People would always be curious about who your teachers are, Whose follower you are in professional fields. However on a spiritual journey I believe you can learn from anyone, anything as long as you pay attention to. Observing is the key. Confucius said:”There must be one who can be my teacher when we have three walking together” (三人行，必有吾师） This was what he exactly meant in my opinion – you can learn or pick up and understand something from anyone you are with, because each of us has something worth being learned that others don’t have, and each of us is on a different stage of consciousness and aware of something that others are not.

There must be a fate that I was brought in a chain of steps to Sri Sai Baba’s website while searching for personal growth resources. Then the following description emerged in front of me:

On 29 June 1968, Sathya Sai Baba made his first and only trip overseas, to Kenya and Uganda. During a discourse in Nairobi, Sathya Sai Baba spoke of his personal mission and stated:
“I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre. I have not come on behalf of any exclusive religion. I have not come on a mission of publicity for a sect or creed or cause, nor have I come to collect followers for a doctrine. I have no plan to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of this unitary faith, this spiritual principle, this path of Love, this virtue of Love, this duty of Love, this obligation of Love.”

A warm current started flowing out from my heart, tears running down… Then followed by information searching about him, Mantra chanting, listening to some of his Dashan etc.

– Isn’t this an answer to the Humankind struggling in darkness of fights and quarrels for thousands of years?

– Isn’t this something that responds to the cries out of all living beings for Love, Truth and the Unity of the souls?

– Doesn’t this resonate with the Natural Law of Justice written on your heart?

There is only one religion, the religion of Love
There is only one language, the language of the heart
There is only one God, He is Omnipresent

– Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Are you inspired too?  What action would you like to take?
