Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- X

August 10, 2007

106. When Nanavali11 asked him to get up, he left his seat. Such is he who does not have the slighest ego or who does not even dream of discrimination. 107. He has nothing left to achieve in this world and nothing left to accomplish in the next. Such a saint, in order to grace (serve) the people, has manifested on this earth. 108. The purpose of manifestations of such merciful saints is none other than to grant favours to others (to oblige others) for their welfare. 109. Their hearts are like butter. Some say they are very soft-hearted. They melt in tenderness over the sufferings of others. They feel that it is their own suffering. That is why they melt like butter. 110. Whose clothing is a patched up ‘kafni’; whose seat is sack-cloth; whose mind is free of desires – what is a silver throne for him?! 111. Seeing the devotion of his devotees, he ignored the fact that they, after their difficulties were resolved, turned their backs on him. 112. Baba is the lotus in the lake of Shirdi. The devotees enjoy the fragrance; but

the unfortunate ones are those who wallow in the mud all the time, and partake only of that mire12. 113. He did not tell anyone to perform ‘asanas’, or to practise ‘pran’, ‘apan’ (yogic practises), or to control the sense organs, nor gave them ‘mantras’, or asked them to perform rituals or gave them amulets or asked them to chant or sing bhajans. Such false or fake advice he did not give. 114. Generally, he looked as if he was an ordinary person, but within, he was different. He was extremely competent in practical life and was without peer. 115. For the sake of the devotees he took form. His emotions and passions were also for them. Such is the popular behaviour of the saints. All of you should realise this as the truth. 116. Sai Maharaj is the treasure of peace. He is the abode of pure and heavenly bliss. I prostrate myself to him, who is without

ego and who is unsullied (undefiled). 117. That place is sacred and sanctifying where Maharaj has come to stay, on his own. Unless there is enough of accumulated good fortune, through the previous births, it is difficult to attain this treasure. 118. “Only from a pure seedling, juicy and sweet fruit can come”. (Purity bears juicy and sweet fruits) – (Tukaram). This famous couplet has been tested by the people of Shirdi. 119. He is neither a Hindu nor a Muslim. He does not belong to any caste or creed. But he completely destroys and annihilates the bonds of the world. 120. Just as the sky is limitless and immeasurable, so is Baba’s life unfathomable. Who would properly understand it, except himself? http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
