NEVER deviate from Truth. Since I recline on Truth, I am called Sathya
Sai; Sayi (as Seshasayi) means reclining. The name is very appropriate, let me
assure you. It is only those, who fail to follow My instructions and deviate
from the path I lay down, that fail to get what I hold out before them.
Follow My instructions and become soldiers in MY army; I will lead you on
to victory. When someone asks you in great earnestness "where the Lord is to be
found", do not try
to dodge the question. Give them the answer that rises up to your tongue
from your heart. Direct them. He is here in Prashanthi Nilayam. All Avatars
teach, as the first step in the long road of "Sadhana", the giving up of
attachment. In the Thretha Yuga, the Yoga-Vasistha taught the same rule. In the
Dwapara Yuga, Krishna taught Arjuna to give up Vishaya-Vasana, attachment to
the objective world. People utter with apparent faith, "Krishna, Krishna,
Krishna", but they never give up "Thrishura" (Thirst) for worldly goods or fame.
In each Yuga, you have the Avatar of the Lord come to redeem, review and
rebuild. At the present time, Maha Shakti, Mayasakthi, and Yogasakthi have come
all together in One Human Form. Your endeavor should be to draw near and earn
Grace therefrom.
