Sri Sathya Sai Baba Quotes

«You are happy, that you have come on a pilgrimage here, but let Me tell you one thing, unless you control the stream of desire that springs in the mind, this is just a wasted opportunity. If your wish is fulfilled, you revere Me; if it is not, you revile Me. That is how Desire debases you.»
«When one wish is fulfilled, ten rise in its place. For there is no dearth of want.»
«Engage yourselves rather in things that will make you immortal and serve your best interests by service to the World !»
«If you identify yourselves with the body that you carry about with you, you are inviting sorrow and suffering to overwhelm you instead of the joy and peace which are awaiting to bless you.»
«The experience of this one life must be enough to show you that there is no joy unmixed with grief, that both grief and joy are short-lived and they both depend on the mind and its control. You do not require the experience of a series of lives to grasp this patent fact.»
«This World is keeping you in bondage; it is a prison from which you must get released; and you should not plan to return to it again and again.»
«Man thinks himself that he knows everything but, when asked about himself, he hangs down his head in shame.»
«Faith in the God within is the toughest shield against the thrusts of Fate.»
«When you do not accept the insult some one casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it first; a registered letter that is not accepted returns to the sender.»
«Do not damage your mental peace by receiving the letter and reading the contents. Refuse to receive it. You have a chance of correcting the wrong-doers too; accept it and join the gang of mischief-makers. So be warned!»
