Sairam,BABA bless us and guide us always. May Our love and devotion towards HIM increase many folds with every rising sun.How many times we have disregarded the advise of somebody who is social or economically weaker than us? We thought we know best and know it all. Did you ever act like that, or did a thought ever pass over your mind. I am sure we all have gone through it at some stage of our life. Let me tell you about myself, I first visited shirdi in 1989, after my father told me about BABA. I was young and naive. It was a trip to remember and have seen the marvel of BABA. But I did not know it significance. My father told me to see, Samadhi mandir, and Dwaraka Mayi, told me about the statue of Horse and Tiger. I went to Shirdi with my relatives, firstly I wanted to go for Kakad aarthi, all the relatives slept and my brother and I decided we will

go to kakad aarthi, we entered the samadhi mandir and the gates closed after my brother and I entered the temple. Then I was waiting to burn the sambrani in front of gurusthan, but at 5:30 not many shops were open during those days. My brother said he would look for some shop, he is younger than I am. I asked him not to wander far. I was sitting on a bench opposite to the gurusthan, just then a man neatly dressed, big mustache and a briefcase in his hand came, he put the case next to me, opened it and took out two packets of Sambrani and said in hindi "burn it". He was singing loudly and went round the gurusthan and went away. I burnt it and gave one to my brother to do the same and told him a man gave it to me. It never struck to me to think why would a total stranger give me only Sambrani and nothing else? Then in the morning after breakfast, all my relatives and I were wandering and I was taking them

round and round in search of Dwarakamayi. I was looking for a grand mandir. I was arrogant and probably shy to ask anybody. Just then a little boy came and said "ayi, masjid nahi dekhogi, aapkey peechey hai". I thought "this young urchin has dare to tell me to see a masjid when I am looking for dwarakamayi. So my hautiness and arrogance costed me. We did not see dwarakamayi in that trip, because I thought I knew better than a poor urchin. When I returned and told my father about the incidents, he was surprised and said that was BABA and asked me to read the book "satcharita" which he gave me before my trip to Shirdi. My life turned and I was overwhelmed and regretted for my stupid behaviour. Dear family, sometimes our intelligence deludes us and our ego springs up and we fail to recognise the divinity standing in front of us. The next time I visited Shirdi and saw the masjid was in

1993. BABA's messages come to us through unknown and least expected sources. In order to be able to hear HIS words we need to be humble and accept that HE lives in all. Here is the message for the day..Body"...

When he got an opportunity to go to Shirdi, he saw Sai Baba, prostrated himself before Him, and mentioned his difficulties about the Ishavasya Upanishad and requested Him to give the correct solution. Sai Baba, blessed him and said- "You need not be anxious, there is no difficulty about the matter, the maid-servant of Kaka (Kakasaheb Dixit) will solve your doubts at Vile Parle, on your way home". The people who went present then and heard this, thought that Baba was joking and said, "How could an illiterate maid-servant solve the difficulties of this nature", but Das Garu thought otherwise. He was sure, that whatever Baba spoke, must come true, Baba's word was the decree of the Brahma (Almighty). Kaka's Maid-Servant On fully believing in Baba's words, he left Shirdi and came to Vile Parle (a suburb of Bombay), and stayed with Kakasaheb Dixit. There the next day, when Das Ganu was enjoying his morning nap (some say when he was engaged in worship), he heard a poor girl singing a beautiful song in clear and melodious tones. The subject matter of the song was a crimson coloured Sari, how nice it was, how fine was its embroidery, how beautiful were its ends and borders etc. He liked the song so much that he came out, and saw that it was being sung by a young girl, the sister of Namya, who was a servant of Kakasaheb. The girl was cleaning vessels, and had only a torn rag on her person. On seeing her impoverished condition, and her jovial temperament, Das Ganu felt pity for her and when Rao Bahadur M.V.Pradhan next day gave him a pair of dhotars, he requested him to give a sari to the poor little girl also. Rao Bahadur bought a good Chirdi (small Sari) and presented it to her. Like a starving person getting luckily good dishes to eat, her joy knew to bounds. Next day she wore the new Sari, and out of great joy and merriment, whirled, danced round and played `Fugadi' with other girls and excelled them all. The Day following, she kept the new Sari in her box at home and came with the old and torn rags, but she looked as merry as she did the previous day. On seeing this, Das Ganu's pity was transferred into admiration. He thought that the girl being poor had to wear a torn rag, but now she had a new Sari which she kept in reserve and putting on the old rag, strutted herself, showing no trace of sorrow or dejection. Thus he realized that all our feelings of pain and pleasure depend upon the attitude of our mind. On thinking deeply over this incident, he realized that a man ought to enjoy whatever God has bestowed on him in the firm conviction that He besets every thing, from behind and before, and on all sides and that whatever is bestowed on him by God must be for his good. In this particular case, the impoverished condition of the poor girl, her torn rag and the new Sari, the donor, the dance and the acceptance were all parts of the Lord and pervaded by Him. Hence, Das Ganu got a practical demonstration of the lesson of the Upanishad - the lesson of contentment with one's own lot in the belief that whatever happens, is ordained by God, and is ultimately good for us."

