One step closer to Brahma Gyaan

One step closer to Brahma gyan:::: A 'devotee' goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to the Temple . 'I've gone for 30 years now, he wrote, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 mantras. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Gurus are wasting theirs by giving services at all. This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today! When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! ------------------------------ So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. Some people stay stuck for years over something they did or a failure they've experienced. Sad. A life is a terrible thing to waste. But let me ask you a question: "is there really such a thing as a mistake?" First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Experience that will help us do, feel and be even better. So, just maybe, there are no mistakes. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most wins. ---------------------- A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to Leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' 'You don't know? You, a Christian man, Do not know what is on the other side?' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.' ------------------------------- A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble. Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship, friendship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully ---------------------- The tragedy of life is not death,but what we let die inside us while we live.When u were born,the world rejoiced while u cried,-live ur life in such a way that when you die,-the world cries while u rejoice.. -------------------------------- Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny รข€“ shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. There's no such thing as an unimportant day. Each of us is called to greatness. Each of us has an exquisite power within us. But for this power to grow, we need to use it. The more you exercise it each day, the stronger it gets. The more this power gets tapped, the more confident you grow. The best among us are not more gifted than the rest. They just take small steps each day as they march towards their biggest life. And the days slip into weeks, the weeks into months and before they know it, they arrive at a place called Extraordinary. ----------------------------- If you can not respect , love , care about ,stand by or be honest with your own parents ,-who gave birth to you and were the very first people who fell in love with you -- then whether you accept this or not but you do not love anyone else in this world either with all your heart and soul ....and time will show that none of your children will stand by you either- when you will need them the most.. ----------------------------------- If you sit with a person who is smoking, even without ur knowledge- You will end up inhaling second hand smoke.In the same way, if you be in the company of saints who constantly preach about the importance of doing good karma-, automatically even without ur knowledge- u will end up doing a lot of positive and humble deeds. If you be in the company of a person who keeps saying bad words and abusing others then then obviously whether u like it or not -- u will end up being the same kind of person sooner or later. And if u constantly listen to Gods name, his praises, his bhajans-even without you being aware of it - the words that will come out of your mouth will be nothing but the nectar of love and bliss. So be in the company of God and even without your knowledge-You will find him seated in your heart - talking to you and finding solutions to ur problems and worries.You just need to take one step towards Him and He will take 100 steps towards you.. By Deepa H inspired by Sai -------------------------------------------- Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day Will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace... ......................................................................................With lots of good wishes and regards to all from Deepa H and family [ debu7366@yahoo.com ] ...............May Sai always give us peace of mind and May he always make us feel His presence where ever we go....

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 1st July

My Mortal remains would Speak from the Tomb------
While shedding His mortal coil, Baba assured us that, He would not go beyond the frontiers of our mind and that He will shine as the Eternal Light in the temple of our souls, awaken us to His presence and leads us on the right path. The divine concepts and the secrets of the universe which we could not explore in a human form can get unravelled in a state of Samadhi in which the human mind gets attuned to the Universal Mind of Sai. That is why Sainath uttered "from the Tomb (Samadhi)". Time and again, Baba has been proving this by manifesting and speaking wherever one chants His Name, adores His Form and attains a state of Samadhi through meditation.Sri Sai said, those who transcend their conscious bodies and attain the yogic trance of Samadhi can behold His Divine Form and listen to His Words. If we attain the Yogic state of Samadhi and get attuned to Baba, He would appear in flesh and blood and delights us with His Assuring Voice. Indeed, blessed is one's life who communicates with Him in that state. One who experiences it will go beyond the mundane limits and remain in a blissful state of perfection and sainthood. Reaching this non-dualistic state is the ultimate phase of self-evolution. By getting engrossed in deep meditation on Sai, several blessed souls even today see Baba's Divine Form.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 30th June
Fund of Knowledge gets Enhanced when Shared-----------
All physical wealth will gradually get exhausted as we spend it more and more. Even a mountain of treasure will get reduced to nothingness if it is used more. But the wealth of knowledge never gets diminished. It spreads light like a lamp and will not become dim. On lighting another lamp, the light of the first lamp will not diminish. Likewise, by sharing our knowledge with others, it will not get reduced; but, in turn, it benefits the receiver. Knowledge multiplies when it is shared with others.Just as regular practice will culture the voice of a singer to make it sweeter, so also the fresh waters in a well will spring out more water as we use it; likewise, teaching others will enrich our fund of knowledge. To teach is to share it twice. While teaching, new meanings and interpretations will surface, which were not noticed earlier. On each occasion of spirited teaching, the teacher becomes the taught and learns something more. Hence, sharing our knowledge will do good to us. If we share with others the knowledge we acquired from great teachers, we will be repaying our intellectual debt to our teachers. Let us follow and preach the great sayings of our God-Guru Sri Shirdi Sai Baba to everyone and become worthy of enjoying His divine blessings.

