The Sri Sathya Sai International Organization strives to put into practice, instill in all and share with the community five universal human values: Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Nonviolence. These values reside inherently within every person and thus are not acquired but rather, only elicited from within. These qualities are our natural and authentic characteristics. While everything in the world undergoes change, the ideals, virtues, and values embedded in human hearts endure as a timeless wellspring of inspiration for the world.

The five human values are intricately interdependent and interconnected. They collectively embody the fundamental aspects of human nature, akin to the petals of a single flower. These values transcend mere behavioral aspirations; they are inherent qualities intrinsic to every human being. Like dormant seeds, they await the nurturing conditions of soil, water, and sunshine to blossom into radiant flowers.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba has taught us that love is the common denominator for all the human values. When we embrace our divine nature, our thoughts are sourced on Truth. When thoughts in turn originate from a heart purified by love, they manifest as Right Action. When love permeates thoughts and actions, you attain Peace. When love leads to understanding, it naturally results in non-violence. Thus, love serves as the invisible thread that binds these four values together. To summarize: Love combined with thoughts is Truth. Love combined with feelings is Peace. Love combined with action is Right Action, and love combined with understanding is Non-violence.
