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. Immediately he summoned Kakasaheb Dikshit, Pradhan, Dhabolkar and performed worship in the temple of Samadhi and distributed food to everyone. They spent the entire day in singing devotional songs in praise of Baba. Right from the day of His Samadhi, Baba has been carrying on His Mission of appearing in dreams of devotees, healing and solacing them and turning many an atheist to look to Him.Behind every noble deed of Sai Baba, the sole objective was to promote universal good but not projecting His glory. Baba declared that He would roam around the Universe without a form or attribute. 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".

Sai baba's Miracle in Aruba ::Shared by Sai devotee Dhanesh Ahuja
This happened two years ago on a Ganpati Visarjan here in Aruba (Dutch Caribbean) where I live with my wife and son. Over here the Arubian roads are not very hard roads. There is always some kind of sand on the road and there are lots of accidents every week.
My son Aditya did¡¦nt know how to swim in those days. After lots of persuasion from my wife and son, we went for the Ganpati Visarjan to the beach where this small function is done by group of Indians here in Aruba every year. My wife and I got busy in the final aarti done before Visarjan. I had warned my son not to go into the water, but after few minutes we heard a commotion and saw somebody from the group was holding my son¡¦s hand and bringing him out of the water.
We were told by the group that my son was almost drowning since he had gone little bit far and had shouted for help. I prayed to God and at the same time was very angry. We immediately left from there. My wife and son were sitting next to me in the front passenger seat. I was in a horrible angry mood and I was scolding my son and talking to him with my face turned towards him and at the same time I was driving at speed.
Suddenly I saw a roundabout right in front of me and had to brake very hard. The car hit the cemented roundabout and turned to the right side towards the sandy off road and stopped right in front a huge rock. If we had hit the rock we would have had a really horrible accident. Everybody was in a state of shock. I checked on my wife and son. We all were perfectly fine. Normally in this kind of accident I have heard from many people that it is possible to smash the head and nose. We had a very luck escape and the only effect was that the front right hand side wheel (tyre and rim ) had broken. Even this was fixed by the insurance company.
"Ek baal bhi banka nahin hone diya Sai ne". I always have a small marble Sai murti installed on the dashboard of my car which I had got from Shirdi when I had gone for vacation in 2003. I had put a small nice dress on it. So only the face of Sai was visible and not the entire body seated on His royal rock throne.
One month after this incident I was cleaning my car and thought of changing the dress of my Sai Baba on the dashboard. As soon as I took the dress out I saw Sai's leg was completely broken, but He was sitting in his perfect posture and looking at me as if to say (as quoted from Sai Satcharitra) So saying, He lifted up His Kafni up to the waist and showed to all present, four fully developed buboes, as big as eggs, and added, See, how I have to suffer for My devotees; their difficulties are Mine.¡¦ Seeing this unique and extraordinary deed (Leela), the people were convinced as to how the Saints suffer pains for their devotees. The mind of the saints is softer than wax, it is soft, in and out, as butter. They love their devotees without any idea of gain, and regard them as their true relatives.
"I get goose pimples when I think of that incident; my eyes become watery remembering what my Sai did for me. Oh Baba what would I do without you. I am zero. I am nothing. You are the one; You are mine; You are everybody's.
My Baba took this on Himself for me and He is still doing this in all corners of the world for His countless devotees who regard Him as their own.
Om Sai Shree Sai Jai Jai Sai. I Love My Sai Baba , My Sai Baba Loves All.

Life is Worth Living with Baba's Nectarine Love

When all machines are at work, the different components in them may grate with each other and cause friction. With this friction, heat and fire are generated and parts of the machines may be at risk. On oiling the noisy parts of the machines, they will run very smoothly. This is the case of machines invented by man. The human body, a marvellous machine created by God, has hundreds of vital components which are subject to friction, fatigue and tensions.Just like the body, we have to cleanse the mind and soul with the pure water of Baba's message. We have to overhaul our body-mind machine with the oil of Baba's nectarine love. Otherwise, the human machine may become obsolete and lack the purpose of life. But, if we are blessed with the Divine Love of Baba, with renewed joy, our mind will race for the realization of God. Our body, mind, heart and words will not feel any pressure and life would run in a freer and smoother manner. As there is no undue pressure, every work undertaken would be smoothly done unhindered. By this, the strength and efficiency of a person would increase. With energized minds, we shall live happily, loving, supporting and serving our fellow beings. Let us pray to Baba to fill every cell in our body with His healing love and bless us live in His love-light, selflessly serving all as Sai

