DO NOT USE SCORNFUL AND SLIGHTFUL SPEECH

In our scriptures great stress is laid on 'Non-violence', which means not to

hurt anybody, physically, mentally or by speech. Sai Baba had realised that of

all the above, harsh and scornful words hurt a person much more than physical or

mental violence. Such cutting words are not easily forgotten and cannot be

withdrawn also. Consequently they cause ever-lasting enmity. Sai Baba,

therefore, not only advised His devotees " not to speak cuttingly to anyone so as

to hurt him to the quick " (Ch. 19, P. 104), but on the contrary, off and on,

said :

" Let anybody speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving any

bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy "

(Ch. 19, P. 101-102) and in addition to make sure that they did follow His

advice, used to say :

" He who carps and cavils at others, pierces Me in the heart and injures Me, but

he that suffers and endures, pleases Me most. " (Ch. 44, P. 237) Regarding tongue

another advice of Sai Baba was lo avoid arguments or hot discussions on any

subject with others. Arguments spring from egoism. Arguments lead to quarrels

and spread enmity. DO NOT INDULGE IN SLANDER-MONGERING NOR IN DISCUSSING OTHERS'

AFFAIRS UNNECESSARILY

Sai Baba advised His devotees not to indulge in scandal or slander of others.

For this, He had His own methods of correcting the defaulters. He, being

omniscient, knew, when and where the devotees had committed the fault, and so,

he could correct them effectively by taunting them also. In Ch. 19, Sai Baba

pointed out to such a defaulter, a pig that was eating filth near a fence and

said to him, " Behold how with what relish it is gorging dung. Your conduct is

similar. You go on reviling own brethren to your heart's content. "

Needless to say that the devotee was ashamed and took the lesson to his heart

forever.

Similarly, in Ch. 21, having known that a pleader from Pandharpur, had

unnecessarily taken part in a discussion in the bar room regarding the sub-judge

Noolkar's coming and staying at Shirdi for cure of his ill-health, Sai Baba,

when the pleader himself arrived at Shirdi, started saying,

" How cunning people are! They fall at the feet, offer Dakshina, but inwardly

give abuses behind the back. Is not this wonderful? " The pleader understood that

the remark was aimed at himself and being convinced, later said to Kakasaheb

Dixit, " This is not a rebuke to me, but a favour and advice, that I should not

indulge in any scandal or slander of others and not to interfere unnecessarily

in others' affairs. " Messages from the teachings of Sai baba for 10th Jan

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'.
