In plain words
He who bears every form, the Peaceful; He who bears every name, the Auspicious; Existence, Awareness and Bliss, the One without a second: Satyaṃ, Śivaṃ, Sundaraṃ!
Embodiments of Prema! So many people describe Sai's power, Sai's Satya, Sai's Prema and Sai's Śānti in so many ways. But are they truly putting Sai's message into practice? They are not. That is exactly why I have cut down My speaking of late. All are speakers only; those who practise what they speak are nowhere to be seen. What use is it to teach any number of things to those who do not practise? Devotees today read spiritual books, learn by heart what is in them and teach it to others. But they themselves do not put it into practice. What is the use of teaching others, however much, without practising? Speeches learnt by heart bring only a dry throat; they do nothing for the welfare of the world.
Embodiments of Prema! Many people expound the spiritual principle in many ways. But the spiritual principle is not something words can catch. Merely listening to spiritual teachings does not make one's birth fruitful; practice alone is the right way to that.
Good and bad, both are God's decisions!
Those were the days when the Mahābhārata war was being fought. Abhimanyu came to his mother Subhadrā and begged her for leave and for her blessings to enter the Padmavyūha. He knew only the way into the Padmavyūha; he did not know the way out. So Subhadrā tried to persuade him that it was not the right time to go to the battlefield: “My son! My blessing needs God's will to go with it too. Everything happens according to God's will alone.
