God Realization

Bhagawan Baba gave discourses at "Sai Sruti," Kodaikanal, from 5th April to 26th April 1993, before a large audience exceeding three thousand including a considerable proportion of overseas devotees hailing from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, USA, Latin America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 

Produced below are excerpts from the discourse delivered on 11-4-1993.

God Realisation

You are all embodiments of Divinity, which is within you. God is in the form of Vaishvanara to digest your food. You listen to such teachings many times but don’t practise. Instead of having tons of knowledge an ounce of practice is enough. Sadhana is essential to realise divinity. Sa means Daivatwam (divinity). Dhana means wealth. The acquisition of the wealth of divinity is sadhana. Salokyam is entering the world of God; Samipyam is going nearer to God; Sarupyam is acquiring the feeling that you are part of God and Sayujyam is final merging with God.

You know there is butter in milk. But you have to subject it to the process of turning into curd and then churning it to get butter. Similarly, in the pot of the body there is the milk of Divinity. You have to churn it using Buddhi as churning rod and Bhakti as the rope. Out of the churning, comes butter which is Self-realisation. You got it from what is already there inside you.

You should never divorce spirituality from worldly life. The cloth in my hand (a kerchief) is spirituality. It is made up of threads which represent worldly life. The cloth is there only because of the threads. If you segregate the threads there will be no cloth.

“Twameva Mata, Pita Twameva.” We say, God is father, mother, friend, relative, knowledge, wealth and all. God is the energy which drives us to action. We should not waste our energy on useless things.
