Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 How to win Sai's love?Though I do everyday pooja ,Sai Sacharitra parayana and His namsmarana still I am not feeling His presence as I used to do in the past.I want His assurance like He used to give me before,there is nothing but silence.Please help. Baba's assurances cover this ,"If you take one step towards Me,I will take ten steps towards you".Baba 's love never stops or changes with situations.He is constantly there with you.Your faith is being tested.Very soon He will assure you in a certain way provided you are honest and steadfast in your prayer.Don't worry over temproary matters.. I feel that smoking is not all that bad.Am I correct?Baba was in the Beyond state whom no material aspect including smoking affected.If he offered Chillum to any one ,he saw to it that it did not adversely affect the person.Rather ,some people got cured of disease as it is mentioned in Shri Satcharitra.Through group Chillum habits, he tried to breakdown the barriers of high,low castes and religions.An ordinary person knowing the hazards of smoking cannot afford to continue because this habit is for his pleasure and does not have a greater social significance.Pray to Baba to get you out. What should be our prayer towards Baba?We should pray to Baba that first of all ,He should free us from the bad actions I.e paap,and the debts generated through many of our past lives.Before we ask for Baba's grace we should say that "O Baba make us worthy of your grace".It is necessary to become worthy of His grace before receiving it, no matter how much one has to suffer for it. Please teach me how to do prayers to Shirdi Sai Baba?Begin by concentrating on His photograph from feet to head and vice versa as Baba has told in Shri Sai Satcharitra.Either pray through your normal language,or Aarti of Baba or through any Mantra you know.What is necessary is a feeling of love towards Him.Silent and concentrated prayer is the best. I very much want to get closer to Baba ,both through prayers and meditation.Although ,things go smoothly at most of the times, Living amidst the worldly situations termed as Maya ,one cannot avoid this situation unless one decides to leave the worldly activities. I am often afflicted by attacks of Maya ,and this repeatedly disheartens me because I feel that all the progress that I have made upto that point is lost.What is the way to be more steadfast in one's principles?If one holds on to Baba always in some form say,taking His name,speaking about Him to others, reading about Him ,thinking about Him etc,the mind gets His support to sustain or develop the inner power to resist the attacks of Maya.More strong the attraction towards Baba develops less strong will be the attraction towards the illusiony worldly aspects. What is the best method of praying?Is it the mental prayer conducted silently before Lord Sai or praying aloud to the Lord?Mental Prayer with concentration is better,in case mind has developed that capacity or otherwise, pray aloud individually or in congregations. What does Shri Sai Baba require of His devotees,does He expect them to sing His Aartis etc or are the Those who remember Him with equanimity both in happiness and sorrow ,thinking Him to be the only refuge in their life will be closer to Him.Keeping devotees like us who keep remembering Him in both happiness and sorrow,are also dear to Him?keep Him in conciousness always by singing Aarti or remembering Him in happiness and sorrow or even while doing any kind of service ,these are all interlinked spontaneosly. While praying I go into a tunnel ,some forces try to stop me while others help me to continue going further. Is it coming from within you,your imagination or having read anywhere about it?If it is coming from within you ,such a tunnel means one is going in the correct path.Analyse your At the end of this tunnel I see bright light.What is the significance of this? mind to find the origin of this thought.Many questions will get answered if we analyse and understand our own thought. disturbances. I want to perform pooja two or three times a day for Baba ,which I was doing till some months back when I was not working?Do not worry if you cannot do formal pooja .If a small pooja before going out and before sleep is done it is fine.You can even do mental pooja. I want Baba to be in each and every activity of mine?Though at the back of mind He is always there but still I 'm not satisfied,I want to do much more.I am working married woman through concentration.Constant and loving rememberance of Baba through whatever support system is the best path.Read Sai Satcharitra regularly. and remain at work most of the times. How do I manage my time for Baba's worship?It is said that all prayers reach Baba and Sadgurus.Many times in my life Baba listened to my prayers instantly and has been helping me in various forms.Though I firmly believe that all my prayers and feelings reach Baba and Guru,sometimes I feel like having a feedback whether God and my Guru received my prayers. How do I know their response?All prayers even the unspoken ones,the moment they are thought reach Baba instantly.Continue to remember Him and pray to Him.Be patient and pray Him continuously.You will get what you call 'feedback' in some manner some day.Thousands of devotees of Baba experience Baba's grace. May I know the meaning of 'OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI'?'Hail Sai,Oh Sai ,Let you be there always!' May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our families and remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and happiness with peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366 Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search.
