On 28th July 2007, the Lord spoke:
Every living being in this world, right from an ant to an insect, a bird, to a beast, has emerged from Truth only! Those who realise this truth are real yogis. Devoid of Truth, nothing will move in this universe. And that supreme Truth is embodied only in one person. He is Sathyam.
(Here Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba materialised a lingam and showed it to all).
Who else can manifest such pure consciousness? Truth is omnipresent. When you think of it and contemplate on it, it can manifest in you also. Hence, constantly contemplate on Truth.
Constantly remember the truth that love is God. Live in love. If you can cultivate such positive and noble thoughts, everything will turn out to be good for you.
You think it is sitting in a lonely place and contemplating on the Lord's name. Not at all! Contemplate upon the pure thoughts in your mind. Contemplate on the Truth in you.
Where there is faith, there is love; Where there is love, there is truth; Where there is truth; there God is.
Truth is God. You need not have to make any special efforts to know Truth. In fact, eleven seconds are enough to realise truth. Just contemplate in your mind for a period of eleven seconds on Truth and you will be able to have God's darshan.
Stick to the time schedule of eleven seconds, and you will have no pain.
With regard to food, you have to know certain subtle things and observe some restrictions. Do not consume non-vegetarian food like meat and fish. In fact, foreigners are used to non-vegetarian food only. This type of food causes diseases, like cancer. Hence, give up such food, totally.
You were blissful at the time of your birth. But once you started developing attachment with the world, you began crying.
Hence, you have to reduce your worldly attachments. At present, you have a lot of attachment to the world. Thereby, you are weakening your body. Ultimately you will end up in sorrow.
Worry is a very bad quality. Hurry, worry and curry —these three together make the heart very weak. Hence, keep them at a distance.
Whenever you are in difficulty, just assure yourself that these are passing clouds, which will move away, and therefore you will not be worried. Whatever comes has to go. They are momentary.
Observe Me. I am always cheerful and smiling. I have no pain or suffering. I am revealing the truth.
There is no medicine more efficacious than love. Your love is My medicine. That is the most powerful medicine. Equally, My love is a powerful medicine to all of you.
Always be happy and peaceful. Live like members of the same family with love and affection. Do not be weighed down by petty difficulties and suffering. Do not give scope to any worry. Even if your wife or children suffer from a disease, do not get perturbed.
Go back to your places with firm faith that everything will turn out to be good. Lead a happy and peaceful life.
That last line, I still remember vividly. It was my birthday and the Lord promised me that everything will turn out to be good in my life. And His Divine words can never go wrong. Since 28th July 2007, He has showered me with a lot in life - material and spiritual. He has kept His promise to all of us. Now it’s our turn – to continue to be His instruments as much as we could.
