| Date: Sunday, August 10, 2014 | | | The Reality which sustains the cosmos and the cell is one, the all-pervasive Consciousness (Brahmam). When this infinite vastness is related to the cosmos, it is called the 'Supreme Divine' (Paramatma). It is called Atma when it is considered as the core of individual beings. All three are one entity, but they 'appear' different and delude the short-sighted. This characteristic is known as Maya. The Supreme Power uses the three Gunas, serenity (Satwa), activity (Rajas) and inertia (tamas) to express Itself differently. The Gunas urge a person towards knowing, desiring or working. When Maya impels Brahmam to project itself, leveraging Satwa Guna, it appears as Eshwara or God. Brahmam projects itself as living beings (Jivi) leveraging Rajo Guna. It becomes Nature (Prakriti) when associated with Tamo Guna. Thus Brahmam is the basis of all three – Nature, Living Beings and God. Maya is the mirror in which Brahmam is reflected. (Divine Discourse, Sep 7, 1985)  -Sri Sathya Sai Baba | | | | Date: Saturday, August 09, 2014 | | | The foundation for everything is morality. Without moral values, humanity cannot survive. Often, people of different religions hold on to different objectives and are unable to see the underlying reality, and as a result have different opinions. For example: one says a rupee consists of 4 quarter rupees and another says it is 2 half-rupees and the third says it is ten 10 paisa. All these denominations mean the same rupee. Only ignorant people, who become dogmatic and fail to perceive this oneness, imagine differences and resort to criticizing each other. Sacred scriptures have taught that there should be no arguments or debates on religious matters. They must be resolved peacefully. The guidelines of all religions lead to the end goal of Truth and Righteousness.