Ignoring God is Real Suffering------------------
Pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow are part and parcel of human life. It is but natural for humans to feel depressed in sufferings and elated in pleasures. But it so happens that joys are forgotten and hardships remembered. However, neither phase is permanent. In troubled times, people remember God and make many religious vows for fulfillment of their desires. But when the troubles are overcome, we see people enjoy worldly pleasures and live a life without prayers or devotion to God. Thus, Kunthi, pleaded Lord Krishna to always give her hardships so that she could always remember Him. Kuchela, the class-mate of Lord Krishna, thought that the Lord made him endure hardships in order to bless him enjoy prosperity later.We suffer when we get hurt, fall sick, lose property, loved ones desert us or things do not happen as planned etc. We can face sufferings with our tough minds. Many people do not know what a suffering is. In fact, the gravest and biggest trouble to human beings is ignoring the Ever-Loving and Ever-Helping God. As long as man meditates and worships God, he would live in happiness. But, forgetting God or neglecting prayers is sin. When we block the flow of God's grace, what remains is void. As God's grace rains on us, all misery we experience would simply melt away like ice.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 28th June
Realize that Baba is Unique-------------
Man has to make the best use of available time. We should always try to focus our mind on God. Even though we are busily engaged in selfless service, our minds should always think of God. We should not stop remembering God simply because we are engaged in social service. Slowly, the egoistic feeling that 'I' am doing work' will dominate the mind. It causes us to forget God who made us as His instruments to accomplish His great purpose. When ego gets bloated, we may lose the spirit of spirituality in our service. Deprived of the spirit of service, we may get alienated from God. In whatever work we are engaged in, we must always chant Baba's name and remember that Baba pervades in all beings and everywhere. To serve all is to serve Sai, the Omnipresent One.The devotion to God should not be like the dress we change everyday but should become the breath of our lives. 'Before you get to work, offer it to me'.... these words of Baba have to be kept in mind. If we can constantly chant His name while engaged in work, Baba will make it successful and Himself decides the due returns for it. It is Baba who does and gets the work done through us. Even the receiver and the active force of help is Baba alone. In our spiritual practice, we must bear in mind the truth that Sai is the Prime Mover of our lives.

Picture of Shadow of Sai in Dhoop Gaon under the neem tree

Miracles are Miracles - Some beleive in them and some dont.. Some Sai devotees after seeing the below picture might feel the bliss of Sai darshan and some devotees might try to search logic in it..But whether you beleive it or not, Sai has shown his presence to all His devotees in some form or the other.Some have seen Baba in Shirdi, some have seen Baba in their houses,some in their dreams, and for some of His staunch devotees- Baba is everywhere and life is full of Sai leelas for them.Here is one such leela of Baba that was captured thru a photograph where one can clearly see Baba's shadow under the neem tree.. Below is a copy of the email sent to me by Sai Bhakt Manu Gidwani.I thank him for sharing this wonderful leela of Baba with all of us.May Sai always be with all of us and may our faith and devotion in Sai help us to see the magic of Baba that keeps happening even after his samdhi.



