Sri Sathya Sai Baba sings prayer of Peace of Mind (Asato ma sad Gamaya)

From Daily prayers to Bhagavan

OM
Vakratunda Mahakaaya
Suryakoti Samaprabha
Nirvighnam Kuru Mey Deva
Sarva Kaaryeshu Sarvada

Meaning:The Lord with the curved trunk and a mighty body, who has the luster of a million suns, I pray to thee Oh Lord, to remove the obstacles from all the actions I intend to perform.

Sathya Sai Baba sings Asatoma:
Asatoma is the shanti-mantra. The mantra for inner peace. In short it means:
From untruth lead me to Truth, from darkness lead me to Light, from death lead me to Immortality.
Sai Baba says about this prayer:
Even for being blessed by the Lord's Grace, one must have Shanti (Inner Peace) and await patiently. Serenity alone succeeds in bringing about the result of Sadhana. Add this lesson to the practices you are engaged in, night and day, and to the Shanti Manthra.
"Asatho maa sadgamaya;
thamaso maa jyothirgamaya;
mrityor maa amritham gamaya,"

This is the Shantimanthra. The meaning of this mantra is given variously by various people, some elaborately, some succulently.

"O, Lord, when I am deriving happiness through the objects of this world, make me forget the unreal objects and show me the way to permanent happiness," this is the first prayer.

"O Lord, when the objects of the World attract me, remove the darkness which hides the all-pervading Atma, which every such object really is." This is the second prayer.

"O Lord, bless me through Your Grace with Immortality or Paramananda, resulting from the awareness of the Effulgence of the Atma, immanent in every object." This is the third prayer. This is the real meaning of the Mantra.

Also:
From this transient world of decay, lead me to the everlasting world of Bliss;
Give me the effulgence of Thy Grace and illumine my soul with truth; Save me from the torture of birth and death, destroy the cravings of the mind which produce the seeds of birth.
Sathya Sai Baba

Baba's speech:
'Premasvarupala!' - 'Embodiments of love'

"The spirit present in all of the beings is varily seen as that of mind. They are all full of the essential love. Without love, it is all just a pun, without love you can not be happy."

From Daily prayers to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
OM
Guru Brahmaa Guru Vishnu
Guru Devo Maheswara
Guru Saaksaat Param Brahma
Tasmai Shri Guruve Namaha

Meaning
Guru Is Brahmaa (Who plants the qualities of goodness)
Guru Is Vishnu (Who nurtures and fosters the qualities of goodness)
Guru Is Maheswara (Who weeds out the bad quality) Guru Is Supreme Brahman Itself
Prostration Unto That Guru

Gurur-Brahma, Gurur-Vishnuh,
Gurur-devo Maheswarah.
Gurussaakshaath Parabrahma
Thasmai Shri Gurave namah.
This sloka, which has a profound and sacred inner significance, has been given a distorted
meaning, elevating the role of the ordinary teacher, fragmenting the Divine and missing the basic
truth of oneness expressed in it.
Gurur-Brahma: The Brahma referred to here is not the creator. It refers to Vaak. (speech) Gurur-Vishnu refers to the all-perva-sive mind, which is present in all beings. This is the Vishnu principle.
Gurur-devo Maheswarah: This refers to the seat of the heart. Gurus-saakshaath Para Brahmah:
This means that the unity of speech, mind and heart represents the Supreme Atma, which should be revered as Guru.

Great to see Swami's voice on YouTube. One quick question, is the first line of the shanti mantra spelled "Asathoma Sath Gamaya" or "Asathoma Sadgamaya". I have seen both version on the internet but I originally thought it was "Asathoma Sathya Gamaya" just like Swami's name. Please help me sort this out, OM SAI RAM.

The mantra is:

Asato Ma Sad Gamaya

Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya

From the unreal, lead me to the real

From darkness, lead me to the light

From death, lead me to immortality.
