To be free is your birthright! When you guide your steps along the path
illumined by the universal unbound dharma you will become really free; if you
stray away from the light, you will get bound. What you call ‘freedom’ is a
certain type of bondage. Genuine freedom is obta...ined only when delusion is
absent, when there is no identification with the body and senses, and no
servitude to the objective world. People who have escaped from this servitude
and achieved freedom in the genuine sense are very few in number. Bondage lies
in every act done with the consciousness of the body as the Self, for one is
then the play thing of the senses. Only those who have escaped this fate are
free; this ‘Freedom’ is the ideal stage to which dharma leads. With this stage
constantly in mind, one who engages in the activity of living, can become a
liberated person (muktha-purusha).
- Dharma Vahini, Ch 2.
When the mind and the intellect unite, humanness reaches a state of freedom,
which is referred to as liberation (Moksha). -BABA.

Uttering the truth is easy. But indulging in falsehood is a tortuous process.
One has to take a lot of trouble to cover up one lie with more lies. Hence it
is said: Speak the truth, speak what is pleasing, do not utter truth that is
unpleasant (Sathyam brooyath; priyam brooyath; na brooyath Sathyam Ap...riyam).
God is the embodiment of Truth. Truth is the foundation of the universe. This
transcendental changeless Truth is beyond mind, speech and the categories of
time and space. Vedanta has described it as ‘Ritam’. Live up to this Truth.
Internalize the fact that the Lord is present in everyone. Only when you
recognise the omnipresence of the Divine, will you easily experience the
Divine. Hence from today give up swartha (selfishness), turn your mind towards
the Supreme (Parartha), lead a life of Truth (Yadartha) and sanctify your
lives. If you earn the love of God even to the slightest extent, you will
experience infinite joy.
- Divine Discourse, 15-Sep-1988.
Believe that God resides in all beings. Speak such words as would spread
goodness, truth and beauty. - BABA

There is nothing greater in the world than Bhakti (devotion). Once sage Narada
demonstrated to his disciples how devotion is greater than anything in the
world, including the Divine. While the Divine was greater than the cosmos,
which the Lord as Vamana could measure in two steps, the Lord H...imself is
held in his heart by the devotion of the devotee. Devotion bestows the highest
benefits. Devotion alone is the means to Realisation. Devotion alone confers
supreme peace. Devotion is the panacea for all ills. Divine love encompasses
all sacred acts. To achieve oneness with the Divine, one will have to be
prepared to sacrifice everything. It is not easy for anyone to recognise the
truth about the Divine. His leelas (miraculous sportive activities) are beyond
the grasp of the mind and speech. There is no Veda or Sastra superior to
devotion.
- Divine Discourse, 15-Sep-1988.
For sacred thoughts and sacred deeds, sacred food is essential.-BABA.
