Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
The others are part of yourself; you need not worry about them. Worry about yourself; that is enough. When you become all right, they too will be all right. For, you will no longer be aware of them as separate from you. Criticizing others, finding fault with them - all this, comes out of egoism. Search for your own faults instead. The faults you see in others are reflections of your own personality traits. Pay no heed to little worries, attach your mind to the Lord. Then, you will be led on the company of good men and your talents will be transmuted.-Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 1, Ch 11, July 25 1958.
Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
Be like a bee, drinking the nectar of every flower; not the mosquito drinking blood and distributing disease in return. First, consider all as children of the Lord, as your own brothers and sisters. Develop the quality of love, always seek the welfare of humanity. Love, and you will be loved in return. Hate will never be your lot, if you promote love and look upon all with love.
- Sathya Sai Speaks, Ch 5, Vol I, Feb 23, 1958.
Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
You must be wary of one impurity - intolerance of another's success, prosperity or progress. If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing him harm or causing him pain. That itself is a great service. What right have you to find fault with another or to talk evil of another? When you say that nothing can ever happen on earth without His will, why get annoyed or angry? Your duty is to cleanse yourself and engage in your own inner purification. That endeavor will bring you the co-operation of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you.

Sathya sai baba teachings
Meditate on the Truth and you will find that you are but a sparkling bubble upon the waters. You owe your birth to God. You subsist on God and you merge in God. Every living thing has to reach that consummation. Do it now, take this first step: Purify the heart, sharpen the intellect and begin the recital of the name of the Lord. That will give you all that you need in due time. To plant the seed of faith, to nourish it, guard it and grow it - that is your duty. The rest is His look out.

Every person has Divinity embedded in him, as well as truth and sweetness. Only he/she does not how to manifest that Divinity and how to realize that Truth or taste that sweetness. Courage is the tonic for acquiring both physical as well as mental health and their strength. Give up doubt, hesitation and fear. Do not give any chance for these to strike root in your mind. Keep the name of the Lord always on your tongue and dwell on the endless forms of the Lord. Attach yourself to Him, the temporary objects will themselves fall off!

Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
Have full faith in God and in yourselves. Engage always in good deeds, beneficial activities. Speak the truth. Do not inflict pain through words or deeds or even thoughts. That is the way to gain shanthi (peace); that is the highest gain which you can earn in this life.

Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
Life is a jungle where there is a great deal of dry wood that harbors worms and insects. No one cleans the floor of the forest, or cuts away the undergrowth of bush and bramble. To wade through the thorns and the leech-ridden floor of the jungle, one has to wear boots. So too, one has to wear the boots of sense-regulation if one has to pass through the jungle of life without harming oneself. This is the lesson you must ponder over and practice.

Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
Remember always that it is easy to do what is pleasant; but it is difficult to be engaged in what is beneficial. Not all that is pleasant is profitable. Success comes to those who give up the path strewn with roses, and brave the hammer-blows and sword-thrusts of the path fraught with danger.
-Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 1 Ch 14, Sep 2, 1958.
Sathya Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
Spread joy at all times. Do not pour into others' ears your tales of woe and worry; carry a smile on your face so that everyone who sees you can catch that exhilaration. When you tell others of your success, your purpose is to create envy in them. You must not only love others, but you must also be so good that others may love you. Try to console, encourage, strengthen, and enlighten those who are miserable, downhearted, weak or ill-informed. Get yourselves equipped for this role.
-Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 1 Ch 15, Sep 3, 1958.

Sathya sai baba teachings
One can be happy with much less equipment than he/she seems to think is essential. When some article is with you for little time, you feel it is indispensable and you do not know how to live without it. Like the silkworm, you weave a cocoon for yourself out of your fancy. Do not allow costly habits to grow, costly from the monetary as well as the spiritual point of view. Watch your likes and dislikes with vigilant eyes and discard anything that threatens to encumber your path.

Sathya sai baba teachings
Be fixed in the consciousness that you yourself are the immortal "Athma" (spirit) which is indestructible, which is holy, pure and divine. That will give you unshakable courage and strength. Then, you must develop mutual love and respect. Tolerate all kinds of persons and opinions, all attitudes and peculiarities. The home, the workplace and the society are all the training grounds of tolerance. The relationship with each other must be based on love, not fear. Only the atmosphere of love can guarantee happy co-operation and concord.

When you have malaria, you have to take bitter quinine medicine. That is the medicine needed to cure the ailment. Likewise, when adversity confronts you, treat it as a medicine for your own good. Gold has to be melted and beaten to make a jewel. A diamond is cut to make it more brilliant. Likewise, troubles in life serve to refine a person. Love should enable you to welcome even hardships as meant for your own good.
- Divine Discourse, November 23, 1996.
