Sathya Sai Baba tells us that the spiritual growth of a person is best achieved through an integrated practice of devotion, study, and service. The study circle carries many benefits to participants. The primary benefit is the acquisition of Self-knowledge.
Swami says:
“It is not just reading books. Circle, study circle means taking a point and each person discussing what is the meaning of the point to them—like a round table conference. Each person gives his point of view, and finally values are derived from this. If there is just reading, there is doubt, but if each one gives his view, doubts will be answered. The topic is viewed; the study circle looks at different facets. It is like a diamond with its different facets, but there is one facet that is flat, the top facet, and from this all can be viewed. To discover the top facet is the task [purpose] of study circle”.
At Raleigh Sai Center the study circle facilitator gently encourages the participating members to express their view of the presented material. Each participant is given an opportunity to speak without fear of contradiction all along aiming for as Swami has guided us to enjoy study circle by reading, reflection and regular application in daily life.
Through the study guide “108 Mirrors to Know Thyself,” we have embarked on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth guided by the timeless teachings of Bhagawan Śri Sathya Sāi Bāba. By reflecting on the 108 nectarine names of Bhagawan, we are going to delve deep into our own divine nature to live a life filled with truth, righteousness, love, and peace. Objective is to elevate our spiritual frequency and embrace the expectations of the Avatar, ultimately offering our lives as a pure holy offering at the lotus feet of our loving Bhagawan. This guide is going to be released in 6 parts by Sri Sathya Sai International Organization as an offering for the 100th birthday of our dearest Swami.
Om Śri Bhagawan Sathya Sāi Bābāya Namaḥ (Salutations to Bhagawan Śri Sathya Sāi Bāba) We discussed the profound meaning behind the name “Bāba,” which stands for Being–Awareness–Bliss–Ātmā, and how chanting this name can lead to the realization of one’s true Self and the divine revelation given by Bhagawan Śri Sathya Sāi Bāba, highlighting the significance of realizing one’s true divine nature. Swami encourages us to embody virtues such as love, compassion, and kindness, and to strive for integrity and empathy in our interactions.
Om Śri Sāi Sathya Svarūpāya Namaḥ (Salutations to Śri Sāi, who is the very form of Truth) Focus on the principle of Truth (Sathya) and its importance in spiritual practice. Truth is God and God is the Truth. Truth is the foundation of the universe and human existence, and living in harmony with honesty, integrity, and love can awaken the divine reality within us. Swami is the embodiment of Truth and encourages us to practice these principles to experience inner peace and spiritual growth. We discussed the challenges in practicing these principles in our day today life and ways to overcome. To live the TRUTH every day in our lives, we discussed how we can peel back the layers of illusion and connect with the profound, unchanging Truth that is God and experience our divine nature.
Om Śri Sāi Sathya Dharma Parāyaṇāya Namaḥ (Salutations to Śri Sāi, who is wholly devoted to Truth and Righeousness) Bhagawan repeatedly emphasizes the importance of Sathya (Truth) and Dharma (Righteousness) in His teachings. These two principles are the pillars of a virtuous life and are essential for personal and societal well-being, and for fostering love, peace, and unity. By embodying Truth and Righteousness, we can elevate our spiritual journey and contribute positively to society. Truth is not merely the absence of falsehood but is a profound commitment to purity and unity of thought, word, and action. We discussed what we need to strengthen to live in alignment with Truth to experience inner peace and spiritual growth, and foster authenticity and sincerity in our relationships and interactions. Jai Sairam!
