Blessed Souls in the Service of Sai

When Baba first came to Shirdi to attend the wedding of Chand Patil's nephew, it was Mhalsapathy, Baba's fond devotee who first addressed, "Welcome to You, Sai".

What a wise soul that Mhalsapathy was to sense the Divinity of Sai and became His blessed devotee by making known Baba to the world as 'Sai'. It is again he, who initiated the practice of applying sandal paste to Sai's forehead and perform Pooja.

Another great devotee Radhakrishnamayi, never saw Baba's face but adored Baba as her Beloved Lord Krishna and initiated the daily worship of Sai by singing hymns in Baba's praise, sheltering, feeding the devotees and arranging royal honours to the Cosmic King, Sai. Gajanan Pathekar served Baba and became, Baba-blessedly, a mystic of fame by the name of Gajanan Maharaj.

Though Kashinath, an orthodox Brahmin, suspected Baba to be a Muslim and distanced Him, the All-Knowing Baba took care of his spiritual evolution and groomed him into sainthood, to be later adored by all as Upasani Maharaj.

When Vaman Rao, an ardent Baba devotee, was freed of house-holder attachments, he became a recluse by Baba's blessings and changed his name as 'Sai Sharan'.

From the very day of His Avataric Advent on the earth, Sainath has been blessing His devotee children to grow and glow in the Light of Wisdom and Divine Delight. 

We are Never Alone when God Dwells within Us

For the people who believe in the Omnipresent God, the entire world will stand in support. They are not alone. When we have the treasure of God's love with us, what more is needed? Believing in God, wherever we are, we will be in His safe hands. 

 

God is eternal. It depends on our point of view to speak about His existence or non-existence. God will be with us only when we believe in His presence and dwell in His consciousness. 

 

As long as we are devoid of His consciousness and float in the earthly thoughts, He is not visible to us. Just because Baba has not appeared the moment we thought of Him, can we say that He is non-existing? He is in His Divine State of Ever-New Delight. 

 

It is, indeed, our folly not to remember Him and should not think that Baba did give us up. He will not desert his devotees once He holds them in His Hand. Baba makes us come closer to Him when we try to move away from Him. It may take some time, but Baba will be behind our back and will draw us closer to Him.

 

 It is our weak faith that causes delays, and not Baba. Our assumption of being alone is caused by our failure to acknowledge God in the form of Baba. 

 

Hence, we should behold Baba in our inward eye and hold Him in our heart.

Weakness can be Overcome when Divine Support is Coupled with Determination

Every individual possesses a combination of some good and bad qualities. We must try to get rid of negative qualities and attempt to cultivate noble ones. It is a common experience that we all face both favourable and adverse times.

God has given freedom to us to either choose a good environment and strive to cultivate good qualities or yield to temptations. Baba leaves the choice to us whether we swim against the fury of the water current or glide along the smooth current.

Our minds get fortified if we choose the right path and walk on it. When we tread the right path, Baba empowers our minds to live boldly and gladly.

Even Baba energizes us with His Spirit-Power.We will surely get the due returns to our firm faith, right frame of thoughts and discipline.

One who swims against the powerful current with iron will and faith in God will certainly reach the destination. Baba, God Incarnate, moulds our characters, fills our souls with His Holy Spirit, enthuses and shapes our destinies for good.

Just as ebb and flow and whirlwinds are unavoidable in an ocean, troubles and problems are quite common in life.

To overcome all these factors with determination and courage, the four-lettered miraculous word, "BABA" is enough to eliminate our weaknesses.

When Baba is with us we can Easily Cross Over the Ocean of Worldly Life

We should keep our minds on God and always contemplate on Him in order to cross the ocean of life. If not, at every stage, there would be obstacles, failures, humiliations and insults, leading to chaos in life. For the believers in Baba, no troubles would cause harm. 

 

With minds fixed on Baba, if we move ahead with a feeling that "You are making me walk, Father", Baba will turn the abysmal ocean of life into a knee-deep canal and ensures smooth passage by holding and leading us by His Hand. 

 

Though cursed by poverty, a devotee of Baba, Mhalsapathy's life never faced any troubles. At the very first encounter, he addressed Baba as 'Sai' and could as well recognize Baba's Divinity. We commit blunders with our limited knowledge by ignoring the enormous love and kindness of Baba. 

 

Do we have faith that our victory in every work is the gift of Baba? Do we show gratitude to Baba for every success and accept it as Baba's gift? We need to search our souls. Most of the devotees seek fulfillment of physical desires. 

 

Again, the devotees who would ask "Baba, I seek you, I need Your presence always, I have no other worldly desires" are very few. 

 

On focusing our mind on Baba, every step that we take will lead us on the path of devotion and helps us reach Sai, the Guiding Light of our Lives.

