13 The Cure of Bhimaji’s Tuberculosis I bow down to Sree Ganesh I bow down to Sree Saraswati I bow down to the Guru I bow down to the Family Deity I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra I

bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath. 1. Baba’s words were short like the Vedas, pithy, deep and full of meaning, very comprehensive, but compressed. 2. They were deep in meaning and very exact. They were never futile. They were balanced and priceless. 3. Remain aware and alert to your past and future. Accept your fate and manage within your means. Always be contented. Fret over nothing. 4. “Oh! though I am a fakir and have no home nor household, sitting uninvolved in one place, leaving aside all mundane matters, 5. yet, Maya is inevitable. She even harrases me often. I forget her but she does not forget me. She always comes and embraces me. 6. Adi Maya originates from God and bewilders even Brahman and others. Then what could be said about a poor fakir like me! 7. Only the mercy of God can save you from its clutches. Without continuously reciting God’s name, this attachment will not be destroyed”. 8. This

is the way Baba described the powers of Maya to his devotees and extolled the recitation of God’s name as the antidote of Maya. 9. ‘Saints are my incarnations’ as Krishna has said in the Bhagvad, when talking to Uddhava. Who does not know these clear words? 10. Therefore, for the sake of the welfare of his devotees, whatever the great Sai, cloud of mercy, said explaining the substance of this statement, listen to it with great

humility. 11. “Such pious persons have become my followers whose sins have been destroyed and they have understood me. 12. If you recite ‘Sai, Sai,” always, I will take you beyond the seven seas. If you believe in these words, you will be certainly benefitted. 13. I do not need elaborate worship

either sixteen fold1 or eight fold2. Where there is infinite faith, I reside there”. 14. So spoke Baba to his devotees, from time to time, with tender love. Let us derive solace from the recollection of these loving words. 15. Such is that kind Sai, friend and benefactor, who is the protector of those who are

surrendered to him. Just listen to the miracle he performed espousing the cause of a devotee. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
