General Taheri accepts Soraya’s proposal to marry him, but she insists on keeping her past a secret. At 18, Soraya ran away with an Afghan man and lived with him for a month, causing a scandal. Amir, his wife, and Soraya visit Baba at the hospital, where Amir asks for his permission to marry Soraya.
Amir and Soraya try to have a child, but after a year of not being able to get pregnant, they decide to consult a doctor. Soraya’s secret is that she ran away with an Afghan man when she was 18, living together for a month. This caused a huge scandal in her, and Soraya cared for Baba as if he were her own father.
Amir is engaged to Soraya, but the engagement period is cut short due to Baba’s health. On his wedding day, Amir thinks about Rahim Khan and their traditional courting and marriage ceremony. The Taheris and Soraya’s secret is that she was once with another man when she was younger, living with him, which goes against Afghani culture.
The essay uses The Kite Runner, a novel written by Khaled Hosseini in 2003, to analyze what is missing in the novel. Baba is diagnosed with lung cancer, and Amir finds out but is forbidden from telling anyone. He insists on keeping it a secret, although eventually the story becomes more complex.
📹 Sai Baba,A Shameless Fraud – Totally Exposed
More info here: http://exposedsaibaba.blogspot.com/ After seeing this only the most gullible fools will still stretch there imagination …
What story does Baba tell Amir about Soraya?
Amir inquires about Soraya, who has been rumored about her past relationship with a man. Baba, hesitant to spread gossip, reveals that Soraya was once romantically involved with a man, but it ended in a loss of honor. Since then, no men have tried to court her. Amir falls asleep thinking of Soraya’s face. Hosseini critiques the Afghan double standard, where a woman’s relationship with a man outside marriage is shameful and gossip-worthy, while a man’s involvement is considered “having fun”.
What did Baba lie about?
Baba lied about Hassan being his son to avoid admitting his sex with Sanaubar, Ali’s wife and a Hazara woman. Rahim Khan, who lied to Amir about an American couple taking in Sohrab, a Hassan’s son, disappears because he knew that Amir would realize the lie and bring the boy to him. Rahim Khan is dying and wishes to spend his last days alone.
Amir redeems himself by putting his life in America on the line to return to Afghanistan and rescue Sohrab. He confronts Assef, a trait he didn’t do for Hassan years ago, leading to his brutal beating. Amir takes Sohrab in and tells him the truth about Hassan’s identity. The scar on Amir’s upper lip, reminiscent of Hassan’s cleft lip, and his joy in running the kite for Sohrab are evidence of his redemption.
What is Baba diagnosed with?
In Chapter 12, Amir finally speaks to Soraya after a year of longing. General Taheri is away, but Soraya’s mother, Jamila, returns and asks Amir to sit. Amir declines, but eventually talks to Soraya only when General Taheri is away. Amir becomes focused on Baba, who is ill with lung cancer but refuses treatment. Baba forbids Amir from telling anyone about his illness.
Baba collapses, and Afghans arrive to see him in the hospital. Amir asks for Soraya’s hand in marriage, and Baba agrees. Amir puts Soraya on the line, but she tells him about her past, including running away with an Afghan man at age 18 and living together for nearly a month before General Taheri found her and took her home.
The next night, Amir and Baba go to the Taheris’ home for the traditional ceremony of “giving word”. General Taheri is happy and says they are doing it the right way now. They plan to have the wedding quickly, renting an Afghan banquet hall and buying necessary items. Amir remembers sitting on a sofa with Soraya, covered in a veil, and looking at each other’s reflections in a mirror.
Baby dies shortly after, and many Afghans whom Baba helped attend the funeral. As Amir listens to them pay their respects, he realizes how Baba defined who he is.
What secret does Soraya reveal about herself?
Soraya’s secret is that she was previously involved in a romantic relationship with another man, with whom she resided. This is a practice that is considered taboo in Afghan culture. Her father responded to her transgression by having her shave her head in his presence.
What secret did Baba and Soraya share?
The previously undisclosed experience of Soraya, which involved fleeing her home and residing with a man who was addicted to drugs for a period of one month when she was 18 years of age, is now accessible to the public. This has enabled her to process and cope with the experience. Amir is envious of her liberation from the constraints of secrecy, whereas Baba, Hassan’s biological father, maintained his own privacy.
Why did Baba sleep with Sanaubar?
The book presents the idea that Baba had a profound affection for his wife, Sanaubar. It is possible that he slept with Ali’s wife in order to prevent Sanaubar from becoming a mother, as Ali would have consented.
What is the secret of Baba in The Kite Runner?
Both Amir and Baba were privy to a secret regarding their Hazara servants. Amir’s betrayal of Hassan during his rape and Baba’s awareness of his involvement in Ali’s wife’s sexual activities and Hassan’s paternity were examples of this.
What is the rumor about Soraya?
