1. You can be called a human being only when you have human qualities in you. You may read any number of books, but is you lack human qualities, you cannot be called a human being. Those who imbibe and practice good human values are true human beings. One may be a great emperor possessing enormous wealth and power; but wealth and power cannot protect any one. Even if man acquires all worldly possessions, they cannot give him true happiness. True happiness can be derived from inner qualities and not from outer acquisitions.
2. There should be unity of thought, word and deed. We should speak what we think and do what we say. When we observe the unity of thought, word and deed, we will become embodiments of Divinity. This is true humanness. People today have the mistaken notion that amassing a lot of wealth and filling their banks is a great human quality. They think that their education is meant only for this; this is not the goal of education. The five human values of Truth, Duty, Peace, Love and Non-violence are man's real wealth.
3. All human qualities are within us; they are not outside. what is the meaning of educare ? It is to bring out the qualities that are within us. Therefore, we should manifest our innate human qualities. That is true educare. Mere reading of books connotes education but not educare. Through educare, all will become one irrespective of caste, creed or religion.
4. Every human being should have love and compassion for poor people. Only those who develop the quality of sacrifice experience divine bliss. Selfish people who harbour feelings of "I" and 'MINE" can never experience happiness. The feeling of "I" is the cause of ego in man. Similarly, the feeling of "MINE" and "MY PEOPLE" cause attachment. Such feelings make a man proud and egoistic. Do not develop narrow feeling; this will result in sufferings. What is the cause of such feelings in man? The cause of such feelings is their worldly and materialistic education. Materialistic education make a man self-centred; it does not broaden his outlook to think about the welfare of others.
5. People today try to expoit others for their own selfish ends. Nobody is making efforts with sacred feelings to help others. In fact, a true human being is supposed to help others. Only those who are endowed with the five values of Truth, Duty, Peace, Love and Non-violence are human being in the real sense of the term. We should also develop compassion which is not to be seen anywhere now-a-days; what we see today is only "come-fashion". These will lead to divinity in man.

GOD AND MAN
1. God is without any attributes; He has no birth or death, although He incarnates on earth in human form. Therefore, man is nothing but divine.
2. Every one should have faith in God. But people sometimes worship God and then start hating Him because they lack firm faith. Such people cannot be called human beings in the true sense of the term. Man can attain peace of mind only when he has firm faith and sense of total surrender.
3. Creation emerges from truth and merges into truth. Is there a place in the cosmos where truth does not exist? Visualize this pure and unsullied truth.
4. Seek chances of helping others. Never lose an opportunity of using your skills and enthusiasm for the alleviation of sorrow, pain or distress. Again do not omit or neglect or postpone your own particular duty. Above all have faith that God is with you all times and at all places.
5. The same God is present in all things. You may worship different names and forms of God, but you should develop the faith that God is only one. Offer your salutations to everyone you meet. Even when you come across a beggar, offer your salutations to him. His physical body may appear to be that of a beggar but in respect of the soul, he is bigger. Therefore, offer your obeisance to all because the same soul is present in al. Never consider any body your enemy; never hate anyone.
6. Jewels are many, but gold is one.
Faiths are many, but goal is one.
Cows are many, but milk is one.
7. There is no discipline equal to service to smother the ego and to fill the heart with genuine joy. To condemn service as demeaning and inferior is to forego these benefits. If a wave of service sweeps over the land, catching everyone in its enthusiasm, it will be able to wipe off the mounds of hatred, malice and greed that infest the world.
8. When rivers go and merge in the ocean, they acquire the depth and glory of the unfathomable ocean. In a similar manner, when all other forms of education merge with spiritual education, they acquire the form and grandeur of the spiritual education. It is only when your education is combined with penance that there is a possibility of the blossoming of your heart and the enabling of your ideas. Penance does not mean that you should give up everything and go the forest and stand there with your head on the ground. Penance is that with the help of which you can make your thought, word and deed harmonize with each other.

HUMAN VALUES
1. Lead your life, chanting within you constantly the name of God who is the embodiment of peace and love. When all individuals develop peace in them, then the entire country will become good and peaceful. Those who aspire for the welfare of the country should live always in love.
2. There is love in every one of us. But we do not make proper use of it. Rather, we put our love to mis-use. How far can a person go if he walks on his head instead of his feet? God has given us feet for walking. Similarly, God has given us tongue to speak the truth. Speaking untruth is like walking on our head. God has given us head to make proper use of it and think: “What is good and what is bad? What is truth and what is untruth?” While saying or doing anything, first we should think what is we are saying is true or untrue and what we are doing is right or wrong. After due consideration, we should only take the path of truth.
