Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 MESSAGES FROM BHAGAWAN – VI [concluding part] Let your thoughts, words and actions beIn synchrony with each other.If they are not, then be aware.For within you lies a wolf,That is to be hunted and killed.Let your mind be totally focused on Me.This will limit other thoughtsThat will hold you back spiritually.Let your lips chant My name.Let them sing the name of the Lord in praise.Let them soothe othersWith soft speech and loving words.And lastly, but not the least, let your hands be busy.Let them carry out their tasksWith a sense of duty and love.Let them serve others, let them stroke with love.This is the synchrony I want to develop.It is nothing but a formula to purify yourselves.In this state your mind is unagitated.Your heart is full of the nectar of love.In this stillness of peace,There will be only Me ! Me! Me!There are two sets of eyes.The outer eyes, the inner eyes.The outer eyes are merely a toolFor you to see things as they appear.They are fooled by the outward shine.They can be diseased and have a cataract.They lose their vision with age.They become blurry and unreliable.Try to see from the inner eye.On a pure search for Me,You will find this inner vision.There, look deeper and know,The transitory nature of the objects that shine.They are not affected by time or age.This inner vision becomes clearer,As My presence in your life becomes stronger.You are able to see not only in front of you,But in all directions.There is always light in this vision.No darkness ever prevails.You can recognizeMy form in a photo with your outer vision,But with your inner vision, you seeMy presence surrounding each and every atom.Do not limit yourself to this outward world.Dive deep within and see the true visionI have come to grace you with.You are surrounded and blinded by an illusion.This illusion has become a reality to you,And the reality an illusion.A mother will not play with a doll,When her beautiful child is in front of her.Similarly a little girl plays with her doll,And sees her as her real child.When she grows up, she puts them away,Because then she looks for the real thing.When your love for God rises to the ultimate limits,You will find that you are ever content,By just being with Him only.You do not need to beSurrounded by friends and relatives.For you not to feel lonely,Look for My constant companionshipThat is there within you.Believe Me, that is what you need.That is the true reality.To hide one untruth uttered,Leads to several other lies.To conceal one fault of yoursYou have to pretend to coverSeveral others that lead to the fault.To be hypocritical of your opinion once,You constantly have to be someone else.When you join in talks that criticize others,You bind your tongue to unpleasant conversations.When you laugh at other's weaknesses,You lose your own strength to improve yourselves.Look at what you have made,Of something within youThat was all pure and divine.You live in conflict with yourself.Disagreements betweenYou true self and your ego,Will only cause one disaster after another.Make peace with your true self.Drop off this ego that has only become a menace.There is only one voice within, which is true.Find it. Listen to it. Act upon it.Be pure and earn My Grace.A little hesitation and I stay away.A little fear and I stay away.A little anger and I stay away.A little envy and I stay away.A little effort from you and I will come.I will guide.I will protect.I only look for your efforts.I do not respond to your complaints.I do not respond to your praise.I respond to your sincere determinationTo reach Me always.When you begin to build your home,You lay below a strong foundation.You construct on it sturdy walls,And place a roof that is resistantTo all weather conditions.In the same way, to develop Godhood,You must lay a foundation of strong character,You must have walls of sturdy faith,And the roof of loveThat withstands all circumstances.Only after you have built your house,You can appreciate its beauty.In the same way,Only when the divinity within youBegins to emerge slowly,You begin to realize its beauty.When you ask Me for blessings,Ask Me for the biggest of all,The blessing of Me always being there with you.You will then never feel the pain of separation.You will avoid all unnecessary travel,All the unnecessary rush to reach Me,All stress and pain.Do not limit Me to one place.I am present everywhere at all times.Know and realize thatThere is no distance between us.Empty your mind of your ego,Fill your heart with love.Empty your hands of possessions,Fill them with service.Empty your mouth and leave those harsh words,Fill it with the sweetness of My name.Empty your eyes of all's faults,Fill them with the vision of enlightenment.Discard this body, let attachment go,Reveal the Atma, experience your divinity,Know the Oneness of you and in all that exists.If you delay in giving your payment,I too delay in giving Grace.Time decides all, time is God.Work with promptness at all times.Work with eagerness.Make your duty your worship.Make contentment your