Manasa bhajare guru charanam, dustara bhava sagara taranam. I called on all those suffering in the endless round of birth and death to worship the Feet of the Guru, the Guru who was announcing Himself, who had come again for taking upon Himself the burden of those who find refuge in Him. That was My very first Message to humanity. I do not need your flower garlands and fruits, things that you buy for a few rupees; they are not genuinely yours. Give Me something that is yours, something that is clean and fragrant with the perfume of virtue and innocence, and washed in the tears of repentance! Garlands and fruits you bring are an exhibition of your devotion; poorer devotees who cannot afford to bring them feel humiliated and helpless that they cannot demonstrate their devotion like you! Install the Lord in your heart and offer Him the fruits of your righteous actions and the flowers of your inner most thoughts and feelings. That is the worship I like most, the devotion I appreciate most.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