Soraya, who was previously rumored to be a virgin, contacts Amir to discuss her past, including her 18-year-old runaway with a man. Amir, cognizant of the prevailing conjecture, is now apprised of her status as a non-virgin. He nevertheless expresses his intention to marry her, despite the circumstances of her past.
What does Baba say about Soraya’s rumored past?
Amir inquires about Soraya, who has been rumored about her past relationship with a man. Baba, hesitant to spread gossip, reveals that Soraya was once romantically involved with a man, but it ended in a loss of honor. Since then, no men have tried to court her. Amir falls asleep thinking of Soraya’s face. Hosseini critiques the Afghan double standard, where a woman’s relationship with a man outside marriage is shameful and gossip-worthy, while a man’s involvement is considered “having fun”.
Why is Baba guilty in The Kite Runner?
Baba, a wealthy and respected man, struggles to adapt to his new life in America. He transitions from a privileged life to a low-paying job at a gas station, but his relationship with Amir improves. Baba felt guilty for his privileged life, but with Hassan’s absence, his guilt diminishes. He can now act more openly with Amir, leading to a closer bond in his final years. Despite losing everything he had as a refugee, Baba dies genuinely happy, feeling proud of Amir and perhaps happy that he built a relationship with at least one of his sons.
What sin did Baba commit?
The novel revolves around Amir, a wealthy boy from Kabul, Afghanistan, who manipulates his privileged upbringing to benefit his servant and loyal best friend, Hassan. Hassan is raped by older boys after a kite-fighting tournament, and Amir’s character evolves from selfish to selfless adult. He marries Soraya, who cannot have children, and they adopt Hassan’s son, Sohrab.
Baba, the father of Amir and secretly to Hassan, is a larger-than-life figure who works hard and stands by his strict moral principles. His great sin is committing adultery with Ali’s wife, a Hazara woman, and hiding his true identity as Hassan’s real father. Baba’s works of charity, including the orphanage he builds, attempt to redeem himself from the guilt of not acknowledging Hassan as his son.
Hassan, Amir’s loyal childhood playmate and best friend, is a Hazara boy with a cleft lip, symbolizing his poor status in society. Despite his intelligence and kite runner abilities, Hassan is illiterate and seen as inferior in Afghan society. Despite his struggles, he remains loyal, forgiving, and good-natured, especially to Amir.
Throughout the novel, Hassan plays a major role in the character development of Amir, Baba, and even Sohrab. The novel explores themes of guilt, personal growth, and the consequences of one’s actions.
📹 10 Most Disturbing Cults That Are Still Active
These dangerous and disturbing cults may not be in the news anymore, but they are still very real. For this list, we’re looking at …
Thanks for exposing frauds and educating people! To me it’s rational thinking and common sense knowledge that all those who claim to possess any kind of supernatural powers are cons but there’s a lot of people who really do believe this stuff. Their eyes need to be opened and articles like this one are way to do it.
I WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT BABA’S TEMPLE IN SCARBOROUGH AND BABA WAS NOT THERE & I SAW SOMETHING SWIRLING AROUND LIKE A SMOKE RISING UP FROM THE BURNING INCENSE AND COMING DOWN FROM THE CEILING OF THE ROOM. THE SWAMI OPENED HIS EMPTY HANDS & i SAW THE SMOKE REACH SWAMI’S HANDS. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHY DID HE OPEN THE HAND FOR THE SMOKE & THEN i WAS CALLED TO COME FORWARD AND FROM THE SAME HAND HE GAVE ME A SMALL MURTI OF GANESHA. tHE WHOLE EVENT TOOK PLACE AS DESCRIBED HERE. I WAS NOT A BELIEVER OF GOD WHEN THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE
“Light and shadow cannot exist separately. There is a principle of unity between them. So, do not react to any criticism levelled against Swami or any other elder for that matter. Just brush it aside, saying, you have nothing to do with it. If someone points out mistakes in you, you can certainly rectify them. But if someone levels false charges against you, you don’t need to be worried over it. Be happy. If the criticism is made in a loud voice, it goes into the thin air.” ~Baba~
How Sathya Sai Baba Cured The Cancer of a Devout Christian “My son-in-law’s mother is a devout Christian and the wife of a pastor. At the age of seventy six, she developed breast cancer. It was very advanced, ulcerated, and quite smelly……Baba not only told my son-in-law about his mother’s problem, but also gave him Vibhuti and a Lingam…..Her consultant oncologist was awestruck to see her looking well, when she went for the follow up.” published by Sathya Sai Publications of New Zealand
Unfortunately people concentrate a small fraction of Baba, that is materialization and forget about the bigger miracles, teachings and their practice. This is the Sathya Sai Nigamagamam incident. The makers of the article approached Dr. B. V. Pattabhiram, the most famous magician, hypnotist, psychiatrist from Hyderabad. (In his youth, he visited Baba with a skeptical view to “expose” Baba. He observed closely and found his power is different from magicians work, he mentions a lot more in his book.
