A Divine Reminder from our Beloved Sai
“Devotional singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, to glimpse the beauty that is God, to taste the bliss that is the Self. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real Self.” - Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. VII, pg. 497–498
