Why do Sai's teachings seem to suggest that life on earth is more important than heaven?

πŸ“– Chapter 37

The teachings presented in Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra offer a unique perspective on the value of earthly life. The text argues that the earth-world is of profound importance, even more so than a heavenly realm from which one inevitably falls after their accumulated merit is exhausted. While many praise heaven, the Satcharitra dismisses it as a mere place for sensual enjoyment, which is ultimately no different from earthly pleasures. In contrast, Chapter 37 emphasizes that the earth-world, despite its fleeting nature, provides a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation. It states that a person who offers every action performed in a moment to God can attain a place of fearlessness, making life on earth more valuable than any temporary heavenly stay.
