7. Pilgrimage theme: All are One, All are Love, All are Sai What does that mean?

8. Love is God “Love binds one person to another. Love attaches one thing to another. Without Love the Universe is naught. The highest Love makes us aware of the Lord in every one. The Lord is equally present in all” “It is His will that operates as Love, in each of us. It is He who prompts the prayer, "Let all the worlds be happy." For, He makes us aware that the God we adore, the God we love, the God we live by, is in every other being as Love. Thus Love expands and encompasses all creation.” Christmas Day, 1981, Poornachandra Auditorium

9. Loving Others is Loving God “We should consider that this Love is present in all. It is the form of the Divine. Because the Divine is present in all, whomever you love, you are loving the Divine. Forgetting this sublime and all-encompassing conception of Love, men today have lost themselves in narrow alleys “ Baba - Brindavan, 30 May 1992 “True love should express itself in the awareness of the presence of the Divine in one and all. Names and forms may differ but the indwelling Spirit is the same in all. “ Baba Discourse on 23-11-1996 in Sai Kulwant Mandap.

10. Silent Reflection How can I manifest this theme of All are One, All are Love, All are Sai, in my life? Who do I dislike, judge, or have negativity towards? How can I see everyone as an embodiment of the divine? As Love? – even those I dislike or who are my enemies? What will help me cultivate a feeling of oneness? How can I see all of Society as a reflection of the divine?

11. All Beings form the Universal Body of One God Society is not another concrete composite collective body! It is the expansion and expression of the Divine in each of its components, denotable and enjoyable as One. Society is the awareness of this cognisible Divinity. So, the one should not flee from the many; the individual is not harmed by society. The one should rather see the many in a new light-- the light which reveals that society is but God, who activates and prompts the composite whole. Adore society as the Divine Body; that is the Truth, the eternal Vision A message by Sri Sathya Sai Baba, October, 1971

12. Love your enemy “Do not divorce yourself from Nature. "Sarvam Vishnumayam Jagath" (The cosmos is permeated by the Divine). Hence recognize the Divine even in your enemy. His heart is bound to change. When you love even the one who has harmed you, he is also bound to change. Do not allow your love to be affected in any way.” - Discourse on 23- 11-1996 in Sai Kulwant Mandap

13. Feel that you are a true limb of Society “Do you intend to be in society? Do you crave to serve it and be served by it? Then, seek the God in all; see the same in all. Yearn to worship that God by self-less service. That alone makes you a true limb of society. If you feel separate, distinct, outside and beyond society, you will run after name and fame, you will be enslaved by hate and partiality, and ruined in the end. “ - Baba “Vow to serve, to dedicate. Cultivate Love; society is the reflection of the God you adore, the God whose nature is Aanandha. Transform yourself into Love, and become Aanandha “ - Baba A message by Sri Sathya Sai Baba, October, 1971

14. Study circle discussion What does the theme “ All are One, All are Love, All are Sai” really mean? Give examples of what it would look life in real life actions. We know the theory and say “we are all one”. What are the challenges we face in putting this into practice in our daily lives? Give examples of challenging situations What will help us with these challenges? What will help us put this theme into practice into our daily lives?

15. Insights and Action Plan What insights or new awareness did you have during silent reflection or discussion ? What specific actions steps do you personally need to do to do live the theme “All are One, All are Love, All are Sai”? What personal transformation would you like to offer to Swami at His samadhi when you go to the pilgrimage?
