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 â€“ 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....

Below are a few pictures of the Sai Baba Mandir at Hamdaan road in Ludhiana

An Abode of The Divine Master
In Shirdi village, at the age of sixteen, Sri Sai Baba appeared under a neem tree for His devotees. By that time, He was an enlightened soul and no one knew His parentage and lineage. On one occassion, possessed by the spirit of the deity, Khandoba, two men who were asked by the people gathered there to announce who the great soul underneath the neem tree was. They were commanded to dig with a crow bar under the tree. On so digging up, they found bricks and on removal of which a big stone-like door was sighted. When it was pushed aside, a stair-way led to an underground structure, where on the cemented floor, four wick lamps, beautiful rosaries and a cloth for placing them were seen. God Khandoba announced that the boy did penance there for twelve years. Thereupon, the humble villagers questioned the boy about it and He replied that it was His Guru's abode, a very holy place and, therefore, as in the past, it would be better to close and keep it safe. People did as he said so. The boy, who left Shirdi returned as Sai Baba, hallowed Shirdi for sixty years by His presence and healed, helped and enlightened whoever met Him by His miracles and message of love and service. Baba assured that whoever performs Guru Pooja on Thursday at the abode of His Guru will be blessed of self-liberation.

Pilgrimage To Shirdi
The evil deeds get nullified with charity, righteousness, service, pilgrimage to holy places and mind gets relaxed by visiting the shrines. Therefore, let us undertake pilgrimage to Shirdi and pay respects to our Perfect Master and God-Sai Baba. A work is conceived first in the mind. By the very thought of journeying to Shirdi, our internal journey to Shirdi has begun. When the objective is good, Baba will ensure that our journey to Shirdi is cleared of all hurdles. Baba had several times cautioned His devotees not to visit the shrine by borrowing funds.Our resolve to visit Shirdi implants the seed of happiness in us. The enthusiasm for starting the journey springs up in the mind. The heart prays with respect, saying, "Baba, You have to take me to You". With this, our duty is over. Look! Sainath's grace will take care of every step in our pilgrimage to Shirdi. Money and other things would come from unexpected sources. Some more people will get ready to accompany us. The mind always watches the glory of Sai Nath Maharaj. The tongue keeps singing His name. The ears would be pleased to listen to His songs of praise. But, the eyes impatiently yearn to see the beautiful idol of Baba seated on the throne at Samadhi Mandir in Shirdi. Why the delay now? Let us start for Shirdi. Hail the Supreme Divine Master of all, Shri Sainath Maharaj.

Right Conduct Draws the Blessings of Baba
The unique and marvellous gift for mankind rests only in reaching the permanent abode of God. How many are the fortunate souls who can attain that blessed state? For this purpose, some would render selfless service. Some would make many sacrifices. Yet others spend till their last pie in charity. Only a very few of them will get recognition, name and fame, rewards and honours. Some people cannot reach any noble status in this life nor receive any honours or appreciation. But, one need not repent. The reason behind our deeds may not be known to others, but the Supreme Lord knows everything.God dwells in every place. He can precisely calculate the good and bad deeds of ours. He would give the required result according to the meritorious and evil actions of humans. Even if the world blames or reproaches God-loving people who perform noble actions, ultimately they get the blessings and appreciation of Baba. One may feign to be a virtuous person and get a good name. But he can never deserve the Divine Grace of the All-knowing and All-Seeing Baba. Thus, there is no point in ostentatious activities, and to reach Baba one must obey the Master’s command and render selfless social service. Those who believe in Baba will live in peace, get united with God and experience enduring happiness in the abode of God.

Abundant Wealth is no Match to Baba's Blessings
We sometimes feel confused and conclude in illusion that the riches are wages in return for our good deeds performed in the present or past lives. What we give in return to God is nothing when compared to what God gave to us. Just as a tiny seed sown grows into a mighty tree and yields plenty of fruits, by the Grace of God, so also our little service bears rich fruits of reward for us. It is wrong notion to treat it as our merit. Sai Baba is God who descended to Shirdi to shower His Grace on His children. Baba maintained that one should give more than what one receives, thereby explaining the inner meaning of accepting charity. When we dedicate our perishable body along with the services rendered through it to the glory of Baba, He will bless us feel His Presence which is only a token of God's kindness, but not at all a remuneration of our labour. It is a fact that we become worthy of God's Grace only by the will of All-Merciful Baba. No amount of material riches can equal the blessings of Baba. They cannot be matched with any other gift. Many devotees pray to Baba seeking wealth, health, jobs and so on. In fact, there is no need to pray for our self-liberation. Once we attach ourselves to the Feet of Sai and serve Him in selfless love, we will be showered with His ever-lasting blessings.

Ever-Protecting And All-Blessing Hand of Baba
God raises His Hand of Benediction to all. Images of gods and goddesses we see sport the Hand of Assurance and Protection. Divine Assurance blesses us conquer fear and soothes our sorrows. Baba assures that He will always protect us. When we trust Baba, there will be no fear at all. Only when we err, fear would spring. Fear also comes from ignorance. One may have several hopes and aspirations for his future. By these desires, he becomes anxious and tense. Love for near and dear ones will make us worry over the impending dangers and with that concern we get afraid. Everyone must have complete faith in Baba, rise above pains and pleasures and live without self-concern. There are several occasions when Baba not only protected and saved devotees, who came to Him, from sufferings, but also those who were far away. Baba saved the baby of a devotee, staying somewhere, from falling into a hot furnace, by thrusting His hand into the flames of the fire-place. If we sincerely believe in Baba, He is visible everywhere. How can we commit sin before our Omnipresent Baba? Where is fear when we do not sin? Even if a mistake is committed by oversight, Baba grants us the mental state of His Divine Presence while paying the wages of sin by suffering. That is the kind of assurance Baba gives us.

My Humble pranams to our Shri Sadguru Sainath in Ludhiana

May we all always be like this rose at the sacred feet of our Sai and be blessed forever and ever.

Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu

Gurur Devoh Maheshwar;

Gurur Shakshat Parambramha

Tashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah"

Wealth Multiplies as We Share it With Others
God has provided us with abundant wealth and thereby assigned us the duty of making good use of it. But the wealth given to us is meant for sharing it with others. By hoarding it greedily, it becomes the cause of abject poverty. Baba makes use of us as His instruments to fulfil His nobler ends. The major objective of the Sai Master is to uplift the poor and the helpless. We are only the custodians and trustees of the wealth but not its owners. The wealth Baba gives us is endless. It multiplies upon sharing it with others. If we fail to discharge the duty of a trustee, we may have to lose the wealth gifted to us by the Merciful Baba. By virtue of good past life, some wealthy people are treated as "trustees of wealth" by Baba. However, the possession of wealth does not mean construction of granaries and iron safes to store it with a greedy mind. We should never get enslaved by gross selfishness and greediness when Baba blesses us grow richer and prosperous. Unspent and hoarded wealth may go waste or get lost by theft. Then, nothing remains with us. Therefore, we must give up our ego and greed and donate money for good cause. The Supreme Master, Sai Baba would appreciate our service and increase our fund of wealth by many folds. We must always remember and follow the ideal of Baba set before us, viz. 'The wealth gets multiplied by sharing it with the needy'.
