Vibhishana is not great in archery or in penance or in wisdom. Vibhishana is just Ravana’s brother, an ordinary inhabitant of Lanka, but Bheeshmacharya is a great man.Baba says, “Vibhishana is greater than Bheeshma.”But who will accept it?Swami ad...2020-12-1116 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 12C - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 12C Swami Materialized a Fruit I could Not Identify:On the dais that day in Kulwant Hall, Swami’s chair was in the centre between the two lions. To His left sat the vice chancellor, the registrar, and the controller of examinations -- some big people. In their company happened to be seated another man by the name of Raju, a builder, an industrialist from a very big company, Nagarjuna Builders.Swami was talking to everybody and suddenly He waved His hand and materialized a fruit of this size -- atti pandu, something like a wild fig, forest fi...2020-12-1112 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 12B - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 12B The Motivation is to Make Swami Happy:Above all, the motivation behind it is to make Swami happy. Whatever they do, whether gymnastics or athletics, motorbike or karate, their only motive is to make Swami happy. When Swami is happy, the whole world is happy. When Swami is not happy, there is no point in making others happy.If you ask the students, “What is your incentive?” they say, “Sir, we are not doing this for recognition or for any medals or to win trophies, cash awards or for newspaper publicity, no! We just want a pat on the...2020-12-1113 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 12A - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 12ATopics in this audio: Absolutely Necessary for Everyone to talk Less:His first point: It is absolutely necessary for everyone to talk less. Why? When talking, we lose energy, we lose memory, we are likely to speak lies and exaggerate the facts. So, in order to avoid these four mistakes of the tongue, Bhagavan wants us to talk less.Further, He also went on to say that wrinkles on the face and old age are also due to too much talk. All of us wish to be young, so we should follow this caution.2020-12-1114 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 11D - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 11DThey lifted My Car.And then Swami started laughing, all of a sudden.“Swami, what? What happened?”“Oh, I visited Punjab also.”“Oh, I see Swami.”You know, Punjabis wear turbans. You must know that. And the ladies will cover their heads with their saris. Have you seen? It looks something like a veil. So, there were all veils on this side and all turbans on that side - the men and women.”“Oh, Swami.”“There were thousands - a very big crowd.”“I see.”“There was...2020-11-2219 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 11C - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 11CSage ThyagarajaNow I come to the 22nd of January 2003. All of you must have noticed Bhagavan proceeding to the Music College that morning. Am I right? Have you not seen Bhagavan going to the Music College that morning? You must have seen Him.Why did He go there? The 22nd of January happens to be a day of celebration where all musicians, especially classical musicians, commemorate the life and work of a great celestial singer cumdevotee named Thyagaraja.Thyagaraja is very famous for his classical music, a very great devotee par excellence...2020-11-2216 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 11B - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 11BKnow the feelings of societyThen He started talking about what had happened. “You know, one boy who sits there on the veranda unknowingly walked into the interview room while I was coming out of the room at the same time. His head hit My head. Immediately the boy went inside and started crying, “Swami, I am sorry, very sorry. I did not notice.”Baba said, “Look here, it doesn’t matter if your head hits My head, or if My head is hitting your head. There is no difference at all. We can move shoulder-t...2020-11-2218 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 11A - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 11APoet Thenali RAMAKRISHNAThen Bhagavan mentioned a very interesting story about a poet by the name of Thenali Ramakrishna. Thenali Ramakrishna was a poet in the court of Krishnadevaraya. He was a very interesting poet - a poet of fun, frolic, retort and humour.Swami talked about two episodes relating to the life of Thenali Ramakrishna. It seems what happened was that the other pundits and scholars in the court were feeling very jealous of Thenali Ramakrishna because he was very close to the king. These sort of jealous people were there down through the...2020-11-2218 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 10D - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 10D“ONLY DIVINITY IS EVERYWHERE “There was another occasion when Bhagavan made a few remarks, which I want to share with you.Bhagavan began by saying that there is only God and nothing else. There is only Divinity everywhere, nothing else -- all are His own reflection.Then I asked a question, “Swami, why don’t I experience that? If Divinity is everywhere and nothing else, why is it that I do not experience that?”Then Swami said, “Your attachment to the body is responsible for your ignorance and your inability to know your re...2020-10-2014 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 10C - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 10C“HOW DO WE CONTROL DESIRES?”“Swami, it is nice to hear from You that we need to control our desires. Why? How do we do it? Please tell me. When I see that someone is better off than I am, then I want to be much, much better than they are. Don’t you think so? How are desires controlled? I know I have to control them, but how? I don’t know.”Then Bhagavan answered liberally, with a beautiful example. “Don’t get worried because the other man has a big building. Be happy that you have a...2020-10-2014 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 10B - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 10BPOMP AND DIGNITYThere is a word, darja, which means ‘with all pomp and show’ and a second word, theevi, which means ‘with all dignity.’Then I said, “Swami, with this darja and theevi, with this pomp and dignity, if I cannot be like that here, where else can I be like that?”Swami was watching me keenly. Then I thought it was time to just take a chance and try to make it a little lighter. So I said, “Swami, what is the difference between darja, pomp and show, and theevi, dignity? What is the di...2020-10-2016 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 10A - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 10A“YOU SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON OTHERS”The first thing He said was: Whether it is the Sports Meet or anything else, one should not depend on others. We should not hire anything from anyone. We should not employ people from anywhere. We should not deploy any agency for this purpose. You should be self-dependent and self-reliant. This is what He called swasakthi, which means self-reliance or self-dependence. This is a beautiful message for all of us that will help us to stand on our own feet, and not depend on our neighbors.This made me ask...2020-10-2015 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 9D - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 9DThe Greatest Act of CharityOne senior professor asked this question, “Swami, of all the charities, which is greatest?”Though that question had no relevance to what was being discussed, Swami tolerated it because of the professor’s age. If I were to put such a question in the midst of that maya, illusion – well, I know the reaction, reflection and resound that would come back to me! (Laughter) So, a senior man asked the question, “What is the highest, biggest act of charity?”Swami said, “Food distribution. Feeding others is the biggest act of charity...2020-09-2515 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 9C - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 9C58,000 Cardiology Patients TreatedThen we had another speaker from the hospital.

