SAI: Pure love, Divine love is everything.
RB: How do human beings realize and become that divine, pure compassionate love?
SAI: It will come with sadhana. There is a big mistake in the consideration of meditation as the principal sadhana. What is meditation? Meditation controls the mind. It is mental. The genuine sadhana is that pure love which is not different from the Divine.
Seeing the Good in All.
H: In America , when they hear of Sai, some people declare that he is the Anti-Christ.
SAI: Some individual ideas of some people. Goldstein has individual ideas. Hislop has individual ideas. I know what is not good, and I know what is good. All my ideas and actions are based on what is good for the world. I am pure, I have no worries, I have no anxieties, I am happy always, I have no anger. I want nothing, take nothing, do nothing for myself. All I think, all I do at all times is for the good of the world.
H: We could also have the same ideas by doing as Swami does.
SAI: Yes, to follow Swami is the important thing. To follow this example is best.
RB: I am trying to follow Swami's instructions.
SAI: Trying? Trying is no good. Do it! Do it!
H: We can ask Swami for strength!
SAI: I will give strength! Sometimes there is wavering of faith in Sai. Thoughts arise, 'Why does Sai do this? Why does He do that?' Peter was near and dear to Christ. But he denied Christ.
H: Did he deny Christ because of fear for the safety of his body? Because of feeling that he was the body?
SAI: Yes. It was because of body identification. Judas was also near and dear. He was a good devotee. Jesus did not divide the disciples into good and bad.
H: I pray that my faith in Sai will not waver.
SAI: The important thing is to do good and be good. Do not see the bad. See only the good.
Swami’s Work Never Ends (Conversation while in a car).
SAI: This land (on our left beside the University) was bought today.
H: Today! How far does it go?
SAI: All of it, 28 acres. Cost is a lakh of rupees per acre.
H: That is expensive. The new buildings have raised the price.
SAI: Some owners are asking 3 lakhs per acre. Some years ago, the land was 100 rupees per acre.
H: Will more buildings go up on this new land?
SAI: Yes. More buildings. Laboratory, library, and housing for instructors and their families.
H: This year, with the new University and the teachers' training plan for instruction in human values throughout the entire school system of India, I can see that Sai is getting hold of India.
SAI: Amongst the spiritual leaders of India there is some jealousy.
H: But they do not have public works. Only Swami is doing that.
SAI: Sai Baba is working for the public twenty-four hours a day. Even the interviews are public work. Twenty-four hours per day, 365 days per year. Not even one holiday.
H: But that is beyond man. It is possible only for the Divine.
SAI: Yes. Only for the Divine. I need no holiday. I am always happy, always in bliss.
