Sai Baba Gita - The Light of Wisdom dispels the Darkness of Ignorance

[Guest guest]

The Light of Wisdom dispels the Darkness of Ignorance

You have forgotten the fundamental unity of all beings. You have become

unmindful of the divine basis of all things. You have lost sight of the atma,

your real self. It is because of this ignorance that you experience so much

grief and sorrow. If you want to be free of this darkness of ignorance, you

have to obtain the light of wisdom. The only thing that can remove darkness is

light. Similarly, the only thing that can remove ignorance is wisdom or

spiritual knowledge. Ignorance has covered the knowledge of divinity and you

are not able to perceive the truth. Just as the embers of a fire are covered by

ashes, your light of truth has been covered by the ashes of ignorance and,

therefore, you have not been aware of your own reality.

You may have the power of sight in your eyes but if there is a cataract covering

the surface of your eyes, you will not be able to see. It is only after an

operation is performed that you will be able to get your sight back. Similarly,

it is only after a spiritual operation is performed and the cloud of ignorance

is removed, that the sun of wisdom will shine freely. It is just like the sun's

rays beaming into a room the moment you pull back the heavy drapes covering the

window. The principle of divinity exists in everyone, so it is impossible for

any person to be completely devoid of wisdom. There is no doubt whatsoever

that, in time, the clouds of ignorance will be dispelled for all of humanity

and the full light of wisdom will shine forth. All will realize their divine

state.

When human life is infinitely expanded it becomes the one divine principle. Man

plus infinity is divinity. When the human mind is expanded to infinity it

becomes the divine mind, it becomes the creative principle which brought forth

this universe. The atma, the self in man, and the divinity that dwells within

him, are one and the same. Add infinity onto yourself and you become the

divinity itself. You will have merged into the atma. Unfortunately, having

become embodied, you have forgotten your divinity, your unlimited infinity. You

are aware only of your limited individuality. If you want to attain your

infinite reality, you must make an inquiry into the divinity which is inherent

within you.
