The Sai Teachings

Respect

Many are not prepared to respect their parents. You may ask a question as to why one should respect one’s parents. Always, whatever actions you undertake, the reaction will come to you in the future. It is your duty to respect your parents for all that your parents have done for you. If today, you show respect to your parents, then your children will respect you when you grow up. If you make your parents suffer now, your children will do the same in return to you; and tears will flow from your eyes.

If a student wants to lead a life of security and happiness in the future, he must undertake to lead a good life now. It is the beauty of your heart that is important. It is not the external beauty of the body that matters at all. When you have a pure and clean heart, you will have the strength to cleanse the world.

 

Words of Wisdom 1

Please know that often what feels like the end of the world is simply a challenging pathway to a far better place

Don’t rush things. If something is going to happen, it’ll happen at the right time, with the right person and for the best reason

If your path is more difficult, it is because of your high calling

The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel

Everything that happens to you is your teacher. The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it

Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed and rearranged to relocate us to the place we’re meant to be

Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time

Remember, when you forgive… you heal…

And when you let go… you grow

 

A horse will reflect exactly what you need to see about yourself…

Are you brave enough to ask?

Are you strong enough to listen?

Are you humble enough to learn?

Often a healing takes place in ourselves as we pray for the healing of others

If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities.

If you believe it won’t, you’ll see obstacles.

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step

Practise the Pause

Pause before judging,

Pause before assuming

Pause before accusing

Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll regret later

 

 

The Sai Teachings

A fruitful Life

Are you aware of the grand goal of your pilgrimage on Earth? Do not stray into the by-lanes and wrong roads, they will only lead you to disaster. You put a lot of faith in things outside yourself and plan to derive joy from and through them. Do you not know that all joys emanate only from the spring within you? You merely envelop the outer things with your own joy, and then, you experience it as though it is from that ‘other thing!’

The recognition of your innate Divinity and the regulation of your daily living in accordance with that Truth is the guiding star for every being, who is caught in the currents and crosscurrents of strife and struggle. Without that guiding divine light, life will become a meaningless farce, a mockery, a game of fools. It is the acquisition of that Self-Awareness, which will make your life earnest and fruitful.
