Small Teachings

You have a duty so far as the other person is concerned and he has the responsibility to see that he deserves that duty which you feel bound to fulfill towards him. Duty must be deserved by the other; it must be done with skill and sincerity and love. This is easy if you feel that your duty is part of your worship, that you are offering it to the Sai in the other person. Your duty is to your own self, the Sai that is your real core.

Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XIII, p. 66

People look for shortcuts in everything, even in spirituality. But, surprisingly, spirituality does have a short cut.  There is no need to wander here and there. God is residing in your heart. Turn your vision inward. You can see God instantly. This is the easiest path. Have full faith that Divinity resides in you. If you keep reminding yourself constantly that you are a part of Divinity, you are bound to become divine yourself.
