Sai Baba’s Teachings

When Sai Baba was asked how he is able to perform all these miracles he said that the reason is that he is God. The only difference between him and other people is that he knows it and the rest of humanity hasn’t realized it yet. In essence, he creates all these things with the power of his mind. These miracles are all very wonderful, but the most beautiful thing about Sai Baba is his unconditional love and absolute selflessness. He never charges for his miracles or creates a miracle for a selfish purpose. He is here only to love and serve.

He says he is not here to create a new religion but rather to repair the ancient highways to God. His recommendation is that a person keep whatever religion he or she is affiliated with. He will come to any sincere request for God, regardless of the form, for he says all forms are in reality one. He most eloquently states that

“There is only one religion, the religion of love.

There is only one language, the language of the heart.

There is only one race, the race of humanity.

There is only one God and He is omnipresent.”

His basic message is that everyone is God, the Christ, the Buddha, the Atma, the Eternal Self; that all should see themselves this way and see each person they meet this way, for how one treats each person one meets is how one treats Him.

His definition of God is this: “God equals man minus ego.” Ego is the illusionary belief in separation, fear, and selfishness. He says that it is “our minds that create bondage, and our minds that create liberation.” Another pearl of Sai Baba’s is, “Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.”

Two of the most important spiritual practices that Sai Baba recommends are the repeating of the name of God and singing of devotional songs. It does not matter what name of God is chanted or what is visualized. This is a very common practice in the Eastern religions, although much less so in the Western cultures. Mahatma Gandhi said that it was one of the keys to his success. He would chant the name Rama all the time. When he was assassinated, as he was dying he was saying the name Rama.

It is said in the Bhagavad-Gita that where one goes after death has to do with the last thought in one’s mind as one dies. I cannot recommend highly enough the practice of repeating the name of God and visualizing the form of God. Whenever a person gets off center or is being taken over by a negative emotion, it will work to clear negativity and reattune him to God. The singing of devotional songs is a similar practice, but it involves the emotional body a little more, which is quite wonderful.

Of gurus, Sai Baba said, “A guru is the Light to show one the road, but the destination is God. One is grateful to one’s guru but it is God that one worships.
