Without a Guru’s Anugraha, it is not possible to find God. If God Himself has become the Guru, what greater fortune! The path is Him, the goal is Him. Can we be ever doubtful that we will never reach our goal? No! Because we know the path is also Him and the goal is also Him. So for sure this Guru will take us to our destination. That is Sathya Sai Baba as a Guru, who teaches this path of looking inward. See Always Inside – SAI. If you follow this path, you can be sure that you are going to meet your destination, because He Himself is the goal, He Himself is the path! - Baba

INNER VIEW
By Sri Madhusudan Sai
God Chants Your Name
We remember God, but how do we make God remember us? If you ever had this question, then this is just for you.
While speaking to Seva volunteers, Swami said, “When you become a servant of God more than you remembering God, it’s God who remembers you. He keeps calling on you to serve Him and so, it’s God who chants your name instead of you chanting the name of God.”
Well, now you know, if you want to be on top of God’s mind and want God to remember your name, become a servant of God.