3. Truth is eternal. It does not undergo any change in the three periods of time – past, present and future. There is not Dharma greater than adherence to truth. Dharma originates from truth only. Where there is no truth, Dharma does not abide there. When we have Truth and Dharma, peace will descend upon us and we will attain supreme peace.
4. The highest step in various modes of worship of God is self-surrender. Surrender does not mean offering our body to God. Real surrender is the chanting of the Divine Name and making it the basis of our life. God has given us hands to serve mankind. Similarly, God has given us tongue to chant the Name of God and He has given us feet to serve mankind. God can not be attained by money. It is God who has given us all our money. Hence, we should utilise money on our worldly and spiritual pursuits. Also use it to help poor people.
5. We can attain God by chanting His Divine Name. Make any Name of God as the basis of our life and then we can achieve everything. Name is eternal but form is ephemeral; the form has old age and death. Therefore, it is the Name that is important. Therefore, chant the name of God constantly. Other spiritual practices such as charity, yajna, worship are of little use if we do not chant the Divine Name.
6. Everything happens according to the feelings of your heart. Good and bad feelings are the main cause of our good fortune or misfortune. To become fortunate, we should cultivate good qualities which build our character. When we cultivate good qualities, we develop good tendencies. Only such a virtuous person can undertake good deeds. By associating with bad company, a person becomes bad and by keeping company with good people, he acquires virtues. Therefore, we should have good company and good things around us.
7. Let us think for a while:
(a) Who provides food to sustain the tadpole in the crevices of a rock?
(b) Who waters the growing plant on the top of a cliff? Who provides water and manure to trees that grow on stones in mountainous regions?
(c) Who has painted the several colours on the plumes of a peacock and who has made the parrot look so attractive with its multi-hued feathers?
8. God is our sole refuge wherever we may be, in a forest, in the sky, in a city or in a village or on the top of a mountain or in the middle of deep sea. Every thing happens by the Will of God. We should develop such firm faith. All are embodiments of God; we should know this and make efforts to attain God.
9. When we sow a Karma, we reap a tendency. When we sow a tendency, we reap character. When we sow character, we reap destiny. Therefore, destiny depends upon character, character depends upon tendency, tendency depends upon action and action depends upon thoughts. Hence, good thoughts are the fundamental basis of our good fortune.
10. Once Sai Baba told a devotee “Oh devotee! I am always with you and I am always present at your back.” After walking some distance, the devotee turned back and saw but did not find Sai Baba there. Then he thought that Baba had told him a lie. “He told me that He will be behind my back, but He is not to be seen”. He went back to Baba and said “You promised that you would be at my back, but when I looked behind me, I did not find you”. Baba replied, “Oh devotee! When you looked behind your back, you turned your back also. Hence, I also turned to be at your back”. The words of God are mysterious, wonderful and have a deeper meaning. Not all can understand God. Follow His command, it our duty.

HUMAN VIRTUES
1. Man should primarily develop truth and love. Then he will not resort to violence. Whatever spiritual practices like penance, yajna, yoga you may undertake, suffuse all of them with love.
2. Parents should occupy a place of prime importance in your life. Howsoever old they may be and howsoever difficult may be your condition, you should try to make your parents happy as far as it is possible for you. YOu should feed them if you have to resort to begging. Bear all hardships to look after them. Fulfil all their desires. This will result in the fulfillment of your own desires. Everything in this world is reaction, reflection and resound. None can escape from these. If you cause hardship to your parents today, your children will do the same to you tomorrow. You will get back the result of your actions without much delay. You may love anyone you like, but do not forget you parents.
3. Gambling is not good at all. Similarly, drinking of liquor is also not good. Addiction to drinking leads to loss of control over oneself. Under the influence of liquor, one may speak anything. One will have to repent when one comes back to one's normal state. Likewise, lust and anger are demonic qualities. Never allow them to come near you. If a fit of anger, you may speak anything without considering its consequences. But after a few minutes, when you come back to normal state, you will feel sorry, therefore first and foremost kill the anger.
4. Love everyone. If you cannot love others, just keep quiet. But do not abuse them. In fact, no body has any right to criticise others. It is the same love that is present in everyone. Can love criticise love? No, love never criticises. It always gives the experience of love to everyone. Even birds and animas love their offspring. Should man not love his fellow human beings ? When he is endowed with so many good qualities, man should love his fellowmen. Only then can he become receipient of God's love.
