For treading the Bhakthi Maarga (Path of Devotion), one needs no scholarship, nor wealth, nor riches, nor ascetic rigors. The Grace of the Lord is as vast as the ocean, it is limitless. By your sadhana (spiritual practice), your japam (repetition of Lord's Name), your dhyanam (meditation) and systematic cultivation of virtue, this Grace is converted into clouds of truth, and they rain on the humanity as showers of joy, which collectively flow back into the ocean of Lord's Grace.Untuk menapaki Bhakthi Maarga (Path of Devotion/jalan bhakti), engkau tidak perlu harus menjadi sarjana terlebih dahulu; demikian pula, tidak dibutuhkan kekayaan maupun praktek tapa-brata yang sulit. Rahmat Ilahi bagaikan samudera yang maha luas dan tanpa batas. Melalui sadhana (praktek spiritual) seperti japam (pengulangan nama-nama Tuhan), Dhyanam (meditasi) serta pemupukan sifat-sifat luhur yang dilakukan secara sistematis; maka Karunia-Nya akan dikonversikan menjadi kumpulan awan kebenaran dan selanjutnya turun sebagai curahan hujan rahmat & kebahagiaan bagi seluruh umat manusia.
-Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol I Ch 8, Mar 24, 1958.
