Spirituality is generally considered to be an abstruse subject, and rather
divorced from everyday life. But, Bhagawan who is the fountainhead of all
knowledge and wisdom has presented the profound knowledge enshrined in the
scriptures of the world in simple and easily comprehensible terms that can be
grasped and practiced by anyone irrespective of age, gender, faith and
nationality.
Ever since He declared His Divine Identity and Mission at the tender age of
14, Bhagawan has tirelessly been engaged in teaching and transforming an erring
humanity. Though Bhagawan's teachings are primarily concerned with
spirituality,
it also extends to other spheres of human knowledge and activity. These
teachings of Bhagawan, primarily in the form of His Divine Discourses delivered
to varied groups of audiences in various places over the past several decades
since 1953, have been compiled in several volumes of 'Sathya Sai Speaks'.
Apart from this, Bhagawan had also written series of articles for the magazine
'Sanathana Sarathi' that were compiled and published as the 'Vahini' series.
The undercurrent of all of Bhagawan's teachings is the principle of love. He
has often stated that the essence of all His teachings is contained in the
simple yet powerful canons - "Love All, Serve All. Help Ever, Hurt Never".
