Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
Quotations
Sathya Sai Baba

Familiarity with books is not knowledge. One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning.
Home and family is the basic social institution everywhere in the world. When the home improves, the whole world will be better.
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre.
When the road ends, and the goal is gained, the pilgrim finds that he has travelled only from himself to himself.
