“The main cause of cancer is refined sugar. The reason is that in the refining of sugar a lot of chemicals are added and one of these processing chemicals is bone-char. When you eat, it may get lodged in any part of the body and create problems. Eradicate sugar and you will eradicate cancer.

Sugar encourages calcium losses and is sufficient to increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones in the urinary tract. In place of sugar, jaggery is a good substitute."

-Sathya Sai Baba’s Discourse, Jan. 3, 1994

“Prayer is the very breath of religion; for, it brings man and God nearer and nearer to each other. Meditation (dhyana) is the process of listening to the Song Celestial, the flute of Krishna, with the mental ears alert on the melody. Just as every day you engage in exercises and consume tonics, calculating the intake of calories and vitamins, paying meticulous attention to the nutritional value of the food, pay attention also to the intake of impressions into the mind, whether they debilitate or strengthen, whether they add to the power of resistance of the mind against the viruses - greed, envy, hatred, pride, malice, etc.

Have a meal of good acts of service, divine thoughts, and drink the juice of Love (Prema rasa), so that they may be washed down, and digested well. Then, you can be shining in mental health, happiness and wholesomeness".
