Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam December 22, 2015

What is the purpose of an Advent? How should we benefit from an Advent?

Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today as we prepare to celebrate Christmas.
What does it mean when you say God descends as
an Avatar?God out of His love, affection and compassion,
comes down to the level of a human being and arouses the
Divine Consciousness in humankind. When God finds that
many people are desperately searching outside of themselves
for God, He makes you aware of God within yourself. God is
in fact the core in everyone. This chance, to realize God
within, has been granted to you as a reward for merit acquired
by you in many previous lives, so as to reach the highest goal
of merging with the absolute. Every bird needs two wings to
fly; a cart needs two wheels to be pulled along. To journey
towards the highest goal, you need both faith and
steadfastness - spiritual learning (vidya) and
penance (tapas). Bhagavad Gita states, Knowledge of the
Self (Atma Vidya) is the holiest. Knowledge(Vidya) shows the
way, and the penance (tapas) makes you reach the goal. Both
are necessary to attain the Ultimate.
- Divine Discourse, 24 Dec 1980.

Service is the highest form of worship and the best penance. Baba
