Passage 1

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

“Śānti has vanished; Satya itself has grown scarce. The torment of weapons has grown great. Selfishness alone is the root cause of all these evils. The true path: Sai's word.”

“Satya, Dharma, Śānti, Prema and Ahiṃsā are like the five prāṇas to man. Of these five prāṇas, Prema is the most important. So we must keep Prema safe in the human heart.”

Embodiments of Prema!

The culture of Bhārata is endless, beyond compare. All the holy days of Bhārata are filled with endless spiritual inner meanings; they did not come into being for pleasures, amusements and show. To the people of Bhārata all things are worthy of worship. What the eye sees, what the ears hear, what enthrals the mind, what moves the heart: all things are real.

The Social Justice of Bhārata

For the people of Bhārata, from the stone to the gem, from the bird to the pārijāta, from the ant to the elephant, from the unlettered man to the paramahaṃsa, all things teach the supreme principle. With this in view, mahāvākyas such as “Sarvaṃ khalvidaṃ Brahma”, “Sarvaṃ Viṣṇumayaṃ jagat” and “Īśāvāsya midaṃ sarvaṃ” have been teaching the supreme Satya. The social justice of the people of Bhārata is not found in any other land. The people of Bhārata have a broad nature that does not limit Divinity and the principle of Prema to human beings alone, but spreads them through all living beings. Ignorant people who cannot recognise so sacred a culture mock the people of Bhārata. They talk in ridicule, saying that the people of Bhārata worship stones and rocks, trees and hills. To see multiplicity in unity is natural to man. But within the culture of Bhārata lies the supreme principle that brings one to recognise the unity within multiplicity.
