conversation with God.

He began to talk to God and share about his problems, internal conflicts, and spiritual doubts. He did not know who God was or what he looked like, but he clearly felt his presence. There was a clear feeling that some unknown cosmic force was attentively and silently listening to the cry for help from the depths of his heart.

John Sinclair communicated with the "unknown God" for several evenings. A week later, he felt his life changing in a strange way, as if some invisible hand was protecting and guiding him at every step. One night he heard strange footsteps in the living room of his house. Without turning on the light, he cautiously walked through the darkness to see who was walking there. He could feel the presence of someone in the living room, but no one was visible. The strangest thing was that Sinclair had no feelings of fear. On the contrary, he experienced a surge of joy and bliss.

For most, the feeling that some invisible person is walking around in your house would most likely give rise to horror and panic, but Sinclair felt the complete opposite. The next night the strange experience was repeated. Sinclair tried to visit several spiritual centers to discover who exactly could’ve visited him.

In one of the spiritual centers of New York, Sinclair met a man who suggested that, most likely, it was Sathya Sai Baba, a great spiritual teacher from India. Gradually, Sinclair felt a deep spiritual connection with Sathya Sai Baba and wanted to meet him personally. For a long time, this did not happen due to employment and affairs that constantly prevented Sinclair from going to India. After some time, he finally managed to go and meet with Sathya Sai Baba. During their personal communication, Sathya Sai Baba told Sinclair how he visited his house several times at night. With this confirmation, Sinclair was happy. Sathya Sai Baba told Sinclair how he protected him from many dangers and sent blessings. Sinclair felt and understood this was true because he experienced all of this in his own experience.

After that, Sathya Sai Baba said he had a request to ask of Sinclair. Sinclair was very grateful to Sathya Sai Baba for his help and blessings, so he was ready to donate any amount of money, but Sathya Sai Baba did not mean money. Looking closely at Sinclair, Sathya Sai Baba asked Sinclair to always be happy. These words of Sathya Sai Baba shocked the American and instantly he felt the deepest love and sincerity coming from Sathya Sai Baba.

In the early ‘90s, Sinclair once said he was raised in the Christian tradition and since childhood had worried about being born two thousand years after Jesus lived. He always dreamed of meeting a divine teacher and when he saw Sathya Sai Baba, he realized his dream had come true.

40. "I Am I"

The physical heart is on the left side and the spiritual heart is on the right side.

(Sathya Sai Baba – “Lectures at Kodaikanal”, 1996)

Of all the quotes I have chosen from Sathya Sai Baba's books, this one is perhaps the most important and practically necessary for meditation. The True Self is the original source from which everything arises.

In this book, we discuss in several chapters the most important topic of the Spiritual Heart, which is located on the right side of the body. It may seem strange to repeat the same thing several times, but Sathya Sai Baba, during his long life, regularly spoke in lectures, as well as during personal meetings, that the Spiritual Heart is on the right side. Therefore, correct meditation should be directed precisely at this mysterious point.

In Kriya Yoga Meditation tradition, we use affirmation to help us concentrate on truth about our Supreme Self.

"I Am" in everything and everything in Me.

The Self is outside of time and space, Self is the source of time and space, "I Am" at every moment of time and at every point in space.

"I Am" is here and now, "I Am" is always in the beginningless past, and "I Am" is always in the eternal future.

Self is embodied in the temple of the physical body.

"I was" before the appearance of the physical body and "I Am" after the disappearance of the physical body.

"I Am" in wakefulness, in dreams and in deep sleep, in dying, in reincarnation and in eternity.

"I Am” unborn and immortal, primordial and eternal.

The Absolute Self corresponds to the Spiritual Heart, which is located on the right side of the body. In Sanskrit, the Spiritual Heart is called Hrideyam. Over and over, we ruminate on this most important point in the body. It is in the Spiritual Heart that the actual mystical experience of "I Am I" takes place.

In the great Vedic formula of "I Am I" there is a double "I" to indicate the simultaneous existence of the absolute and individual reality of "I". At every moment of time, "I" am both the Absolute "I" and the individual "I". At every moment of time, "I" am simultaneously God and man.

41. Sathya Sai Baba may use forse to help the devotees

In the south of India lives a man named, Anantappa. He has been a follower of Sathya Sai Baba for many years. Anantappa's devotion and love for Sathya Sai Baba is surprisingly deep and sincere. Every day, he practices mantras, prayers, and meditations, and constantly feels the invisible presence of his Sathya Sai Baba.

One day Sathya Sai Baba gave Anantappa his photograph. Anantappa placed the photo on the home altar, and after a while, sacred ash began to materialize from it. Sacred ash in Sanskrit is called "Vibhuti", it is a symbol of the eternity of the spirit and a reminder of the impermanence of all material things.

The word "Vibhuti" also means "revelation", because "Vibhuti" is not just ashes, but something special that carries a philosophical message. Sacred ash has the power to heal people from disease and protect them from negative energy influences. It
