In this world, every individual has a mother. But Truth is the mother of the entire humanity. Those who follow this mother will never face any difficulties in life. The worldly mothers are bound by space and time and will have to leave their bodies at one point of time, but Truth is not limited by space and time and remains the same in all the three periods of time. It is the master of all the three worlds. So, everyone must necessarily follow such a noble mother that is Truth.
"Pitha Jnaanam," Wisdom is the father. Wisdom does not mean worldly knowledge. "Advaitha Darshanam Jnaanam," True Wisdom confers the experience of non-dualism. "Dharmo Bhraatha," Dharma is the brother. This brother is the embodiment of Love, and loves the entire humanity, irrespective of caste, creed, nationality and religion. In the great epic Ramayana, Lakshmana personified this principle of Dharma. When he fainted in the battlefield, Rama lamented saying that he could get a consort like Sita, a mother like Kausalya, but not a brother like Lakshmana. Rama said His Divinity blossomed because he had a brother like Lakshmana. "Daya Sakha," Compassion is the true friend. In this world a friend today may become an enemy tomorrow. But, there is no greater friend than Compassion. "Shaantham Pathni," Peace is the wife. This is the precious jewel of saints, and is the royal path in the spiritual field. "Kshama Putraha," Forgiveness is the son. There is no greater quality than forgiveness. It encompasses all the good qualities like Truth, Righteousness, Non-violence and it is the essence of all Vedas. Therefore, for every individual, the true relations are Truth, Wisdom, Righteousness, Compassion, Peace and Forgiveness. The World is bad only due to the Lack of these sacred qualities. - From Bhagawan's Dasara Discourses in 1998. OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE Sai Ram