In addition, about 1,500 people have come for valve replacements. And in the Urology Department, 18,000 patients have been treated.

A big function was organised on September 10th, 2002. It was really a big day, and many things were brought to light that deserve our attention.

A committee of experts and vice-chancellors, who are specially constituted by the University Grants Commission, Government of India, happened to visit Sri Sathya Sai University in Prashanti Nilayam.That committee is popularly called ‘NAAC Committee’, meaning, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council. This committee is supposed to go around the whole country and visit every department of every university and grade them, ranking them at the national level. They rank every department and grade every teacher’s qualification, performance and research.

There was a simple experience that I should tell you about.Bhagavan was speaking about so many details that day. Then He called an elderly person and said, “Look here, there is one driver. He had an attack of chicken pox. He is very thin and weak, so please tell the canteen that they should supply his whole family with breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner until he recovers totally.”My eyes were filled with tear...2020-09-0314 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 8B - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 8BMOTHER MARYI asked Bhagavan this question: “I have seen the statue of Mother Mary, carrying the infant Christ. People worship Mary also. In convents, we find Mary’s statue, and we also find Mary holding Jesus on her lap. There is a very big church in Bangalore called ‘Infant Jesus’. What is that all about? Why do people worship Mary?”Please note what Bhagavan said: “Just as you people worship the mother of this body for giving birth to this Avatar (referring to Easwaramma), people also worship Mary, Jesus’ mother, in reverence, adoration and gratitude for...2020-09-0318 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 8A - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 8ATHE DISCUSSION ON CHRISTMAS AND JESUS CHRISTDECEMBER 22, 2002On the 22nd of December, some of the conversation that went on centered around Christmas and the life of Jesus Christ. Bhagavan said that the Catholics had their own philosophy of Christianity and followed their own concepts. However, they were not accepted by a certain section of Christians, who opposed them and protested against some of their concepts. Hence, this sect became known as the ‘Protestants’.Bhagavan also said that Jesus taught that every man is God. He meant that Atma, Self or spirit is God...2020-09-0315 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 7D - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 7D“This Lady I Met 40 Years Ago In Bombay”Suddenly Swami looked at a doctor and said, “You visited the Super Speciality Hospital at Puttaparthi this morning. You must have seen the patient who got an injection costing 75,000 rupees, given without any expectation, not even of a ‘thanks’. That’s what you should know. You doctors should also know about the technicians in our hospital. They are two post-graduate students from our University, plus the dietitians are girls from our Anantapur Campus.

After all, I eat only a small handful of ragi malt. That’s all -- just ragi malt. I don’t have any coffee or tea, or a breakfast of idly, vada or dosas like you fellows eat. I take only ragi malt.

Hence, He would be lenient. I took the risk and said, “Swami, if Krishna is God, how can He afford to be partial to the Pandavas? Can God be partial? The Kauravas are also His children. He should be impartial. The whole Mahabharathashows Krishna’s total partiality toward the Pandavas. So, how can He be God? I can’t reconcile it. I know fully...2020-08-0623 min
SAIWISDOM.COMSPW 7A - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 7A“Money and Sai Baba Will Never Go Together”Now I move on to the next episode. This incident is an example from Bhagavan’s life. Swami was sitting on His chair when He suddenly called a gentleman from the devotees -- an elderly person, an old man, wearing a dhoti with a long shirt.“Come here!”The man came forward. Bhagavan introduced him to all of us. He said this man was a correspondent for a chain of schools in the State of Karnataka.Then He looked at him seriously and said, “Wha...2020-08-0619 minSAIWISDOM.COMSPW 6D - Sai Pearls Of Wisdom Audio Part 6DSound In SilenceThen in the month of August, another wonderful thing happened! Bhagavan gave me an opportunity to talk to Him, as He does every day because of His infinite mercy, not necessarily due to my deservedness. (I am very open about that.)I chose to ask some questions, "Swami, Ramana Maharshi made mention of the ‘sound in silence’. The sound in silence -- Nisabhda Brahman: Nisabhda is silence and Sabdha Brahman is sound. ‘Listen to the sound of silence.’ That’s what he said. Swami, is it possible?

He said, "Here is a man who said that he has now crossed 83 years old. Another man here says that he has just completed 60 years. But I can tell you that no one knows My age! No one knows My age!"Bhagavan did not comment any further on this statement. But I started reflecting on one of His earlier statements.
