Sathya Sai Baba Quotes about Death

  • Do not think about the body. The body comes and goes; for it there is birth and there is death. But you are not the body. Body is just rust and dust. Think only of God. Love God.
  • Death may call any moment. Every moment, everyone is nearing death.
  • You take this meat eating. Many people have to kill the animals because of your non-vegetarianism. You are responsible for the death of those animals. They are killed because you eat them. This is a sin. What a sin to kill innocent animals and eat them.
  • Men seek the causes for death but no one seeks the Divine source of life.
  • A human body is associated with six stages of transformation, birth, growth, change, evolution, death and destruction.
  • It is a living death if one is obsessed by pride, ego and anger.
  • 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.
  • Do not contemplate on death; it is just an incident in life; contemplate on God, who is the master of all life.