OM SAI RAM DEEPA JI,
The picture attached is of the year 2008 taken in DHOOP GAON village now known as DHOOP KHEDA which is 38 kilometers from Aurangabad and 140 kilometers from SHIRDI. DHOOP GAON is a village where SAI DEVOTEE CHANDBHAI PATIL stayed and a holy village where SAI BABA spent some years with CHAND PATIL until SAI accompanied CHAND PATIL to SHIRDI for the wedding of CHAND PATIL'S brother's son whose bride was from SHIRDI. SAI BABA used to sit under the NEEM TREE with CHAND PATIL. Some of the devotees who went to DHOOP GAON for Darshan of the house of CHAND PATIL and SAI BABA'S NEEM TREE, one of them clicked the picture of Sai devotees worshipping the Neem Tree.
When the picture was developed the Sai devotees were shocked to see SAI' S shadow in the picture which was not visible in the camera while clicking. This makes every one believe that SAI BABA still comes and blesses his true SAI BHAKTS. In my SAI VACHAN Video CD I have shown and said in Hindi " MAN KI AAKHON SE DEKHE TO SAI AAJ BHI AATEN HAI SHIRDI." In english it means " IF YOU SEE WITH THE EYES OF YOUR HEART, SAI.... COMES TO SHIRDI TODAY ALSO". SAI proved my sayings to be right when I saw the picture taken at village DHOOP GAON (DHOOP KHEDA). SAI ordered me to visit the House of CHAND PATIL a week before my visit to DHOOP GAON. I have shot with my movie camera the house of CHAND BHAI where His Grandson BALA HASSAN PATIL still staying in the same house of CHAND PATIL. This I will be showing in my new exclusive Video CD titled "AAO SAI". I go to Shirdi two to three times a month whenever there is a call from my SAI and as per SAI'S order I visit the houses of LAXMI MAA and meet Her Grand daughter SHAILAJA MAA, SHAMA MASTER and meet His daughter in law, BHAGAT MHALSAPATI and meet His Grandson Manohar Nagare and His Great Grandson Deepak Nagare, BHAYAJA MAA and meet Her Great Grand Son Mukund Kote Patil the Grandson of TATYA too. If SAI wishes I will be visiting the house of DAS GANU in Nanded very soon.
The Grand son of CHAND PATIL gave me some fresh green Neem Tree leaves to eat and as every Sai devotee knows, was very sweet. A Neem Tree leaf is never sweet if taken from any other place.

Love Binds us Live Together--------
If the universe is a globe, then its focal point is pure and selfless love. Love is, indeed, the basis for not only earning a place at the feet of God but also to live in harmony with every living being of the universe. Love is the Law of Life. We can reach God through several ways and means of devotion. We should never think that we are living in this world with thoughts of God, and, therefore, we alone are only related to God. What are we to do with this world? Because God loves us either in the form of a teacher, mother, father or friend, and keeps us on the right track. Having stepped on the right path and moved closer to God, it would be sheer selfishness to neglect and forget worldly duties. The winds blowing over the jasmines will steal the fragrance, store them and provide us the delight of the aroma. Likewise, we have to fill our hearts with God-Love and live in harmony with our neighbours. This is not a difficult task. What we essentially require is to have patience, obedience, love and sympathy. If we see the world with eyes embalmed with love, God appears in every being of nature. All are like us. What we think as the best for us, the same should be given to our fellow beings. Love enriches spiritual wisdom and deepens devotion in us. Then, God would be held as a captive in our hearts.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 26th June
Our Body is a Means for Attaining Salvation------
The wonderful power of human beings lies in their knowledge. Man realizes God by the power of Self-knowledge. For this reason, even gods are jealous of the human birth. They too wish to take human birth and attain liberation. Man, who is blessed with the precious human life, should be ever-watchful and make the most of every hour of his life. Knowing that time once lost cannot be regained, one should shun laziness and dullness and set himself to make his life worthier. One must resolve not to eat much, or sleep long hours or wallow in pleasures and instead eat less and sleep less and abide by Baba's words of prudence and guidance.Even though we possess abundant wealth, we should do all our works on our own and never depend on others. However, if we pamper the body and accustom it to luxuries and pleasures, life becomes futile. But, the body should neither be neglected nor loved too much. We must just take as much care of the body as a horse-rider takes care of his horse till the destination is reached. We should ensure that the body is cared for as a befitting instrument for Self-liberation. Indeed, it is a great boon to beget human birth. And we are doubly fortunate to have the opportunity of getting self-liberated by serving and adoring the Feet of Sainath.