companion.You must be at peace yourselves.Then only will you be able to please all.Make others' happiness your source of peace,Make others' pain your reason to pray.Stay spiritually alert.No more laziness ! No more excuses !No more "buts" and no more "ifs" !I want from you a strong will.A strong determination to know and realize the self.I am here to motivate you,Encourage you, love you,To show you glimpses of your own divinity.See it ! Recognize it ! Realize it !Do not delay. Time passes by !Time waits for none !Time becomes your destiny !Time itself shows you are eternity !Eternity has no clutches of time,It is beyond time with no limitations.Do not waste time in explaining Me to others.How can you explain MeWhen your knowledge of Me itself is limited ?Mingle with thoseWho have already found themselves to love Me.That will strengthen your faithAnd increase your love for God.Do not compare your spiritual progressWith each other.Each one may be at a different level,But your road is one,Your goal is one,And My love for each one is the same.To judge, criticize and evaluate GodIs only an act of the ego.Stay away from such confusion.When you cannot even explain your own reactions,When you seem to be lackingIn controlling your own senses,When you are yourselves sufferingFrom hysteria and uncalm minds,Then how can you evaluate the Divine ?God is a puzzleAnd you have all the pieces of this puzzle.Each piece adds to the whole picture,And when the picture is complete,You will find the solution to all your riddles.Let every moment of your life,Be a prayer to Me.Every part of you must be involved in this prayer.It must be the prayer of the mind,The prayer of the heart,And the prayer of the soul.Communicate with Me,With your words, actions and thoughts.When every moment of awakening and alertness,Becomes a sincere prayer,Of calling the divine within,The response will come !His eyes will show you the way,His smile will take all your anxiety away,His feet will offer you all His protection,And His hands will cradle you the rest of the way.Break these bonds of your weaknesses,With the power of your strength you develop.Break the chains of wants and desires,And learn to give.Give away all with the sweetness of selflessness.Root your feet firmly to the ground.Do not be even slightly swayed,By the winds of your senses.Focus your vision to see only the goodness of all.Do not get blinded in the darkness of ignorance.Spread your hands only to give all you have.Only yearn to receive from the Lord.With your humility of total surrender,Bend your head at His feet forever.Let Him be your only strengthAnd your only weakness.Your strength being able to love HimIn all, at all times, in every place.Your only weakness is to yearn for His love,Forever and ever.I have given each one of you a duty,A duty to perform in My presence,A duty which must be dedicated with love.With no conditions,But done in the light of selflessness.Each one of you comes to this world,To carry out your worldly tasks.Learn to do them without complaints.Learn to accept and appreciate your situation.Make every action an offering at My feet.Make every moment of your life a prayer.O Sai mother, this life is your treasureI will use this gift of love,To complete all your given tasks.Use this life as your instrument,To fulfill the lives of all with pure love,A love of yours that makes Me "you",And a life that will complete its mission,Of coming back to you.From the self, man is born,Into a body that is limited by time,Lives his life that is willed by his own divinity,But in ignorance of the fact.Time is the factor that limits the birth and death,Of his life-term in this body.The self remainsUnbound and unattached by any limits.The self exists always, but emerges only,When your yearningTo call upon the divinity from within, awakens.This is the beginning of the birth of the self.This is the beginning of the death of the body.Let each morning beginWith the awakening of the self.Turn each day into a "Happy Birthday".When the self is found, man diesAnd only "I" remain.Do not fear the ones that blame you.The blame lies not in them,The blame is your fear of them.Fear is an ungodly act.For, that which is always right and ever perfect,Knows no fear.Divine love can smile in the face of every evilAnd know no fear.The strength of truth can withstand,The gusty winds of falsehood and knows no fear.The steadfastness of faith will remain firm,In the earthquakes of transient life,And know no fear.Your oath of surrender to My will,Will relieve you, My sweet child,Of all your worries, anxieties and fears.Today, you live in fear and worry,And you look for God !To Me, you have made up your minds to fast,Yet, you look for food !It is only when your intent to eat is genuine,Then your search for food will also be fruitful.Resolve to give up your human fears,And fill your lives with acts that are Divine,Act today and save yourselves before tomorrow.All in this world are your very own,Yet you choose to bind only with a few.Your focus on your relationshipsBy birth, blood, marriage,Limit you to see all as your