The pre-world Sai ideal Conference, to be held in 17-18 April, will include two study circles, one on Sai Ideal Human Life and one on Sai Ideal Spiritual Organization (see Pre-conference 2010).

These study circles will be carried out in the context of what Swami has said about God is, I am I, and Love all, serve all, and for this purpose participants are expected to read the 9 discourses and the concordance of quotes to be found on the website before coming to the conference.

However, rather than just read the 9 discourses, we suggest that Sai Centers have study circles on the 9 discourses, with the aim of pondering on and discussing and finally understanding God is, I am I, and Love all, serve all and what they mean to us.

These study circles could serve two purposes:

1. Devotees who are not going to the conference will benefit from the study circles too, and, after the conference, reports to the centers from those who went will be more beneficial.
2. As is always the case, one benefits far more from a study circle than from reading because one hears the different viewpoints, the different facets as the diamond gets polished by different people.

We suggest (and it is only a suggestion) that Sai Centers study the 9 discourses in the coming months. Don't race through them. Instead, aim to cover at least one from each of the topics (God is, I am I, and Love all, serve all) before the conference. It is better to spend time on one discourse, gaining much understanding, than it is to race through several of them.
