Sathya Sai Baba is a great teacher who reincarnates in different eras – some of his incarnations are world famous and some are secret. His mission is to help unleash the potential of every person. Happiness and self-realization of people is the purpose of his embodiment. Sathya Sai Baba performed miracles throughout his life and poured out mercy and blessings on people as if from a cornucopia. Each person is the God of his own cosmos. If you are able to think about changing the events and circumstances of your life, then it is possible to achieve it.

A huge number of people live on this wonderful planet, but everyone lives in their own reality. The reality of one person is the joy of creativity, happiness, and abundance, while the reality of another is continuous problems, suffering and internal conflicts.

The realities of life are shaped by the thoughts and emotions that dominate your mind. A harmoniously and correctly thinking person builds his universe brick by brick as a space of happiness, joy, health, love, wisdom, and self-realization. According to the harmonious vibration of your thoughts and emotions, the divine reality of your life is manifested.

44. Devoted Heart

There is a wonderful story, one man turned to God and asked him to publish his address. God answered when someone chants His holy names, God lives in the heart of such a person. Even the highest heavens are only branches, but the heart of a devoted person is the main place where God permanently dwells.

(Sathya Sai Baba – “Lectures at Kodaikanal”, 1996)

Of course, everyone who comes to the ashram really wants to have the opportunity of personal communication with Sathya Sai Baba. But only Sathya Sai Baba himself made the decision to invite or not to invite someone to a personal conversation. There was one way by which one could influence Sathya Sai Baba's decision and get the opportunity for personal communication, which was by chanting the ancient mantra, Gayatri. The essence of any mantra is the Holy Names of God; it is they who bring colossal power to any Mantra.

By chanting the Holy Names, a person awakens the presence of God in his heart, which is why Sathya Sai Baba said that even heaven is just a branch, but the true seat of Divinity is the spiritual heart of a person. The Gayatri Mantra has a special place in the Vedic tradition. People who practiced the Gayatri Mantra established a deep mystical connection with Sathya Sai Baba and would attract his attention and receive many blessings.

All mantras are divine. Sincerely practicing any one of them will help you to gain high spiritual experiences and perfection, however, Sathya Sai Baba said that it is the Gayatri Mantra that includes the wisdom and energy power of all Vedic scriptures.

One who constantly practices the Gayatri Mantra receives the fulfillment of all good desires and the destruction of all evil inclinations. The one who chants the Gayatri Mantra receives the blessing equal to the chanting of all Vedic texts, such is the power of this mantra. Each mantra contains the names of God, which is the power of any mantra.

It is very important to not only pronounce the text of the mantra correctly, but also to deeply understand the content. While repeating Gayatri, one should reflect on the amazing philosophical significance of the teachings set forth in this great mantra. The Gayatri Mantra reveals the divine potentials dormant in every person, provides healing from diseases, increases intellectual abilities, and changes the circumstances of life.

45. Eye of wisdom – perception of unity

The "eye of wisdom" is very important for every person. It is also called the "eye of the true Self," the "divine eye," and the "eye of the Divine Consciousness." All these names are synonyms. By opening the "eye of wisdom," you realize that everything is divine, and you will be able to perceive the entire universe in the spirit of unity.

(Sathya Sai Baba – "Summer Showers of Brindavan", 1990)

Physically, a person has two eyes, but in fact, every person has a third eye. By the way, the third eye is also manifested quite physically. In the center of the brain there are several points of tremendous mystical and spiritual significance: the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, the thalamus, the pineal gland, and the medulla oblongata. All these points play an important role in the process of meditation and clairvoyance.

With three eyes you contemplate three times: future, present and past. The third eye is located at the place where the flows of the three sacred rivers join – this is how the ancient texts explain the three main energy channels of the spine, which join in the third eye.

One of the ancient symbols denoting the third eye, or the eye of wisdom is the All-Seeing Eye. Lord Shiva is depicted with the third eye. All these symbols show the importance of meditation on the eye of wisdom. The symbol of Shiva is also a five-pointed star, meaning “a perfect person” who has gained true awareness of the True Self.

The three eyes correspond to the three levels of initiation in the ancient mysteries. A person walking on the spiritual ladder goes through three initiations. Climbing up three steps, the pilgrim enters the temple where secret knowledge is revealed to him.

A person who opens the eye of wisdom perceives everything in unity. In the life of such a person, the reunion of Spirit and Matter takes place and unites the single stream of spiritual self-knowledge with material abundance. Spiritual evolution takes place on all planes of human existence. Spirit self-realizes in matter, and matter comes to life in Spirit.

46. What needs to be done now, needs to be done only now

Here is an anecdote about knowing when to act. A person came to the ashram who had many problems in life; and who does not? He lived in the
