Sri Sathya Sai Baba Quotes

«Man is now able to soar into outer space and reach up to the moon; but he is not moral enough to live at peace with his neighbor!»
« God is the Sun and when His rays fall upon your heart, not impeded by the clouds of egoism, the lotus blooms and the petals unfold.»

«Remember, every song sung in praise of the Lord is a sword that cuts the knots of laziness. It is a fine piece of social service to remind all of their duty to the Almighty, who watches over them.?»