Strength of Sai Naam

Sai! If I call thee,
And you do not respond
Could that be possible?
If you do not respond to my call,
It means,
My call has no strength.
How could I blame you for not responding.
Baba! Fill my voice with firmness.
Hearing which the whole universe should tremble
And when with perfect quietttude
I utter the word 'SAI'
The fire raging in burning hearts.
Should extinguish.
The walls of discrimination all around should tumble down
Religious strifes should end.
Man may understand man.
And absolute peace reigns all around.

साईं पूजा,

श्री साईं सच्चरित्र में हेमांड पन्त ने बाबा की पूजा कैसे करनी चाहिए,विषय पर लिखा है कि बाबा की याद में पूजा करते समय प्रेम -अशरुओ के बिन्दु गिरने दीजिये,पवित्र प्रेम के चंदन से उनके माथे पर तिलक लगाइए ! 

पवित्र भक्ति की चद्दर उन्हे ओड़े! 

सात्विक विचारो के फल फूल उन्हे अर्पित करने का प्रयेत्न कीजिये ! 

इससे बाबा संतुष्ट होंगे और अपने भक्त पर प्रसन्न होंगे !
श्री बाबा की पूजा के लिए नवरत्नों ,इतर गुलाब-दानी अथवा फल -फूलो की, किसी की आवश्यकता नहीं हे ! 
श्री साईं सच्चे प्रेम और भक्ति के भूखे हैं !

Read Baba's Biography to Acquire Precious Treasure of Wisdom

Man loves to possess inexhaustible wealth. He longs to enjoy endless ever-new joy. It is easy to acquire, but man behaves without foresight and in haste. Although, the ocean has plenty of pearls and corals, man would prefer to get the easily available shells and conch-shells scattered on the sands of the sea-shore.

Devotees who gather around Sai Baba used to feel relieved and happy after eating the sanctified food offered by Baba and getting their worldly desires fulfilled, feel relieved and happy. Baba would chuckle and say "My Treasure of Spiritual Wisdom is full and over-flowing. None asks for it".

Devotees like Upasani Baba and Sai Sharanananda, never did they expect temporary gains or pleasures from Baba. He gifted them with priceless Divine Treasure of Wisdom and Ever-New Delight. We need not lament that our spiritual guide Baba has entered the Samadhi.

Baba's leelas and the miracles He performed for the sick and suffering have been preserved in Sri Sai Satcharitra, penned by Hemadpant. One has to go through every line of it.

The reading of Satcharitra, with a devout heart, should be daily undertaken. Then, we are assured of invaluable advice and divine directions from Baba. The lamp of wisdom lit will dispel our ignorance and we experience Divine Delight.

Nine Modes of Devotion-Worshipping Sai's Feet

Worshipping the Feet of Sainath is a mode of devotion. One should overcome one's own pride, self-respect and serve the Lotus Feet of Sainath.

During the process of worship and prayer, several devotees used to offer the holy water in which His Feet were washed. That holy water is capable of curing several diseases and even freeing devotees from earthly bonds. To satisfy the desire of Dasganu, Baba caused the confluence of Ganges and Yamuna rivers spring from His feet.

Although Dasganu was able to see the miraculous sight and wet his head by sprinkling the holy water on the head, he was hesitant to sip it. Baba's grace was showered on him to that extent only. We, who are sinking in this vast ocean of life and unable to reach the shore, should behold the Feet of Baba and seek salvation.

The devotees of Shirdi used to sweep every inch of the path-way touched by the Feet of Baba, sprinkled cow dung water and beautiful patterns in lime powder were drawn on the ground to give a festive look. They used to spread sheets of cloth on the path leading from Masjid to Chavadi so that His tender Feet should not get hurt. This service is for getting bliss. They worshipped His Feet in different forms to derive pleasure out of the service. Let us worship those beautiful pair of His Lotus Feet with fragrant flowers and get blessed by His divine love.

Well-Protected Spiritual Home

We always wish that our life should go smoother and safer. But we should strive for it. We alone reap the fruits of our actions. A beautiful and well-protected house is a pre-requisite to live happily without any tensions and agitations. In the spiritual life, we should treat the four thoughts viz, faith in Baba, confidence, love and obedience as the four walls of the house.

We should raise the sturdy roof of deep devotion over it. A house built like this will be able to withstand any inclement weather, be it furious gales, torrential rains or floods so that it remains strong and stable. It gets the strength of soul to boldly face any hardship or problem. We, who walk in the light of Baba's blessings, go ahead fearlessly.We, who drink the nectarine devotion for Baba, will never get fatigued or feel hungry. As we think that all are the children of Baba, we treat everyone as our kith and kin.

