Gladly share your education and wealth with your fellow human beings. God is the real owner of the wealth you acquire. Remember, the money you earn belongs to God's Trust. You are His Trustee and accordingly, make proper utilisation of your wealth. Do not hanker over money or other forms of wealth. Instead, constantly contemplate on God. You don't have to go to caves or forests or ashrams in search of Him. Wherever you are, He is with you. Develop this faith and win over your demonic qualities. Do not forget that what ultimately comes with you is not your wealth or education, but the sin or merit you have accumulated through your actions. Share at least a morsel of what you eat with others. Never forget to practice selfless love and service. Help yourself and help others, this is indeed the greatest spiritual practice (sadhana). Without following these principles, there is no peace and joy, anywhere in the world!
We should make proper utilization of wealth.
We should constantly contemplate on the divine and not hanker over money or other forms of wealth, but he as well is telling us that we don't have to go to caves or forests or ashrams in the search of Him and that is part of my experience. I was in my job working and watching and it ended with the experience of the higher self, but I went on to understand it and that was not that easy anymore in our society actually impossible to get the right answer.
I was looking for a language or a way of understanding or thinking it over and it was a long way of finally getting to that contemplation and being able to see the experience in the light of my own experience.
First I tried to express it with meditation and it was about truth, but it was not thinking it over and it didn't answer all the experience or insights in the dream stage and it was always about truth and even if it felt right, there was still a lot that didn't make any sense and we didn't find the answer by thinking it over. The principle about it was true, but it was not possible to use the right words and there was no thinking it over and in time the experiences didn't make any sense anymore.

We can make the experience everywhere, we don't need to go to an ashram, but nevertheless, without the words of an enlightened master we cannot get it, we need the words and the direct experience and discrimination.
That is very clearly stated in the Patanjali sutra about correct understanding.
He is telling us to get to correct understanding we need three things, direct perception, inference and the written or spoken words of a self realized authority.
He is telling us to get to correct understanding we need three things, direct perception, inference and the written or spoken words of a self realized authority.
In practicing we get aware of it why it doesn't work if we try to understand it in our own minds, because it will be a mind conclusion.
We can compare it with food, if we eat food it is mind, if we offer it to the divine it is Prasad and sacred food. If we take our own words even if we think it is He in the heart, it is the mind and just ordinary food if we use the words of a self-realized authority it becomes sacred food, therefore, we have to think it over and most of all use his words.
We need contemplation to be able to find the right words and with Swami we first had to get aware that we don't know and we don't know in the mind and then we have to get aware that he knows and when we think over his words, we get answers and we begin with his words to get the right words, as he is explaining us what we are doing.
It is as well he the doer and at that point it is as it seems very difficult to understand as that seemed as well at the ashram or in the people, contemplation is neglected.
And it seems we have some kind of problem to understand it what is me and mine and what is He and what is We and when is it alright and a right conclusion and what we are saying and it means more or less we get aware that no matter what we tell when it is our own mind, it is not right, it is mind only and a mind conclusion, only to get aware of it, it takes time.

We think we understand it when it is about wealth, but it is the same when it is about wisdom, he is not only the owner, he is as well the knower, therefore, it is the same, he is the wisdom, but we should not misunderstand it.
It doesn't mean we are like puppets or parrots just repeating his words, we have to think it over to be able to absorb it, that doesn't mean telling his words and quotes by heart, it means we have to use his words, we think it over as we do here and by thinking it over we are able to absorb, but for that reason we have to see it in our own life, if we don't see it in our own life, we are not able to understand. Usually people talk about Swami's Lilas and miracles and that means we don't listen really to him and see it in our own life. We see his life.

If we contemplate constantly on God we think over his words, without the written or spoken words of the self-realized authority we cannot get a correct understanding and if we don't get a correct understanding, we have to contemplate on his words, most of people contemplate on his Lilas, but after all what do we know about it?
You don't have to go to caves or forests or ashrams in search of Him. Wherever you are, He is with you. Develop this faith and win over your demonic qualities.
But we have to anyhow listen and contemplate on him and that doesn't mean only that we have to contemplate his Lila, when we contemplate his Lilas, most of all because we don't know it or we didn't make the experience ourselves and after all we need direct perception, it has to be our own experience and when we talk about his Lilas, we talk about what we have heard what he did, but it is not direct perception.
Usually people think about contemplation that it is contemplating his Lila and then when we listen to his words, he is telling us, how do you know? In reality we heard it from someone else and therefore, we think we know and in reality we don't know that we don't know. The contemplation is therefore, neglected and misunderstood. The biggest obstacle is that people think we know and focus on his Lilas we have heard of it, but it is not direct experience and therefore, it is not real, it is our mind understanding and direct perception means we have to have the experience, the insight and it should not be someone else's experience, therefore, it is great to thing about Swami's Lila, but in reality we have to focus on or own self-experience.

