Quotes about Truth by Sathya Sai Baba

  • We do meditation, spiritual practices in this temporary body. Though this body is temporary, you have to use temporary things to realize the Truth.
  • The Lord is the refuge of all who seek refuge, the savior of all who have to be saved. He is the Embodiment of Being-Awareness-Bliss (Sat-chit-ananda). He is now at Puttaparthi as the Effulgent Emperor over the region of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
  • My power is immeasurable; My truth inexplicable, unfathomable.
  • God is in everyone. God is in you and you are God. Strengthen this fundamental truth. When you propagate this truth, that is the real service. It is the service that will take you to closer proximity, a boat. In this ocean of life, take the help of this boat and gain the proximity.
  • Willing is superfluous for Me. For grace is ever available to devotees who have steady love and faith. Since I move freely with them, talking and singing, even intellectuals are unable to grasp My Truth, My power, My glory or My real task as Avatar.
  • Of these five vital principles, Love is the foremost. It is Love that flows as the under-current for the other four values. How does it flow this way? When Love is associated with our thoughts, it manifests itself as Truth. When Love is associated with feelings, it produces Peace. When Love animates actions, it results in Right Action. When Love is combined with understanding it becomes Non-violence. Therefore whenever you feel angry, think of love, develop thoughts of love in your heart. You will have peace.
  • Love as Thought is Truth.
  • In truth you cannot understand the nature of My Reality, either today, or even after a thousand years of steady austerity or ardent inquiry, even if all mankind joins in that effort.
  • PERFORM all acts with as much love as you would offer God. In Truth, you eat for the satisfaction of the I in you and dress up to please the self-same I. The husband loves his wife for the sake of the I. And who is this I that is persistently inherent in everyone? It is God Himself.
  • When you stick to the path of Truth and Righteousness, pain and poverty haunt you. But they are only clouds passing through the sky, hiding for a little time, the splendor of the Sun.
  • Speak with Love and it becomes Truth.
  • If you strive to find your Self by using your mind, you will strive and strive in vain, because the mind cannot give you the Truth. You are that Self. All else is illusion of the mind's creation.
  • Who am I?' The answer is 'I am God'. The body comes and goes, but the Atma is permanent. The body has birth and death, but the spirit does not have any of these. You reach the stage where you say, 'I am God', but even there, there is duality, 'God and I'. That is not the full Truth. When we breathe, the breath makes the sound of 'So-Hum', 'He am I'. There is still the body consciousness, the 'I'. But in deep sleep, the declaration of 'He' and 'I' falls away and only '0' and 'M' remain, 'Om'; there is only the One.
  • The man filled with good qualities like Truth, Love, absence of jealousy, ego, and hatred can see God without searching for Him. He becomes a Jnani (a man of spiritual wisdom).
  • You must be ever vigilant to discover the unifying Truth behind all the scintillating variety.
  • Love as Thought is Truth. Love as Action is Right Conduct. Love as Understanding is Peace. Love as Feeling is Non-violence.
  • Truth has to persist unaffected, in the past, present and future. That which is absent in two states, how can it be true.
  • Whatever may be the experience in everyday life, the basic inner Truth should not be forgotten.