Short Stories with Great Morals:::
The Curse of Mittavinda
Greed
To read Part 1 go to
http://debu7370.blogspot.com/2010/05/shri-shirdi-sai-speaks-29th-mayshort.html
Little did poor Mittavinda know that his lives of constant hunger were about to come to an end. After wandering about, he eventually ended up in Benares.
At that time the Enlightenment Being was living the life of a world famous teacher in Benares. He had 500 students. As an act of charity, the people of the city supported these poor students with food. They also paid the teacher's fees for teaching them.
Mittavinda was permitted to join them. He began studying under the great teacher. And at last, he began eating regularly.
But he paid no attention to the teachings of the wise master. He was disobedient and violent. During 500 lives as a hungry dog, quarrelling had become a habit. So he constantly got into fist fights with the other students.
It became so bad that many of the students quit. The income of the world famous teacher dwindled down to almost nothing. Because of all his fighting, Mittavinda was finally forced to run away from Benares.
He found his way to a small remote village. He lived there as a hard working laborer, married a very poor woman. and had two children.
It became known that he had studied under the world famous teacher of Benares. So the poor villagers selected him to give advice when questions arose. They provided a place for him to live near the entrance to the village. And they began following his advice.
But things did not go well. The village was fined seven times by the king. Seven times their houses were burned. And seven times the town pond dried up.
They realized that all their troubles began when they started taking Mittavinda's advice. So they chased him and his family out of the village. They shouted, 'Be gone forever! You are nothing but a curse!"
While they were fleeing, they went through a haunted forest. Demons came out of the shadows and killed and ate his wife and children. But Mittavinda escaped.
'He made his way to a seaport city. He was lonely, miserable and penniless. It just so happened that there was a kind generous rich merchant living in the city. He heard the story of Mittavinda's misfortunes. Since they had no children of their own, he and his wife adopted Mittavinda. For better or worse they treated him exactly as their own son.
His new mother and father were very religious. They always tried to do wholesome things. But Mittavinda still had not learned his lesson. He did not accept any religion, so he often did unwholesome things.
Some time after his father's death, his mother decided to try and help him enter the religious life. She said, "There is this world and there is the one to come. If you do bad things, you will suffer painful results in both worlds."
But foolish Mittavinda replied, "I will do whatever I enjoy doing and become happier and happier. There is no point considering whether what I do is wholesome or unwholesome. I don't care about such things!"
On the next full moon holy day, Mittavinda's mother advised him to go to the temple and listen all night long to the wise words of the monks. He said. "I wouldn't waste my time!" So she said, "When you return I will give you a thousand gold coins."
Mittavinda thought that with enough money he could enjoy himself constantly and be happy all the time. So he went to the temple. But he sat in a. corner, paid no attention. and fell asleep for the night. Early the next morning he went home to collect his reward.
Meanwhile his mother thought he would appreciate wise teachings. Then he would bring the oldest monk home with him. So she prepared delicious food for the expected guest. When she saw him returning alone, she said, "Oh my son, why didn't you ask the senior monk to come home with you for breakfast?"
He said, "I did not go to the temple to listen to a monk or to bring him home with me. I went only to get your thousand gold coins!" His disappointed mother said, Never mind the money. Since there is so much delicious food prepared - only eat and sleep!" He replied, "Until you give me the money I refuse to eat!" So she gave him the thousand gold coins. Only then did he gobble up the food until all he could do was fall asleep.
Mittavinda did not think a thousand gold coins were enough for him to constantly enjoy himself. So he used the money to start a business, and before long he became very rich. One day he came home and said, "Mother, I now have 120,000 gold coins. But I am not yet satisfied. Therefore I will go abroad on the next ship and make even more money!"
She replied, "Oh my son, why do you want to go abroad? The ocean is dangerous and it is very risky doing business in a strange land. I have 80,000 gold coins right here in the house. That is enough for you. Please don't go, my only son!"
Then she held him to keep him from leaving. But Mittavinda was crazy with greed. So he pushed his mother's hand away and slapped her face. She fell to the floor. She was so hurt and shocked that she yelled at him, "Be gone forever! You are nothing but a curse!"
Without looking back, Mittavinda rushed to the harbor and set sail on the first departing ship.
After seven days on the Indian Ocean, all the winds and currents stopped completely. The ship was stuck! After being dead in the water for seven days, all on board were terrified they would die.
So they drew straws to find out who was the cause of their bad luck and frightening misfortune. Seven times the short straw was drawn by Mittavinda!
They forced. him onto a tiny bamboo raft, and set him adrift on the open seas. They shouted, "Be gone forever! You are nothing but a curse!" And suddenly a strong wind sent the ship on its way.
But once again Mittavinda's life was spared. This was a result of his wholesome actions as a monk, so many births ago. No matter how long it takes, actions cause results.
Sometimes an action causes more than one result, some pleasant and some unpleasant. It is said there are Asuras who live through such mixed results in an unusual way.
Asuras are unfortunate ugly gods. Some of them are lucky enough to change their form into beautiful young dancing girl goddesses. These are called Apsaras.
They enjoy the greatest pleasures for seven days. But then they must go to a hell world and suffer torments as hungry ghosts for seven days. Again they become Apsara goddesses - back and forth, back and forth - until both kinds of results are finished.
While floating on the tiny bamboo raft, it just so happened that Mittavinda came to a lovely Glass Palace. There he met four very pretty Apsaras. They enjoyed their time together, filled with heavenly pleasures, for seven days.
Then. when it was time for the goddesses to become hungry ghosts, they said to Mittavinda, "Wait for us just seven short days, and we will return and continue our pleasure."
The Glass Palace and the four Apsaras disappeared. But still Mittavinda had not regained the peace of mind thrown away by the village monk, so very long ago. Seven days of pleasure had not satisfied him. He could not wait for the lovely goddesses to return. He wanted more and more. So he continued on. in the little bamboo raft.
Lo and behold, he came to a shining Silver Palace, with eight Apsara goddesses living there. Again he enjoyed seven days of the greatest pleasure. These Apsaras also asked him to wait the next seven days, and disappeared into a hell world.
