Sairam,

Happy Baba's day. Baba's grace for ever shines upon one and all. To increase the intensity of this grace we as HIS children need to charge it with our love and faith in HIM. Let us pray that BABA gives us the determination and passion to stick to repeating HIS name.

Hope you've all had a fantastic and joyous festive season. During the festive season we perform pooja's and we plead to God for fulfilment of our wishes. We all hope that our wishes will be fulfilled. True, God loves us too much and He wants us to be happy for ever. HE does give us, He gives us only those things which HE thinks we need. It could be something we might have asked Him or it could be something which we have never expected in our wildest dreams, or may be He might think we might not be ready yet to get what we have asked. But as His children we should always have faith in HIM and know that He will give us what we need in right time and right place. This is BABA's promise to all our prayers for this Diwali.

sense-objects. Purification of mind is absolutely necessary; without it, all our

spiritual endeavors are nothing, but useless show and pomp. It is, therefore,

better for one to take only what he can digest and assimilate. My treasury is
