Awareness Article #26
Science of Being
Swami, recently gave two pages of writing,
What is Yoga? Awareness–(lack of awareness is cause of misery)
To be aware of divinity within us. Makes whole–head, heart,hand
Chitti Vritti Nirodha
1/10 of brain power only used yoga to help to develop creativity
science of being. Acquire divinequalities–gradually
Spirituality–to give & to accept
Now let us see about this. The reason for all suffering in the world is
unawareness. If we haveawareness,we will ask ourselves, ‘Why have I been born? What
is the reason for birth?’ We will ask, know and then understand. This is called ‘Sat Chit
Ananda’. Sat is God, Chit is constant integrated awareness. This is a continuous one
pointed awareness. The one who has this awareness knows of God and attains bliss,
Ananda.
Divinity is present in all things. We must make it whole and complete in us.
Swami has often told of this as ‘I am God, you are also God’. If werealizethis, we can
become God. There are seven chakras in thekundalini. Yet, each one is closed. In the
basechakra,a power lies like a coiledsnake. Throughsadhana,we awaken this Shakthi
in us. The Mooladhara Shakthi then crosses eachchakrauntil it merges with Shiva in
sixthchakraor third eye. This is happiness. It is only when one attains this statethat
divinity becomes whole and complete. It is for this Swami said, ‘head,hand, heart’. This
is three H’s,harmonizingto become one.
In order for this to happen, we must function with awareness. Whatever thoughts
arise in the head must be pure. In order for this tohappen,the heart must be filled with
love. Heart becomes whole and perfect through this love. We must show love to all.
Then only our thoughts become pure. Whatever work is done through the hands must
be offered to God. When we offer all to God, each work becomes sanctified. Yoga means
ChittiVrittiNirodha-to control the mental impulses andthoughts, whicharise in the
Chitta.
Discipline is essential for this control. We must perform each task at a particular
time, making it a habit. When we live life according to a timetable, the senses come
under control naturally. They then also follow the same timetable. I wrote this as Yoga
Sutra. Swami has now said to connect Yoga Sutra with this chapter.Again Swami tells
... Yoga helps the science of B
eing

Man only uses 1/10 ofthe brain. It is through the science of beingthat we can
progress through yoga. There are eight steps on the path ofyoga. Sage Patanjali was the
one who found this out, ‘Ashtanga Yoga’,arethe eight steps or disciplines ofyoga. Yoga
helps to make the mind and body healthy. Ordinarily, many subjects are studied in a
syllabus. Yet, there is no science of being and spirituality. A syllabus may contain some
classes on morality that is all. It does not cover the whole science of being, how to live
life in the correct way. Life will be good, if the basis is spirituality. However, schools do
not conduct classes on spirituality. TheScience ofBeingis of the utmost importance.
When we progress spiritually, we can develop and accrue good qualities. Spirituality

means to give and accept.

Awareness Article #48   Copyright © 2013 Sri Vasantha Sai Books & Publications Trust

Chapter 48
FUNERAL & MARRIAGE - Same Day
My body is not well. Dots have again appeared on my scalp and my hair is falling
out. What should we do? Which doctor shall we consult? Today Swami gave a bouquet
of five lily flowers, which had five leaves. He also gave a box of turmeric, yet inside was
sandal powder. In the afternoon, I read the June issue of Sanathana Sarathi. Here many
devotees have written about their experiences. After reading, I began to cry and cry,
"Why don't I have such experiences?" All consoled me. 
Noon meditation
Swami :  Why are you crying in this way?
Vasantha :  I do not have such experiences. How much they have enjoyed.
Swami : None has had your experience. Theirs was only an outer experience.
Yours is within.
Vasantha :  Swami, I have no experience. What is the use in writing? You have also
not come.
Swami :  Sure I will come. 
Vasantha :  Swami we all discussed whether we should call the dentist or ENT doctor. 
Swami :  No. No doctor. All will be okay. 
Vasantha :  Should we go see Dr. Vijay Kumar or Dr. Ramaswami?
 Swami :  Both are the same. Take the medicine that they prescribe.
 Vasantha : Will You write which doctor or medicine? Till You come, write
something... a remedy for the difficulties in my body. What shall I do with
the sandal powder?
Swami :  At night, apply it on your body. Do the same during the day
.

Vasantha :  Swami what are the lily flowers?
Swami :  The entire Sathya Yuga is only our marriage. 
Vasantha :  Now I understand Swami.
End of meditation
Let us see about this. Inside the box of turmeric was sandal powder, which was
very fragrant. How did this box appear in the office? Swami told to apply it on my body.
Many doctors have come to see me, yet none could diagnose or cure my disease though
their medicine did provide some relief. We then searched the internet to gather more
information about these lily flowers. Below are few excerpts we found:
The common question asked by many after seeing a calla lily as a
wedding flower and even funeral flower is, what does the cala lily
symbolize? The Christian Easter service uses the cala lily as a symbol of
resurrection. The cone-like flowers are thought to symbolize trumpets
heralding Christ's victory over death. This flower also symbolizes the Virgin
Mary, her purity, holiness and faith. Lilies are strong symbols of rebirth at
spring, youth and innocence. The white flower symbolizes cleanliness,
rectitude and virginity. Thus, these lilies symbolize the brilliance of truth
and holiness. The lilies are also symbolic of elegance and sophistication.
They are the traditional symbols of marriage. They are also used to mark
th
the 6 wedding anniversary. The classic white calla lily meaning stands for

