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

[Guest guest]

76. In reply, Baba said: “He will get another service. Let him serve me now.

He will get happiness in the world.

 

77. His household will always be prosperous, and he will not want

foranything till he lives. If he resorts to ME with full faith, his

difficulties will be removed.

 

78. There will be persons who say that they will behave as they like, as

they have strayed from the path. Those who have turned their backs on

religious observances, turn away from such people first.

 

79. If you come across them, swerve away from them. Consider them to be very

dangerous. Be afraid of even their shadows and go out of the way to avoid

them.

 

80. One who is lawless, immoral, thoughtless, without any purpose, who

cannot distinguish between right and wrong – how will he achieve any good in

life?

 

81. But without some special bonds of past lives no one comes to us. May it

be a dog, a pig or a fly. So do not repulse anybody.

 

82. Henceforth, he should serve Me with love and devotion. The Supreme Being

will bless him. He will receive a permanent treasure.

 

83. In what manner should he worship? Who am I? How can he know with

certainty? Sai’s body is perishable, while Brahman is imperishable”.

 

84. “All pervading as I am, I am the personification of the eightfold

nature”. So revealed the Lord to Arjuna while expounding the Gita.”

 

85. “The world made of movable and immovable objects, of names and forms, is

manifested by ME in the form of the eightfold nature. The phenomenon is

created by ME only.

 

86. The mystical symbol ‘Aum’ expresses ME. I am the only connotation of it.

In the whole of the universe, there exists a multitude of things but I am

immanent in all of them.

 

87. There is nothing but the Atman, so what desire should there be? I am all

exhaustive in everything in all ten directions.

 

88. Where all is filled with the whole, the feeling of ‘Me’ and ‘Mine’ melts

away. What desires can we have when I am all pervasive?”

 

89. Desires are born of the intellect. They do not have any connection with

the soul. Sai Maharaj is the embodiment of the Atman. Whence can desires

arise in him?

 

90. There are various kinds of desires. But once the essence is known of

‘Who am I’, then they dissolve like the hailstones in the blazing hot rays

of the sun.
