Most of you will surely boast that you have been visiting Puttaparthi
since twenty years or that you have made the place your permanent residence;
but, unless you follow the lessons I have been saying all the years that boast
is nothing but empty and hollow. If you develop love for all beings, in the
faith that God resides in all, you may be anywhere else, but your prayers would
reach Me and My Grace will reach you.
While in My previous body, I told Nanashab that I am in ants, insects and
animals, besides all men. When a dog ate all offerings intended for Baba, it
was declared to
have reached Baba, for he had eaten it in that form. "Nana says, he is
giving Me food, but when I go in the form of a dog, he drives Me off". Follow
what I say wherever you are in the world, if you do then Iam near you always,
Iam there always where my Words are followed.
- From Bhagawan's Maha Shivarathri Discourse in 1979