Amazing as it may seem, the greedy Mittavinda went on to seven days of pleasure in a sparkling Jewel Palace with 16 Apsaras. But they too disappeared. Then he spent seven days in a glowing Golden Palace with 32 of the most beautiful Apsaras of all.
But still he was not satisfied! When all 32 asked him to wait seven days, again he departed on the raft.
Before long he came to the entrance of a hell world filled with suffering tortured beings. They were living through the results of their own actions. But his desire for more pleasure was so strong that Mittavinda thought he saw a beautiful city surrounded by a wall with four fabulous gates. He thought, "I will go inside and make myself king!"
After he entered, he saw one of the victims of this hell world. He had a collar around his neck that spun like a wheel, with five sharp blades cutting into his face, head, chest and back. But Mittavinda was still so greedy for pleasure that he could not see the pain right before his eyes. Instead he saw the spinning collar of cutting blades as if it were a lovely lotus blossom. He saw the dripping blood as if it were the red powder of perfumed sandal wood. And the screams of pain from the poor victim sounded like the sweetest of songs!
He said to the poor man, "You've had that lovely lotus crown long enough! Give it to me, for I deserve to wear it now." The condemned man warned him, "This is a cutting collar, a wheel of blades." But Mittavinda said, "You only say that because you don't want to give it up."
The victim thought, "At last the results of my past unwholesome deeds must be completed. Like me, this poor fool must be here for striking his mother. I will give him the wheel of pain." So he said, "Since you want it so badly, take the lotus crown!"
With these words the wheel of blades spun off the former victim's neck and began spinning around the head of Mittavinda. And suddenly all his illusions disappeared - he knew this was no beautiful city, but a terrible hell world; he knew this was no lotus crown, but a cutting wheel of blades; and he knew he was not king, but prisoner. Groaning in pain he cried out desperately, "Take back your wheel! Take back your wheel!" But the other one had disappeared.
Just then the king of the gods arrived for a teaching visit to the hell world. Mittavinda asked him. "Oh king of gods, what have I done to deserve this torment?" The god replied, "Refusing to listen to the words of monks, you obtained no wisdom, but only money. A thousand gold coins did not satisfy you, nor even 120,000. Blinded by greed, you struck your mother on your way to grabbing greater wealth still.
"Then the pleasure of four Apsaras in their Glass Palace did not satisfy you. Neither eight Apsaras in a Silver Palace, nor 16 in a Jewel Palace. Not even the pleasure of 32 lovely goddesses in a Golden Palace was enough for you! Blinded by greed for pleasure you wished to be king. Now, at last, you see your crown is only a wheel of torture, and your kingdom is a hell world.
"Learn this, Mittavinda - all who follow their greed wherever it leads are left unsatisfied. For it is in the nature of greed to be dissatisfied with what one has, whether a little or a lot. The more obtained, the more desired - until the circle of greed becomes the circle of pain."
Having said this, the god returned to his heaven world home. At the same time the wheel crashed down on Mittavinda. With his head spinning in pain, he found himself adrift on the tiny bamboo raft.
Soon he came to an island inhabited by a powerful she-devil. She happened to be disguised as a goat. Being hungry, Mittavinda thought nothing of grabbing the goat by a hind leg. And the she-devil hiding inside kicked him way up into the air. He finally landed in a thorn bush on the outskirts of Benares!
After he untangled himself from the thorns, he saw some goats grazing nearby. He wanted very badly to return to the palaces and the dancing girl Apsaras. Remembering that a goat had kicked him here, he grabbed the leg of one of these goats. He hoped it would kick him back to the island.
Instead, this goat only cried out. The shepherds came, and captured Mittavinda for trying to steal one of the king's goats.
As he was being taken as a prisoner to the king, they passed by the world famous teacher of Benares. Immediately he recognized his student. He asked the shepherds, "Where are you taking this man?"
They said, "He is a goat thief! We are taking him to the king for punishment!" The teacher said, "Please don't do so. He is one of my students. Release him to me, so he can be a servant in my school." They agreed and left him there.
The teacher asked Mittavinda, "What has happened to you since you left me?"
He told the story of being first respected. and then cursed, by the people of the remote village. He told of getting married and having two children, only to see them killed and eaten by demons in the haunted forest. He told of slapping his generous mother when he was crazy with the greed for money. He told of being cursed by his shipmates and being cast adrift on a bamboo raft. He told of the four palaces with their beautiful goddesses, and how each time his pleasure ended he was left unsatisfied. He told of the cutting wheel of torture, the reward for the greedy in hell. And he told of his hunger for goat meat. that only got him kicked back to Benares without even a bite to eat!
The world famous teacher said, "It is clear that your past actions have caused both unpleasant and pleasant results, and that both are eventually completed. But you cannot understand that pleasures always come to an end. Instead, you let them feed your greed for more and more. You are left exhausted and unsatisfied. madly grasping at goat legs! Calm down, my friend. And know that trying to hold water in a tight fist, will always leave you thirsty!"
Hearing this, Mittavinda bowed respectfully to the great teacher. He begged to be allowed to follow him as a student. The Enlightenment Being welcomed him with open arms.
The moral is: In peace of mind, there is neither loss nor gain.
May Sai give us enough wisdom and strength to save our selves from the clutches of Jealusy , greed and all the other negative energies which are tempting but they lead us away from God and close to the path of misery and pain.
Not My Will, Your Will, Baba!
Never boast of your genius and greatness if you achieve what you aspired for. Do feel that it could so happen only by the power of the Divine Will. Suppose it happens against your wish, do not regret that you are denied of God's grace. It is not good to complain against God. Baba has given you the power of discretion and free will to understand Him. But, He alone is aware of what you deserve best. The right thing is to pray to Him with an earnest heart and He will reveal what is good for you. It would be difficult on your own to get rid of the selfish feelings of "I", "me" or attachment and pride. You need the Divine Support of Baba. Only then can your ego-erased mind can become pure. You will know God's Will when you love Baba.With the sword of detachment gifted by Baba, if you can slay the six internal enemies, viz, lust, anger, greed, pride, attachment and envy, His true form would get unfolded before your eyes. He blesses you with the light of wisdom and the will to render more social services. Only then would the light of wisdom glows in us. With a grateful heart, let us follow the Divine Love of Sai Light which leads us on the path of victory. We are not alone. Baba is always with us. And He will guide us in every step we take. Our life's journey will be smoother and happier if we walk in the foot-steps of Baba.

