    About this ebook

    "“What do you want?”

    Bhagawan’s simple question to his devotee.

    “I want Peace.”

    A simple reply to His simple question.

    Or is it that simple? Peace is one of the most craved for qualities in today’s world. Ironically, it remains as evasive as it is obtainable, as complex as it is simple. Today’s fast-paced, hurried existence leaves us with little time to ourselves. Every now and then, it seems so important to slow down and make time to connect to one’s higher self. One strives to infuse greater harmony and balance into one’s life. Listen to Bhagawan as He speaks of how we can do so. Peace is waiting at our doorstep. Peace is within our reach. Peace is here. Peace is now. Listen to Bhagawan...

    Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

    Sri Sathya Sai Baba was born as Sathyanarayana Raju on November 23rd, 1926 in the village of Puttaparthi, in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India. Even as a child, His spiritual inclination and contemplative nature set Him apart from other children of His age, and He was known as 'Guru' and "Brahmajnani' among His peers and others in the village. On October 20th, 1940, He made the historic declaration of His Avatarhood and the world at large learnt of this divine phenomenon. Today, millions of devotees worship Him as an 'Avatar' and an incarnation of the Sai Baba of Shirdi.Revealing the purpose of His Advent, Sai Baba has said that He has come to re-establish the rhythm of righteousness in the world and repair the ancient highway to God, which over the years has systematically deteriorated.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is an integral manifestation who combines two very significant roles. Firstly, He is a great spiritual Master, famed for His simple and sweet exposition of the greatest and most intricate of spiritual truths which form the fundamental teachings of all the religions of the world. His formula for man to lead a meaningful life is the five-fold path of Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema, and Ahimsa. Love for God, fear of sin and morality in society - these are His prescriptions for our ailing world.Secondly, He is an inexhaustible reservoir of pure love. His numerous service projects, be it free hospitals, free schools and colleges, free drinking water supply or free housing projects, all stand testimony to His selfless love and compassion for the needy and less privileged. True to His declaration - "My Life is My Message", He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of His devotees worldwide by His personal example to live the ideal that service to man is service to God.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is a beacon of hope in the world. A devotee said, "Bhagawan Baba is nothing but Love walking on two feet."

      What exactly is peace? It is the stage in which the senses are mastered and held in balance. "Samatwam Yogah Uchyate" - Equanimity is Yoga. Life should rest on the four pillars of Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, and Prema (truth, righteousness, peace, and love), which hold it firm against the turbulent waves of joy and grief. Of these four, Prema is the crucial support. For, it is the very breath, the sole purpose of life. Love God and acquire the strength to meet the ups and downs of life. Love liquidates the blows of fate. Love blends and binds the parents with the child. Love sanctifies and glorifies the body.