Living together in love and concord, we experience the sweetness of the company of the good souls. Gradually, Baba will spiritually energise our hearts. Devotees will lose charm of worldly desires and realize that the purpose of life is to reach the presence of Baba. We enjoy Baba's love in full measure. We attain a state of mind where we remain cool-headed and poised in any situation. Our hearts rejoice when we cast our burdens on God, completely

Baba Says……..

Have faith in Me. Even though I give up this body,
My bones in my Tomb will give you hope and confidence.
Not only I but My Tomb would be speaking moving and communication with those,who surrender to me whole-heartedly.

Baba was laid to rest on the 15th of October 1918. After His Samadhi, Baba appeared in the dreams of Kaka Mahajan on 13th November 1918 and said "Wake up! Why do you sleep still? Get up and worship Me". This is the 30th day of My Samadhi. When Kaka got up and verified, it was exactly the 30th day since Baba was buried.

Baba worshipped His Guru as the form of the highest absolute reality and finally got united with Him. Likewise, if we give up our caprices of mind, feelings of attachment and hate and remember Baba in our thoughts, words and deeds, He will then free us from the bondage of accumulated sins of the past births. Therefore, Baba assured "I shall be Ever-Active and Vigorous even from My Tomb".

Baba is Infinite

It is not apt on our part to limit Baba, the Infinite One. Many people failed to comprehend Baba's miracles. Dwelling in the human body, He revealed His Infinity and Divinity and showed the way to attain the fruit of self-realization.

Out of unbounded compassion, Baba took on to His body and suffered the diseases and discomforts of His devotees. In order to save or lessen the adverse effects of the past sins committed by many a devotee, Baba received the sins of many births of His devotees in the form of bhiksha or alms which He begged from His devotees. 

By lighting earthen lamps with water, He dispelled the darkness in the minds of the ignorant. He opened their inner eye of wisdom. He showed by His own life, how one should not get attached to one's body while living in a body and how to perform one's duties without getting attached to the fruit of one's effort.By His Divine Power, He blessed Dasganu to witness the sacred rivers Ganga and Yamuna gush out from the toes of His Feet. Since the body is perishable, Baba wants to guide us in the light of the immortal spirit in us.

Baba has been broadcasting to our minds the message, viz, "if you want to know My Omnipresence and Universal Love, do remember Me in full faith. I will ensure that your legitimate desires are fulfilled and right prayers answered even before you ask or pray for Me".

Pride Goes Before a Fall

Time is precious. Every moment is priceless. It is a rare opportunity to get the gift of human life. Therefore, no one should waste a single second. 

 

If one congratulates himself and prides himself upon his achievements, his fall begins. The pace of his progress may slow down and many an opportunity might slip. God always helps those who are hard working. We must move along the right path. We must choose a higher objective and earnestly strive to achieve it. 

 

Otherwise, we would waste our precious time and life. Those who put their knowledge and money in the service of society and live in constant remembrance of God would, in course of time, get honoured by all. Our life should have series of worthwhile targets and must make constant efforts to reach them. We should not be like the rabbit which fell asleep in the middle of the race and failed to reach the target. But the tortoise did not rest, but inched its way, slowly and steadily, until it reached the target. Haughty self-pride in one's achievements may cause a slip from the peak of success. 

 

Pride goes before a fall. If one strives constantly, with humility of heart and sense of devotion and faith, one is assured of success. It is enough if one stops craving for carnal pleasures and starts living in the light of God. There is no downfall. May Baba guide us on the right path and take us nearer to Him.

 

Have a nice day !

Baba's happy face
Takes us to a cheerful place,
Where all the sadness
Turns into gladness
And troubles fade way...
Worries and fears dissipate
And happiness ensues...
So here's a bunch of happy smiles
Especially for you…Have a nice day !

Wisdom in Sayings, Proverbs, Messages

'Sayings' refer to a word. It is a medium through which we express our feelings to others. A person's reputation gets enhanced by the power of good words spoken.

Word has power to develop or destroy self-confidence of a person. At times, words work like good medicine. Words heal sick minds and bodies. Words that teach good and show good are called a 'proverb'. Some great souls with their mellowed spiritual wisdom have gifted the humanity with gems of truth through words and books. This is the priceless treasure of wisdom entrusted to us.

Baba always taught "although you may not do charity always, but do not scold or drive away those who seek your alms or beg". It is not mere proverb. It is a leading light in our hand that guides our lives. We would say a good word for the benefit of someone. A word thus spoken for the good of others must be beneficial. We should abide by it. Words that warn us to mend our behaviour might appear bitter. Still, they should be implemented. We know how much Damu Anna gained by following Baba's advice by not investing in a trade.

When we are in a dilemma whether to do a work or not, Baba guides us in one form or the other. We should immediately obey and get benefited and saved. We should, therefore, cultivate the habit of talking less but in a smoother, sweeter, polished manner.
