Sathya Sai Baba speech on truth: Every human being has two eyes in his consciousness, namely 1. Truth 2. Non-Violence Man is a pilgrim who has already come a long way from birth to birth. The journey so far he travelled decides how far he has to go still. If he has lost his way and meandered into the deserts or jungles, he will yet to travel a great distance. If he travels in right path, his pilgrimage will end soon successfully. Satya and ahimsa are the guides which will take you to the goal of life. These two lights are like the Sun and the Moon of the inner firmament. 1. Truth in speech: Look into the Bhagavad-Gita (song of the GOD), it tells you that the best speech is ‘’speech that does not create, pain, anger and grief to others”. The scriptures say –speak the Truth, but pleasantly. If speaking the Truth will cause grief or pain, then be silent. This is the vow of truth in ordinary day of life.

Preach the gospel of love through example. There is a noble saying which is as follows: ‘’Love others as you love yourself’’. Where there is love, there is peace (no wars on this earth).

Sri Sathya Sai Baba on consciousness
Sathya Sai Baba is a Spiritual guru from Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, India. 1. Satya Sai Baba says that the consciousness that is present in the body is called “Atma”. It is also called conscience. Conscience is a reflection of the consciousness. When the conscience (Atma) ultimately leaves the body, it merges in the Universal, Consciousness and becomes one with it. This is the process of the many merging with the One (God). 2. Spirituality means looking upon the whole of mankind. This is the essence of Indian culture. 3.

It is the Supreme Wisdom and infinite. 6. It is not easy to understand the nature of the Divine God. God is present every where and can undertake any kind of activity.
