Some good news to share: 1.

Our school stands 8th at All India level. 2. A total of 14 students are going to receive a scholarship of Rs. 80,000/- per year for the next 5 years from the Ministry of Science Technology, Government of India. We are proud to announce that these 14 students from Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, belong to the top 1% of the entire student community of the country as per the recent results. 3. A total of 25 teachers from Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, Prasanthi Nilayam received “Personalized Certificates of Appreciation” from Smt.Smriti Irani, Minister, Human Resource Development, Government of India, for their excellence in Service. As a sample the letter received by Mr. B. Surendranath is enclosed herewith. Please do share this with everyone! Once in an interview given to a student, everything happened the same way, except for one. After closing the door behind, instead of asking 'emi samacharam (what’s the news?), Swami thundered: “How long will you go behind this body of Mine?... How long will you cage Me in this physical body? Learn to see the Unseen Force that is driving this body itself.” The student who was by now stunned and surprised by Bhagawan’s words, who lived all this while out of pure love and devotion for His physical Form pleaded with Bhagawan, saying “Swami, but I don’t know how to connect to that Unseen, I know only You in this beautiful physical Form. Please tell me the secret of connecting to you through the unmanifest, the unseen, the eternal.” Bhagawan said, “All My life I have been telling you only this and you still ask Me this question again?” Swami then continued: “The only way, the simplest way, the most beautiful way for a devotee to connect to this Unseen Power, the Eternal Power of Divinity, is Love.” <https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/10448202_688046707951137_6274712724911508986_n.jpg> Just as all rivers merge in the ocean, all branches of education end in spiritual education. You must experience that kind of totality and merge with Divinity. Traditions and truths are being separated into various groups and the vicious syndrome of dislike for one person towards the... other has come into existence. However, not just in the past, even in the present, there are quite a few people who conduct themselves as per the traditional rules and guidelines with purity to attain the ultimate goal in life. The means to liberation, in Krita Yuga was Meditation (Dhyanam), in Tretha Yuga was performing ritualistic worship (Yagna), in Dwapara Yuga it was worship (Archana), and in the present Kali Yuga, it is chanting the Name of the Lord (Namasmarana). Any or all of these methods, when followed with utmost sincerity and devotion, will help one achieve the ultimate goal of life which is Liberation (Moksha). -My Dear Students, Vol 5, Ch 1, Dec 25, 1980. Without surrender, there can be no liberation. So long as you cling to the “I”, the four prison walls will close in on you. Cross out the “I” and you are free. – BABA <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YqzwREFpcX8/U8dBf-UMbvI/AAAAAAAACfQ/g7k3QlWAcno/s1600/True+and+not+true.jpg> -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
