Golden words of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba - 19.

19. Divine Principle

 

We generally consider Pratyaksha Pramaana (proof of direct perception) as the most important type of evidence. We are able to see our body. Thus we know that it exists. Anumaana or inference is another form of proof. We see smoke on the top of a distant hill. We infer from the smoke that there must be a fire on that hill. Although we see only the smoke, we infer that there is fire. To infer the existence of the 'unseen' from the presence of what is 'seen' is Anumaana Pramaana (inferential proof). But, these methods of determining facts are applicable only to the external universe. For determining the Divine Principle, we must depend only on the Shabdha Pramaana (proof of the words) of the Vedas.

 

The true dwelling place of God is the heart of man. You don’t need to go in search of God. Not being able to recognize your innate divinity is Ajnana (ignorance). You have to enquire into the reason for this ignorance. This is mainly because you follow the Pravritthi Marga (outward path) all your life under the influence of the sense organs, which are drawn towards external objects. You are not making any effort to follow the Nivritthi Marga (inward path). Thus, you are fully engrossed in the outward activities and are completely neglecting the inward path. You see everything from a worldly point of view and do not recognize the Divinity that pervades it. You have to make an effort to change your vision from outward to inward to perceive this Divinity.

HariOm

why we do not see inside as there is Andehra,it is like this that a old maa was searching something out side on road where light was available.some body asked maa what are you searching? reply was my needle is lost .the man asked where it is lost ? she told in the house,the man again asked why are searching here instead at house ?maa replied there is no light.the same thing is with us .we search God outside in Mandir ,in Tirath like Hardwar etc.if we remove darkness of our inside & we remove all unwanted waste from there We can find God inside our self.No need to go outside for search.
