Out of thousands of men, many may strive for perfection, and amongst those who have attained it only a very rare soul can understand me in reality. Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and ego, these eight together
constitute my separate material energies. However, besides these, I have another superior energy comprising of souls by which this universe is maintained. You should understand that all beings take root from these two energies: material and spiritual and I am the creator and the destroyer of the entire universe. There is nothing superior to me; everything rests on me like pearls strung on a thread. I am the taste in water, the light in the sun and the moon, the sacred syllable OM in the Vedas, the sound in ether and ability in man. I am the original fragrance of the earth, the heat in fire, the life in all living beings, and the discipline in ascetics. Know me to be the original seed of all beings, the wisdom of the wise and the power of the glorious. Of the strong I am the strength devoid of desire and passion, and I am love that is virtuous. Know that all states of being be it purity, passion or ignorance all ensue from me alone. But understand that I am not in them, they are in me. Deluded by the three gunas, the entire universe does not understand me, I, who am above the three modes of nature and inexhaustible. This divine energy of mine, consisting of the modes of material nature is certainly difficult to overcome, but those who have surrendered to me can easily overcome it. Those who are grossly foolish, the lowest among men, whose knowledge is wrapped in illusion, and those whose very nature is demoniac do not surrender to me. Four kinds of men worship me: the distressed, those who desire wealth, the inquisitive and those who seek knowledge of the absolute truth. Of these, the man seeking knowledge and who is engaged in pure devotional service to me is the best. He is indeed dear to me, who is fond of me. All these are no doubt great souls, but those who are self realized I consider being like me. He, whose mind is fixed on me, will attain me, the highest goal. After many births, the person with self-knowledge surrenders to me realising that I am the cause of everything. Such a great soul is very rare. Those whose intelligence has been corrupted by material desire take refuge in the demigods and worships according to their own natures. Whoever desires to faithfully worship any particular form, whichever one it is, I grant him the necessary sincerity to do so. A person is endowed with such faith desires to worship a particular form and he attains the fulfillment of his desires only because of me. Men of small intelligence worship the demigods and the results of such worship are temporary. Those who worship the Gods attain the Gods, and my devotees attain me. The unintelligent, ignorant of my supreme nature, which is eternal and supreme think of me to be the unmanifest that has become embodied. I am not revealed to the foolish and unintelligent as I am covered by illusion and therefore they do not recognise me as the unborn and infallible one. I know the past, present and future of all beings but no one knows me. All beings are born into delusion, bewildered by the dualities arising from desire and hate. Those persons who acted piously in previous lives and who act piously in this life are liberated from the delusions of dualities and serve me with faith and determination. Those who strive for liberation from old age and death take refuge in me and are Brahman because they understand transcendental activity. Those who know me as the governing principle of the material world, of the demigods and of all methods of sacrifice know me and understand me even at the time of death. O Satguru Swami Teoonram, you are our Lord Krishna!!! We pray to you Sai that we become a disciple like Arjuna so that we comprehend and imbibe the treasure of knowledge in our lives that you have bestowed on us. Reverence in your Holy feet!
