In plain words
How will You speak on that day?” said Srinivasan (President of the All India Sri Sathya Sai Organisations), in great distress.
I said: “If I think this is My body, I will have this pain. This is not My body; it is your body. All your bodies are Mine. So I take on all your sufferings. That is My duty. This body is not Mine. So I do not heed it. Not only now; whenever any pain comes, I do not heed it. In this way I experience every matter and then teach it to you. My life is My message.”
But there are some things I cannot speak of in public. I have never liked to advertise Myself. What is Mine is yours; what is yours is Mine. From foot to head I have no desires of any kind. My one and only desire is to give you joy. There is no greatness in merely teaching. To practise and then teach is the mark of a teacher. So I practise and experience every small thing before I give it to you.
Young men and women! The name given to this body is Satya. See this Satya in everyone. Only then can you attain divinity. Satya is God. Prema is God. Make your life full of Prema. Then you can have Ānanda beyond measure.