Shri Shirdi Sai speaks- 25th June/Story behind the release of Sai Vachan vcd & Sai se Binti audio cd

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 25th June
Every Day is a Thursday, We are All Members of Sai Family Several Sai devotees among us observe fasting on every Thursday, sing hymns in Sai's glory and make charity by visiting Sai Temples. They get busily engrossed in their occupations or business during the other days of the week. But, true devotees of Baba should treat every day as a Thursday. Generally, the reading of "Sri Sai Satcharitra", would take seven days to complete it, if started on a Thursday. Instead, if we read it again and again, we get peace of mind as a result of Baba's teachings getting deeply imprinted on our minds. They are the true devotees of Sai who undertake a work with a clear grasp of its nature and engage themselves to work eagerly, in a dedicated spirit. Sai's Light of Grace always guides them to succeed.It is not justified to wait for a Thursday to feed a starving man. Every moment should be thought of as a great boon of God and inspired by Sai's Spirit of Love and Compassion, one should treat every soul as Sai. All those who lead a life of transparent honesty and selfless service of love are treading the Sai Path. One should know that one need not wait till a Thursday to do good works. If we realize it, everyday is a Thursday, every heart a Shrine of Shirdi, every mind is but Dwarakamayi. We should all deem ourselves as members Universal Sai family.
Below is a copy of the mail sent to me by Sai Bhakt Manu Gidwani in which he has shared the story behind the Sai Vachan vcd and Sai se Binti audio cd .Most of you might have viewed the Sai Vachan vcd on Astha tv channel.
In the above picture from left - Tatya, Bayaja Maa, Mhalsapati, Saibaba, Laxmi Maa, Das Ganu , Shama Master, Abdul Baba, Chand patil and in the middle Sai Bhakt Manu Gidwani ...

