TRUTH

 

With perfect detachment a slightly new twist may be

give even to truth in modern exigencies. Truth is the

first definition of God. There is no reality greater

than truth. Truth and penance purify the mind as

nothing else can. With the mind cleansed, control of

the senses becomes comfortable and the revelation of

the Brahman inside follows as a matter of course.

 

We do not harm others by our untruth as much as we do

ourselves. By appearing to the outside world what we

really are not inside, we only cause the most serious

loss to our own spiritual up lift.

 

If we make truth our life principle and follow it

steadfastly, it irons out many oddities in our

character. For instance, suppose a person commits

adultery. He is afraid of confessing it in public or

before his wife. But if he is most resolutely wedded

to truth, he never allows himself to become guilty of

that sin at any time for fear that he will have to

tell a lie about it in future.

 

Like this, sticking to truth unswervingly, he can cure

himself of anger, greed, jealousy, etc. with the

eradication of all such frailities, the human rises to

the level of the divine, which again is infinitely

superior to all the material advantages that accrue to

him by leading a life of falsehood.

 

But inspite of all this, it has unfortunately become

the irony of the modern times, that truth is proving

suicidal to the person adopting it as an article of

faith in his life. A strict adherent to truth is

thrown out of the picture very often, in business,

politics, society and power.

 

In such extreme cases, and that too as a very rare

concession to the treacherous conditions in which he

is obliged to live, a by pass to truth may be

permitted. That is, he may then utter as little

untruth as is absolutely necessary, with the

detachment of a paid executioner towards the victim,

but that mental discipline is perhaps more difficult

to acquire than desisting from falsehood.

2. SAI'S NEWS FROM THE TIME MACHINE:

 

March 1917- (Holi). Baba appeared to Hemadripanth in

dream and said that he would come for meals that day

and finally he arrived in the form of a picture.

 

March 1988- Swami Ram Baba a noted devotee associated

with Baba left his mortal coil at Bombay.

3. SAI IN DREAMS:

http://www.ettitudemedia.com

 

These are the dream sequences and messages as received

by SaiBaNiSaji From our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF

SHIRIDI. In Anticipation that this feature will help

in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled from his

personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS.

 

Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY.

I prayed Baba to grant me with the energies to be on

the right path always. Sai had shown the following

visual:

 

The people imprison the goddess of the Truth and

wisdom. Break the shackles and work for their freedom

with tactful intelligence.

 

Exercise restraint in exhibiting charity. Even wife

need not be informed. Then only the inner strength

grows.

 

Observe selectivity in all other matters of charities

except in feeding the hungry.

 

Be truthful and realistic in charities.

 

30-01-1995

 

I was feeling inferior and disappointed, as I was not

able to speak in better language during Satsanghs. Sai

appeared in the form of an unknown person and said-

 

A man dresses up well and applies all sorts of

perfumes before he steps out to satiate his sensual

pleasures. Whereas devotion is mainly linked with the

heart. We cannot decorate the heart for the purpose,

but the heart can be synchronized with the time and

situation to experience the underlying bliss. Devotion

thus helps in bridging the gap between the soul and

the God. Here there is no language barrier involved. A

hungry person needs food and the sick one needs

medicine, so also devotion needs the proper bent of

mind.

 

Content is more important than the language.
