FOUNDATION STONES FOR THE SPIRITUAL LIFE: >From the Satsanghs of Saibanisa ji http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm Sai Sevak Smt. Rajeswari Kasturi, Saidarbar – Hyderabad. 250. Cows of different colors give the same milk which is of white color. Similarly pots of various sizes and shapes are made out of the same basic material clay. So life everywhere is divine, due to God alone. 251. You should know that the human life, the friendship with good people and the blessings of God can be obtained only by those who are on the divine path. 252. You will get Punar janma (Re birth) as per the good deeds of present Janma and not by any mantras that are chanted. 253. A wise man will never aspire for the things which are beyond his reach and remains contented with the things available with him. 254. The scorpion will have poison in its tail and a Honey bee will have poison in its head, the snake will have poison in its fangs but unfortunately a human being with a bad character will have poison in the entire body. 255. As the age advances, you will lose your hair, teeth and functioning of eyes and ears will be diminishing. But even at this stage also the only thing that will not be reduced is the hope for survival. 256. You should know that growth beyond a proportion is only to break, rise will be followed by a fall and all people uniting at one place for a cause are only to disperse, so also death follows life. 257. When you see an elephant toy made out of wood, you will call it as elephant toy and not wood. In the similar way, you should see the divinity in all human beings and creatures, even though you can not see the God in them with your eyes. 258. The dog will try to bite the stick thrown towards it but the lion will try to pounce on the person who throws the stick against it. In the similar way, a fool will try to torch the body to understand the God, but the wise will try to control the desires to understand the God. 259. The God will be pleased with the person who prays for others happiness rather than looking for his own just like a mother remains grateful who helps her children in need. To be continued… ----- 2.

Chaitra 1922: Hemadripanth (Sri. Anna Saheb Dhabolkar) commenced writing Sai Satcharita Marathi Script. ------------------------------- 3. SAI IN DREAMS: http://ebeacon.ettitudemedia.com These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSa Ji >From our beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRIDI. In Anticipation that this feature will help in one's spiritual growth are hereby compiled from his personal Diary and presented to SAIBANDHUS. Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY. 20-06-1994 Yesterday, I wanted to collect money for the cause of SAI from the friend circle. I was disappointed as none responded. I prayed SAI and said "As Saibanisa, I cannot engage in mobilizing money, at least grant me the power to sustain myself in your service". Baba had shown me with a vision – An invisible person was pushing a vegetable cart, engaged in selling them to the passers by. The interesting part of it was that I could see only the hands in action and not the person behind it. Later I was shown a person cycling in darkness with a dynamo driven light. He was continuously adjusting the beam in darkness for better visibility. Thus a way will be formed, provided a beginning is made, taking the first step in the right direction. Advance further with the knowledge gained. I concluded not to seek money favors from others and extend service to Sai to the extent possible. Money centric activities will lead to unnecessary headaches. 22-06-1994 I offered salutations to Baba and prayed- "I want to take a major leap in to spiritualism. Let me know my drawbacks so that I can correct them". Baba has shown a visual- I approached a sculptor and requested him to teach me the art, as I wanted to carve the idol of Ganesha and Shiridi Sai. But the sculptor began teaching me the art of carving the image of a beautiful woman. During the process, I was not able to concentrate, as my mind was getting pre-occupied with evil thoughts. But still I continued, leading to the breakage of the idol. The sculptor then addressed me- "your thoughts are not free from the lust for women and lacking the objective. Firstly learn to control and correct, before treading the spiritual path". Disciplining of the senses is a pre-requisite for spiritualism. 23-06-1994 My daughter's health caused me lot of concern. I prayed Baba to bestow me the courage to face the situation. Baba said- Life is like driving a loaded truck on a Highway. Most likely that, we might come across lorries having met with accidents, but that should not deter us from our ongoing journey. Affections are the stumbling blocks in the field of spiritualism.
