MESSAGES FROM BHAGAWAN – V

[Guest guest]

MESSAGES FROM BHAGAWAN – V I have taken a human form,To be able to communicate with you,In an easier and more understandable way.I have come to approachEach and every one of you separately,And give you the love and guidance,You need to become

Godward.My approach to each one of you,Is separate and unique.I am determined to transform you.That is My mission.Success is My flag.Truth is My symbol.Strength of righteousness is the holder of My flag.And I am Love.To love is what I teach.And love is what I want you to become.Say "no" to anger,Say "no" to envy,Say "no" to greed,And say "Yes" to Me.Say "no" to hatred,Say "no" to jealousy,Say "no" to fear,And say "Yes" to Me.Say "no" and end this way forever.Say "Yes" and start your peace with Me.As I walk amongst you today,I come to enrich you,Enrich you with the knowledgeOf the self,I come to you,To identify yourselves to you,To make you realize the commonnessOf you and of each one around you,The commonness between you and Me,Divine Love !Where there is love,There, there is truth.For true love comes,Spontaneously from the

heart.It is not planned,Nor is thought about.It springs out from within,Waiting to be accepted.Even today when you travel to Shirdi or Parthi,You face all kinds ofPhysical and mental turbulations.You feel tired physically from your journeys.You experience anger and frustrations.You inflict pain on your loved ones,Who travel with you.But your goal through all these is focused onReaching your destination,Taking Darshan and collecting prasadam.Consider your life to be a pilgrimage.During your journey, you also face ups and downs.You experience pain and miseries.But if you focus your goalTo become God or reach God,You will one day reach your destination.Find Me and collect from MeThe prasadam I always give,Divine love for you and peace forever.Fasting from food deprives your body,Of energy to function.Fasting from action of duty,Deprives your mind to

rest.What I ask you fast is to fast words.Observe silenceAnd you will speak the strongest language of all.A single word uttered,Leads to a multitude of thoughts.Too many words,Leads to too many thoughts.These cause chaos, restlessnessAnd spiritual, mental and physical fatigue.Talking can cause even more pain and stress,Than a tedious physical action.A pure mind is a mind with no thoughts.A pure heart is that which knows only love.A pure language is that of silence.Laugh bravely at the eyes of suffering.Feel not your pain, cry not your fears.Use the name of the Lord, as your weapon to fight.When His name is your strength,You are untouched by pain.When He becomes the power to your will,All sufferings can be endured with His vigor -Overcome and even forgotten.When He shines the light of spiritual inspiration,God slowly begins to take form,And becomes more clear to

you.When His way becomes your path to travel,Your journey awakensFrom death to the life of the sweet Divine.How sweet life is when He walks in!And reveals a strength that lives within - Him!Love is like an infection.Once infected with love for the Divine,The more it spreads.This is the most healthiest infection of all.Those who are not infected,Are the ones who are sick.It is malignant and the infection itself is the cure.It spreads from the sweet words of the ear,To the peaceful vision of the eyes,To the nectar speech of the tongue,To the humble actions of the hands,And to the warmness of devotion of the heart.Divine love has no bars,Of caste, creed, race, religion,Of rich or poor.It is a gift that is bestowed in abundance to all.You are now sufferingFrom the sickness of "Myness".Turn this "Myness" to "Ourness".Nothing truly belongs to you.All relationships

end,All possessions wither,All egos are trampled,All worldly riches are expendable,Except for the riches I have come to give,Of Divine Love,Your true nature and your only treasure.Turn around and look at Me,In My eye, face to face.Search for that mirror,That reflects your face as Mine,And Mine as yours.True devotion,A simple heart,And a pure mind.A soul that loves,A body that sacrifices,Makes you "the God" that lives,As a messenger in His own form.God's simplicity is His beauty.Turn around from your sweet sorrows,And walk towards Me step by step.Each step will give you an image clearer,Of Me as you and you as Me.A small voice from within speaks.It is the voice you call conscience,And I call "God".From birthYou are gifted with treasures of the Divine.The mystery, My dears, lies in seeking it.A box that is closed will not reveal their