5. Develop truth and love. When you have both truth and love, then you can have peace. When you have peace, you can lead you entire life happily. You will not have hatred for anyone. You have hatred only when you lack love and truth. You should unite love and truth in your life. When you have love, you will love everybody, you will make everybody happy. Therefore, treasure love and truth in your heart and never forget them; not even in your dream.
6. MONEY COMES AND GOES; MORALITY COMES AND GROWS. Develop morality. Where there is no morality, there can be no humanness. Respect your elders, show gratidue to your parents. Whatever anybody says about you, let him say. Think that he is not criticising you but himself. Whatever he may speak, it will go into thin air. What is the use of reacting to that spech which goes into thin air. Only love reaches the heart. You can experience love only when your thoughts are truthful; your thoughts should be permeated with truth. Hence, lead your life with love and end your life with love. Whatever you do to others, in fact, you do to yourself. Be it good or bad, help or harm, everything is the result of your own thoughts.
2. Parents should occupy a place of prime importance in your life. Howsoever old they may be and howsoever difficult may be your condition, you should try to make your parents happy as far as it is possible for you.

DIVINITY AND LOVE FOR GOD
1. In every action in daily life, manifest your love. Divinity will emerge from that love. This is the easiest path to God realisation. But, why are people not taking it ? This is because they are obsessed with misconceptions relating to the means of experiencing God. they regard God as some remote entity attainable only by ardous spiritual practices. God is everywhere. There is no need to search for God. All that we see are the manifestation of the Divine. All the human beings we see are the forms of the Divine. Correct your defective vision and you will experience God in all things.
2. When you attain the proximity of God and become recipient of HIS love, you become GOD yourself. This is true research. Hence, you need not undertake any other practice to attain divinity. You should develop only the feelings of love in you. This will transform you into a divine being.
3. You should have faith that everything you see in this world is an aspect of divinity. There is nothing else other than this. Only ONE exists in this world and there is no second. We are unable to understand this truth and suffer due to many misconceptions. We are prepared to believe what others write in their books, but no one is prepared to have faith in his own self. People have all types of confidence except self-confidence. If only we have self-confidence, we can achieve everything; there is nothing in this world that we can not accomplish.
4. We must always have good thoughts. Then only can mind have equanimity. It is just a question of the discipline of the mind, difficult in the beginning, but, once mastered, capable of conquering all troubles and worries. An unruffled mind is very necessary for every asprirant who is marching forward; it is one of his beneficial qualities. Such a mind gives real strength and happiness. Strive to gain it, though you may fail even in seven attempts. You are sure to succeed in the eighth, if you refuse to be despirited.
5. It is essential to keep our body sacred. In order to keep it sacred, we should chant the Divine Name. We should perform meditation to make our mind sacred. Do chanting with meditation and meditation with chanting the divine name. Love should be undercurrent of both chanting and meditation. We hold a cymbal in one hand and another in the other hand. Sound is produced only when both are brought together. In the same way, chating and meditation when in unison, we can enter into the state of "non-dual state of Supreme Conciousness" which is our true state.

REMEMBER GOD ALWAYS
1. Man does not bring anything with him at the time of his birth. He accumulates everything during life-sojourn on earth. All the money, property and bank balance that you have was neither with you at the time of your birth and nor would it go with you after your death. Then where is the cause to weep and wail when you lose your wealth, property and bank balance.
2. Man is born not to weep and cry. He should lead a happy life and also leave the world happily. why should people worry for worldly possessions which are temporary and ephermereal. Consider everything as God's gift. There can be no society without individual. Therefore, individual is most important. Everything is the gift of God. All worldly things are temporary and impermanent. All these are like passing clouds which come and go. Sometimes thick clouds cover the sun or the moon and you can not see them. There is no need for any worry. If you wait for some time, the cloulds would move away and the sun or the moon will become visible again. What is required is a little patience and forbearance.
3. Man is endowed with great power and three is none in the entire creation who has as much power as man possesses. That is why God also incarnates in human for, There is none greater than God. Therefore to forget God is nothing less than a sacrilege. In fact, we should remember Him every moment of our life. Whatever task you many be engaged in, you should not forget God at any time. That is true humanness. God always gives man bliss and happiness. But due to our delusion, we consider even happiness as sorrow and undergo many types of sufferings.
4. True humanness lies in renouncing the fruits of our actions. It is the expectation of fruits that brings suffering to man. Prior to marriage, man is alone and he walks straight on his two legs. After the marriage, he gets two more legs. When a child is born he virtually becomes a six legged creature. As his legs increase, his sorrows also go on increasing. When you lead your life with positive feelings, there can no scope for sorrow.
