Swami as a Guru

The Origin Of Sathya Sai Baba
. part 1 .
The year 1940 was indeed a momentous one when Sri Sathya Sai
Baba revealed His Divinity and set the stage for the work that would
ensue. The Sri Sathya Sai International Organisation observes October
20th each year as the Avatar Declaration Day, to remember, reflect
and assimilate the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba which in essence
is to “Love All, Serve All”.
I am Sai Baba

On the twenty-third of May, 1940, the fourteen year old Sathya rose
from bed as usual, but soon afterwards called the members of the
household round him and presented them with sugar-candy and flowers
taken from "nowhere." At this the neighbors rushed in. He gave each a
ball of rice cooked in milk, also flowers and sugar-candy, all manifested
by a mere wave of the hand.

Sathya seemed to be in such a very jovial state that Venkapa Raju was sent
for to see him in this welcome happy mood. Venkapa Raju rushed in and had
to squeeze his way through the crowd. The people asked him to wash his
feet, hands, and face before approaching the Giver of Boons. This incensed
Venkapa Raju. He was not impressed at all, thinking it was a trick and that
Sathya was hiding things somewhere and producing them by sleight of hand.

At least that was what he confessed to the author many years later. He wished
that this confusing chapter in their lives be closed before it developed into a
tragedy. So he laughed a bitter laugh and accosted the boy within everyone's
hearing, "This is getting too much; it must be stopped." Arming himself with a
stick, he moved a step nearer and threatened to beat it out of him. "Are you a
God, or a ghost, or a mad- cap? Tell me!" he shouted. Promptly came the
answer, the Announcement that had been held back so long, "I am Sai Baba."
Swami’s Teachings
● The 5 human values-Prema(Love), Sathya(Truth), Shanti(Peace), Dharma(Right
Conduct), Ahimsa(Non Violence)
● The 5 Ds-Duty, Devotion, Discrimination, Discipline, Devotion

Here are some quotes by Swami to live by:

● Love All, Serve all

● Help Ever, Hurt never
A deeper insight into Swami’s teachings
● Swami teaches that everything has a form
● People think-What form does the wind have?
● The answer is…It has a form invisible to the human eye
● Sometimes you can't see a form

Let's say air is blown into a balloon, and the balloon gets bigger. All that is in the
balloon is air. And without air, the balloon does not have a form. This means that the
wind and air still have a form.