Short Stories with Great Morals::
The Curse of Mittavinda :::Chapter -1
Jealousy
Once upon a time, there was a monk who lived in a tiny monastery in a little village. He was very fortunate that the village rich man supported him in the monastery. He never had to worry about the cares of the world. His alms food was always provided automatically by the rich man.
So the monk was calm and peaceful in his mind. There was no fear of losing his comfort and his daily food. There was no desire for greater comforts and pleasures of the world. Instead, he was free to practice the correct conduct of a monk, always trying to eliminate his faults and do only wholesome deeds. But he didn't know just how lucky he was!
One day an elder monk arrived in the little village. He had followed the path of Truth until he had become perfect and faultless.
When the village rich man saw this unknown monk, he was very pleased by his gentle manner and his calm attitude. So he invited him into his home. He gave him food to eat, and he thought himself very fortunate to hear a short teaching from him. He then invited him to take shelter at the village monastery. He said, "I will visit you there this evening, to make sure all is well."
When the perfect monk arrived at the monastery, he met the village monk. They greeted each other pleasantly. Then the village monk asked, "Have you had your lunch today?" The other replied, "Yes, I was given lunch by the supporter of this monastery. He also invited me to take shelter here."
The village monk took him to a room and left him there. The perfect monk passed his time in meditation.
Later that evening, the village rich man came. He brought fruit drinks, flowers and lamp oil, in honor of the visiting holy man. He asked the village monk, "Where is our guest?" He told him what room he had given him.
The man went to the room, bowed respectfully, and greeted the perfect monk. Again he appreciated hearing the way of Truth as taught by the rare faultless one.
Afterwards, as evening approached, he lit the lamps and offered the flowers at the monastery's lovely temple shrine. He invited both monks to lunch at his home the next day. Then he left and returned home.
In the evening, a terrible thing happened. The village monk, who had been so contented, allowed the poison of jealousy to creep into his mind. He thought, "The village rich man has made it easy for me here. He provides shelter each night and fills my belly once a day.
"But I'm afraid this will change because he respects this new monk so highly. If he remains in this monastery, my supporter may stop caring for me. Therefore, I must make sure the new monk does not stay."
Thinking in this way, he lost his former mental calm. His mind became disturbed due to his jealousy - the fear of losing his comfort and his daily food. This led to the added mental pain of resentment against the perfect monk. He began plotting and scheming to get rid of him.