OM SAI RAM DEEPA JI,
Yes, it is me in the middle of the picture with Sai and His devotees who were with Sai always. The true story behind this picture is that a few months back on one fine Wednesday afternoon, I received a call from one Sai Bhakt requesting me to meet him urgently. We were unknown to each other, but when we were talking over the phone for about 45 minutes, I felt that we both knew each other since ages. I went to him, saw him, he was a stranger to me and had never seen or met him before. He started talking about Sai and I too did the same and the talk about Sai lasted for three hours making me feel as if we knew each other since ages.
He then handed over a book to me on Sai in Hindi with 11 chapters to be translated into English, and requested me to translate it. I refused to do so as I have never done this before. He was bent upon getting the translation done by me. I asked him why he has been pressurising me and as to who told him that I can do the job. He without any hesitation said 'MY SAI'.
I could not say any thing, became dumb and brought the book home. One chapter to translate took me three hours. I went to sleep at 2 am and it was Thursday. At 2.30 am my Sai woke me up and asked me what was I doing?
I replied MERE SAI TUM TO SAB JANTE HO AUR MAI TO TUMHARE LIYE LIKH RAHAA THA.
My Sai lovingly said 'MUJH SE TO SAB PYAR KARTE HAI, MERI PUJA KARTE HAI, MERA DYAN KARTE HAI, LEKIN MERE BHAKTON KO KYON BHOOL GHAYE HO, MERE BHAKTON KE LIYE LIKHO’.
I said, SAI.... I have never written before. Sai said again that you worship me every day, visit Shirdi in your Dyan in my thought everyday and in the end of your Shirdi visit you say "SAI.... MUJHE GANU SE DAS GANU BANA DE. Be Das Ganu today and write about my forgotten Devotees said my SAI".
That very day my Sai made me to write and Sai titled my Sai Bhajan as "SAI VACHAN". The next Thursday Sai made me write another Bhajan and I titled as "SAI SE BINTI" I have said in this bhajan "HUM JATE HAI SHIRDI SAI SE KUCH MANGNE, KOI DHAN MANGTA HAI TO KOI AULAD, KOI SWASTH MANGTA HAI TO KOI SHAURAT. AAEYE HUM AAJ JOHLI PASARKAR SAI SE SAI KO MANGE.
SAI VACHAN VIDEO CD AND SAI SE BINTI AUDIO CD ARE RECENTLY RELEASED BY T-SERIES. ASTHA TV CHANNEL LIKED SAI VACHAN BHAJAN VCD SO MUCH THAT THEY AIRED ON THEIR CHANNEL SEVERAL TIMES. SAI DEVOTEES SAY THAT THESE ARE "FIRST EVER SAI BHAJAN SINCE 1918 REMEMBERING FORGOTTEN SAI DEVOTTEES"
The picture I had sent you is the same picture shown in SAI VACHAN VIDEO CD.
THANKS,
OM SAI RAM
SAI BHAKT MANU GIDWANI.

Baba Is The Almighty To Ward Off Any Evils-------
In the face of troubles, everyone will remember the name of God. In times of pleasures, many would forget the same God. Those who remember God not only in sorrow but also in a state of joy need not be scared of hardships. In fact, it is adversity which makes us remember and pray to God. If we have fallen sick and pray to God for relief from the unbearable pain, it means that the disease that caused us to pray to Him is, indeed, a blessing in disguise. Hence, whatever hurdles we face in our day-to-day life should be treated as the grace of God. It must be viewed as the effect of our past sins. As we calmly endure pain and suffering, our sins get atoned and minds purified. God wills that we become purified souls in the fire of sufferings and pains. One day Dr. Pillay, suffering from guinea worms, came to Baba and pleaded Him to free him from the intense pain and suffering. As the pain was unbearable, he even begged Baba to stop the pain and let him suffer his karma spread over ten births. Baba's heart was moved and He willed Abdul, His servant, to step on Dr. Pillay's foot and pressed out all guinea worms and healed him. Whenever we may fall sick, we must know that it is the karmic effect of our past wrong actions and learn to endure pain calmly as if it were a penance. Pleased with our cheerful endurance, the Compassionate Sai ends our sufferings.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 23rd June
Let Trees be our Ideal Teachers-----
Plants and trees which draw sap from the earth, water from the cloud, energy from the wind and sun not only survive for themselves, but they are proving to be of great use to all beings. As long as they live, they serve the society by yielding fruits, flowers, medicinal leaves and bark. Trees supply pure oxygen and offer cool shade. They draw clouds and cause them to rain. They are holding the earth stronger with their roots. So long as they survive, they not only give cool shade to the birds, fodder to the cattle and turn into fuel-wood useful to man.Baba wants us to emulate trees which can set before us ideals and serve as our guides. Thus, He brought several plants from every nook and corner and planted them in the Lendi Garden. He Himself watered the plants everyday. Every act of Baba has a meaning for it and it is a lesson in the art of living for us. We enjoy the fruits of trees that were planted by our ancestors. Likewise, we have to take pains and raise beautiful gardens and orchards for the posterity. If a plant is protected when it is a sapling, it will protect us, in turn, when it grows into a big tree. Trees do not store fruits for themselves. The message they drive home is that even man should not hoard all his earnings. We have to look to trees as our teachers and take them as a model and make use of our earnings for the social upliftment and good.