5. Never hurt the feelings of your parents who have given you birth and brought you up. But children today do not take care of their parents. They forget their mother who carried them in her womb for nine months, gave birth to them, nursed them, nurtured them , bearing all hardships. You may love your wife but you should treat your parents with humility and respect. Parents should be given foremost importance. Your life will be happy only when you make your parents happy.
6. Why do you pray to God? You pray for peace, happiness, love and bliss. Truly speaking, peace is within you. It is useless to search it outside. Simlarly, truth and love are within you. If you have love, you can attain everything. If you understand the true meaning of love and make proper use of it, you will make great progress in life. Except love, nothing can protect us. Therefore, all of you should understand the principle of love.

GOD IS ONE
1. There is no diversity in this world, there is only oneness. One God appears in many form. Love is God and God is love. The differences, conflicts and quarrels that are prevalent in the world today are mainly due to lack of love in the heart of human being. Many talk in several ways that the world is full of sorrows, miseries and difficulties. In fact nothing of this sort exists this is only a delusion. When there is peace in our heart, we will see peace everywhere. On the contrary, if we have no peace in our heart, then we will find restlessness everywhere. All the restlessness, sorrows and anxieties are our own reaction, reflection and sound. These are all our own making; they do not have any real existence.
2. In only you have faith in God, you can achieve anything. Those who worship God with faith are benefited in every way. Some people develop faith only when their desires are fulfilled. But when their desires are not fulfilled, they lose faith. You should have firm faith whether your desires are fulfilled or not. You should keep your faith safe and secure. If you firmly hold on to the Lord, you can progress to any extent. With faith, even a blind man can see and a dumb man can speak !
3. Everything in the universe happens by the Will of God. Therefore, it is the duty of every person to know the Will of God. Those who have faith in the Will of God are protected; those who lack faith ruin their lives. Man can attain everything with faith and love. Where there is faith there is love.
4. God is manifest in the breath of man. When you breathe, where does the breath come from? It comes from whithin man; the breath itself is God. God is present in man in the form of love; hence man should treasure the love in his heart safely. Only love is permanent and eternal; other thoughts come and go like passing clouds. Perform every task with love. Even if you come across your enemy greet him with love.
5. Every man is prone to commit mistakes either wittingly or unwittingly. But, one mistake he should not commit in any circumstance is to forget what he owes to his mother. Love of a mother can redeem a man’s life, whatever his other lapses may be. The greatest gift of the parents is the body, with all its powers. Although the Lord rules over all lives. It is the parents who have endowed the body to the child. Clay and water are the gifts of nature. But, it is the potter who makes the pot out of them. Hence, gratitude to the parents is a primary obligation.
6. Good and bad coexist. It is not possible for anyone to separate them. When you cultivate more of goodness, the bad in you will become absolutely insignificant. There is no need to use any force to drive away all that is bad. When you forget bad, goodness will develop in you in full measure. The fruits that you earn will be based on your qualities and actions. All that you think will be reflected back to you. Everything is the result of your thoughts
7. One should be prepared to serve others than choose to be served by them. Moreover, there is nothing meritorious in serving those who are high above us. For one thing, they can command the services of attendants. Rendering service to those who are in the same position as ourselves is not also commendable. Service should be rendered to those who are worse off than ourselves and who are neglected by the world.
2. In only you have faith in God, you can achieve anything. Those who worship God with faith are benefited in every way. Some people develop faith only when their desires are fulfilled. But when their desires are not fulfilled, they lose faith. You should have firm faith whether your desires are fulfilled or not. You should keep your faith safe and secure. If you firmly hold on to the Lord, you can progress to any extent. With faith, even a blind man can see and a dumb man can speak !
3. Everything in the universe happens by the Will of God. Therefore, it is the duty of every person to know the Will of God. Those who have faith in the Will of God are protected; those who lack faith ruin their lives. Man can attain everything with faith and love. Where there is faith there is love.
4. God is manifest in the breath of man. When you breathe, where does the breath come from? It comes from whithin man; the breath itself is God. God is present in man in the form of love; hence man should treasure the love in his heart safely. Only love is permanent and eternal; other thoughts come and go like passing clouds. Perform every task with love. Even if you come across your enemy greet him with love.
5. Every man is prone to commit mistakes either wittingly or unwittingly. But, one mistake he should not commit in any circumstance is to forget what he owes to his mother. Love of a mother can redeem a man’s life, whatever his other lapses may be. The greatest gift of the parents is the body, with all its powers. Although the Lord rules over all lives. It is the parents who have endowed the body to the child. Clay and water are the gifts of nature. But, it is the potter who makes the pot out of them. Hence, gratitude to the parents is a primary obligation.
