Sathya Sai Baba

YOUR MISSION HAS BEGUN
These are My words to you, My devotees. Each of you has a unique and valuable part to play in this lifetime. Only those whom I have called can serve Me. My Mission has now reached that point in time when each one of you now has work to do. This planet has a purpose in the great galaxy in which it is held. That purpose is now unfolding before our eyes. I call on you to radiate the devotion within you So that it's unseen power will envelop all who come into your orbit. To successfully perform your part Always remain centred upon Me.

Allow yourself to impart that purity of heart within you towards all human beings and all living creatures and do not reach for the fruits of your work. This part of My Mission is performed in absolute silence. You are My instruments from whom My love will pour. Be always aware that the moment you let your ego descend upon you my work ceases. When you have overcome your negative unmindfulness you will again become My Source.

The multiplication of My Love will be felt throughout the world. I have prepared you for this work over many incarnations. I have drawn you to Me. I have made great steps in My Mission over these past incarnations. My work is ceaseless and so your work, too, is without end. Know that I am within you and without you. There is no difference. Rid yourself of petty matters forevermore. You are now ME and I and now THEE. There is no difference. My Darshan will pour forth from Me to and through you. You may be unaware of this constant action. Be ever pure of heart and soul and mankind in our lifetime will benefit from your unique qualities.

Others, too, will join Me in the Mission when I draw them to Me. The time is approaching when all humanity will live in harmony. That time will be here sooner than one expects. Before it arrives be prepared for whatsoever is needed to reveal to every living thing the true purpose of existence. It is not what anyone alive can imagine. It is not something that one can try to aspire to. It is beyond all comprehension. I can say its beauty is magnificent beyond all dreams. And as each of you perform your silent work, I embrace you to My Heart and henceforth your souls will be lifted up and your eyes will reveal My Presence within.

This I say to all My Devotees from the Lord's Mountain top where all the Universes become one. Be about My Work, My beloved Devotees. Your breath will carry the scent of the Blossoms of Heaven. Your example will be that of Angels.

Chris Parnell

Chris Parnell lives in Shepparton, Australia, in the heart of the Goulburn Valley. I work with software developers as software account manager for Rose City Software, a division of Infinisource.com. I can be generally found roving between Shepparton, Australia, and South India, and sometimes the USA, where I attend the Shareware Industry Conference.

In South India, I visit the ashrams of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and I toil toward my daily bread between software marketing and Editorial Consultant with Saitowers Publishing, where I have a small contribution to the Pictorial Biography of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Love is My Form.

In the meantime, I maintain several websites, including the Official Website for the Sathya Sai Baba website for Australia. The latest work completed online, the Sai Institute of Educare Website may be found here

Interests

My interests include spirituality, computing and the Internet, and lately, Harry Potter. Of late, I have been taking photographs which capture Shepparton at Christmas. I also take train photographs, of which you can find a few here.

I also took a few train photos on my recent visit to India

After India, I went to Germany where I took some pictures of my surroundings and my visit to Mother Meera.

Also, I did some train spotting in Germany . On this last trip around the world, I won a handheld Sony CLIE PEG-JT27 handheld, which uses the Palm desktop and all that. Tha Sony Clie has a camera lens in it so you can see my results using this camera, shake and all, first time I took photos with it. What camera shake, I was stabbing the screen with my finger to take photos. Oh well, we live and learn...

Blog

Much to my unexpected surprise, I have two blogs. One blog, on Opera, focuses on software and beta testing. This can be found over in Opera Journals. The other blog is over on blogger.com and focusses on spirituality and Sathya Sai Baba. See it here on Blogger.com
