More quotes by Sathya Sai Baba

Image
Virtue is the fragrance of the flowers which the tree of life puts forth. Educated people must be identified in society by their strict adherence to virtue, not by more skilled methods of escaping the consequences of vice.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
The Atma is everywhere.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Truth has to persist unaffected, in the past, present and future. That which is absent in two states, how can it be true.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Forgiveness is Truth itself. It is Righteousness, it is the Veda. It is the supreme virtue in this world.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
We do meditation, spiritual practices in this temporary body. Though this body is temporary, you have to use temporary things to realize the Truth.
Sathya Sai Baba

You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind.
Sathya Sai Baba

Service broadens your vision widens your awareness. Deepens your compassion.
Sathya Sai Baba

You should not cause hurt even by a word, a look or a gesture. Tolerance, fortitude, equanimity - these help you to be steady in ahimsa (absence of violence).
Sathya Sai Baba

You are the Atma. You are permanent. The physical is not permanent. The physical is not the Atma.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Life is a challenge, meet it! Life is a dream, realize it! Life is a game, play it! Life is love, enjoy it!
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
You are still in 100% body con­sciousness. Do not stay with this body conscious­ness. Remove that. What will remain will be Atma-consciousness. Then there will be no anger, no ha­tred, no envy, no jealousy, no hunger, no desire . . . only complete Ananda . . . only bliss, bliss, bliss!
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
People should remain unaffected by what others may say. A true man is one who overcomes the ups and downs of life with fortitude. One should not recoil before reverses of fortunes. One should bravely face them and overcome them.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
My power is immeasurable My truth inexplicable, unfathomable.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Love must express itself as service
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
God has no forms, no limbs, no qualities, no preferences, no prejudices.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Practise any one of the human values. Prema (love) is the basis for all the values. Action with love is right conduct. Speak with love and it becomes truth. Thinking with love results in peace. Understanding with love leads to non-violence. For everything love is primary. Where there is love there is no place for hatred.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Krishna insisted on outer cleanliness and inner cleansing. Clean clothes and clean minds are an ideal combination.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Egoism will be destroyed, if you constantly tell yourself, 'It is He, not I','He is the force, I am but the instrument'. Keep His name always on the tongue, and contemplate His glory whenever you see or hear anything beautiful or grand.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Death happens to the body with which it is associated, with which it mixes. The delusion that the body is the core, that the body is real, that verily is the death.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Cultivate a sweet temper and the sweet speech which is its natural consequence.
Sathya Sai Baba
