Sai Humor: Words of Wisdom from Swami
[Sathya Sai Baba can take words that we use so casually in everyday
conversations and in His inimitable style, He shows how meaningful these words
can be.]
Puttaparthi: When visiting the ashram to see Baba, He tells us that if we
leave our ego's behind and come with open hearts, He can fill them with love He
has come to give. So when visiting Puttaparthi we should PUT APART THE I.
Properties: are not Proper Ties.
Parents: are given that name, because it is through them that we have the
wonderful chance of life on earth. For the sacrifices that they have made for
us, we must PAY RENTS to them.
Peace: People clamor "I want Peace", But they do not let go of I(ego) or
Want(desire). I and Want deal with the outside world. Peace is inside, pieces
are outside.
Patience: Doctors need more patience, not patients.
Interview: Don't clamor for an interview. Instead search for the INNER
VIEW.
Diamond: Why do you seek a diamond to give you joy? Seek instead the
state of DIE MIND, which will give you pure and lasting joy.
Skill: Knowledge must develop by balance into skill or else it
degenerates into KILL.
Hello: Do not greet anybody when the heart is filled with anger distrust
etc. Have, instead, a pure hollow from which a whole hearted Hello emanates.
Television: is TELE-VISHAM (POISON).
Study: to be STEADY.
