The eighth flower God loves dearly is satyam (truth), that which is unmodified by the passage of time. God alone persists unchanged from the past, through the present into the future. When this flower blossoms in your heart you will be rewarded with eternal fragrance. Worship the Lord, offering these eight flowers of Nonviolence, sense-control, compassion, tolerance, inner peace, austerity, meditation and truth, blossoming from your heart! Today, you offer fresh flowers, and your devotion does not last even until you exit the shrine! As soon as you finish worship, anger, hatred and anxiety possess you and degrade you. Without developing virtuous qualities how can any one win the grace of God? Engaged in Asatya Narayana Vrata (a vow of falsehood) on all 364 days, what is the good you hope to get doing Satya Narayana Vrata on one day? When you claim to be Sai devotees, justify the claim by cultivating these flowers of virtue and offering them to God.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