“HANDS THAT serve are holier than the lips that pray,” says Sri Sathya Sai Baba . Sai centres in more than 170 countries of the world. In all these centres, selfless service is rendered to the needy without any distinction on the basis of caste, creed, colour, religion, province, nationality or any other consideration………and selflessly serve them with body, mind and money from their own resources. No donations are collected by anybody in the organisation.
Super fraud man, whom I considered a God only till such time when the news broke about killing of two young men and the further cover ups. Even while I considered him as God, one small part of my mind always asked a question. And that is, how is his science defying magics are possible. But my family made me to scare to even think about such things. I feel shame even today that I considered him as a God even though it was only for a brief time.
So Says Sai “Where there is love, there is no room either for hatred or for disease. When there is no love, there will be hatred towards others and that hatred will develop into a big disease. Jealousy, anger, and ego are the biggest diseases. If you want to keep yourself aloof from these three diseases, you must try to love everybody.”
Dr. B. V. Pattabhiram’s book is Mahimanvitha Murthi, meaning, the man of miracles. One has to physically meet people and the places and find their experiences. In his book, he says, the makers cut a good minute run of article from the original to make it look like Baba takes a chain under the trophy and then gives it to the architect. The maker approached three more magicians who said they would resort to such fraud of doctoring the article. It went around for 83 days here and there finding no paper
Swami says about how to purify one’s thoughts and the mind: How should one purify one’s thoughts? The moment a bad thought comes, you should try to teach your mind, “Oh mind! Are you on the path of human values or on the path of an animal? This thought is an animal thought. You are not animal. The one with Manas (mind) is man…”
MAN MUST DIE TRIUMPHANT OVER DEATH “Man is equipped with a return ticket, when he takes birth. Holding it in his grasp he earns and spends, rises and falls, sings and dances, weeps and wails, forgetting the end of the journey. But, though he forgets, the wagon of life moves towards the cemetery, which is its terminus. It brings no glory to man if he is tied helplessly to the wheel of birth and death. His glory and greatness consists in disentangling himself from that revolving wheel.”~Sai Baba~
“Light and shadow cannot exist separately. There is a principle of unity between them. So, do not react to any criticism levelled against Swami or any other elder for that matter. Just brush it aside, saying, you have nothing to do with it. If someone points out mistakes in you, you can certainly rectify them. But if someone levels false charges against you, you don’t need to be worried over it. Be happy. If the criticism is made in a loud voice, it goes into the thin air.” ~ Sathya Sai Baba ~
FEW HAVE REALIZED MY PURPOSE AND SIGNIFICANCE “I never exult when I am extolled, nor cower when I am reviled. Few have realized My purpose and significance; but I am not worried. When things that are not in Me are attributed to Me, why should I worry? When things that are in Me are mentioned, why should I exult? ” – Sathya Sai Baba
@wetgranny Lakshman Bhai from Rajkot, Gujarat was the next speaker. He said that a massive earthquake shook Gujarat in 2001. Many buildings crumbled in that impact. First the members of Sri Sathya Sai Organisation came to our help. Then Bhagawan sent truckloads of relief material containing food, medicines, clothes and articles of daily need. Under the leadership of Sri Chiranjeeva Rao, foodgrains, clothes and tents were laid. We express our gratitude to Bhagawan.
“God draws the individual towards Himself. It is the nature of both to have this mutual affinity; they are just like the iron and magnet. But if the iron is rusty, covered with layers of dirt, the magnet is unable to attract. Remove the impurities, then you will shine forth in your real nature and the Lord will draw you unto Him.” – Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today 31st January 2013
@4bbc “Beware, beware!” After uttering this warning, Jesus vanished. On waking up in the morning Saul (as Paul was known before his transformation) lamented that he had been false to this human nature by deriding and condemning fellow beings. He felt that Jesus was doing many good deeds. He was one who could not bear the sight of others sufferings. He was showering love on everyone. ………….From that date Saul became a devotee of Jesus and came to be known as St. Paul.” – Baba
Before my cousin was suffering with cancer, I was not aware of Sataya Sai Baba. Can any of you answer that WHY MY BROTHER RECOVERED FROM CANCER WITH IN 10MIN WHEN THIS MAN BLESS HIM, HE WAS AT THE LAST STAGE OF CANCER?????? When you will learn how to mix the articles then you will come to know how these articles are made. There are courses in INDIA for article mixing named 1. CLAW and 2. MAYA, in this studies they will teach you to how to created fake articles by mixing them. I ONLY KNOW THAT MY COUSIN RECOVERED FROM CANCER WITH IN 10MIN WHEN THIS MAN BLESSED HIM. THIS HAS STARTED FREE MEDICAL HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND PEOPLE FROM USA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW-ZEALAND, EVEN FROM PAKISTAN, EUROPE COME TO HIS MEDICAL HOSPITALS FOR TREATMENTS. IT IS EASY TO POINT SOMEONE WHEN HE IS NOT ALIVE AS A HUMAN. BEING AS MY RELIGION I AM A CHRISTIAN, BUT YES I DO RESPECT THIS MAN, REALLY HE WAS A NICE SPRIT SEND BY GOD.
