The Organization provides the environment for all seekers of the truth to foster spiritual growth and realize their innate divinity.
Sathya Sai Baba describes the place of Mankind in the process of creation:
“There was no one to know who I am until I created the World at My pleasure, with One word! Immediately mountains rose up: oceans, seas, lands and watersheds, sun, moon and the desert sands sprang out of nowhere to prove My existence. Came all forms of beings, men, beasts and birds – flying speaking, hearing. All powers were bestowed upon them under my orders. The first place was granted to mankind and My knowledge was placed in man’s mind.”
Endowed with consciousness of His own existence, Man is the only living entity on earth blessed with this capacity. Furthermore Sai Baba explains Mans purpose is to use this consciousness to realize His true self. The search by Man for Himself is referred to as spirituality. In fact spirituality as stated by Sai Baba is about “realizing the truth that Man is a spark of the Divine.”
Based on the teachings of Sathya Sai Baba, the Sathya Sai Organization provides the knowledge and environment necessary to assist the spiritual aspirant in experientially realizing their latent divinity and connection with creation. The teaching is relevant to those already on the spiritual path as well as those seeking to step onto the path. Due to the universal nature of Sai Baba’s message, those already on the path will find their existing spirituality complimented.
Through spiritual discipline, the organization encourages new aspirants to focus on getting in touch with their inner divinity. By constantly remembering God, the organization’s objective is to make devotees realize the joy and strength that can be derived from faith in God as well as faith in ones self.
