Love, The Main Switch

All bodies are like bulbs, and love is the main switch. Only when the main switch is pressed will the bodies radiate light and happiness to one and all. You are switching off the main switch and trying to enjoy happiness.

It is impossible. Hrid + daya (compassion) = Hridaya (heart). Your heart should be filled with compassion. All your activities should be suffused with love. There is no strength superior to love

--Divine Discourse

Immortality is Nothing But Love

Immortality is nothing but love. Love is nectarous, it is infinite and all bliss. Today people are not making any effort to understand this principle of love.

It is only the power of love that can nullify a curse or a sin. It is only love that can remove all the bitter feelings and enhance the sweetness of life.

-Sathya Sai Baba

Divinity is Everywhere

A deep enquiry into the principles of science and spirituality will reveal that the atom is the basis of everything in this world. Even the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, are all constituted by atoms. But there is something more subtle and fundamental than even the atom. Everything has originated from the Fundamental Principle.

Instead of trying to know the Fundamental Principle, man is getting carried away by trivialities. Subtler than the atom, vaster than the cosmos, Divinity is present everywhere as the eternal witness. Try to experience the principle of the Atma which transcends everything. In order to experience the Atma, you should pursue spiritual education along with secular education.
