Q : Is there no escape from human misery?
 
Swami : It is all karma. The need is to adopt the path of  righteousness. One 
should surrender oneself to the  Almighty. 
 
Q : Why do you perform miracles like materialising a  ring, a medallion, a 
necklace, vibhuti and other  objects? What are you trying to prove by  
performing these miracles?
 
Swami : Chamatkaar or miracle is a cheap word for what I  do. A magician 
performs his tricks to earn a  livelihood and worldly fame. But, I materialise  
these talismans as my visiting cards, as evidence  that divinity can transform 
earth into the sky and  vice versa. To doubt this is to betray an inability  to 
grasp the grandeur of the universe. I get lot of  satisfaction while gifting 
these talismans to my  devotees.  The suffering millions flock to you. They 
want to  pass on their problems and suffering to you. How  much of these 
suffering can you take on?  I am only performing a divine mission.
 
Q : You are the chancellor of the Sathya Sai University  and you attach 
tremendous importance to  education. Why do you think that education in  India 
has now become a mechanical exercise?
 
Swami : This is because that education has been divorced  from values. 
Education bereft of values is  meaningless. The need is to restore values to  
education.
