"Your mission has begun...each of you has a unique and valuable part to play...

Utilize the chance of associating with me as much as possible, and endeavor

as quickly and as best you can, to follow the directions that I have been

giving. Obeying my instructions is enough: it will benefit you more than

the most rigorous ascetism. Practice these things -- truth, righteousness,

peace, and love -- which are dear to me. Resolve to keep these ideals before

you always, in all your thoughts, words, and deeds. That can confer on you

the bonus of mergence in the Supreme Substance of Divinity."

 

The Bhagavan Swami Sri Sathya Sai Baba, "the Baba," May 17, 1968

 

When the Golden Age dawns, there will be harmony throughout the world

and Love will flow everywhere. Today, you cannot visualize such a state

because there is chaos everywhere, fighting, scheming, hatred, evil, all the

negative emotions are on the rise. Eventually, change will come. Today,

the seeds are still in the ground, slowly germinating, as the teachings of

the Lord begin to spread throughout the world and infiltrate the mind

of man. Soon those seeds will begin to grow, and what emerges will

brighten the world as the beauty of absolute Truth begins to reach many

people. It is a process which takes time, and the new Golden Age will

evolve gradually. Let the Divinity within shine forth and become one of the

beacons to light up the world and hasten the arrival of the new age. It is

there now for some, those enlightened souls who have already reached the

state of God-realization. It is that awakened state that will lead to the

new Golden Age.

 

My Dear Children!

 

Awake! Awake! Awake! There is no time for slumber. You have been asleep

and dreaming for thousands of years. If you do not awake now, this chance

may not come again for thousands more.

 

Come with Me. Separation is no longer the order of the day. I separated

Myself from Myself so that I could love Myself more. The experience is

finished. I want all of Myself to return and merge with Me, the One Self.

 

I gave many of you the advantage of an unhappy childhood, including conflict

and separation from mother or father. In doing this I removed from you the

temptation to become attached to human parents or to a specific family

situation. That left you with only one option: to attach yourself to Me.

 

Why do you not avail yourself of this opportunity instead of continually

seeking relationships which can never satisfy you? Even if your childhood

had been as idyllic as you would have liked, it is not your mothers love

that you need. Ultimately, it is not even the love of His name and form

that you long for. Your deepest, innermost urge is to return to your

Self -- to become the being, awarenesss, and bliss which is all you have

ever really been. Let go of the past. Stop trying to get from each other

what you still think you missed in childhood or marriage. You will never

find anyone who is enough...not even Me!

 

LOVE YOURSELF! KNOW YOURSELF! Only You will ever be enough.

Can you not love your Self because I have done so over and over again?

Did I not virtually move heaven and earth to bring you to Me?

Remember that I love you, and love your Self. - Baba

 

Excerpt, the Sai Baba's message of July 27, 2002:

 

Earlier Swami mentioned a devotee who was praying to God for peace and

bliss. However, modern man has limitless desires. Though he may have

plenty, still he wants more. What is the use of having plenty if it is not

put to good and sacred use? Sacred use does not mean giving money

indiscriminately to anyone who asks. You should help only deserving

people. Observing your giving nature, many people may run after you, if

you give to anyone without discrimination -- that becomes a misuse of money,

and it is a mistake to do so. You should discern if the cause is good or

bad, right or wrong, and give only for good causes. Then the purpose is

fulfilled...

 

You may face some difficulties, losses, and sorrows in life, but you should

not worry about them. Consider that they are good for you . When you have

difficulties, say, "This is good for me. This is good for me. God has

given these troubles and difficulties for my own good." Do not be troubled

or disappointed. Your disappointment is an appointment for me. If you

develop these good feelings, you will have bliss. If you can experience

depression from disappointment, even God will not come close to you. If

you consider disappointment as a gift from God, then He will come to you

and relieve you of your difficulties. Every Sai devotee should lead a blissful

life.

 

Baba's Christmas messages, an excerpt:

 

Jesus exhorted everyone to observe the basic, valid teachings of the ancient

scriptures and to derive peace and joy therefrom. However, the Jewish

people held the rituals and regulations laid down by the prophets in the

scriptural texts as valid for all time. Therefore, they held the teachings

of Jesus as wrong. They were not moved by personal hatred toward Jesus.

 

This problem arises in every age --- the conflict between the letter and the

spirit; between the doctrines that are held sacred and the formula that is

held holy; between the various do's and don'ts that have to be scrupulously

followed, and the underlying truth. In the Vedic faith also, one finds

today this conflict between the upholders of ancient tradition and the

promoters of deeper understanding. The latter have also based their

teachings on the Vedas.

 

The best way to resolve these confusions and conflicts that hamper moral,

ethical, material, technological, and spiritual progress is for people

to live fully spiritual lives --- as they ought to. Then they can rise to

the height of the Divinity within, which is the true reality. This is the

one, eternal, universal teaching. The thoughts that the intellect frames

must be reflected in the mind and translated into action. Thought, word,

and deed must be coordinated; they must fulfill one another.

The characteristic of a holy person is: one mind, one word, and one act.

The three are one -- not different.

 

Christmas means the mass held on the birthday of Christ. It is

fundamentally a sacred, religious rite. To treat the day as a festival

only for drinking, dancing, or eating is wrong. Christmas day should

be spent in prayer -- not merely this day, but cultivate the sadhana

(spiritual discipline) of prayer as an habitual way of life.

 

THE MISSION:

 

"Your mission has begun. Those are my words to you, my devotees,

each of you has a unique and valuable part to play in this lifetime.

Only those whom I have called can serve me" -- Bhagawan Baba

 

My mission has now reached that point in time when each one of you now has

work to do. This planet has a purpose in the great galaxy in which it is

held. That purpose is now unfolding before our eyes. I call upon you to

radiate the Bhakthi [Devotion] within you so that its unseen power will

envelop all who come into your orbit.

 

To successfully perform your part, always remain centered upon Me. Allow

yourself to impart that purity of heart within you toward all human beings

and all living creatures and do not reach for the fruits of your work.

 

This part of My mission is performed in absolute silence. You are My

instruments from whom My Love will pour. Be always aware that the moment

you let your ego descend upon you, my work ceases. When you have overcome

your negative unmindfullness, you will again become My Source.

 

The multiplication of My Love will be felt throughout the world. I have

prepared you for this work...I have drawn you to Me...I have made great

steps in My mission...My work is ceaseless and so your work too, is without

end.

 

Know that I am within you and without you . There is no difference. Rid

yourself of petty matters forevermore. You are now Me and I am now thee.

There is no difference. My Darshan [the Blessing of seeing a holy person,

"in person"] will pour forth from Me to and through you . You may be

unaware of this constant action.

 

Be ever pure of heart and soul and mankind in your lifetime will benefit

from your unique qualities. Others, too, will join Me in this mission

when I draw them to Me. The time is approaching when all of humanity will

live in harmony. That time will be here sooner than one expects. Before

it arrives be prepared for whatever is needed to reveal to every living

thing the true purpose of existence.

 

It is not what anyone alive can imagine. It is not something that one can

try to aspire to. It is beyond all comprehension. I can say that its

beauty is magnificent beyond all dreams. And as each of you perform

your silent work I embrace you to My heart and henceforth your souls

shall be lifted up and your eyes will reveal My Presence within.

 

This I say to all My devotees, from the Lord's Mountain Top where all the

universes become one.

 

Be about My Work, My beloved Bhakthas [Devotees].

Your breath will carry the scent of the Blossoms of Heaven.

Your example will be that of Angels. Your joy will be My Joy.

 

--Bhagawan Baba
