Sai Baba - Peace in the World


People talk of world peace. But how can you ensure peace in the world? Here is the formula for it.

“If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.”

It may thus be seen that the first link in the chain leading to world peace is righteousness or dharma. Dharma is only another name for right action. But the prerequisite for right action is right thought. In other words, peace should start with the individual and gradually spread wider and wider right along the line - from the home or family to the village to the nation, etc., till finally, it encompasses the entire world.

Sai Baba - the Prayer of Surrender

That is to say that when you worry that a situation has not had the desired outcome, you thus demonstrate that you do not believe

Sai Baba - Seema Dewan's Letter of 3rd May 2011

God is omniscent,omnipotent and omnipresent..........The energy of God pervades all of this universe ............. Every speck........every atom is born from Him.....remains in Him.....and returns to Him.This is the law of existence and all beings and nature follow the rule.

He exists as Universal Consciousness and in it He has placed the Word of Truth and whoever is able to even receive a tiny bit of the sweet honeyed love in that truth basks in bliss.

Prayer is a voice of one's self that speaks to the depth of ones soul.When love for the Divine preceeds all other desire......then from that comes a two way conversation in which ones conciousness asks and one receieves in vibrational energy the answers in which are revealed Higher truths............ You can call God by any name that pleas