Harshness is even Justified at Times-----
If we always remember Sai, we cannot behave harshly, since our hearts would be filled with the soft qualities like mercy, love and tolerance. Then, how could we survive in this deceptive world? Our superiors and peers may take a lenient view. Sometimes we may not be able to run the family in a right direction. We should be soft-hearted; but, if need arises, harshness should be made an option.A mystic preached a snake-turned-yogi to be gentle. When the snake was harshly treated by people, the yogi chided the snake and spoke to it as, "I asked you not to bite anyone; but did I ask you not to hiss?" He wanted the snake to pose angry looks. Sometimes a mother, father or teacher might chide a child and their anger is not a mark of hatred, but is only meant for the welfare of the child. Although it appears harsh outside, it is love inside. A master might reprimand the servant, which is not with hate or vengeance. The master's intention is to improve his skill and make him progress in his career. At times, Baba looked angry but then He declared that He would never get angry with His children. It means, the anger is not on His devotees but only on the adverse conditions. With His one shout, sufferings, diseases and problems of His devotees took to heels. The Merciful Baba delights in protecting His devotees.

Chavadi Celebration -------
In Shirdi, after the Samadhi Mandir, the most important sacred place to visit is Chavadi. Baba used to sleep there on alternate days. One day, some devotees sent a palanquin for Baba from Vardha region. Raghuveera Purandhare decorated it with beautiful flowers. But Baba did not agree to mount it. Instead, they kept Baba's wooden footwear in it and took out a procession. Sai, being a kind mother, approved the celebration. The Chavadi celebration is observed on alternate days since 10th December, 1909, without break. Before the great celebration done in the honour of Baba, Abdullah and Radhakrishna Mayee used to clean and wash the streets and adorn them with colorful patterns on the floor. There would be a festive occasion with drums, chorales with hand-drums, torches and lights. Clothes would be spread from the Masjid to the Chavadi. Tatya would hold Baba's hands and make Him get up from His seat. He would honour Baba by covering Him with a gold-embroidered shawl. Baba would get ready for the procession towards the Chavadi with a baton (satka) under His arm-pit and a clay smoking pipe in His hand. Sai Maharaj was escorted in a majestic manner by the devotees and accompanied by His royal horse Shyamakarna. They were fortunate to see that glorious day and let us recall the event, rejoice and be blessed.

Remain With Me Forever, Baba!
Allow me to walk along with You
But oh, how tall are You to my view
I pull Your hand, why don't You bend
I shall put a pathetic face, see, If You won't bend
See, Your height with mine is but equivalent
Into my eyes, yes, You will see, isn't it?
Those looks, in fact, appear very fondly
Resembling the cheer of mother-father jointly.
The feeding hand of mother, the kissing lips of father
Your love enormous is boundless, similar to theirs
Endearing, certainly charming is Your smile
Hereafter, You should stay with me all the while.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 19th June

Only a Purified Mind deserves Entry into Dwarakamayi--
"Sat", means that which exists forever and is in everything and everywhere. Thus, it is the Supreme Soul which remains immortal. Like God who has the power to burn our sins to ashes, even truth, like fire, has such power. Although there are several bad qualities in us, we must make up our mind that "I will not speak falsehood. I always stand for truth". If purifying seeds are dropped into the muddy waters, they will absorb the impurities and purify the water. Likewise, the one virtue of telling the truth will rid humans of all bad qualities. It is the mind that does many bad things than our actions.Though we invite a guest, in the mind we think 'this fellow has come now and might not leave without having food'. Speaking truth is like unlocking the heart and so we should give up bad thoughts. Thus, a good thought gradually increases the right action and determination and removes all the vices from us. Baba resisted the evil-minded from entering Dwarakamayi. He is Omniscient and can read the thoughts of everyone in any corner of the world. However, being the Merciful Father, Baba dispels the evil forces from devotees' hearts, before taking them closer to Him. Siddique Phalke is one such example. If we enthrone truth in our hearts, Baba showers His love.

