1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF SAIBANISA JI

 

http://www.angelfire.com/celeb2/saidarbar/pages/S3500055.htm

 

 

 

Shirdi Sai's Philosophy in the

words of Saibanisaji

 

 

 

SEARCH

FOR TRUTH

 

 

 

There

is no one way to get free from the trap of worldly passions. Suppose you caught

a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a dog, a fox and a monkey, six creatures of very

different natures, and you tie them together with a strong rope and let them

go. Each of these six creatures will try to go back to its own lair by its own

method; the snake will- seek a covering of grass, the crocodile will seek

water, the bird will want to fly in the air, the dog will seek a village, the

fox will seek the solitary ledges, and the monkey will seek the trees of a

forest. In the attempt of each to go its own way there will be a struggle, but,

being tied together by a rope, the stronger at any one time will drag the rest.

 

 

 

 

Like

the creatures in this parable, man is tempted in different ways by the desires

of his six senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, touch and mind, and is controlled

by the predominant desire.

 

 

 

If

the six creatures are all tied to a post, they will try to get free until they

are tired out, and then will lie down by the post. Just like this, if people

will train and control the mind there will be no further trouble from the other

five senses. If the mind is under control people will have happiness both now

and in the future.

 

 

 

People

love their egoistic comfort, which is a low of fame and praise. But fame and

praise are like incense that consumes it self and soon disappears. If people

chase after honors and public acclaim and leave the way of truth, they are in

serious danger and will soon have cause for regret.

 

 

 

A

man who chases after fame and wealth and love affairs is like a child who licks

honey from the blade of a knife. While tasting the sweetness of honey, he has a

risk hurting his tongue. He is like a man who carries a torch against a strong

wind; the flame will surely burn his hands and face.

 

 

 

One

must not trust his own mind that is filled with greed, anger and foolishness.

One must not let his mind run free, but must keep it under strict control.

3. SAI IN DREAMS

 

 

 

http://www.ettitudemedia.com

 

 

 

 

 

These are the dream sequences and messages as received by SaiBaNiSaji From our

beloved GURU LORD SAINATH OF SHIRDI. 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.

 

 

 

JANUARY-1996

 

 

 

19-01-1966

 

 

 

Yesterday

night, Sai appeared in the form of an unknown person and gave a message-

 

 

 

To

sustain in materialistic life, money is necessary, wrong ways and means adopted

to earn money is dangerous. Whereas in the field of spiritualism, devotion is

needed for progress. Quitting the wrong path for the sake of earning divine

grace is commendable.

 

 

 

Good

and bad co-exist. Wisdom should prevail to follow the right always.

 

 

 

22-01-1996

 

 

 

Sai

appeared in the form of a Saibandhu arrived from Shirdi and spoke the following

words:

 

 

 

1.

Entertain your guests with good words.

 

 

 

2.

Seek blessings from those who are truly interested in your welfare.

 

 

 

3.

Never aspire for money favors from others as often headaches are bound to

accompany such donations.

 

 

 

4.

As a Sai devotee, never crave for fame, as it attracts lot of Criticism too.

 

 

 

A

true Satsanghi should be free from desires.

 

 

 

23-01-1996

 

 

 

Sai

appeared in the form of a woman and said-

 

 

 

It

is a sin to give birth to children when you are not prepared to shoulder the

total responsibility. It is still bigger crime to give away them in adoption,

unable to bring up.

 

 

 

Every

relationship has a past history and made for settlement of certain old dues..