Late that night, as was the custom, the monks met together to end the day. The perfect monk spoke in his usual friendly way, but the village monk would not speak to him at all.
So the wise monk understood that he was jealous and resentful. He thought, 'This monk does not understand my freedom from attachment to families, people and comforts. I am free of any desire to remain here. I am also free of any desire to leave here. It makes no difference. It is sad this other one cannot understand non-attachment. I pity him for the price he must pay for his ignorance."
He returned to his room, closed the door. and meditated in a high mental state throughout the night.
The next day, when it was time to go collect alms food from the supporter of the monastery, the village monk rang the temple gong. But he rang it by tapping it lightly with his finger nail. Even the birds in the temple courtyard could not hear the tiny sound.
Then he went to the visiting monk's room and knocked on the door. But again he only tapped lightly with his finger nail. Even the little mice inside the walls could not hear the silent tapping.

Having done his courteous duty in such a tricky way, he went to the rich man's home. The man bowed respectfully to the monk, took his alms bowl. and asked, "Where is the new monk, our visitor?"
The village monk replied, "I have not seen him. I rang the gong, I knocked at his door, but he did not appear. Perhaps he was not used to such rich food as you gave him yesterday. Perhaps he is still asleep, busily digesting it, dreaming of his next feast! Perhaps this is the kind of monk who pleases you so much!"
Meanwhile, back at the monastery, the perfect monk awoke. He cleaned himself and put on his robe. Then he calmly departed to collect alms food wherever he happened to find it.

The rich man fed the village monk the richest of food. It was delicious and sweet, made from rice, milk, butter. sugar and honey. When the monk had eaten his fill. the man took his bowl, scrubbed it clean, and sweetened it with perfumed water. He filled it up again with the same wonderful food. He gave it back to the monk, saying, ''Honorable monk, our holy visitor must be worn out from travelling. Please take my humble alms food to him." Saying nothing, he accepted the generous gift for the other.
By now the village monk's mind was trapped by its own jealous scheming. He thought, "If that other monk eats this fantastic meal, even if I grabbed him by the throat and kicked him out, he still would never leave! I must secretly get rid of this alms food. But if I give it to a stranger, it will become known and talked about. If I throw it away in a pond, the butter will float. on the surface and be discovered. If I throw it away on the ground, crows will come from miles around to feast on it, and that too would be noticed. So how can I get rid of it?"
Then he saw a field that had just been burned by farmers to enrich the soil. It was covered with hot glowing coals. So he threw the rich man's generous gift on the coals. The alms food burned up without a trace. And with it went his peace of mind!

