The Sai Teachings


                                                           Wisdom is …

Since ancient times, emphasis has been laid on three aspects of our lives: work, worship, and wisdom. What is wisdom? All that is related to our senses - the fleeting objects of the material world and our actions, speak of our ignorance. Wisdom dawns the moment the mind is withdrawn. The thoughtless state between two consecutive thoughts is Spiritual Wisdom. People are not able to experience this thoughtless state and are carried away by fleeting, ephemeral, and momentary things.

All the knowledge that one acquires is not true knowledge. Knowledge of the Spirit or Soul (Atma) is true knowledge. True wisdom dawns when all thoughts are decimated. However all three of these - work, worship, and wisdom, begin with service. No matter what service it is, if it is done with love and divine feelings, it becomes worship.
