Conversations with Sathya Sai Baba

By Dr. John HislopBirth Day Publishing Company; (May 1, 1979)168 pages; ISBN: 0960095853

Dr. Hislop is the first President of the Sathya Sai Baba Council of America, and

is recognized as having more face-to-face conversations with Sai Baba than any

other Westerner. This is a direct account of talks which occurred over a period

of more than 10 years.

 

 

In this remarkable book, the former president of the American Sathya Sai Baba

Organization asks Swami many of the questions you've always wanted to ask,

including: what prevents us from seeing the truth; the limit of one's

responsibility; how can one develop love?; what does 'surrender to the Lord'

mean; how does one get devotion to God; what is the short cut to

self-realization; how does one determine the dharma (right action) appropriate

to oneself; what does Swami see when he looks at us; and hundreds of additional

questions. The dialogues, taken from 10 years of interviews, are presented in an

easy-to-read question-and-answer format. The book provides valuable insight into

our own lives, and Swami's answers are sometimes unexpected but always sweet,

profound, and deeply illuminating.

Foreword

 

The questions and answers included here date from January, 1968, through

February, 1978. The first two interviews were taped and are reproduced in full.

Thereafter, notes were made from memory immediately after each conversation. The

questions asked make no pretence of being profound. The answers, however, come

directly from Truth and may illumine the understanding of the greatest scholar

or the most practiced yogi. Devotees are aware how infrequent and difficult to

secure are conversations with Bhagawan; for this reason, a decision was made to

publish the notebook. Except for the two taped interviews, questions and answers

are not in chronological order. Definitions of all Sanskrit and Telegu words are

provided in the Glossary at the end of the book.