contents,Unless opened.In the same way, your treasures of the Divine,Will not revealTill you open your minds and your hearts to God.Open your minds ! Forget the past!Stop your worriesFor the uncertainties your futures hold.Open your hearts!Relieve yourselves of heartache and pain,From all the dislike, hatredAnd differences you carry within.The self within suffocates,Blinded in your wall of differences.Its voice today is muffled and unclear,Creating the doubts of God's presence,That truly lies within you.I have come today to assure you,That there is God,That God can be foundIn the skies and the mountains,In the seas, in the meadows, in the fields.God lives in birds and all animals.All that you love today are God.All who you dislike today are also God.I have come to confront you today,With My understanding of truth,And My weapon of love.Let all your doubts

todayBecome your foundation of faith.Come with Me,For no place is truly yours, but Mine.Your place is the seat of My love.My place is with you always!I have come to answer all your questions.All will be answered at the right time.When the time is rightThe event itself will be your answer.Look at this window.It shows day as day and night as night.If you pull this blind downYou cannot make night day and day night.So pull up that blind.I have come to help you to do that.I will show you day as day and night as nightAnd accept it.You work in the day time and sleep at night.You cannot sleep in the day time and work at night.Everything is done when the time is right.The rose plant can be compared to life.Full of thorns?Roses are divine love.Its beauty and fragrance are both divine.Thorns are nothing but ego.Look, even if one small thorn enters your foot,It

hurts.Why?Ego hurts. Love does not.Ego is not your true nature.Be a gardener.Cultivate your very own rose plant with love.Pour pure water over it for it to grow.When the roses bloom, offer all of them at My feet.I will accept all that you give with true love;It is our love for each other,That connects you and Me.Love is not to keep, but to give.So give, give, give and take back

loadfuls.Meditation is forgetting yourselfAnd becoming Myself.I am nothing but pure love.Fill every cell of yours with My loveAnd feel My bliss enter.To realize you as Me is true meditation.Learn to give love.Give love, give love!Do good!Close your eyes,And hear My words of encouragementWhen you do good.This is nothing but the beginning ofMy communication with you.Strengthen this communication with Me,Through your good actions.This in turn will give you peace.When your mind is calm and heart is full of love,Your meditation will be automatic.Look for My feet.I leave My footprints always.I have paved the road.Just follow My footprintsAnd you will reach home.For ages I have nurtured,Loved and brought you up.My biggest need of all is to love you.Your ignorance of your true natureForces you to be an orphan, Even though,I, your mother and father,

stand right beside you.You seem to choose this ignorance,But your suffering has become My suffering now.I have come to unfold your blindfold,To remove this ignoranceWhich seems to be your blanket of security.I have come to offer you a new warmth,A new and true security your true nature seeks.My arms around you for your warmth,And My love for you forever and ever.If there is to be any death,It must be those of your desires.I have taken a mortal form,To make you realize that you are eternal.Life can be compared to sleep.You close your eyes and prefer to be in darkness,Thinking it to be a restful phase.The dreams are nothing but your life events,Which you seem so attached to.Sunrise can be compared to death.The light streams in.Your eyes open,The dream ends,And reality sets in.The dreams now appear unreal to you.When I say "death",I mean the death of your senses of desires.This is the death of the "I".The "I" separates you from Me.I have come to stop you from sleeping,To expose the untrue nature of your dreams.Right outside your window,So that these sun rays stream on your face,To force you to open your eyes earlier.It is only in this true light,That you will see Me.Your whole focus must be to please Me.Once you please Me,You automatically please everyone.The cleansing of your soulCan be compared to your daily

bath.The effort to keep yourself clean,Is nothing but your spiritual sadhana.The soap and dirt mixtureCan be compared to your desires or vasanas.And the pure waterTo wash of your desires or vasanas,Is nothing but My grace, which I pour upon you,When I see sincere effort in your spiritual quest.To be a good mother and a teacher,You must be a good student.Mere teaching without following is not impressive.To be a teacher you have to be a degree holder.You cannot be merely handing out degrees.A student is a mould of his mother and teacher.To read and marvel at My teachingsIs not what I want.I look for sincere effortTo put these teachings into practice.So to be a good teacher,You must be a good student for life.This is a constant struggle,But at least let Me see you trying to struggle.Get off your wheel chair and try to walk a few steps,And I will carry you the rest of the