That matter can be converted into energy and energy into matter is proved by Einstein’s famous equation, E=MC^2. While converting matter into energy is easy, the reverse process of converting energy into matter is very difficult as you need a huge amount of energy to get even a minuscule amount of matter. Indian Yogis have proven that materialising and dematerializing is possible. Things like teleportation is possible. The great American scientist Tesla had gone far ahead of his time in conducting teleportation. So, to say all this is unscientific would be naive. Yes, science may not have understood these phenomena as of date. But this Baba was simply tricking his vulnerable “devotees” into believing that he was producing something out of thin air, when all that he was doing was hiding things in his hand and taking them out like a stage magician, and the worst part was that he gave it a divine color!! One thing I should give credit to him: he disproved the saying that you can’t deceive all the people all the time..!! he was able to keep lakhs of people all over the world believing he was divine through these tricks for decades till he died!!! Even today after his rather miserable death, there are many educated people who, even after seeing articles like this, still believe he was divine!!
The pictures are so unclear that any interpretation can be given. It appears that the article is intended to harm Sai Baba. This is especially so because this appears to be the only article by DasistGenoog. A fair judgement should take into account the transformation of a poor village to a city with Airports. Hospitals, Universities, Did this happen on account of his ‘shameless fraud’ I strongly recommend that the article be removed from You Tube.
“The mind, by sheer force of negative forces, gets lost in false values and is unable to develop along the right lines. Such a mind, turned away from good, might cause indescribable evil. All progress won by the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) might be destroyed by such a mind in an unguarded moment, like a spark falling on a keg of gun powder because of a moment’s negligence! ” – Sathya Sai Baba

Everyone will see Jesus coming as king and Judge on Judgement day…..many might hate me for my words….Jesus came to die for every man and women for their sins….thats y He came….if you still want to hate the person who laid down His life for you go ahead …..the judgement day will come and all will stand before Christ…..thats the fact ….
VIBHUTHI CANCELS CANCER Once an advocate arrived at Prashanti Nilayam. He was a chronic smoker. Cancer afflicted his throat. Doctors advised surgery, along with radiation and chemotherapy……..But now, he noticed that he could eat comfortably and relish it. He was surprised. With his finger, he probed inside his mouth at the cancer-affected spot. He felt no pain at all. He realized that the cancer had gone. He was overwhelmed. Tears flooded his eyes as he remembered Bhagavan’s mercy.
@royalsing @kindheartist your friend? “Like-minded people attract like-minded friends; a drunkard befriends a drunkard; a thief befriends a thief; a musician befriends a musician; a doctor befriends a doctor; and a lawyer befriends a lawyer. The noble-minded people befriend only the noble-minded ones. Even our noble thoughts undergo an evil change in the company of evil people.” – Sathya Sai Baba
He has done many great things,which even can’t be done by the government, he has cleared the thirst of water of the people of ananthapur.My grandfather got his eye operated in the sai’s super speciality hospital with free of cost . Who can do all these of expensive works with free of cost? There are many people who got their lives and of their well beings in his hospital which costs very high with a free charge. There are very few schools which offer their students a high quality education along with a good values with a free of cost along with accommodation . Does the people who made this article can do all these things? I am not negotiating with this article but why can’t you show both the pros and cones of him. If the user who provides this article feels so much responsible by making a show of his tricks then he must prove himself as unbiased by including the great things done by SAI ( with a proper research ) in this article .Don’t do the article with half content.
CONTEMPLATE ON GOD “Death stalks its prey everywhere, at all times with relentless determination. It pursues its victims into hospitals, hill-stations, theaters, aeroplanes, submarines, in fact, no one can escape it or take refuge from its grasp. God alone is the giver of life, the guardian of life and the goal of life. Do not contemplate on Death; it is just an incident in life; contemplate on God, who is the master of all life—God who is the Indweller in this physical frame.” ~ Sai Baba ~
has Sai Baba converted anyone into Christianity with his acts? has hr spent any money for himself? human mind needs magic moments to understand god. so he did few magic tricks to them. sai baba provided drinking water to several thousands of villages. given free medicine, education and treatment to millions. instead of doing research and r&d, one shud look for finding the truth and peace in life.
