I have come not to give Discourses on divinity but to make you understand that God is one, truth is one, love is one. There may be different names but the divine principle of atma is one only. You may call it Atma or Om, but divinity is one. People call God by various names such as Rama,Krishna,Govinda, Narayana, etc., but God is one. Therefore, contemplate on any name of God. The Upanishads declare, Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava, Atithi Devo Bhava (revere your mother, father, preceptor and guest as God). Mother is most important. The nectarine feeling in this country is the feeling of love towards one’s mother.

Therefore, love your mother, respect her and offer your salutations to her. Even if the mother and the son go to court in property dispute, the mother will say, ‘he is my son’ and the son will say ‘she is my mother, when questioned by the lawyer. Therefore, the relationship that one has with one’s father and mother is eternal. Whether she is alive or not, mother is mother forever! There is no higher feeling than the feeling of love towards one’s mother. Many devotees address Me as ‘Mother Sai’ while writing letters to Me. As devotees consider Me as their mother, I also treat them as My children and shower My motherly love on them. (SS Nov 09, p. 331/ 362)
