Sathya Baba Gives Quotations

God is omnipresent. He is the in-dweller of every heart and all names are His. You can call Him by any name that gives you joy. You must not cavil at other names and forms, nor become fanatics, blind to their glory.

You are only actors on the stage before the footlights. The Director, who knows the Play, who assigns the roles, who gives the cues, who calls you in and puts you on is behind the curtain.

What God gives is never exhausted,What man gives never lasts.

You must welcome tests because it gives you confidence and it ensures promotion.

Service expresses the divinity hidden in man. It broadens one's heart, it destroys narrow-mindedness, and it gives delight. The evil qualities and tendencies in us can be driven away through service.

Service is the highest spiritual discipline. Prayer and meditation, or knowledge of scripture and Vedanta (holy scriptures of India), cannot help you reach the goal as quickly as service can. Service has a double effect, it extinguishes the ego and gives bliss.

Doing one's duty, however small, in an unattached manner gives rise to the awakening of self-awareness.