For, when he got back to the monastery, he found the visitor gone. He thought, "This must have been a perfectly wise monk. He must have known I was jealous afraid of losing my favored position. He must have known I resented him and tried to trick him into leaving. I wasted alms food meant for him. And all for the sake of keeping my own belly full! I'm afraid something terrible will happen to me! What have I done?" So, afraid of losing his easy daily food, he had thrown away his peace of mind.
For the rest of his life the rich man continued to support him. But his mind was filled with torment and suffering. He felt doomed like a walking starving zombie, or a living hungry ghost.

When he died, his torment continued. For he was reborn in a hell world, where he suffered for hundreds of thousands of years.
Finally, there too he died, as all beings must. But the results of his past actions were only partly completed. So he was reborn as a demon, 500 times! In those 500 lives, there was only one day when he got enough to eat, and that was a meal of afterbirth dropped by a deer in the forest!
Then he was reborn as a starving stray dog another 500 times!

For the sake of a full monk's belly in a past life, all these 500 lives were also filled with hunger, and quarrelling over food. Only a single time did he get enough to eat, and that was a meal of vomit he found in a gutter!
Finally most of the results of his actions were finished. Only then was he so very fortunate enough to be reborn as a human being. He was born into the poorest of the poor beggar families of the city of Kasi, in northern India. He was given the name, Mittavinda.

From the moment of his birth, this poor family became even more poor and miserable. After a few years, the pain of hunger became so great, that his parents beat him and chased Mittavinda away for good. They shouted, "Be gone forever! You are nothing but a curse!"
Poor Mittavinda! So very long ago he had not known how lucky he was. He was contented as a humble village monk. But he allowed the poison of jealousy to enter his mind - the fear of losing his easy daily food. This led to the self-torture of resentment against a perfect monk, and to trickery in denying him one wholesome gift of alms food. And it took a thousand and one lives for the loss of his comfort and daily food to be completed. What he had feared, his own actions had brought to pass!
WILL CONTINUE THIS STORY TOMMORROW..

Its a must read and it has lots for us to learn..

Fill the Spirit of Humanity in Your Personality

God created several creatures. He endowed every specie with distinct characteristics, habits, needs, rights and duties. When we hear the word 'cow', it strikes our mind as a domestic animal. The four legs and its form are its physical features, while giving milk and being docile are its natural qualities. Among the infinite variety of species, a human being is the crown of creation with a discriminating intellect. Along with the two hands and two feet, God gifted us with the weapon of 'intellect'. The quality we must have towards other species of the world is kindness. Love and friendship thrive in the heart of compassion. Doing good to others is a natural corollary of it. We must love to share with others what we have, in a spirit of intimate love and sacrifice.The quality of mercy we have in our mind, thought and intellect motivates us to work for the welfare of the humans and all beings. It is our wealth of character. It is not a sin to tell a lie to save the life of an innocent person. Scriptures say that it is an offence if harm is deliberately done to one by telling the truth about him. How can we be treated as human beings if our hearts are filled with rank selfishness and hatred? Let us pay heed to what Baba said and see Baba in all. Baba hugs to His heart the honest, the compassionate and the upright ones.

Peace of Mind
A thinking mind is, perhaps, the greatest boon gifted to mankind by God. Because of this, the wealth of knowledge, denied to other species, is enjoyed only by the humans. The mind is very fickle. The root cause of either good or bad qualities lies in the mind. This causes many troubles. Yet, it is the mind which is the cause of supreme peace and serenity. God has shown the appropriate method to mankind to keep the mind steady and calm. The five sense organs that influence the mind are under the control of the intellect. But man never listens to his intellect. He runs after the fickle mind that flies like a butterfly. Man can pull himself from the tangle of temptations if he can overcome the spell of the mind and put it under his control. The path of devotion is the best means to discipline the fickle mind and a means to keep it stable and serene. God will not directly help us. God, either in the form of a Perfect Master or through His words of wisdom would come to our rescue. For this very reason, Baba descended to the Earth and shown the easy path through his simple teachings which ensure our peace of mind. None other than Baba, the World-Teacher, can pull out the entire humanity from the illusions created by the human mind. If we totally surrender to Baba, the nectarine fruit of 'peace' can be obtained.