Sairam, Happy BABA's day to you all. May the divine grace of our beloved guru shower on us and our loved ones always. Sai-ism is spreading at an unimaginable pace around the world. And followers are of Shri Shirdi Sai are expected to have certain qualities. Qualities mentioned in Satcharita of that of kindness, empathy, compassion and most important of all virtuous. Virtue in terms of dealing with others be it in business or on social level. Virtue in speech. Often when overwhelmed by love of BABA and involved in HIS works the followers develop a sense of arrogance, haughtiness, ego in what they do is seen. Also one hears demeaning comments of others devotions, their practices and way of worship are heard. BABA condemned this kind of behaviour. He wants simplicity, humbleness, and humility. BABA is judge of who worships HIM and how they worship HIM.

We are no judges of quantifying ones devotion. Only the master knows who is worthy enough to receive HIS grace. As followers of BABA, it is our duty to do our work with gratitude as BABA provided us an opportunity to serve HIM, carry the work with love and reverence towards BABA and respect others and their practices and worship. While serving no work is smaller and no work is bigger. However big a work a follower does for BABA if there is even a little sense of pride or "I am the only one doing it" then there service is of no use. No job is big or small in the eyes of BABA is the feeling of love, devotion and humility in engaging the action that counts. most important of all is the virtue of speech, as followers of BABA we should be conscious of what we say in front of others and what we talk behind. Any such behaviour which is in contrary to what BABA taught us in Satcharita is not worthy to be exhibited by a

follower of BABA. One must analyse whether their actions are worthy of the Master. Here is the message for the week... "Baba's Advice Regarding our Behaviour The following words of Baba are general and invaluable. If they are kept in mind and acted upon, they will always do you good. Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat " them, with due respect. Shri Hari (God) will be certainly pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and resting. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give, but do not bark at him, like a dog. Let anybody speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving any bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. Let the world go topsy-turvy, you remain where you are. Standing or staying in your own place, look on calmly at the show of all things passing before you. Demolish the wall of difference that separates you from Me; and then the road for our meeting will be clear and open. The sense of differentiation, as I and thou, is the barrier that keeps away the disciple from his Master, and unless that is destroyed the state of union or atonement is not possible, "Allah Malik" i.e. God is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our Protector. His method of work is extra-ordinary, invaluable, and inscrutable. His will will be done and He will show us the way, and satisfy our heart's desires. It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come together, let us love and serve each other and be happy. He, who attain the supreme goal of life, is immortal and happy; all others merely exist, i.e., live so long as they breathe". Chapter 18/19 Satcharita.

Sairam,

 

Baba bless us all on this holy Thursday.  People would be busy celebrating Navrathra's and performing various poojas.  As customary with Baba's followers many of them invite BABA to be a part of the pooja and celebrations they hold in their houses or sponsoring in the temples.  Today, incidentally I am doing pooja in the temple and I invited Baba to attend the pooja tonight, I opened Satcharita my most favourite books with which I never part from, and here is BAab's message.  I am sure this message is not just for me but also for all of you who have invited Baba to participate in some function or the other.  Now all we have to do is to recognise Him when He comes to the temple.  It could be in any form, let us beg Him to love Him and serve Him when He comes over to bless us all...

