SWAMI'S TELUGU NEW YEAR SPEECH - 2 JUNE 2003


My humble pranams at the Lotus Feet of Swami.

Sai Ram, Gurus, Uncles, Aunties, Brothers and Sisters, I am Sukanyaa Suresh from Group 3 and I am here to share my views on Swami's Telugu New Year Speech This year.

Where there is confidence, there is love,
Where there is love, there is peace,
Where there is peace, there is truth,
Where there is truth, there is God,
Where there is God, there is bliss.

If we question where God is, some people say He is present in their heart. Swamy says, "It is not a proper answer". Why? When we say the kerchief is in our hand, we are bigger than the kerchief. Likewise, when we say God is with in us, means we are superior to God! Hence, it is not proper to say that God is in us. The truth is, we are God. Everything is in us.

We are in another year now. We celebrated our new year with festivity & gaiety. But our enthusiasm and happiness were for a while only. Swami says, "It is not the way to celebrate New Year. Your happiness should remain forever. It should be everlasting and not the one like passing clouds".

When we emerged from mother's womb we had no jewels of pearls, no glittering gold ornaments, no studded chains and no fabrics. At the time of birth our heart is pure and we are full of bliss. We should retain such purity of heart for the rest of our life and enjoy everlasting happiness.

Bliss is man's true nature. Hence, he should always have a cheerful countenance. In spite of being endowed with such sacred bliss, why should man give room to wickedness and misery? This is contrary to human nature. Consider everyone as the embodiment of divinity. Whomsoever we salute or ridicule, they will reach God. Offer your respects to everybody.

We should share our love with one and all. Never hate anybody. The hatred in us will come back to us as reflection and put us to suffering. Let us love all. Let there not be even a trace of hatred in us. We should join hands with our fellowmen in a spirit of tolerance and love. Let us experience love and share it with others. This is the most important message of this New Year, Subhanu from Swami.

May all of us lead a blissful life in this New Year! May we fill our life with love! May we develop unity and friendship! True bliss lies in unity and God is the embodiment of bliss.

Jai Sai Ram