“You may think that it is a marvellous phenomenon that the Supreme Being should come down to earth in human form. But if you are in My position, you will not be so wonder-struck. I am fully aware of the past, the present and the future of everyone of you. That is why I do not get overwhelmed with pity. Not that I do not have compassion and love. My heart is certainly not made of stone. But if you shut the door of your heart, how can the waves of My sweet love penetrate beyond?” Baba
Thanks ra mama nee article evidence vadukovachu. But what I don’t understand is how that vibudhi(white powder) falls from Satya Sai Baba pictures in individual houses of educated people?!? Are they simply lying because these people add to the myth of baba making people unable to call this fake baba out. But he provided a lot of education for a lot people which I won’t deny.
@5micRecords, “Some people cannot tolerate glory in others; some are filled with the venom of envy; some are demonic in nature and cannot tolerate holiness and divinity; some are perverted by disappointment and cast the blame on God; such people will indulge in abuse. If you associate with such people and their followers, you will only be contaminating your mind. ” – Baba
The Growth of Demonic Nature in Man “Although man has come from Madhava (God), he is enveloped in a Bhrama (delusion) which obscures the Brahma (Divinity) within him. So long as one is in the grip of this delusion one cannot understand God. Because of this delusion one gets attached to the body and develops limitless desires. This leads to the growth of the Asura (demonic) nature in him.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
so many of them responded telling that we, HIS devotees are tricked by Him…. i am sad that they pretty much could not accept and digest the idea that we love Him not for His miracles but the love and compassion he showers on each of us individually… i am staying outside India and have been to His place only once… in my visit i never witnessed ANY miracles… but I love him for the personal attention he showers to all, even back in your own countries which cannot be accomplished by anyone
It is nonsense to show this kind of tape to demoralize BABA’s followers who are than respectfully enjoying whatever the Sai doing, so why this nonsense the British Church want to say, gentleman please tell us, is there any one like Sai, who did plenty of good act to lots of poor and home less Indian citizen ; the free shelters,free water, the free hospitals, and free education lower and higher, ……dear this is bad PROPAGANDA against Hindu religion and belief …whatever, we always love our SAI BABA.
“The beliefs and practices of the past are condemned as superstitions by the inheritors of that very heritage! I won’t agree with people who dismiss them as superstitions; for, they gave those who believed and acted according to the belief, the most precious treasure of Aanandha and Shaanthi. They helped to pull out the poisonous fangs of karma, fangs which inject greed, egoism and hate.” ~ Sathya Sai Baba ~
@ggaurava1 DIVE DEEP, GET IMMERSED “You must dive deep into the sea to get at the pearls. What good is it to dabble among the waves near the shore and swear that the sea has no pearls in it? So also if you aspire to benefit from the Avatar, dive deep and get immersed in Him. Half-heartedness, hesitation, doubt, cynicism, listening to tales, etc. are all of no avail. ” – Baba
Nope ! He didn’t do such a thing ! Satya Sai Baba was a Great guy who got water and vegetation in Puttaparthi and surrounding areas. Mind you that anantapur was once a Vegetation-less Desert. When congress never responded to the near desert-like situation in n around Ananthapur, it was Sathya Sai Guru Maharaj who actively responded 2 this. Jai Sai Ram ! Jai Sai Shyam !
A Miraculous Cure: Heart Surgery Cancelled The next day, the elderly couple visited the doctor again and the lady went through the same tests, a second time. To the utter astonishment of everyone, the results simply did not show any trait of a heart ailment……………….When the prescription was produced, the doctor just crossed it exactly the way Satya Sai Baba had done in the dream! Surging gratitude from the heart flowed down as tears on the cheeks of the devotee!

“Youth and old age are related to the body and not to Me. I am always the same. I can do anything. However, this body is yours. This has come for your sake. You can change it the way you like. If you think that Swami is strong and healthy, yes so He is. There is no weakness in Me. My angas (limbs) may appear to be weak. But I am not Angaswarupa, I am Atmaswarupa. Wherever you may go, worship God as Atmaswarupa. Do not identify Him with an Akara (form).” – Sathya Sai Speaks – Vol 36. Ch 14.