way.Look at Me closely,Go beyond the form of the body and look within.Look within deep and you will see,That I am nothing but your own reflection.All these yearsI have taken different forms of love for you.As a child I nurtured youAs a loving mother and father.As you grewI took the form of your brother and sister,And taught you to live, share and love others.When you became a young lady,I became your life partner,To love and protect you.To add a rainbow in your life,I gave you two beautiful sons to love and adore,And learn selfless love.But today, I stand in front of you in My true form.Your Baba stands in front of you,To offer you the most divine form of loveYou have ever experienced or known.This love has been with you,All through different birthsAnd continues.Come accept My love and free yourself,From the agony of this limited loveYou have experienced till

now.My love is limitless like the sea,Bright and colorful as the rainbow,A love that gives, grows,And expects nothing in return.Why do you restrict Me to one room of the house?Every room must be "Baba's room".Surround yourself with Me.Obsess about Me.Create a Baba madness in your life.Believe Me, this madness is the sweetest of all.It is this madness I encourage most of all.You are sitting in a chariotWhose reins I have total control of.Your only duty is to have complete faith in Me,To get you to your destination.Do not try to instruct Me how to hold the reinsOr take them from Me.It will lead, only for you to have an accident,And get disabled for a certain period,Or get lost in your journey.I have taken pity on you and come to save you.Just sit back and enjoy the journey.Do not worryIf others do not take the same road you take.Too many cars on one street causes a traffic jam.If you have to worry, worry as

toHow many miles you have traveled to reach Me.Or even if you started the journey yet?Worry as to how many more painful birthsYou have to take.Swami stands in front of you with a map.It has a lot of rest stops,And everything is taken care of.Slowly but surely,One day you will reach Me.Do not dwell as to what has happened in the past,And worry about the future.Concentrate on the present and dedicate it to Me.With such constant spiritual sadhana,Your past karmas get negatedOr lessened with My grace,And the future is automatically taken care of.The present moment, every second, every minute,Is filled with Me communicating with you.Accept Me whole heartedly as your present.Work hard!Putting your whole undivided attentionTo the present,Gives you wonderful memories of your past,And anticipation for a peaceful future.I respond to any form you love or find Me in.I do not

discriminate.Come to find MeThrough whichever form you love most,And you will see Me.I am presentIn each and every atom of this universe,And many, many more.Any basis of creation, living or nonliving,Is but My form.You are surrounded with Me,But you are unaware of it.Winter has gone and Spring has come.Sow your seeds of devotion early,And enjoy a good harvest.On seeingYour earnest readings of your Gurucharitra,I Myself have come to instruct you.I have comeTo explain the importance of a Guru in life.No readings without understanding,And put into practice are of any use.You have sat here week after week at My feet,And made a sincere effort.It becomes My duty as your Guru to instruct you.Continue your sadhana,And not only you, but all will be benefited.The love I have come to give youIs to be distributed.Those who truly know Me,Will know the significance of

My words.Place your head at My feet,And collect all the treasures I have come to give.An act of service is thatWhich is truly done in My presence.It can be compared to a game of hide and seek.You are looking for the SwamiHidden in the ones you serve,And once you seek Swami,You have definitely won the game.I do not scale any acts of service big or small.What I measure is the quantity of love in it.Feel very fortunate at the smallest opportunityTo be given to serve.Every act done with true love is nothing,But another stone paved,In your spiritual path to reach Me.Your love for Me makes your life complete.My mission successful,Our goal is the same.So shed those tears for Me,And cleanse yourself.Break the "I" and bend it,And end this life with Me.I would like to write a few words of Mine,On your mind, as if it were an empty page.A page that reads no names but

