Meditate on the Truth and you will find that you are but a sparkling bubble upon the waters. You owe your birth to God. You subsist on God and you merge in God.  Every living thing has to reach that consummation.  Do it now, take this first step:  Purify the heart, sharpen the intellect and begin the recital of the name of the Lord.  That will give you all that you need in due time. To plant the seed of faith, to nourish it, guard it and grow it - that is your duty.  The rest is His look out. 

- Sri Sathya Sai Speaks,  Vol I, Ch 13, Sep 1, 1958 

"Always be conscious of your kinship with God.  He is your true friend" - Baba