@tribalfriend1 “My activities are not for publicity or propaganda or even to confer joy on others! They are for conferring joy primarily on Me! I have no need to please others and to earn approval or appreciation. For, I and you are not distinct entities; you are I and I am you. I am the current that flows into every bulb and illumines it. Those who see Me as separate are seeing falsehood. I am in your hearts; you are in mine. Don’t be misled into doubt and distress.” – Baba
“Be always saturated with prema, do not use poisonous words against any one, for, words wound more fatally than even arrows. Speak soft and sweet; sympathise with suffering and loss and ignorance; try your best to apply the salve of soothing word and timely succour. Do not damage the faith of any one in virtue and divinity. Encourage others to have that faith by demonstrating in your own life that virtue is its own reward, that divinity is allpervasive and all-powerful.”~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
“When you love Me, you love all; for you begin to feel, know and experience that I am in all. By means of meditation, you can realize that I am the resident in all hearts, the urge, the motive, the guide and the goal. Yearn for that vision, that awareness and make it your priceless possession. Then, you have what you often ask Me for… Sakshathkara (direct vision of reality). Your love has to be pure and free from the taint of ego, so that it can merge in Me.” ~ Sathya Sai Baba ~
@delagrazia “…Let Me draw your attention to another fact. On previous occasions when God incarnated on earth, the bliss of recognising His Divine nature was vouchsafed only after the Avatar had left the world, in spite of plenty of patent evidences of His Grace. And the loyalty and devotion they commanded from men arose through fear and awe, at their superhuman powers and skills, or at their imperial and penal authority. ” – Baba
LATEST NEWS FROM PUTTAPARTHI on April 27th when Baba’s Body was to be lowered into the Samadhi, thousands of people were lining up to pay their respects, all of a sudden, in scorching DAYLIGHT, the MOON appeared and Baba’s Face was visibly clear inside it, 9 Garudas in a circle with a White Chariot was seen clearly across the Sky, the crowd roared and clapped, many broke down in tears, my close friends witnessed this Divine Vision along with thousands, Baba’s Miracles live on …..JAI SAI RAM !
@ggaurava1 THE MESSAGE I BRING “All religions teach one basic discipline – the removal of the blemish of egoism from the mind, restraining it from running after trivial joys. Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the Glory of God, and evict the pettiness of conceit. It trains him in methods of detachment and discrimination so that he may aim high and attain liberation. ” – Baba
“Today some people carry on propaganda to cast aspersions on the actions of the Divine by misrepresentation and misinterpretation. They declare: “God punishes you, God persecutes you.” This is totally misconceived. It is not God’s business to punish you or harass you. The punishment and the persecution are consequences of your actions.” – Sathya Sai Baba
@ggaurava1 “Only an ardent devotee can understand and experience the bliss of oneness with God. Sugar tastes bitter to a person suffering from malaria. The defect lies in their tongue, not in the sugar. So is the case with a person immersed in worldly desires. If you are immersed in it, you cannot experience the sweetness of Divinity.” – Baba
“Many of you are anxious thinking that Swami is not keeping good health over the last few days. In fact, My health is very good. Real health is not related to the body. As you equate Swami with this physical frame, it appears as though Swami is not well. Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati (as is the feeling, so is the result). Do not identify Me with this physical body. I am not Dehaswarupa (body), I am Dehi (the indweller). ” – Sathya Sai Speaks – Vol 36. Chapter 14.
“You may have heard about the life of St. Paul. In the beginning he was bitterly opposed to Jesus. He was ceaselessly criticizing Jesus. One day Jesus appeared in his dream and said: “Saul, are you not a human being? Is it proper for you to revile one who has done you no harm, has entertained no evil thoughts about you and has not led you to wrong ways? What harm have I done to you? Why are you abusing me? This is sheer folly. You are thereby demeaning yourself. ” – Baba
“God is not responsible for the grief and the pain that one experiences. The sins one commits are the progenitors of the grief one suffers. Joy and sorrow are the consequences of the good and the evil that one perpetrates. God is merely a witness. He does not punish, nor does He cause grief. ” – Sathya Sai Baba
@Shamanlame “I shall tell you why I give these rings, talismans, rosaries etc. It is to signalise the bond between Me and those to whom they are given. When calamity befalls them, the article comes to Me in a flash and returns in a flash taking from Me the remedial Grace of protection. That Grace is available to all who call on Me in any Name or Form, not merely to those who wear these gifts. Love is the bond that wins Grace.” – Baba
DISASTERS “Today in many parts of the world Nature is causing various disasters such as earthquakes, famines, floods and volcanic eruptions. What is the reason? The spiritual lapses of man account for these calamities. Disturbances in the heart (human heart) are reflected in earthquakes. Fill your minds with good thoughts and engage yourselves in good actions. Chant the Lord’s name.” – Sathya Sai Baba (Discourse in the Puurnachandhra Auditorium on 7-10-1993)
God is One! We all Know it…. People think Indians have many Gods…. But that’s not true, we just have many forms of God……. May it be Jesus, Allah, Ganesh or Sai Baba, we should not be disrespectful or insultive towards any Divine…… Just as how we don’t disrespect our own God, we shouldn’t disrespect other Gods too….. #To all of u who are reading my comment…….. Plz respect others feelings and views too…If u believe in Sai Baba no problem, if u don’t believe also its totally ok. But plz kindly request you not to make anymore unpleasant comments again……..
