Who Am I?

Sai Baba in 1989 Develop faith in God. All names are His - Rama, Krishna, Christ or any other. Every man is the embodiment of the Divine. True human relations can grow only when this truth is understood. The first stage to Realisation is when you accept, "I am in the Light." Next you perceive and declare, "The Light is in me" and finally you realize, "I am the Light." 'I' represents love and 'light' represents Jnana (Supreme Wisdom).

You are not connected with any nation or culture. You are not in any way related to the things of this world. You are not perceivable by the gross or the subtle senses. You are the witness of these. You are the immortal self, the universal consciousness. Concepts of right or wrong, vice or virtue, doing or enjoying, pleasure or pain are all of the mind. They are not of you.
