My Sankalpa Is All-Powerful!
The Bond Of Love between Bhagawan and
His `students' is the sweetest and most incomprehensible. What the
`vanaras' of the Treta and `gopis' of the Dwapara were privileged, in
the Kali age when God descended as Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai, it is
undoubtedly His band of `students' who are the most privileged, to whom
He has given Himself, guiding and nurturing them, to become the
torch-bearers of His mission…and it is an unending saga of love, that is
still on…What is that unfathomable Bond and how much Bhagawan expects
from His band of students? Embodiments of Love – Students!
Our students have a pure and sacred heart. They are untouched by pride or selfishness. They are absolutely blemishless.
Exemplary Selflessness and Diligence of Swami's Students
They may at times commit mistakes but they themselves rectify them.
Hence, our students are, in fact, our Central Trust. It is they who are
handling the entire work of the Central Trust. Elders are there only to
give them guidance and advice, but the actual work is being done by the
students. Hence, none can underestimate their capabilities simply
because they are young in age. I am standing here only to speak about
the selfless work being done by our students, otherwise I had no
intention of giving a Discourse. Our students are doing extremely
wonderful work and setting everything right. You cannot say they are
ordinary students; they are destined to be the main support of the
Central Trust in future. The Central Trust is mainly dependant on the
students. They are working day and night. One cannot specifically say so
and so is working hard; all are equally hard working. Nobody can
describe the strength and capabilities of these students.
Students!
It is My earnest desire that you should lead the Central Trust, follow
the right path and set an ideal to the entire world. The future of the
Trust rests on you. Whatever good or bad happens will be the result of
your conduct. Hence, the Trust can progress only due to your ideal
conduct. It is not money that is important. You should give importance
to good work. Wherever you see in the outside world today, you find
people craving for money and more money! Money comes and goes, morality
comes and grows. You can make progress in life only when you adhere to
morality. Hence, make all efforts to cultivate morality. Having been
born as a human being, it is but natural for you to have many desires
and longings. But these are not permanent; they are merely passing
clouds. Do not be carried away by them. You should brush them aside and
hold your character high.
Develop Love and Truth
Students!
Your work and conduct should set a shining example for others. The
ideals set by you will be the source of sustenance for the entire world.
Today there is a great advancement in the field of science and
technology. But all this is, in fact, "trick-nology", and not true
technology. The feelings that come from your heart are true and eternal.
Develop the power of discrimination to know what is true and what is
false. Keep aside what is not necessary. Follow that which is true and
eternal. The entire work of the Central Trust is your responsibility.
Devote your entire time to this sacred task. Make proper use of your
time and earn a good name. Not only the work of the Central Trust, but
that of its sister trusts also depends upon your conduct.
Do not depend on anybody. Depend only on your Atma Shakti (power of
Self). Develop self-confidence. Once you have self-confidence, you will
attain everything. True faith will take root in your heart when you
develop self-confidence. Then only will you attain true power. This will
strengthen love in you. Love is God. It is love which bestows all types
of powers on you. Faith strengthens love. Without faith, one cannot
have love. Any task, be it small or big, can be performed only through
love. Your faith is the basis of your love. But people today have become
verily blind having lost both their eyes of faith. Truth is God. Love
is God. Live in Love. Therefore, develop both love and truth. When you
have love and truth, you can achieve everything in this world. In fact,
these are like My two feet. I achieve everything with these two.
Aspire for Guna (virtue), not Dhana (money)
Some time ago, I provided drinking water to the people of Chennai. The
problem of water in Chennai had been persisting since the time of the
Britishers, who ruled over India. They promised to provide water to
Chennai but did not fulfil their promise. Seeing the difficulties faced
by the people, I provided water to Chennai. To overcome the scarcity of
water in Chennai, we made arrangements to facilitate the flow of water
from Krishna river to Chennai. Now every hut in Chennai has access to
drinking water. Even the children are jumping with joy, saying, "Sai
Baba has provided the ambrosia of water to us." In this way, I made
everybody happy in Chennai. You all know very well that huge amount of
money is required for such stupendous projects. But I did not ask
anybody to give even a naya paisa. My Sankalpa (Will) is all-powerful.
We have no craving for money. We are interested in Guna (virtues) and
not Dhana (money). You may not believe but I have to tell this to you
that I am spending crores of rupees every month. This fact is very well
known to Chakravarthi because he is the one through whom the payments
are being made. Someone has to be there to do this work. Swami Himself
can do everything but still some help is needed. That is why we have
established the Central Trust and entrusted the responsibility of its
functioning to its members.
You can attain anything if only you have love. There is no wealth
greater than love. Hence, develop love. You don't need to ask anybody
for anything. Love will supply everything to you and you will lack
nothing. Develop love through right means. Do not follow the wrong path.
Do not resort to falsehood or injustice. Do not give up forbearance
because forbearance is most important. Unfortunately, there is a lack of
unity among the Bharatiyas today. You may have everything, but if you
have no unity, you cannot have purity. One who lacks purity cannot
attain divinity. For divinity, purity is essential. All your desires and
aspirations will be fulfilled if you have purity and divinity.
Saha Navavatu, Saha Nau Bhunaktu, Saha Veeryam Karavavahai,
Tejaswi Navadhitamastu,
Ma Vidvishavahai.
(Oh Lord! Protect and nourish us both (preceptor and disciple) together.
We may attain energy and effulgence from our study together. We may not
hate each other.)
Students! My mind is always focused on you only. In fact, I can't
exist without you. I am here because of you; you are here because of Me.
You and I are one. We are not separate from each other. Never feel
disappointed thinking, "Swami is not talking to me." Be happy and do
your work with dedication.