Miracle on 12th May 2010:::
The below email was sent to me by a Sai devotee...
Namastay Deepa Di,

How are you? May SAI MAA always keep you happy this is my true heart`s pray for you. I am Radhika. I wanted to share one of my experience with you. My aunty was very much tensed because she had lost her job six months ago and she used to be at home. She used to always think about her previous job and used to cry. I am a staunch devotee of SAI MAA and prayed with full heart and soul for her and house happiness. It was 12th May 2010 and the day was Thursday and as my SAI Nav Varth are going on, so like every Thursday I did my pooja and opened my varth. Suddenly my aunty came and sat next to me and was telling me that I don’t know when I will get a new job and when these bad days will get over. Suddenly something clicked and my mind started recalling chapter 36 in Sai Satcharitra about udi and I told her can you see those agarbatis burning and the ashes which are falling from it she said yes then I told her to go next to Sai Ram`s photo and apply that udi on forehead and pray in your heart that Baba I am applying udi on my forehead assuming that this udi will work on that lady named Farida for whom my aunty used to work. She prayed the same and applied udi. And by grace of SAI MAA, the same day at 11’o’ clock in the night my mobile was ringing and I was surprised to see Farida calling on my moble. My joy new no bounds. She said that I want to talk to your aunty. I gave the mobile to aunty she was very excited and overwhelmed. She told her to come next day that is on Friday at 4’o’clock in the evening. She went and they both discussed about the salary and aunty met me at my job and told me that SAI has fulfilled my wish. I thanked SAI MAA at the same time. Udi`s miracle is also mentioned in Sai Satcharitra chapter 36 and the same miracle happened with my aunty. Koti Koti pranam to my SAI MAA. I just want to give a small message to all SAI devotees to keep Sharadha and Saburi and keep udi in use for any problems any difficulties because it’s a gift from SAI MAA for all of us. I give a 100% guarantee it works as it worked with my aunty and with me also many times because we all have full sharadha on SAI RAM. SAI MAA please shower your blessings on my Family including my mummy daddy my sister, my aunty, my nani, my friends, Deepa Di and every one in this world.

Jai SAI RAM

Baba Enlightens and Uplifts us

Despite having many children, a father would particularly worry as to how to mend the perverse behaviour of his child. He struggles to set his child's bad conduct right. God, being our father, is more concerned about His errant children. God would not mind the devotees who live uprightly ...and abide by His word. He would always think of those who strayed from Him and corrupted by bad conduct. He will not desert them. He compels them to realize how mean and wretched is the path they tread. He would open their eyes in a flick of a second. The moment reminds one of the great speed with which a man is sucked into the quick-sand and, in similar manner, God pulls out a man from the mire of down-fall and makes him behave in a righteous way. Have not the bandit Valmiki and the perverse Ajamila came to the presence of God? So, we need not sit down and worry that we could not meditate on God all these days. If we call "Sai", He will answer us 'yes' and will rescue us in one form or the other. His name is very pleasing to chant and hear. Life becomes a festive celebration. Baba clearly explained to a miserly rich devotee about the knowledge of the Self. Baba's discourse was a feast to the minds of all the listeners. The eyes of the rich miser were opened by the light of wisdom Baba shed on him.

Conscience within us is Baba's Form
Every human being has the intellect which discriminates between what is good and bad. Irrespective of the individual's nationality, ethnicity and religion, this innate quality exists in all by birth. This power of discrimination is not found in the animals. This is the major difference between man and beast. The quality of discrimination is otherwise known as 'conscience'. Conscience is the seat of God. Whenever evil thoughts crop up in the mind, conscience, which is the voice of God, will caution us of the wrong doing. Although we know we are erring, at times, we turn a deaf ear to our inner voice. We even attempt to suppress it. As we go farther away, the voice of conscience is not audible to us. We will not be able to hear it. Baba granted us intellect to discriminate between the right and wrong and also wisdom to recognize good and bad. He will keep watching us as to what extent we make use of such knowledge. We must try to be true to our conscience whether our actions are intentional or otherwise. We have to move on the right path. If not, we alone will land in trouble if we do not listen to the voice of conscience and act accordingly. When Baba exists in every particle of the Universe, attempts to hoodwink Him will be like deceiving ourselves. Hence, we should pray to Baba to give us courage to abide by the voice of conscience.