loved ones.If these relationships you value today,Would carry with you from one birth to another,Then your binding would not be a hindrance.But do they really?All play their role, fulfill their duties,And move on to another world,With other attachments.You give your love to only a chosen few,Because you develop attachments with them.I call these attachments, because,You have expectations of them.On the other hand,True love gives with no expectations of them.And even if there is no acceptance,Learn to love, not with any reason.Love knows no relationships,Love does not discriminate.Love shines with the selflessness of sacrifice.When there is love for all, you become content.When all becomes love, you become peace.When love becomes you, you become God !Devotion is the ladder that climbs to God.The first step of devotion,Is to call upon Him in times of need.You next step is when your faith begins to grow,With every prayer answered.Then a feeling of attachment comesAnd at other times, a feeling of confusion,When things go His way and not yours.Your next step you bond in love with Him.He becomes your source of comfort,And an escape from the world.Then you climb to the level of pain,Of separation from Him.You seek HimAnd want His companionship at all times.The next level is when you find God withinAll that surrounds you.You recognize His several forms,And serve Him through them.On the last step of this ladder, the self emerges,And reveals your true natureOf the light that is eternal,The light of GodThat shines within you - the Absolute.The self is enveloped by God and then merges.Then it is only bliss !Sacrifice your ego,And you will realize the self.Let all in the world be before the "I".Know to give, give to know God.All that you gave was never yours.Give to forget, and not to remember or expect.Sacrifice will emit your beauty within.The pain of it, itself, becomes your healing.The love behind it, itself, becomes your way to Me.Your sadhana of sacrificeBecomes your way to Me.Place Me in all, and put the all before the "I".Then God will always be before you,And you will be in His shadow forever.The closer you will come to Me,The more love you will find within.The closer you will come to Me,The more strength you will find to fight yourselves.The closer you will come to Me,The more peace you will find around.The closer you will come to Me,The more you will addict yourselvesTo My presence,The closer you will come to Me,The closer I will come to you too!Drop the barriers that you hold,That masks My presence in you.We live apart, yet we are only "One".One together in this bond of love,One together in this karmic journey,To find our love forever."Come close ! Come closer !" I will silently whisper,For the rest of our way together.For all this time, I have talked,You have listened! You have studied,But it is time now to act!Act on My words and win Me.My words will give you strength.Use this strength and walk forward towards Sai.My messages will stir in you the God that sleeps.Wake up to My light.Learn to love My form in the body of Sai,And use this love to embrace all.When you love all, all barriers automatically fall,All your differences will automatically dissolve.Footprints are leftOnly when there is dirt on the feet.Clean all your impuritiesAnd leave no mark of your ego.For all this time, I have been your guide,And you have followed !But it is time now to reach Me - forever !When God walks in, fear walks away.When fear walks away, faith walks in.When faith walks in, worries walk away.When worries walk away, peace walks in.When peace walks in, fears walk away.When fears walk away, God walks in.God is the beginning, God is the end.All in between is "the battle"The battle between the "I" and the self.Remember the "I" will attack you,The self will always protect.The "I" will cripple you,The self will only strengthen.When the self walks in, the "I" walks away.When the "I" walks away, universal love walks in.Then peace becomes your road,Bliss becomes your transport,And Sai becomes your destination !The life of Christ,Must become the inspirational story of sacrifice,The sacrifice of living life not for Himself.His life was for all,His love soft, pure and all-forgiving.He came on earth to lead all,To experience a sweetness of freedom,The freedom from the ego.He came to embrace all,To hold you close in captivation,The captivation of the Divine.Follow Him now, for He leads you even today.He lives today, in the form of love.His name is truth, His message is peace.Call on Him, with any name,With a heart sincere and a mind pure,And He will respond !You called Him as "Jesus",In the life He came before.You call Him as "Sai Baba",In His life He lives today.The blood of Christ, left His message,Of sacrifice, love and forgiveness of sins of all.He died in body - but rose -For His devotees - to live with them forever -He lives today in the form of love.His name is truth, His message is peace,Christ lives today in the form of Sai !Let the remembrance of God become your practice.The practice will grow to be your "sadhana".Constant sadhanaWill