The Three Zeroes (Satsangh 1 hour)

The three zeroes is a spiritual concept that can scare the hell out of a person! In fact, when a lady asked Swami, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, to shower her with "Sai Krupa", Swami asked her whether she was ready for the three zeros. When she got to know what are the three zeros, she asked,
"Swami can I have Sai Karuna instead?" (Karuna is compassion while Krupa is grace - loosely translated).
What are the three zeroes and why are they so scary? More importantly, why should we not fear them and why should we welcome them instead?
These questions are answered through a long fictional story involving Swami and four devotees - Kuber, Maithri, Vibhuti and Prasanna. The story may be fictional, but it's message isn't. At the end we realize how true happiness is different from what we consider as happiness.
This is a talk delivered on 12th February 2016 in the Satsangh Hall at Prasanthi Nilayam.

[@premmaharaj6404]

Oh what a thought provoking story:fictions though but so full of truths;ingeniously inspired to you by Swami himself to carry us through our journey of life. Thank you 😊.surely so many many people would have identified with the three zeros and so comforting to know also that it is not punishment but just tests to pass to attain God. By His grace these lofty ideals are indeed achievable in this lifetime only cos we've been taught by the Avathar himself and continue to be inspired by His very committed team of messengers. Thank you Once again. I pray to Swami daily never to be separated from Him again and through this talk of yours I'm more motivated than ever to forge ahead to experience that.eternal bliss of union with God. Jai sai ram.

[@badripoondi5181]

It is an intellectual delight to listen to such powerful logic with such elegant illustrations, with so much eloquence... but what it leaves ultimately - the take away - is scarry... could we ever even dream of getting near such level of devotion that fulfills even a single zero..?! I recall the musings of Tagore in his celebrated composition Geetanjali: (recollecting from memory - may miss some words...) "I know priceless wealth is in Thee That thow art my best friend - but I have not the heart to sweep away the tinsel that fills my room (heart?) I hate it, yet hug it in love.." Is it not the state of commn mind that the poet depicts..?!

[@saistudent]

The beauty of it is, once we realize the truth, our concept of who we are itself changes. When we don't identify with the body, there is no suffering. But you are right. Now, in our current state, it's scarry. In my opinion, even getting an intellectual appreciation is a good step ahead. 🙏 Sairam