Mr.B.V.Deo was a Mamlatdar at Dahanu (Thana District). His mother had observed 25 or 30 different vows and a Udyapan (concluding) ceremony in connection therewith was to be performed. This ceremony included the feeding of 100 or 200 Brahmins. Mr.Deo fixed a date for the ceremony and wrote a letter to Bapusaheb Jog asking him to request Sai Baba on his behalf to attend the dinner of the ceremony, as without His attendance the ceremony would not be duly completed. Bapusaheb Jog read out the letter to Baba. Baba noted carefully the pure-hearted invitation and said - " I always think of him who remembers Me. I require no

conveyance, carriage, tanga, nor train nor aeroplane. I run and manifest myself

to him who lovingly calls me. Write to him a pleasing reply that three of us

(the trio), Myself, yourself and a third will go and attend it. " Mr.Jog informed Mr.Deo of what Baba said. The latter was much pleased, but he knew that Baba never went to any place except Rahata, Rui and Nimgaon in person.

might suddenly come, in any form He likes and fulfill His words. .... " Chapter 40 SSS.

Sairam,

 

Wish you all a very happy Sankranthi/lohri/pongal. May BABA fill our houses with bountiful of grain. This is a new year, let us begin our year with faith in BABA and leave everything to Him. Often when we are blinded with greed, our senses are clounded and we make hasty decisions in life which may do us more harm than good. Trusting god and leaving every decision to HIM is the best approach. One has to be content with what they have. Striving for riches would bring about distruction to us and also to those ho live with us. Here is BABA's message for us on this Sankranthi...

 

 

His Speculations : (1) Cotton A Bombay friend of Damu Anna wrote to him, that they should do some cotton-speculation business in partnership which would bring them about two lacs of rupees as profit. (Damu Anna says in his statement made about the year 1936 to Mr. B.V.Narasimha Swami that the proposal about speculating at Bombay in cotton was from a broker who was not to be a partner, and that he (Damu Anna) was to be the sole adventurer: - vide P.75 of the Devotees' Experiences Part II). The broker wrote that the business was good and involved no risks and that the opportunity should not be lost. Damu Anna was oscillating in his mind. He could not at once determine to venture in the speculation. He thought about this and as he was a devotee of Baba, he wrote a detailed letter to Shama giving all the facts and requested him to consult Baba and take His advice in the matter. Shama got the letter next day and when he came with it at noon to the Masjid and placed it before Baba. He asked Shama what the matter was, and what the paper (letter) was about. He replied that Damu Anna of Nagar wanted to consult Him about something. Then Baba said - "What does he write, and what does he plan? It

seems that he wants to catch the sky and that he is not content with what God

has given him; read his letter". Shama than said, "The letter contains what you have just said now. Oh, Deva you sit here calm and composed and agitate the devotees and when they get restless, you draw them here, some in person and others through letters. If you know the contents of the latter, why do you then press me to read it?" Baba said - "Oh Shama, read it please. I speak at random and who believes Me." Then Shama read the letter and Baba heard it attentively and said feelingly - "The Shet (Damu Anna) has gone mad; write to him in reply that nothing is

wanting in his house. Let him be content with the half loaf (bread) he has now

and let him not bother himself about lacs." Shama sent the reply which Damu Anna was anxiously waiting for. Reading it, he found that all his hopes and prospects about lacs of rupees as profit were dashed to the ground. He thought that he had done a mistake in consulting Baba. But as Shama had hinted in the reply that there was always much difference in seeing and hearing and that, therefore, he should come to Shirdi personally and see Baba. He thought it advisable to go to Shirdi and consult Baba personally about the affair. So he went to Shirdi, saw Baba, prostrated himself before Him and sat shampooing His legs. He had no courage to ask Baba openly about the speculation, but he thought in his mind, that it would be better if some share in the business should be assigned to Baba and said in his mind, that if Baba were to help him in this transaction, he would surrender some share of profits to Him. Damu Anna was thus thinking secretly in his mind, but nothing was veiled from Baba; everything past, present and future were clear to Him as an Amalaka fruit in hand. A child wants sweets, but its mother gives bitter pills; the former spoil its health, while the latter improve it. So the mother looking to the welfare of her infant, coaxes it and gives it bitter pills. Baba, kind mother as He was, knew the present and future prospects of His devotees, and therefore reading Damu Anna's mind, He openly spoke to him - "Bapu, I do not want to be entangled in any such wordly things

(sharing profits)." Chapter 25 SSS.

 

Baba bless us and guide us always in our life.
