Bhagawans' Divine Discourse on His 71st Birthday on 23/11/1996 in Prashanthi Nilayam


Embodiments of divine love,

One may be a scholar of ancient scripts, one may posses knowledge, one may have great mansions but reject of love is useless. It's better to be a servant with love than a ruthless ruler. Love is wealth, love is righteousness, love is truth. The whole universe depends on love. 

Today, man is not devoted to know the nature of love. Today, man is in the worldly life of things. The reason is that selfishness is increasing, sharing and offering is in the decline, desires are increasing and ideas are decreasing. It's righteousness that prevails. Love is righteousness. Today, it's this divinity which is forgotten. It's this reason the whole world is full of problems. A heart without love is like a barren land. Fill your hearts with love. It's love that unifies mankind. The day selfishness is given up, the kingdom of divinity with unity in heart will prevail. God is Love, Love is God. At all time, positive and negative, love should be there. It's a forest of renovention. Love should be both in ones behaviour, in ones mind and brainwaves. It's love that is awareness. In order to make the wicked mind divine, the only way is Love. To experience the divine love is through the divine path. Love is the seed, task and truth.

Man today is dwelling for money and position. No doubt it is needy but it has certain limits. Like the body which should partake food under certain limit. Eat access and you suffer from sickness. Everything has to be used under surveilance, but love is limitless, indefinable. Therefore, it's love that gives essence to the mind. To attain this love is not through meditation, going to the shrine, penance. He's in our heart. Shut your mouth and open your heart. 

We are the very embodiments of love, how is it that we want to acquire and posses. Human life should be one of love. What is this Love? It's the spirit of total surrender. Love has no form, indefinable, beyond descretion. The present problem today is the absence of Love. Everything is related to the body. There's only body feelings but not the spiritual.  The fundamental is Love. Love ends with 'Soham' ( I am Atma). Atma is love, Brahma, truth, righteousness. Where there's love, there's no envy, hatred. Once love is seated in our hearts, other forms cannot go in. Heart is the center of Love. Follow one word and one path. Under any circumstances, we should consider our heart. Why do we suffer from deseases? Because of meaningless physical desires. Power of love unifies the world. Love is the main core. What sort of love? Give and take. Receive divine love, offer your love. Share love because this is the nature of love. We tale love in the narrow sense. Love is beyond all definitions. Love is the main cause of everything. You may prepare any number of sweets, but sugar is one. Without sugar you have no sweets. Love is like Gangga (a holy river in India). Only Gangga will quench your thirst. 

God is present in all matters. In order to grow spiritual bliss, you have to improve your property of God! None of the companies you invest is useful. Divine love should be the main investment. Insure your love rather than your money. we should deposit love in the 'bank' of our Heart. Love is immortal. Where there is total surrender, there will be satisfaction. God is love, love is His form. That love is your property but you cannot collect love in your hand. Divine love is all around us. Praise God, cry and yearn for God. You set tears for worldly things and physical but not for God. If you submit yourself with divine love and devotion, you will receive your fruits of love. Never measure God as your property, not by the possesions of the world, but you can only weigh God with your love. Without this love, you have no right to ask from God. Preach a drop of love, it's enough. God's love shines like a light house. Follow the direction of the light. Don't go the other way. You are sure to reach your goal. Mediatate on love. Do your work with the thought that everything is God, Divine. Do your duty to the world. Everything is Ananda. Offer yourself to the intellect, your intellect to the society. Follow the path of righteousness, you will attain bliss. Love your enemy. Love those who harm you. The whole universe is a dimple of God. Surrender with tears of joy. That's the main door out. By singing God's name, you merge in God. See God within yourself. Singing is peaceful. Music is God's gift. 

All the difficulties and sorrows are for your own good. No matter what happens say 'It is good for me'. My whole life is love. I'm 71 now. I have no enemies. I've never done harm to anyone nor does anyone hate me. I am all Love - from my toe nail to hair.  The 3 P's - first be Pure, then Purity and then Perseverence. It's the magnet of love that acquires divine power. Rust is jealousy, hatred. Magnet has power. But the iron maybe rusted. Clean the iron, then use the magnet. It attracts the iron. The whole world should be full of love. Then, there won't be jealousy, hatred and pride. Kill jealousy, hatred and pride with love. Develop love. Kill the sin. Don't allow scandals to come near you. The further they are, the happier you are. Wherever you are, have a sacred heart. It's Love that redeems your life. You don't need to bring offerings to God, all you need is Love.
