Nurturing Character

In this book, the greatest avatar of our time, Sathya Sai Baba (1926–2011), shares his thoughts with readers on the role of spirituality and culture in nurturing character. Sai Baba states: "Man has a short life on Earth. But even in this brief period, one can attain holy bliss if one manages time wisely. Here are two people of the same appearance and build, living under the same conditions, and one becomes an angel while the other remains an ordinary person. What is the reason for the difference in their development? It is the habits and the behavior formed on their basis, which in turn defined their character. A person is a creation of character." An appendix includes a collection titled "Saints and Their Prayers," compiled by Natalia Alexandrovna Shapovalova.