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 17th June
Only God-Guru's Feet can still our Minds-----
The sensual pleasures, though appear to be heavenly, are in fact, the pits of hell. "If the mind moves towards carnal desires, you draw it back and offer it to Me", so says Baba. If the physical desires are offered at the lotus feet of the Sadguru, the desires will perish on their own. When the mind is aware that the Guru is always beside, it will not behave as it wills. Whenever the physical desires arise, the thought that 'Baba is beside me' will weaken that desire. The practitioner will become ever-vigilant. Then he will attempt to restrain his desires.On seeking shelter at the feet of the God-Guru, on one hand, wisdom blossoms; while on the other, love for the body decreases. Then, one attempts to abide by the words of the Guru. He will treat the problems as tests and offer them at the feet of the Guru. He will never challenge or question 'Maya' or the illusion, but remains a silent spectator. He will trust in Baba with complete faith. A matured devotee will understand the absolute truth that acquiring devotion, wisdom and relinquishing desires are very important. He will realize that the Guru and God are one and therefore renders service to the Guru. Despite, leading a mundane life, he will continue to pray to Baba in his mind. Ultimately, he accepts the truth that it is only at the feet of Sadguru like Sai that one's mind rests in peace.........

Message from the teachings of Sai baba for 16th June
The Believers of Baba are Blessed With Bliss-----
God is the embodiment of love. Even the ever-glowing spirit of light in the hearts of people is a spark of the Divine Spirit. Therefore, people with unique love for God and strong determination will serve the entire multitude of species with love. Baba takes care of every need of those who serve the society as a manifestation of Sai. Not merely fulfilling our desires but keeping an eye on our future, Baba will offer whatever help we need. We have to serve Baba with love, devotion and obedience, but not pretend devotion for selfish gains.Baba is Omnipresent. He can read our minds even before we could speak. Thus, He forbade many pseudo-devotees from climbing the Masjid steps. But devotees with pure heart and love were rescued by Baba even though they were far away. The moment we whole-heartedly cry, 'Baba! You are my everything', that very moment we are enlisted into His family. Then, our family will be secure and peaceful behind the protective shield of Baba. Even such of the families that render service to Baba's devotees with faith in Him are not only put on the right path but their responsibilities are shouldered by Baba. He will even groom their children grow into good citizens. Their families will prosper and live in ever-new joy. If we worship Baba with firm faith and love, He will always protect our families.

The Devotion of God----
To shower His grace on His children, the Compassionate God will reduce His infinite power and imprison Himself in the little frame of the human body made of five elements and live with us. How blessed are we, the individuals, who receive such a glorious opportunity! They are blessed who saw God Sai with their own eyes, touched Him with their hands, heard His words, talked to their heart's content with Him and received the sanctified food served by Baba. When grief wells up in one's mind that one was not alive to be with Baba, Baba appears in one form or the other to His devotees saying "I am with you even now". True devotion is the pre-requisite to get blessed by Baba.Elders say that devotion means service and pure love for God. Mhalsapathy did not ask for any boon from Baba. He felt that he was in Baba's presence always. It is supreme love of a devotee. Mhalsapathy, indeed, experienced unalloyed bliss by Baba's Grace. Though Gadadhara was not literate, he ardently prayed for God-realization. Guru Tothapuri guided him on the right path. Innocent Gadadhara was, thus, transformed into Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Devotion devoid of a steady mind is of no use. If one surrenders to the All-Merciful God in total love and devotion, God Himself will get self-imprisoned in the hearts of such ardent devotees and liberates their fettered souls.