It is only about direct perception, if we sing together, we are one in the love for the divine, if we tune in and sing with our full heart, we get aware of that oneness and people think contemplation is about Swami's Lila and that is the reason why there are some people who have created a light body cult, they go on with Swami's Lila as people all believe it is His Lila, they take advantage of it as much as we heard they contact the most wealthy people of the Sai movement telling them that Swami asks for a certain amount of donation for purposes like school and health facility hospitals and the ashram, so everybody is thinking, that is as well the divine, that is as well God and there is only one problem, it is not true and when we separate truth and right action it will not result in peace, but there will be only pieces left.
It cannot be right, because the 'I am that' is the insight in everybody of us, we are one in the same, 'I am that' and someone who claims to see the light body of Baba is creating a body cult and it is not about oneness, we don't listen to his words and contemplation is neglected, we understand contemplation as his Lilas, but that is not correct understanding. Contemplation has to be based on direct experience, that means it is our own insight only and not that what someone else told us and nothing of the Lilas that have been told we have experienced in our own self, everything was experienced by others and talked about it by everybody, this one or that one has said that and that and even if Swami was making someone stand up and walk when he went in the wheelchair in the interview room, we didn't even see it usually even if we were sitting in the Darshan, it was unseen and happened silently and then everybody spoke about it and that is how we got to know it, but it is not direct perception.
To get to correct understanding we need three things, direct perception, our own experience of it and inference, we need to listen to the written or spoken words of a self-realized authority to get to correct understanding, no matter what we have heard from others what has been told, as long as it is not our direct perception, it cannot be an insight and therefore, it will not lead to a right conclusion.
Swami said in the 40 quotes we had to contemplate over the month before he left the body that we can follow any cult and adore any form as long as it leads to oneness, but that is just the point, the light body cult, is a cult, it is not about oneness, because we cannot see the light body only that devotee claims to see the light body and that Baba speaks to him and Swami said that he is not that and he is never doing that and why should he, as it is not about oneness, but lots of people are used only to the body cult and on contemplating his form and his Lilas only.
In reality contemplation means to listen to his words, to think it over and to absorb. As soon as we share that experience and we contemplate it, we get aware that it is not possible that a light body cult can be a right answer.
Do not forget that what ultimately comes with you is not your wealth or education, but the sin or merit you have accumulated through your actions. Share at least a morsel of what you eat with others. Never forget to practice selfless love and service.
We also should share our insights with others, not only what we eat on the food level, also wisdom is food and we should share the wisdom and knowledge with others, but that is not possible as long as we don't contemplate his words.
Help yourself and help others, this is indeed the greatest spiritual practice (sadhana). Without following these principles, there is no peace and joy, anywhere in the world!
The question is how we can help others, some try to help with wealth and donate money to a light body of Swami as it makes them feel good that Swami asks for donations, but the fact is there is not enough knowledge about inference, not enough awareness and not enough discrimination, because people don't listen really as we think we know, we don't think there is any need to listen, we go on thinking that we know until we have something that wakes us up and we realize it is not right action.
There is a connection between the human values, he is telling us only truth and right action lead to peace, therefore, if action is not based on truth, if it is untruth or illusion, it cannot be right action, therefore, it cannot be peaceful the result and if truth and right action are separated, only pieces are left.
To make the experience of pure love, we need to understand peace, that is just what was mentioned before, we have to blend truth and right action that is how we understand peace and if we have truth, right action is the reflection of it, if there is untruth, it cannot be followed by right action.
And what about the experience of pure love?
And what about the experience of pure love?
We have to understand peace, we have to accept truth and we have to accept right action and only when we have those three things, truth, right action and peace, we can make the experience of pure love.
The experience of it makes the difference, if there is insight, he said in the dream as well that he is the insight and the following step, if there is insight, the following step is as well him and the following step is that we have to contemplate his words to get the right food and by getting aware of the insight and seeing it in his words, he is the knower, he is the doer and we need to understand it right.
