About the Book
"The world is teaching man innumerable lessons all the time. Each one should try to discover for himself the secret of his life and the Universal Consciousness that is inherent in him. The first requisite for each one is to make himself his own guru," said Bhagawan in a discourse at Sri Sathya Sai University (then Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning) on July 3, 1986. This book is the story of the efforts made by the author in obedience to that instruction and of some of the ways she has been assisted in her inner search by Baba's simple but every effective teaching methods. This book does not attempt to tell anyone else how to live his life. It does not include any experiences except those of which the author has first-hand knowledge. No attempt is made to describe or explain Sathya Sai Baba, but the author illustrates by incidents in her personal story what knowing Him has meant to her.
This book is the first volume in the quartet, the other volumes being, "Life Is a challenge, Meet It!", "Life Is a Dream, Realise It!", "Life Is Love, Enjoy It!"
Introduction
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba said in a discourse given at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning on July 3, 1986, "The world is teaching many innumerable lessons all the time. Each one should try to discover for himself the secret of his life and the Universal Consciousness that is inherent in him. The first requisite for each one is to make himself his own Guru." This book is the story of the efforts made by the author to be obedient to that instruction and of some of the ways she has been assisted in her inner search by Baba's simple but very effective teaching methods. This book does not attempt to tell anyone else how to live his life. It does not include any experiences except those of which the author has first-hand knowledge. No attempt is made to describe or explain Sri Sathya Sai Baba, but the author illustrates by incidents in her personal story what knowing Him has meant to her. Dr. John Hislop said in his book My Baba and I: "At one and the same time, in various regions of the world, great numbers of people experience direct contact and direct help from Baba by means of inner hearing and intuition, by dreams, by visions, by manifest appearance, [and] by leading events..." The author's experiences of help through these means are perhaps among the very least of those occurring throughout the world. It is for this reason that she relates them - not because they are unusual, but because they are not. No effort has been made to arrange the book in chronological order. It is related in units of lessons and a particular lesson may have spanned weeks, months, five years, or a lifetime.