Mine.May those names travel and lodge in your heart,So very deep within.And after they have made their home in there,Let them be a part of the lips which pray,And call Me over and over again:"Sai, Sai, Sai, Sai, Sai, . . ."Let the wick of your faith burn,From the smallest candle to the brightest torch,And with it let it burn,All the 'I's that did not belong.And at the end, let only the light remain.The light which is bright and full of love,Cool and peaceful,Streaming within and around you always,Keeping you in My presence.Let Me be your inspiration.Let Me think your thoughts for you.Let Me say your words for you.Let Me choose to hear the words for you.Let Me do all the chores for you.Why carry all these burdens,When I am there to take them from you.Let Me be the doer of all your karmas.One duty lies with you,Without which I am helpless.The duty of calling upon

MeTo take these burdens.Once you have done this,The burdens fall on Me,And My Grace falls on you.Do not do anything to earn praise from others,For I am the witness to every act,Those who praise you today,May blame you tomorrow.So do it for Me and Me alone.Because My love for you stays the same.All that you face today,Are nothing but your own karmas,For God does not punish and bring misery.That is why I walk amongst you today,To see which fruit is ripe to come home with Me,And which one has to stay on the tree still.So ignore all your miseriesYour karmas have brought upon,And realize your truest misery,Of your separation from Me.I give you all the options, but it is you that chooses.Choose Me!And end it all!Build a beautiful temple within,And let it reflect in your character.Let the beauty from withinCome out and reach out.Start the foundation with

your faith,Slowly build the walls with your love.Cover the ceilings with your devotion.Put within it lights of truth.A carpet of peace.Then close your eyes and sit with patience.Wait for Me.I will come,I have come to stay.You have built My home for Me.Spread your hands before Me,And let Me give you My gift of love.A love that soothes all wounds,No matter how much it hurts.So get up and move on with My strength,No more stones and no more thorns,For I am ahead and I have cleared your way.Just follow closely in My shadow.There are two ways of love.One in which you give loveAnd accept love in return.The other in which,You give love, give love, give love . . .This love is endless.It is divine.It is Me !So love to give loveAnd in return receive Me.My eyes direct your eyes the direction to see Me.My ears direct your ears to hear only of Me.My smile

shows you the happiness I bring.My hands show your handsHow to serve Me in everyone.My heart shows you the love I have for you.Use your body,As an instrument I have given to you,To bring yourself to Me.Pray sincerely,When you are surrounded by darkness,The darkness of ignorance,Which loses your peace.Ask for the "teacher" from the Lord,To help you, show you the way.When suddenly, you will see a light,And a sound of footsteps at the corner,A muffled voice that prompts you.And as you pray harder and harder,The voice that prompts gets clearer and clearer.You are now surrounded by a sense of security,And the voice declares, "The Guru has come!"Do not waste your timeIn discussing My teachings.Use the timeTo understand them,To practice them,And to meditate on them.Discussion only breeds arguments,And feeds the ego.So stay quiet,And assimilate My words

alone.For I speak,Only when the mind is calm and silent.Let your mind have no thoughts,Other than Mine alone.The mind is a frog leaping from thought to thought,Leaving you in an unrestful state.Allow Me to open the door and enter into your life,To tame your mind.Like a circus ring leader,Let Me train your mind to think of Me,And elevate your beast-like thoughtsTo divine ones.There is only one gift that I accept -Your love for Me that comes from your heart.A love that comes spontaneously,Expecting no rewards.When I see this earnestly,I stand right before you,Directing you in every way,To bring you closer.So come My child,Come dance with Me,Arm in arm together.Pour all your love into Me,And merge with Me forever.When you speak of a world beyond,You are filled with doubts.They are mere guesses.Ask Me,For I know for sure.I come from there

