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

April 18, 2007

73. Sai who is an expert in all the systems of divine faith and worship, and

the one who is the saviour of all his devotees, gave me the prasad of “udi”

17 and placed his boon giving hand on my head.

74. After hearing Madhavrao’s request, Sai took pity on me and purified my

restless mind and gave me courage.

75. After knowing my desire, he gave me his permission to go ahead and said:

“Make a good collection of stories, episodes and experiences.

76. It is better that you maintain records. You have my whole hearted

support. The writer is a mere instrument. I have to write it Myself.

77. My story I shall write myself. I should fulfil the devotees’ wishes

myself. Thus I will wipe out your egotism and place it at my feet.

78. The one who behaves like this in life, to him I will give complete help;

not only for the writing of the story but I shall reside in his home and

serve him.

79. When the ego diminishes and finally disappears, then I will dwell in him

and I will write with my own hands.

80. The undertaking begun with this conviction or any listening, thinking or

writing so done is accomplished by Him, but

the writer is only the instrument.

81. Certainly keep the records wherever you may be, either at home or

outside. Try to remember them, on and oft. You will have quietude.

82. If you listen to My stories, recite them and meditate upon them,

devotion for me will arise and ignorance will be completely destroyed.

83. Whenever there is devotion, full of faith, I am entirely in its power

always. Have no doubts about this. Otherwise I am unattainable.

84. If the listeners listen to these stories with faith, then greater faith

will be kindled and they will easily experience heavenly bliss and will

acquire a state of happiness.
