Baba, Sathya Sai2019-09-252019-09-252013-11-301977-09-06http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/196230This day is being celebrated as the birthday of Krishna. Krishna was born in prison, a fact that teaches us that God has to incarnate or present himself in the dark and narrow prison-house of our hearts, so that we may derive light and earn freedom. Maaya is the delusion that hides the truth of Being; it tends to identify one’s truth as the physical body with its appurtenances, and prompts us to cater to the cravings of the body. Man thus forgets the Divine and instead listens to the call of the animal in him, consequently falling from his high ideal. But when Krishna is born in the cellar of his mind, man is saved. Man must therefore become aware of God within the cavity of his heart.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderSatya Sai BabaAvatarasHindu ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsArticle
