Sai Inspires 8th July 2008 ( What is it that we should truly strive for in this world?)

Do not exaggerate the importance of things that have but material utility; they fade, even while you grasp them by the hand. Search for the Sath - that which suffers no change. Search for the Chith - the state of consciousness, which is unaffected by gusts of passion, which is pure, which is free from egoism or the desire to possess. Then alone can you experience the Light, and illumine the Path for others. Search for Aanandha, the bliss that emanates from Prema; Love with no blemish of attachment. Be like bees hovering on the flower of the Glory of the Lord, sucking the sweet nectar of Grace, silently and joyfully.

Janganlah terlalu mementingkan hal-hal yang hanya memiliki unsur materialitas (keduniawian); sebab mereka pasti akan lapuk (oleh waktu), bahkan ketika mereka berada di dalam genggamanmu sekalipun. Sebaiknya carilah Sath - sesuatu yang tidak mengalami perubahan. Carilah Chith - keadaan kesadaran yang tidak terpengaruh oleh letupan emosi, kesadaran yang terbebas dari unsur egoisme maupun keinginan untuk memiliki. Hanya dengan demikian, barulah engkau bisa mengalami sendiri 'the Light' (cahaya Keilahian) yang akan menerangi jalan bagi orang lain juga. Carilah Aanandha, kebahagiaan (bliss) yang bersumber dari Prema; cinta-kasih tanpa noda kemelekatan. Jadilah seperti kawanan lebah yang berkerumun di bunga-bunga kemuliaan Tuhan, menghisap nectar manis Rahmat Ilahi.

- Divine Discourse, April 25, 1961.
