In plain words
However many arts one learns, however much one reads, it serves only to fill the belly and leads no further; can learning that knows not the secret of this doll of clay carry you to the Beyond? Ask for the Tattva, and the cinema has gone to their heads; all that was right has turned to wrong in society; in Bhakti, all has turned into centres of cleverness; the word that tells Satya is the word of Śrī Sathya Sai.
Embodiments of Prema!
Sahasra śīrṣāḥ puruṣaḥ sahasrākṣa sahasra pāt. All the heads, all the eyes, all the feet are His. Every living being is a reflection of the Paramātma. This Prakṛti is the very form of the Mother. In this world there is not a single thing that is not the Paramātma. All objects are forms of the Paramātma. Viśvaṃ viṣṇusvarūpam. This world is the vast individual form of God. Man sees God in the form of Prakṛti, and still he grieves that God has not appeared to him. To look on God’s form as Prakṛti and think one has not seen God: this is the great folly. In the world man sees things with many names and forms. All of these, man believes to be no more than separate forms. But he makes no effort to recognise the principle of Satya. He takes Prakṛti, which is eternally real, to be untrue, and believes that what is real is something or other, somewhere in this unreal world.
In this world there are not two things, one that is real and another that is untrue. Through a fault of vision man sees one and the same thing as many. When a seed is planted in the earth, that seed lets its own form decay and grows into a great tree. In this tree the many branches, twigs, leaves, flowers and fruits show themselves to us with many names and forms. But only when we recognise the truth that the seed which is the basis of these different forms is one, do we understand the truth of ‘Ekaṃ sat viprā bahudhā vadanti’. What exists is one alone; yet many experience it through many forms and many names.