!There is a new love for you to discover,For which I need firmer faith,More spiritual effort,A patience that perseveres.So walk into the light,Where there is no darkness.Demand for Me !Know the truth !Be released !Give your love to those who need,O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Be kind to those in misery,O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Be compassionateTo those who are sick and helpless,O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Be patient with all children.O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Give encouragement to our youth,O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Be respectful to your elders,O but, push yourself, a little bit more.Push yourself one step ahead,With every act you do,And soon you will find,That your spiritual effortWill bring you to a road that leads directly to Me.Do not cry tears of sorrow,Nor those of pity,For

they depict your lack of faith in Me.I have come to wipe your tears,To make your faith stronger,To help you fight this feeling of weakness.No, you are not alone !For I have come to inspire you,To wage this war within,To conquer the enemies that lie within.No, you are not alone !Together we shall accomplish this mission.Just have faith.Together we can beat any army,Win any battle.Just have faith,And I will face all the arrows.I have come to take your pain,To dress those wounds you inflict upon yourself.No, you are not alone !Have faith, for My feet are ahead,And you are in My shadow.Bend yourself and place your head on My feet,And give Me your mind,Filled with restless thoughts.In return take from My feet,All the love and peace I have to offer.Reading constantly about Me,Is nothing but controlling the mindTo be focused on MeAnd to prevent diversion to other thoughtsThat only submerge Me,And emerge the ego.Let Me find the wayFor you to reach Me.Give Me along the way,All your devotion andYour faith in Me,For walking on this path aloneIs like walking on glass,As it cuts and opens,Inflicts new wounds and opens old ones,Hindering your progress to reach Me.When I walk ahead of you,I clear the glass for you,And if one or twoMay find your feet,I pick you up in My arms,And continue to

walk with you,Till your wound heals,Until you are able to beBack on your feet again.And when we near My home,I open the front door,Smile and wait,To watch youRun into My arms forever.Stay there, My sweetBaba is coming to bring you home !Believe Me, I always amWalking around your home,To motivate you, and to encourage you,To awaken the Me within you.And when I see you respond,I unfold all the religious texts,And Myself explain them to you,In a language that is special,Only between you and Me.I have come to cure, I have come to transform,A heart that once belonged to Me,A heart that was pure and full of love.But now is tainted and diseased.I have come with a remedy.I have come to end this misery.End this pain, with My form in your eyes,Strengthen yourself, and bring Me into your life.I have come to give you inspiration.I have come to give you

faith,In awakening Me within,To succeed in your mission,To find Me in everything,Which surrounds you.Know and realize this truth,And break all the bonds.Untie those knots,That attach you to the body.I have come to save you, My child,I have come to set you free.And I will not leave you,Until you succeed.I have come to wish you success.I have come to bring you back to Me.Be a Sai Leader,Wherever you go.Accept the faults of others,And there by strengthen your character.Be a Sai Leader,Wherever you go.Spread your love to all.Give it selflessly and experience divinity.Be a Sai Leader,Wherever you go.Help all and be kind to those who need.Serve Me in them and realize oneness.Be a Sai Leader,Wherever you go.Follow My steps and make Me proud.Become My instrument to spread My message.I have come to lead you to God.I am Sai.Recognize My worth and

know yours.Stay close to Me and I will guide you,To be an ideal Sai Leader.Let your love for Me be silent and within.You can depict your love for Me,By making an attempt to purify your thoughts,By making an attempt to speak soft words,By making an attempt to carry out selfless acts.I have placed the power buttonTo push it "on" within you.But for this to work, you have to make an attemptTo connect the wire to the switch.Only when continuous contact is made,The divine current will flow to you.Without the connectionEven if you put the button in the "on" position,Your divinity will not arise.You cannot only be in the receptive mode,Without attempting to make contactWith the Divine current of love.Only when you receive this love, it flows within you,You are able to carryAnd accomplish your given tasks.At every part of your life,I place an outlet at various intervals.Look for

them earnestly,And make contact with Me.Experience Me and My love,And look for nothing more.To prevent you from stumbling and falling.You seem to be surprised,By the spark of divinity that flashes before you.For the spark to turn into a constant flame,Constant refueling is necessary.I have provided you with the fuel and lamp.I hold in my hand a match.Strike the match against the box.Make contact with Me.Constant friction will give a light.Light your lamp and recognize it's illumination.It is nothing butGoing from the dullness of humanness,To the brightness of divinity.