DIVINE HAS COME AMONG MANKIND “Since the uniquely powerful impact of Sathya Sai has become world-wide, many ignorant persons afflicted with envy and monetary greed are attempting to spin malicious tales to belittle and defame the culture of Bhaarath. The envious mind will be ever engaged in wrong. This has been so in every age when the Divine has come among mankind. But despite such tactics, the task will not falter, the Triumph will not be delayed.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
NOTHING CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT FAITH IN GOD “His mind, which is the real culprit, has to be cleansed of all evil. He believes in the false and unreal and does not relish Truth, Goodness and Beauty. He can acquire real peace and joy only when he turns his thoughts to God and away from the petty tinsel of the world. Without faith in God there is nothing that man can achieve, whatever his knowledge and wealth may be.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
“The body is the temple of God and therefore it has to be maintained, unsuffered by disease and distress. It ‘has not been offered to man for catering to one’s selfish vagaries. Jesus sanctified his body by sacrificing it for saving others. He was conscious of that supreme purpose and duty. With faith in the one-ness of humanity, he stood against opponents and critics and confronted their onslaughts.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
EARTHQUAKES “By building gigantic dams and storing huge quantities of water in one place, the earth goes down in that area and consequently goes up in another area, like a see-saw. The indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources by the scientists and technologists such as various types of mines for extracting minerals, mica, coal, petrol and other oils results in imbalance and pollution of the five major elements, leading to catastrophes like EARTHQUAKES etc.” – Sathya Sai Baba
“I am always healthy. Not only today, till 96 years I will be like this. I can do whatever I want. But those who go by the physical form think that Swami is ageing. Youth and old age are related to the body and not to Me. I am always the same. I can do anything.” – Sathya Sai Speaks – Vol 36. Chapter 14.
Live in constant thought of God “You must live in the constant thought of God as well as of another FACT, Death. The body is the car in which you are riding to death. You may meet death any moment, while riding; some tree or lorry or ditch or slush will bring it. Remember Death Remember that time is running out every moment; then, you will not be tempted to waste time in idle talk or vain pursuits or wanton mischief or vulgar entertainment.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
@delagrazia “I have not come for propaganda or publicity or gathering disciples or devotees. I am yours and you are Mine. Where then is the need for publicity? I do not give lectures but `mixtures’ for your mental health and moral re-invigoration. So take My words as medicine for your spiritual health.” – Baba
@DasIstGenoog “Each one of you should transform yourself into a Sumathi (person with good intelligence). You should avoid turning into a Durmathi (person with perverted, polluted intelligence). A huge heap of fuel can be reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire. A drop of poison can render a pot of milk totally undrinkable. Envy and hatred are the sparks that destroy the cluster of virtues in you. Beware! ” – Baba

@wetgranny THE MESSAGE I BRING “All religions teach one basic discipline – the removal of the blemish of egoism from the mind, restraining it from running after trivial joys. Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the Glory of God, and evict the pettiness of conceit. It trains him in methods of detachment and discrimination so that he may aim high and attain liberation. ” – Baba
@Shamanlame Why argue over Me? “Who exactly is the Baba, you discuss and debate?! What does it matter to you who I am? You are concerned about your goal, your ideal, your experience, your effort, is it not? Why then worry about My Origin, My Nature, My Mystery, My Miracle? When you cannot grasp your own basic reality, why waste time in exploring the essence of Godhead? As a matter of fact, you can understand Me only when you have understood yourself, your own Truth.” – Baba
“Today in many parts of the world Nature is causing various disasters such as earthquakes, famines, floods and volcanic eruptions. What is the reason? The spiritual lapses of man account for these calamities. Disturbances in the heart (human heart) are reflected in earthquakes. Fill your minds with good thoughts and engage yourselves in good actions. Chant the Lord’s name.” – Sathya Sai Baba (Discourse in the Puurnachandhra Auditorium on 7-10-1993, the day of Paadhuka Prathishttha.)
@tariqbkk So Says Sai “Don’t associate with any one who is afflicted with JEALOUSY, even at the cost of your life. JEALOUSY is the worst of all evil qualities. Three-fourths of the world is ruined because of JEALOUSY. It is very dangerous to cultivate association with people of evil traits. Even a little contact with them can pollute you with their evil qualities.”
@wetgranny In 2008, the State of Orissa was affected by flash floods. Many were affected. Bhagawan sent Sri A. Ramakrishna, Sri Kondal Rao and Sri V. Srinivasan to estimate the damage. 700 houses were constructed. “First the Seva Dals came and helped us, and then Swami gave us succour by constructing permanent houses for us”, said Sri Ravindranath Sahu from Orissa.
