Sai Baba's Golden Thoughts
Your nature is divine. What happened along life's way was that delusion covered it up with dust. When your dirty laundry goes to the washerman, he doesn't make your clothes white. They are actually white to begin with; only dirt has hidden the whiteness. All he does is to bring out the brightness of the clothes. To do this, he needs two pure items - soap and water. He cannot manage without either of these. Similarly, in the case of the mind and the dirt covering its purity, there are two cleansing items needed - the soap of Principle and the water of Practice.
Sai Baba's Golden Teachings
There is reaction, resound, and reflection for everything in this world. Only when you develop the quality of hatred in yourself do you see hatred in others. Whatever you do to others, you will surely experience the result of that action. Whatever you hear or experience is all due to the reaction, reflection, and resound of your own actions and feelings; others are not responsible for it. No one is responsible for either your good or bad actions. Neither is it God's creation, for God is attributeless, unsullied, eternal, pure, enlightened, and the embodiment of sacredness. Always help others, never hurt anyone. When you accuse or make fun of the other, it is an illusion to think that you are hurting the other person. In fact, you are hurting yourself. If you wish to enjoy good things in life, do good to others in the first instance.
