In plain words
Whatever land you go to, it is Your name, be sure of it: ‘Sathya Sāī Īśa’, in daily recitation; in whatever town you look, it is this name, be sure of it: ‘Sathya Sāī’, in daily japa; from whatever lips you hear it, it is this name, be sure of it: ‘Sāī Rāma’, in the japa of Satya; wherever you look, it is this name, be sure of it: ‘Sathya Sāī’, in daily bhajan. He who thus pervades the whole universe and shines forth, who stands as the refuge of the devotees, the One full of power, who grants Bhakti and protects: why would He who dwells in Parthi not lift you up?
Devotees! Workers striving for the establishment of Dharma! You whose nature is sacrifice, intent on action for the peace and the welfare of the world! Propagators of Dharma! It is truly a joyful occasion when so many people from every country in the world gather here and receive Ānanda. It is clear that so many thousands have assembled in this Prasanthi Nilayam only because there is some void, some deep anguish, in the heart of humankind. When you are in full health there is no need to go to the doctors for an examination, or to the hospitals for medicine. Everyone has gathered here precisely because there is some fault, some lack. Otherwise this gathering would not take place. Really, why have you gathered in this Prasanthi Nilayam? Not merely to spend two days in pleasant talk with members you know and with others you do not know. I know that you have all come in order to gain some new and splendid power here and take it away with you.
Is daily experience true? Is the state of nature true?
Knowingly or unknowingly, certain problems keep troubling man. Man's life begins with sunrise and goes on until he sleeps at night. It goes this same way for every living being. But does the sun have a rising and a setting? We use the words: rising when the sun comes into our sight, setting when it vanishes from view, east for the quarter where it appears and west for the quarter where it is hidden; but on the round earth there are in truth no quarters of east and west, and none of south and north. Even after we have recognised this truth, we keep saying that the sun has risen when it comes into our sight and has set when it goes out of sight, and we keep marking the quarters; taking daily experience alone as our basis, we give up the truth. But the experience of life is one thing, and what is, is another. Here is a small example of this. When the bench we are sitting on moves, we move too. When it turns, we turn too.
