitter; even sweet things taste bitter. After the fever goes down, he knows the taste of things.
In truth there are no such people as atheists. People become atheists through selfishness. Only the one who does not love himself is an atheist; but who is there like that? So, all of you, contemplating My principle and filling your hearts with Prema. I bless you, hoping that you will attain the sweet Ānanda called Sāyujya.
