Thought for the Day

What exactly is the meaning of ‘Sai Baba’? Sai means Sahasrapadma (thousand lotuses), Sakshatkara (realisation or direct experience of the Lord), etc., Ayi means mother, and Baba means father. Thus, ‘Sai Baba’ means “He who is both Father and Mother and the Goal of all yogic endeavour”, or “The ever-merciful Mother, the All-wise Father, and the Goal of all spiritual efforts”. When you are groping in a dark room, you must seize the chance when someone brings a lamp into the room. You have to hurriedly collect your belongings scattered there or discover where they are located and do whatever else needs to be done. Similarly, make the best of this chance when the Lord has come in human form to your very door and get ready to save yourself from disaster! The undue importance now attached to the satisfaction of sensual desires must diminish as a result of your association with sacred books and saintly personages.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