“You may have heard about the life of St. Paul. In the beginning he was bitterly opposed to Jesus. He was ceaselessly criticizing Jesus. One day Jesus appeared in his dream and said: “Saul, are you not a human being? Is it proper for you to revile one who has done you no harm, has entertained no evil thoughts about you and has not led you to wrong ways? What harm have I done to you? Why are you abusing me? This is sheer folly. You are thereby demeaning yourself. ” – Sathya Sai Baba
SHOWER HIS LOVE ON ALL MANKIND “Sai has come to indicate the omnipresence of God. The Avathaar has come down to declare that God is present everywhere. This is as necessary as the need for some one to light a lamp even if you have a lamp holder, oil and wick. The Avathaar comes not only to proclaim the eternal virtues but also to shower His love on all mankind. But each one will get the benefit according to the size of the vessel he holds.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

“The man filled with JEALOUSY and HATRED is like a blind man who cannot see the sun however brightly he may shine. He cannot see God however near God may be. Blinded by ignorance, the man filled with jealousy and hatred cannot hope to see God, like a blind man groping for something which is near him.” – Sathya Sai Baba
“IT WAS A MIRACLE” BY SHREE “In 1997, my mom took me to India; to Kodaikanal because I had a brain tumor. I had been paralyzed for two…taking chemotherapy at Stanford University. I went in to see Baba and I was crying and crying and crying and crying. “Why fear when I am here?” Baba said to me. Oh my God, I thought, and I stop crying. “Tumor?” He placed His hand on my head. “No tumor.” We returned to the states and I went back to Stanford University. It was a miracle. I had no tumor. Nothing.”
“Attach yourself to the Highest, call it by any name and conceive it in any form. But remember, without dharma (righteousness) you cannot attain it. If you yield to alpabuddhi (inferior thoughts), you will be losing the akhanda-thathwa (principle of the Universal). Don’t be led away into the bylanes; keep to the highway.” – Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today 22nd April 2012

At least 3,500 people have lost everything in Riosucio and many other villages, so we are planning to go there this time with 1000 toys for the children and some 5 tons of food (rice,lentils,sugar,salt,oil,cornflour and pasta). Probably it could be a one and a half month work . “
@santoclass = This website is not available. “All noble souls and incarnations in the past had also to put up with criticism. You may ask why at all such criticism should arise? Criticism, in fact, adds to their glory. Pleasure is an interval between two pains. Shadow follows light. One should not be afraid of shadow. There is light even in shadow.” – Baba

@shivrajvishnu Sai Baba : Healing comes from God. Think of God. God is everything. He will always do what is needed. Think only of surrendering to God. You may say, “I am healing others”, but this is just your ego speaking. Healing cannot come through the ego. Thinking that you are doing healing is very harmful. You are not the one who is doing the healing. You are only the instrument. God does everything. Think only of Him. Love Him.
He went bad. Brilliant but EGO (‘fame’) took him over. I stayed in (this) Baba’s ashram three times starting in 1991. I tossed (that is, in the trash) all the books I purchased on/by Baba. I attended many USA meetings and events regarding Baba. He should have gotten his “magic tricks” training from Penn and Teller in Vegas, especially the lingam out of the mouth trick; he’s bad at that, can be easily seen. No “enlightened human being” would pull such stunts. Many reports by folks about his child abuse. He was “generous” with the funds he received as donations. He was a good actor (played his role) in one sense. DO THE RESEARCH. (Retired psychologist)
@wetgranny Sai Baba: Through love, only through love. Develop divine love or Prema. Divine love is completely selfless. Human love is mostly selfish. All the time it thinks only of this little ‘I’. This little ‘I’ is the ego. Ego is a bad quality. It sees everything as separate. It sees everything as dual. Remove this ego and you will see only unity. Where there is duality, divinity will not be present. Think only of the basis of everything. Think only of God.

Blinded by ignorance, the man filled with jealousy and hatred cannot hope to see God, like a blind man groping for something which is near him.” – Sathya Sai Baba
@zackmahal, “Today the number of persons adhering to truth is one in a thousand or so. Most of one’s life is spent in untruth. A true being should lead a life based wholly on truth. Man is in desperate search of bliss in the external world, forgetting that the source of bliss is within him. Ignorance of his inherent Divinity makes a man miserable. When the ignorance goes, his blissful nature reveals itself. Man has to realise this basic truth.” – Baba
“But, ponder a moment on this Sathya Sai Manifestation; in this age of rampant materialism, aggressive disbelief and irreverence, what is it that brings to It the adoration of millions from all over the world? You will be convinced that the basic reason for this is the fact that this is the Supra-worldly Divinity in Human form.” – Baba
@santoclass “Good works always provoke the wicked. But one should not falter or fear when opposition obstructs. The challenge gives joy; it evokes hidden sources of strength; it brings down Grace to reinforce the effort. One has to struggle with difficulties in order to taste the delight of victory. Jesus was the target for many mighty obstacles and he braved them all. As a result, his name and story and message are shedding splendrous light all over the world now.” – Baba
“For the man filled with JEALOUSY, there is no sleep and he cannot even eat heartily. It is like a consumptive disease which weakens a person from inside. It is a wasting disease which is widespread in this Kali Yuga (AGE OF CONFLICT). It is because of jealousy that man is a prey to Ashaanthi (peacelessness).” – Sathya Sai Baba