strengthen your "self" with confidence.Confidence of spiritual practice,Will sprout the sapling of tender pure love.Expansive love will turn to sweet devotion.Devotion will strive to clean your inner impurities.The cleansing process of transformationWill strive for perfection.That perfection is God !A little effort, some daily spiritual disciplines,A little confidence, and a keen heart to transform,Are your gemstones of spirituality.God's grace descends to link these gemstones,Into a necklace to adorn you,With a beauty and radiance,To reflect your God within.One day you express of your insane love for Me,The next day your feet step backIn the slippery road of the world.One thing I will say, that your love for God,Cannot falter from day to day.One day it is "Sai", "Sai",And the next it is "My", "My".No ! No ! This is not true sadhana.Your effort put into spiritual practice,Becomes useless if it is not followed withTrue dedication and sincerity.The world is the mask over God,And God is the reality waiting to be revealed.Today I desire nothing,But only for you to find reality.When all in this world are lost,Then tell Me who can truly be your true friend?Who can love you, guide you and accept you,Without any rewards or expectation of you?No one !Do not entangle yourselves any further,In these strings of selfish attachments.You are only born in this worldTo express your desires.This cycle of birth and death,Ends only when these desires are exhausted.If you are playing the role of a true devotee,Then your role must endWith the applause of your true devotion.My applause will be,Your acceptance for now and forever.You call this day as your first day in the New Year,But time is not first and not last.Time continues as long as life continues.Time has existed always,It is never "new", and never "ages".The new year must become your reason to focus,On all the time you have spent in this life.You must ponder todayOn how you have utilized time.You must look at yourselves,And see how you have shaped your lives.What has always been a part of you, andWhat is that which is ever changing?What is it you want to hold on to, andWhat is it that which needs to go?The newness and changeMust be in you and not in time.The happiness lies not in the New Year, but in theNew contentment you will find within yourselves.A mind that is always agitated can never find Me.A heart that cannot love all can never be My home.God is not passion, He is not a challenge.He is thatWhich lingers in a peaceful mind.He is thatWhich resides in a loving and sincere heart.I exist first in the form of thoughts,It is only thoughts of the LordThat will prompt an act of love.I exist in the form of language.It is only words of the Lord that will speak,And sing the song of love.I exist in the form of your actions,It is only the hands of the Lord that will carryAll burdens with love and no complaints.I exist in the form of your eyes,It is only the tears of the Lord that will strengthen,Your love in all sorrows.The Lord Himself thinks all, says all, does all.Let the Lord walk in todayTo accept from you the reigns you hold.Become Him from todayAnd let that be your change, your true new you.You have all fallen in a routine today.A way of life that has killed you within.A way of life that is simply lazy,And without any virtue.When you have come to Me,To celebrate your New Year's Day,Make a pledge to Me,To change your way of living your life.You live for yourselves constantly,But when you are in My presence,I will not allow you to do that.Life is to love and to live for others.How empty is the worldWhen you see only you in it.Make others your world,Others your priority,Others your family,And give yourselvesA new life each today.Today you celebrate Gurupournima.You welcome the Guru in your life today.The full moon enlightens the skies,Leaving no room for fear in the dark.The Guru in the same way,Walks into your life,A life that envelopes you in ignorance.You do not recognize.He takes the form of the full moon,To enlighten your soul,Taking your hand firmly in His,Strengthening your beliefIn the ultimate Supreme.Look for this moonIn everyday of your life.He stands there besides you,Tirelessly whether it is day or night,Carries your burdensWipes your tearsInstilling faith constantlyHe looks for purityHe looks for your loveHe awaits eagerly for you to callAnd when you doHe appears, to carry you awayTo a world where only you and He belong.Today you celebrate "Akhanda bhajan day".You celebrate with great enthusiasm.Because you think I have declared this day.But to Me,You must celebrate Akhanda bhajan every day.The Ananda you gather today,By the constant repetition of the Lord's name,Must be an everyday practice.This ananda creates love and purifies you.Namasmarana must notOnly be a mode of worship,It must be your way of life.Without that there is nothing, you are nothing !Try to put this in practiceFrom the early part of your lives.Remember,It is never too early nor never too lateTo be in the company of God.Make God your most sacred thought.Make God your most auspicious word.Make