Letter from Bhagwan to soldiers of Sai

[Guest guest]

Sai to you. The need of the hour is not to picture life as garden of happiness

and romantic love, but to hold it out as a battlefield meant to be lived as an

ideal of heroism and courage. In the present circumstances, a play with words

would be of no use at all. By obtaining mere degrees, we can make neither your

motherland glow with glory nor can you blossom forth yourselves. Seeking Truth,

you should transform yourselves into great devotees, lovers of GOD and be ready

for any supreme sacrifice including laying down life itself. Bidding goodbye to

all selfishness and Self-interest, making Divine Love as the bow and Wisdom as

the arrow, you should forth as heroic students, placing your faith in the

transcendental Truth and GOD. You should know that you are born to achieve

great and stupendous tasks in life. You are the children of GOD. Heroes in

action, great soldiers in the age of Kali, full of compassion and Divine Love

and resolved to make Divinity resound with success in the world. This is not

the time for rest and sleep. The future emergence of a glorious new Bharath is

dependent upon you. the mother is awaiting your arrival on the scene. If the

morality of Bharath is destroyed, the world will sink into utter ruin. If the

spirituality of a Bharath suffers and setback, it will be to the determent to

the rest of the world. The unity and the integrity of the nation would suffer a

setback. The morality of Bharath is its sweet experience of Divine Love. the

love for GOD should saturate and flow as the very life-blood. Hearts should

fill and overflow with waves of idealism. Do not become slaves of external life

and education and destroy the small saplings of spirituality in your heart light

the lamps of Truth and dispel all weakness in your heart. you are messengers of

GOD and not servants of the Lord of Death. Establish the Kingdom of devotion.

Earn the love of GOD. Develop spiritual knowledge along with worldly education.

Love based on gunas suffers modifications. Make that transcendental Love as your

own goal in the life. Do not become slaves of low desires and feelings. Make

spirituality as your dwelling place. Every object in creation is transient. It

is only the Bliss of Atma, which is inexhaustible. Strive to attain it. Only

through Love of GOD can you attain such bliss and develop it into full

fruition. The inner significance of ‘Krishna Tulaa Bhaara’ is to show that all

the

wealth of the world, with all its gold and diamonds, cannot match GOD. It is

only Divine Love, which is equal to Him. Foster such devotion in your hearts.

Most of you have not understood the principles that Swami embodies, nor can you

comprehend. Understand Sai’s Love. you cannot trace any selfishness in any

corner of Sai. Whatever He does, is for your sake. There is nothing in the

world, which Sai needs. Camphor is white as also the celestial cow, Stars are

white and also the wings of a swan, And so is the sweet smile of beautiful Sai,

Even the wine, is the love of Sai. The Love of Sai is more soothing and

comforting than the sight of a beautiful flower or the sweet smile of an

innocent child. Sai’s word can confer all joy, happiness and prosperity on the

world Sai’s look can shower the delight of the rain of the paarijaatha flower

Sai’s Hand can confer the comfort of a loving mother’s

hand. This alone is for your joy and welfare - the conferer of Love. I expect

from you only one thing, that you should transform yourselves into ideal

children full of Bliss, the very embodiments of Atma, proving all this to the

world by your behavior and conduct in life. That alone is True Education. All

other types of education are only its limbs and parts. What happiness did the

Demon Somakasura enjoy, stealing the sacred scriptures and abusing Hari? What

did the ten-headed Ravana carry with him, seeking the wife of another person?

By how much did Duryodana gain by denying even an inch of space to Pandavas?

Could Kamsa, who vengefully and watchfully killed the innocent children of his

sister, save

himself from death? Even today that would be the fate of people, who are opposed

to Dharma. What more can I convey to you? Recognising his Truth, carefully

follow the proper path and conduct yourselves accordingly. Sai, The Resident of

your heart. 23.9.1988
