You must each one try to become ego-less and then the Lord will accept you as His Flute. Once, when a number of people were asked by Me what they would like to be in the hands of God, I got various answers: some said the Lotus, some the Shankha (Conch), some the Chakra (Discus) but no one mentioned the Murali (Flute). I would advise you to become the Murali, for then the Lord will come to you, pick you up, put you to His lips and breathe through you and, out of the hollowness of your heart due to the utter absence of egoism that you have developed, He will create captivating music for all Creation to enjoy. Be straight without any will of your own, merge your will in the Will of God. Inhale only the breath of God. That is Divine Life, that is what I want you all to achieve. (SSS Vol,1)

Practise sva-vimarshana (self-examination): Who am I? Am I the mind stuff, the will, the discriminating faculty, the intellect, the senses, the body, the limbs? Realise that you are not any of these or all of these. You are the breath of God; it is through Him that you are alive, active, aware. But, when you are asked where God is, you point your finger towards the sky, and say, "Up above"! "When someone asks you where Swami is, you say, Upstairs and point towards the room on the first floor!" You know that I am by your side also. (SSS Vol.10)

Veda is said to be the breath of God, for word or voice is breath; the Veda is Akshara, the indestructible, the letter, the symbol for the vibration that spreads and affects the Universe for ever. The Word is valid for all times; it has become the Akshara, the visual symbol. (SSS Vol.10)
