Four Divine Letters to Students

[Guest guest]

I suppose all the hostel boys are happy? Is the discipline being properly maintained? Exercise some control in regard to your thoughts, words and actions and understand and carry out SAI's command, work hard and study with interest.

Do not let down your parents and their hopes and expectations but strive to make them happy. Studying in SAI's college, staying in SAI's nilayam and being frequently in SAI's company, you should feel SAI's presence everywhere. It is only when you understand and assimilate SAI's ideals of living that SAI's Grace is showered on you. In my presence you display utmost obedience and reverence, but in my physical absence, you indulge in careless and vulgar actions.

You may think that they are for your good but the truth is not hidden from Me. Understand that SAI is present (resides) in your heart; it is SAI's wishes and not yours. That should be materialized in your actions, it is understood that you don't believe that SAI resides in your heart.SAI is your Thaai, Maai, Aayi. So, do not give place to any ill feelings but conduct yourselves towards one another as brothers do. Convey my blessings to allBaba1 DEC 1971---------------------Dear Boys,How are you all? Are you pursuing the same old habits or has there been any change? Has there been any acquisition of noble ideas and ideals? In winnowing, the dry outer coverings are removed from the grain. Similarly, you should also separate and isolate the seeds of bad thoughts and emotions from the good and

healthy ones.

Let not the seeds of bad thought sprout anywhere near you. At least from this Sankranthi day onwards, live up to the word you've given to Swami and walk along the flowery path shown by SAI. Receive in full SAI's Grace and Love. Lead your life with good thoughts, good inclinations and good ideals. Strive to attain the fruits of your studies. SAI is your 'Hridayasthaayi'. SAI is the One who grants your wishes. It is this SAI, who is your Thaai: SAI MOTHER.Blessings to All,SwamiJANUARY 1972SANKRANTHI---------------------To All Hostel Boys!How are you? You are very happy because I am not there. No, no, I am here, there and everywhere. Swami is Love. Love is Swami. Therefore, Love is there. There are two kinds of love. One is called Personal love and the other is called Impersonal. Personal love

relates to the physical part of the being and Impersonal to the spiritual part. Life is intended to practice Impersonal love, because this Love is revealed in your heart and then you realize wonderful universal truth, spirit or existence, which is called God.To devote yourself to Swami in order to realize Him means shedding your individual sense and knowing that you are Universal Truth and spirit. This is possible only when you transcend the individual sense or the ego sense in you. The ego sense is the cause of your unhappiness, bondage and misery in the world.'SAI KRISHNA' through Geetha has asked you to surrender yourself to the Divine completely and be free from the ego sense. When the ego sense is eliminated you shall have the universal vision and based upon that vision you love all alike. God is love and He dwells in love. In one who dwells in God, God dwells in him. God as love is dwelling in your hearts and therefore, the

Kingdom of Heaven is within you. When you realize this truth in the freshness and beauty of the Immortal Spirit. Let thy life sing with the music of love.With Blessings,Baba11 JULY 1972--------------------Dears!Little knowledge is a dangerous thing making one conceited, it causes his downfall. Ego is the root cause of all troubles. Realizing is resting. Laziness is rusting. Is it not the truth?Surrender of the disciple and blessings of the Swamiji (God) smoothens the path of self-realization. Life without Swamiji is like a boat without a rudder. Churning the mind with self-inquiry gives the cream of Knowledge. Love is the manifestation of self-illumined.. Like water in a reversed pot, the spiritual knowledge does not enter the mind pot. Man's heart is the temple of the Divine. Don't inflame it

with ideas of mine and thine."Time lost is life lost". Doing one's duty however small, in an unattached manner gives rise to the awakening of self-awareness. Ego is limiting and pushing one into darkness. Truth is a flame of life, trying to reach the peak of attainment! The angry do not go to hell but inflame hell fire wherever they are. Water does not stay in the basket. Wisdom does not stay in the mind passionate. Mind is like a dog, wanders without any objective...This is My LoveWith Blessings,Baba17 JULY 1972
