I will be with you, the moment you think of me, at any place.

only. They get their heart's desire fulfilled; and comfortably placed in life,

They then follow me and progress further. I bring my men to me from long

distances under many pleas. I seek them and bring them to me. They do not come

(of their own accord). I bring them to me. However distance – even thousands of

miles away- my people might be, I draw them to myself, just as we pull bird to

us with a string tied to their foot.

justify">FEARS AND PROBLEMS The most admirable charters of Sai Baba is "Why do

you fear, when I am here!" This itself is an answer to us for the success of

our life. It is universal phenomenon that a success cannot be achieved without

overcoming troubles. The art of facing trouble and converting them in to

success is easy to all Sai devotees and methodology is clearly explained in Sri

Sai Satsaritram.

according to our materialistic ambitions. If your ambitions are totally

controlled by `Maya' then your struggle in the life is unending. The so called

modern needs of life, such as prestigious profession, overflowing pay and

perks, luxurious shelter, beautiful wife, handsome husband, genius children,

reliable relations, confidential friends etc, Do you think these are the things

that will provide you real pleasures in your life? Be honest in your judgment

with practical current situations.

10pt">If you are very sincere in your judgment, the answer will be a big `no'.

Your neighbor in a rented house, earning meager salary in a private commercial

establishment, children studying in government school is happier than you. Your

countless problems on taxes, falling profits, inability to meet business target,

ever increasing household and business expenditures, disturbed sleepless nights,

misunderstanding with wife, careless children. etc. etc. is a partial list.

Despite with all these odds, if you are peaceful and happy that is because of

your faith on Sri Sai Baba and leading life as per His teachings. Baba declared

that he had come to give blessings

to people, temporal and spiritual wealth, and that He draws them under various

pretexts. In this world, material aims and objects cannot be ignored and man

cannot be blamed if worldly prosperity is one of the main motives of their

devotion to God. This fact has been recognized not merely by Saibaba, but by

Lord Krishna Himself. Chaturvidha Bhajante Mam Janah sucrutino Arjuna Aartho

Jijnasuh Artharthi Jnani cha bharatarshabha. This means, `Four sorts of men are

drawn to Me. They are all blessed. They are a) the distressed, b) those seeking

knowledge, c) those wanting worldly objects and d) the man of perfect wisdom.

The distressed people are the largest number in the world and it is not

surprising that they were the earliest to approach Baba. Persons are

indifferent to God and Saints, so long as they are well off. But once

they feel helpless and seek the aid of a Higher Power. When distress enters,

all fancied obstacles of inability to understand, doubt and carping fly and

leave the man with a ready receptive heart and make him rush to the one who he

believes – and his distress makes him believe- to be gifted with power to

redress. Distress rouses hope and faith and these work wonder of turning a

skeptic into a believer. This has proved thousands of times and it is true all

times. Baba's message to His distressed devotees " Cast off your anxiety, your

sufferings

have come to an end. However, oppressed and troubled one may be, as soon as he

steps in the Masjid, he is on the pathway to happiness" (Sri Sai Satsaritram

Ch. xiii). Hence Sai Baba of Shirdi is our savior and protector,- why fear,

when He is always with us. PRAYER Prayer is the greatest power available

to the individual and the benefits of prayer power are astonishing. To discover

amazing power of prayer, the following are ten rules outlined by Norman Vincent

Peale: 1. Set aside a few minutes every day. Do not say anything, Simply

practice thinking about God. This will make your mind spiritually receptive. 2.

Then pray orally, using simple, natural words. Tell God anything that is on your

mind. Do not think you must use stereotyped pious phrases. Talk to God in your

own language, He understands

it. 3. Pray as you go about the business of the day, on the subway, or bus or at

your desk. Utilize minute prayers by closing your eyes to shut out the world and

concentrating briefly on God's presence. The more you do this every day the

nearer you will feel God's presence. 4. Do not always ask when you pray, but

instead affirm that God's blessings are being given, and spend most of your

prayers giving thanks.

justify">5. Pray with the belief that sincere prayers can reach out and surround

your loved ones with God's love and protection. 6. Never use negative thoughts

in prayer. Only positive thoughts get result. 7. Always express willingness to

accept God's will. Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives

you. It may be better than what you ask for. 8. Practice the attitude of putting

everything in God's hand. Ask for the ability to do your best and to leave the

results confidently to God. 9. Pray for people you do not like or who have

mistreated you. Resentment is blockade number one of spiritual power. 10. Make

a list of people for whom to pray. The more you pray for the other people,

especially those not connected with you, the more prayer results will come back

to you. "vasukimahal_saibaba" vasukimahal_saibaba Sai Service