purity of thought and the eloquence of heavenly bliss.
This is what we read. In this case, the lilies do not symbolize the resurrection of
Jesus, but that of Swami. Swami left His body and is now coming in a new body.
Through my faith, purity and holiness He will return. My body is already a virgin.
Swami said after the third child was born my virginity returned. In this way, I have
retained my youth and innocence. The lilies represent my righteousness, cleanliness and
effulgence of truth. This effulgence of truth blossoms in my thousand petaled lotus
sahasrara. 
The flower indicates natural beauty. Man’s natural beauty is the Atma. All should
realize their own Atmic beauty. This is real beauty. This is my thirst. This flower is
thth
symbolic of the 6 anniversary of marriage. Yet Swami is giving it to me for our 60

anniversary. Swami married me at the age of 16, but only revealed this truth in front of
the world at the age of 76. What I experience with Swami in Swarga is heavenly bliss,
which I write with thoughts of purity and eloquence. Swami tells and I write. These
feelings go outside through the Stupi and become star vibrations entering all. Bhagavan
Sathya Sai’s Sathyam and Vasantha’s Prema come together and make all into jnanis. 
All marriages that will take place will be through our feelings alone. All men will
have Swami’s feelings and every woman my feelings. So each marriage is for us. This is
Swami’s Avataric task. At the age of 16, my marriage took place. I happily lived for 6
th
years without knowing whom I had married. We then separated. Now on our 60 

2



anniversary, we will come together. Through this, the Kali is removed and the Sathya
Yuga dawns. 
This lily is also a flower used at funerals. It is the death of Kali Yuga, the death of
evil qualities. It is the death of ignorance. Now, comes the funeral of death. It is the
death of Kali Yuga and the marriage of Sathya Yuga. It is a strange event. In one day,
Kali Yuga dies and the marriage of Sathya Yuga takes place. Only for God, does this
flower function in both ways. The day Swami and I meet will be Sathya Yuga's marriage.
From that day, the Stupi and Vishwa Brahma Garbha Kottam will begin to function.
How God’s omniscience reveals to this extent in everything! Through our life, Swami is
showing how this flower functions in both ways. It is used for opposite occasions:
marriage and funerals. However, both have not happened in anyone’s life at the same
time. Swami shows this through our life. 
10 June 2013
I always pray to Swami to write
something. At night when searching for
post, we found a drawing at the back of
one note. Here Swami drew eyes, nose
and mouth. He then wrote Smile, be
happy. In between Smile and be
happy, He drew I S I. Then wrote You
are a free bird now. Peace Love. In
between peace and love was another I
S I
Next, Swami wrote lways walk.
Under the l was written d and e. He then drew a heart. Under this drawing, He wrote
waiting for.
11 June 2013 Morning meditation
Vasantha :  Swami what is this you are writing?
Swami :  Be happy, from now onwards you will have nothing. I am coming from
your heart house down onto earth. You peacefully wait, I will come. 
Vasantha :  Swami you should now come. Will you call me?
Swami :  Sure, I will call. You will come.
Vasantha :  Swami how will it be the first time we see each other? 
Swami :  You will sit on a cot holding My picture. I will say why now also the
picture, I am physically here. Saying this, I will sit near you. It is this one
touch. Two Mahashakthi’s meet, which results in a cosmic explosion. The
world will turn upside down. All the touch feeling in the world
transforms. This is the 'big bang'. The Stupi will then begin to functio
n.

Vasantha :  I understand Swami. I am waiting for that day. Swami why these 5 lily
flowers?
Swami : Through our marriage all the 5 senses, 5 pranas (vital airs), 5
karmendriyas, 5 jnanendriyas become purified. 
End of meditation
Now let us see about this. Swami now says, “Your body suffering has finished.
You are now waiting for Me as a free bird.” From my heart house, Swami descends
walking along the path of Prema. D and e means He descends to earth. When He comes,
He will call me. We will all go there. As usual, I am sitting on the Hill House cot holding
Swami’s picture. Swami then says, “Why the picture and sits near me.” Here comes the
end. The two Mahashakthi’s meet creating a cosmic explosion. The world flips upside
down. It is like the big bang that took place before creation. The stupi opens and the
atoms within become star vibrations filling the entire earth. The touch feeling of all in
the world transforms. The Kali Yuga becomes the Sathya Yuga, the evil of Kali Yuga
transforms and good qualities spread. 
The 5 lily flowers indicate the purification of the 5 senses, 5 airs, 5 karmendriyas
and 5 jnendriyas. Everywhere is Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema and Ahimsa. All good
qualities emerge. I asked Swami what is the meaning of I S I. Swami said, "I am not Sai,
through your feelings I am coming as 'I without i' Vasantha." I am coming as Vasantha
without Sai. He is coming through my feelings and telling like this. Through my feelings,
Swami will come again. 

  Jai Sai Ram
