Though iam not an devotee of Satya Sai Baba, i wish to share his thoughts with all of you. I always respect him for his contribution to our society;

A human body is associated with six stages of transformation: birth, growth, change, evolution, death and destruction.
Death accepts no excuse.
Tears do not move its heart.
Death gives advance notice of his arrival to take you — notice in the form of grey hair, falling teeth, failing vision, folding of the skin etc.
Death may call any moment.
Every moment, everyone is nearing death.
Death is not a deplorable event.
It is the journey’s end.
— From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba
Death involves certain developments that weaken and extinguish life. It does not affect the Atma; the Atma has no death. It cannot be destroyed. Therefore, one should not fear death. Death is but another stage of life. However long one suffers from illness or however severe the injury, death can happen only when Time signals the right moment. When the yearning for living ends, there can be no more birth.
— Sathya Sai Baba, Vidya Vahini
It is a living death if one is obsessed by pride, ego and anger.
— From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba
Swami's thoughts on Death
Following are some quotes on the topic of Death, picked from the Divine discourses of Swami.
The baby weeps as soon as it is born because the individual being has no desire to get entangled in the objective world once again. Science describes it as the process of breathing for the first time and clearing of the air passages. But why should it weep? The process can be started by some other way, say, shaking or shivering, is it not?
This life which begins with a wail must end with a smile. When you were a little baby, all around you smiled though you kept on wailing. But when you die round you weep at the loss, you should smile in peace and quiet resignation.
Reduce your wants. Minimize your desires. When death deprives you of resistance, your kith & kin take off the nosestud and in their haste, they may even cut the nose to retrieve it. If you go on heaping desire upon desire, it will be impossible to depart gladly when the call comes.
Do not attach yourself too much to the body or to the things that bring comfort to it. You earn three friends in this life:
The first: the riches you accumulate, which refuse to come with you when you move out of this life.
The second: the kith & kin who accompany your body only up to the burial ground or cremation ghat.
The third: the merit and demerit you have earned, which accompany you to the last.
When once Brahma asked sage Naaradha what was the most amazing thing he noticed on earth, Naaradha replied, 'The most amazing thing I saw was this: The dying are weeping over the dead.' Those who are themselves nearing death every moment are weeping over those who have died, as if their weeping has an effect, either to revive the dead or prevent their own death!
Grief sends you to God. When a child dies, ask yourself the question, 'Is it for my sake that he was born?' He had his own destiny to fulfil, his own history to work out. Gauthama Buddha's father was so overcome with grief when he saw his son with a begging bowl in the street, that he told him thus: 'Everyone of my ancestors was a King. What misfortune is this that a beggar was born in this line?' Buddha replied 'Every one of my ancestors had a beggar's bowl, I know of no king in my line.'
Feel that you are born with the dawn of every day; that you nestle in the lap of death when your eyes close in sleep. For, what happens in deep sleep? The body, the senses, the mind, the intelligence – all is negated and there is no trace of awareness of the world. Know that waking from sleep is but birth and going into sleep is death.
Forgetting the primary goal of life, man wastes his time. Time is precious. Death is dangling its sword over every head. Our life span is fast diminishing, like water leaking through a broken pot or a melting block of ice. Death overtakes man even before he realizes his mission in life.
When we want to go to a cinema, or for an evening walk, we get ready by putting on our shoes. When we want to visit a nearby town, we pack our clothes in a bag. But what preparations do you make for the ultimate journey, the voyage of death?
All are beggars at the gate of God. The hero is he who does not beg or cringe or flatter or fawn. He knows that the Lord knows best.

Dear All,
I am sharing my knowledge with you.
One of the interesting facts, most of the people on earth are unaware that, 1400years ago QURAN was revealed on EARTH followed by HADEETH.
All thoughts of SATHYA SAI BABA, mention above are found in QURAN and HADEETH is TRUE LIFE of PROPHET MOHAMMED(PBUH).

Dear Mr. Mohan
I was just sharing my knowledge. I only love to speak the BITTER TRUTH and associated FACTS.
Here, i support you, not even PROPHET MOHAMMED(PBUH) had an image of ALMIGHTY, though PROPHET MOHAMMED(PBUH) was invited by ALMIGHTY to receive a message, that has to be implemented on TOP PRIORITY LEVEL.
Without hope we can't achieve nothing. If there is a POSITIVE HOPE then you will find ALMIGHTY everywhere but, if the HOPE is NEGATIVE, we are almost lost ourselves in this world and never one can reach his DESTINY...
Our positive belief will make us achieve our dreams, with the grace of ALMIGHTY only..
There is something beyond this sphere......far beyond our imagination levels.
With profound regards

Dear Mr. Karthick
It is nice to see such a thought provoking article.
Whether Mr. Sai baba a god or incarnation or human being....................., hope is not in debate. As a matter of fact he was a very good Social Worker, who helped so many poor patients to get proper treatment for their ailments, who cannot imagine for such medical treatment through his trust.
His educational Trust is doing very good service to the society.
His motivation made many human being to turn into social worker.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Karthick
