TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam on 15th april 2007:

The educated man must be able to distinguish between the momentary and the momentous, the effervescent and the lasting. He must not run after glitter and glamour but seek instead the good and golden. He must know how to keep the body in good trim, the senses under strict control, the mind well within check, the intellect sharp and clear, unhampered by prejudices and hatred, and the feelings untouched by egoism.

TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam on 24th april 2007:

There is no need to retire into a forest or a cave to know your inner Truth and to conquer your lower nature. In fact, while living in isolation, one has no chance to exercise restraint on one's anger and other weaknesses and so the victory achieved there may not be long lasting or genuine. Win the battle of life; be in the world but yet be away from its shackles. That is the victory which you have to achieve.

TFTD as written today in prashanti nilayam on 25th april 2007:

Seek the Light always; be full of confidence and zest. Do not yield to despair, for it can never yield results. It only worsens the problem, for it darkens the intellect and plunges you into doubt. You must take up the path of (spiritual endeavour) very enthusiastically. Half-hearted, halting steps will not yield fruit. It is like cleaning a slushy area by a stream of water. If the current of the stream is slow, the slush cannot be cleared. The stream must flow full and fast, driving everything before it, so that the slush is removed without leaving a trace.

hey dreamer!
im gud,howz u?today baba left to a cooler hillstation,everyone here is feeling miserable,including me!hey,when are u comin to india,especially puttaparthi?!!howz ur family?hoping that u decide to see puttaparthi and baba soon.while blogging on an indian site,i had written a short travelogue about puttaparthi.i will post it here for u n other ppl who want to come here but dont know much about this place.take care,neeti.

AMAZING PUTTAPARTHI!

dear ppl,hi! puttaparthi is the abode of bhagawan sri sathya sai baba,where u can find the ashram "prashanti nilayam" or 'abode of highest peace'.it is a pilgrimage centre situated in andhra pradesh growing from a tiny hamlet into a lovely town surrounded by beautiful hills.it attracts millions of people from all parts of the world throughout the year.

it is a holy place,where u can see buildings with the most marvellous architecture,mostly temple type architecture both inside and outside the ashram.baba gives darshan[divine audience] daily morning and evening for more than 50 years now.what compassion!he is 'divine love walking on two feet'...
u can find accomodation inside as well as outside for reasonable rates.places to see inside the ashram are the 4 beautiful temples dedicated to lord ganesha,subramanya, goddess gayatri and goddess lakshmi.the magnificent darshan hall which can seat 20,000 people,is open daily.there is another hall[which seats 15,000 ppl] open only on festive occasions.then there is the wonderful library,book stall,radio station[not open to visitors],several parks and lawns where refreshments are sold.there is a shopping complex,open to men and women at different times of the day.also a quaint little bakery.there are 3 canteens-the north indian,south indian,western.people are expected to wear sober and not too attractive clothes,women cover themselves with shawls.
outside the ahsram,there are two huge spiritual museums which have displays of baba and all major religions of the world.then comes baba's pet elephant 'sai gita'.also a 'kalpavriksha' or wish fulfilling tree ,a fantastic indoor stadium and outdoor stadium at international standards.a sacred meditation tree for those who are into meditating...several schools ,college and university...also a nice international airport,situated about 3 kms from the ashram,a superspeciality hospital which provides the biggest operations absolutely free of cost to all!this is located roughly 5 km away.on the whole,it is mind blowing!STAY FOR ATLEAST 3 DAYS!!!bye 4 now,neeti.

TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam on 23rd april 2007:

If the eye does not help you to visualize God in everything you see, it is far better to be blind. If your ears drag you towards filthy cacophony, it is far better to be deaf. The senses should not be encouraged to plunge you into sensual muck. They must serve your real interests and sublimate your appetites. They must help you to dwell on God. All our thoughts are influenced by what we see, hear or smell. We must try to control the sense organs, especially the ears and the eyes.

TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam on 30th april 2007:

All religions teach one basic discipline, the removal of egoism and giving up petty desires. Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the glory of God and evict the pettiness of conceit. It trains him in methods of detachment and discrimination, so that he may aim high and attain liberation. Believe that all hearts are motivated by the One and only God; all faiths glorify the One God; all Names in all languages and all Forms that man can conceive of, denote the same Divine Principle that is best worshipped through pure Love. Cultivate (the attitude of oneness) towards men of all creeds in all lands.

TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam on may 9th 2007:

Man is going all over the world in search of peace as he is not aware that it is present within himself. He is like a foolish person who searches for his spectacles, while wearing them all the time right over his nose. What is the reason for all the troubles, anxieties and unrest that man is facing today? The reason is that he has forgotten his true Self and is identifying himself with something that he is not. Every man aspires for peace. Is it not a sign of one’s ignorance to look for peace elsewhere when one is himself the embodiment of peace? You are yourself the embodiment of peace. (Every human form is the very personification of peace). (All names are equally auspicious).

TFTD as written in prashanti nilayam today 15th may 2007:

Giving up narrow ideas and feelings, people should show compassion towards their fellow-beings. Compassion is the hallmark of devotion. No one can hope to please God without showing compassion towards his fellow-men. A loving heart is the temple of God. God cannot dwell in a heart without compassion. There is nothing greater in the world than the feeling of universal love. They alone are good who see the unity in the apparent diversity. Men have to realize that they are sparks of the Divine. They have to develop sacred thoughts and lead ideal lives. They must seek to promote the welfare of society.
