TEACHINGS
OF SATHYA SAI BABA
|
|
|
At
the age of 14, Sathya Sai Baba declared to his parents that he had
come to this world with a mission to re-establish the principle
of Righteousness, to motivate love for God and service to fellow
man. Since then, he has consistently called on all mankind to Love
All, Serve All and has repeatedly asserted that the essence of all
scriptures is Help Ever, Hurt Never!
|
|
Through
his speeches and writings, Sathya Sai Baba has offered a veritable
ocean of knowledge and guidance on all aspects of spiritual, religious,
and value-oriented living. He has often repeated that it is not
necessary to drink the whole ocean to know its taste, that it is
not necessary to read all scriptures to live a life of joy, peace,
and love. It is enough to put into practice one aspect of spiritual
teaching.

Believe
in God -for there is only ONE GOD for all mankind, though he may
be called by many names. Follow sincerely their respective religions
and live their daily lives in consonance with the teachings of good
behavior and morality. Respect all other religions for no religion
advocates the negative and lower qualities of man. Perform selfless
service to the poor, the sick, and the needy without thought of
reward or fame. Cultivate in their lives the values of truth, divine
love, right conduct, peace, and nonviolence and promote these values
among all. Be patriotic and respect the laws of the country in which