God's Omnipresence a part of each action,And experience Akhanda AnandaToday and forever.The process of change may be slow,But your determination to want to changeMust be firm.For you to change, you must be openTo criticism and fault-finding.Be honest with yourselvesAs to where your weaknesses lie.All will not change in one day.Tremendous self-disciplineAnd spiritual practices are required.There may be several falls,But the courage to pick up and walk againMust prevail.Temptations may open paths that seem shorterBut do not let false glitter blind you.Become a statue to the world's reaction.To reach God, you must become Him,And that must be your only goal,Your only reason to be in this body.The first step to change is to want to change.Let God be that reason to change.Let Swami lead you to this change.Change from what you have become today,To who you really were.Ask yourselves, how long will you live,Before you will know that what you look for, is you?Your mind is a bank of thoughts.It sometimes prompts immediate actions,And at other times delays reactions.It registers all events,Reminds you of the unpleasant,Allowing you not to forget and forgive.To start your process of transformation,You must close the existing account in this bankAnd start anew.All unpleasantness must be withdrawn.And only the thoughts and visions,Of the goodness of the Lord must be deposited.All the goodness you give must be forgotten.All the pains others may inflict must be forgiven.Your mind must bear once againThe innocence of a child, sweet, loving and pure.A child trusts allAnd looks upon his mother for protection.You too must stop making all judgments.Love all, and let Me protect you from any downfall.Enrich yourselves with a mindThat shines with the treasures of Godhood.This wealth never depletes, always replenishes.Money may buy you a beautiful home today,But it cannot and will never buy Me into your home.I come only when the mind is surrendered,And your heart is open.That is the only payment I accept.I talk of "change" and "transformation".But the change is not of circumstancesThat surrounds you.I talk of the "change",In the way you will perceive circumstances.Once you walk steps towards Me,Maya (delusion) will still surround you,But the change in you will now recognize itAt every step,And the effect of this delusion on youWill begin to minimize.Your habits that have become your second nature,Will become easier to break,With less pain to attachments.Your peace will lie only with God,And you will begin to seek only that,Which emits and radiates His beauty.Your own disgust of your spiritual failures,Will motivate your search for Me.In this change, your own weaknesses,Will urge you to look for the strength of God.The change I talk of is not of the world,But the change in the attitudes of each on of you.Within each one of you liesThe strength to change the world,Not by any mutiny, war, or revolution,But by the dedication and willingnessTo change yourselves.Human nature expects to see at least a shadow,Of His rewards,When putting effort in his spiritual practices.These expectationsSlow down your process of change,And may even disgust you in wanting to change.At times you may feel cheated of God.At other times there may be anger and frustration.You may plunge into comparisonWith another's progress,And experience envy or jealousyOf My attention to another.Each one's spiritual experience will be different,And the attention I give you,Is the only kind of attention you need.Believe Me, you and only you will earn the rewards,When spiritual change within you begins to occur.So wait! Be patient!Do not stress on your time spent to change.Focus instead,On attaining perfection in your efforts.You are not alone in your struggle of change.Your ability to change to Me is My victory.Your faith and patience to changeIs your response to My love.You are not alone in this dream of reality.Yes! it is possible!If not today, not tomorrow - one day!The change will come! The change will occur!Your reality will reveal!Live not to dream, but live the dream,To change from you to Me - with Me.In the light of My vision,I have come to show you the darkness,In the world you live in,To point out the futility of your attachments,To sympathize with your entanglementsAnd your so-called "losses".When the light of My vision dawns upon you,You will begin to lose sight of your ego.My light so bright will eventually blind you,From all evils that live within you today.My vision must become your sight.The light of these words must become your guide.Your moments spent to comprehend them,Will be your time spent with God.This will be your road to reach Me one day.Make these verses your best friends,For they will encourage and talk to you,In times when no other will be by your side.I bestow today My sight upon you,Until you develop your own vision of Sai,And will always be in this bliss of "Sai Darshan".'SAI DARSHAN' by SEEMA M DEWAN(by courtesy of Bro Rajesh Davda) Courtesy: http://saimessages.blogspot.com/ With Sai love from ‘’ oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
