\"The LOVE is my distinctive mark, not the creation of material objects, or of health and happiness by sheer exercise of will. You might consider what you call miracles as the direct sign of divinity, but the Love that welcomes all, that blesses all, that makes Me run to the presence of the seekers, the suffering and distressed in distant lands, or wherever they are - that is the real sign. It is that which declares that I am Sai Baba, PREMA (Love) is My task, My mission, My breath.\"Sathya Sai BabaToday, we are celebrating the sacred festival of Christmas. We should celebrate it in the true spirit without entertaining petty desires. Jesus was the son of God. While he was being crucified, he said, \"Oh father, let thy Will be done.\"\n\n\nWhen you surrender yourself to God\'s Will, he will take care of you. Do not develop superiority complex. Give up ego and pomp. Pray silently and sincerely. If your prayers are not answered, you can certainly question Me. God is not confined to a place somewhere in a distant corner. He always resides in your heart. He can accomplish anything. He is ever ready to perform any task, be it big or small for the sake of His devotees. All are His children. Hence, He will certainly answer our prayers.\n\n\nJesus taught, \"All are children of God.\" When you have such firm conviction, you can accomplish any task. You need not go through voluminous books. Fill yourheart with love and leave everything to His Will. You will certainly achieve success in your endeavours.\nSathya Sai Baba\n\n\nTreat Me not as one afar, but as very close to you. Insist, demand, claim Grace from Me; do not praise, extol, and cringe. Bring your hearts to Me and win My heart. Not one of you is a stranger to Me. Bring your promises to Me and I shall give you My Promise. But first see that your promise is genuine, sincere; see that your heart is pure; that is enough.\nSathya Sai Baba \n\nLife is a pilgrimage where man drags his feet along the rough and thorny road. With the Name of God on his lips, he will have no thirst; with the Form of God in his heart, he will feel no exhaustion. The company of the holy will inspire him to travel in hope and faith. The assurance that God is within call, that He is ever near, will lend stength to his limbs and courage to his eye.\nSathya Sai BabaSin is not the real nature of man; it is acquired and can be shed. Man is pure, good, loving, and wise. That is why in Nilayam, I have stopped people from reciting slokas which proclaim man as sinful, born in sin, reveling in sin, etc. Let the purity, which you are, get manifested; endeavour to express it in your activities; that is what please Me and wins My grace.\nSathya Sai Baba\n\n\'Then there are those who may never see Me in concrete form. They have all the same reached Me through a friend, a book, or a photograph. To each of these, if they yearn deeply, I give my Darshan inwardly. These too, I love as deeply, for they have begun to see themselves as beyond their body. This is true advancement towards self-liberation.Sathya Sai BabaThe video you have just seen is an internet version and therefore does not have the full resolution of the original.
