I will be with you, the moment you think of me, at any place. Baba.

" I will be with you, the moment you think of me, at

any place. " Baba.

 

Baba's Talk with Devotees:

 

A devotee objected to people going to Baba for

temporal benefit e.g., employment, money, children,

cure of disease.

 

Sai Baba: Do not do that, My men first come to me on

account of that only. They get their heart's desire

fulfilled; and comfortably placed in life, They then

follow me and progress further. I bring my men to me

from long distances under many pleas. I seek them and

bring them to me. They do not come (of their own

accord). I bring them to me. However distance – even

thousands of miles away- my people might be, I draw

them to myself, just as we pull bird to us with a

string tied to their foot.

 

FEARS AND PROBLEMS

 

The most admirable charters of Sai Baba is " Why do you

fear, when I am here! " This itself is an answer to us

for the success of our life. It is universal

phenomenon that a success cannot be achieved

without overcoming troubles. The art of facing trouble

and converting them in to success is easy to all Sai

devotees and methodology is clearly explained in Sri

Sai Satsaritram.

 

This world has numerous problems and freely

distributed gift to us according to our materialistic

ambitions. If your ambitions are totally controlled by

`Maya' then your struggle in the life is

unending. The so called modern needs of life, such as

prestigious profession, overflowing pay and perks,

luxurious shelter, beautiful wife, handsome husband,

genius children, reliable relations, confidential

friends etc, Do you think these are the things that

will provide you real pleasures in your life? Be

honest in your judgment with practical current

situations.

 

If you are very sincere in your judgment, the answer

will be a big `no'. Your neighbor in a rented house,

earning meager salary in a private commercial

establishment, children studying in government

school is happier than you. Your countless problems on

taxes, falling profits, inability to meet business

target, ever increasing household and business

expenditures, disturbed sleepless nights,

misunderstanding with wife, careless children. etc.

etc. is a partial list. Despite with all these odds,

if you are peaceful and happy that is because of your

faith on Sri Sai Baba and leading life as per His

teachings.

 

Baba declared that he had come to give blessings to

people, temporal and spiritual wealth, and that He

draws them under various pretexts. In this world,

material aims and objects cannot be ignored

and man cannot be blamed if worldly prosperity is one

of the main motives of their devotion to God. This

fact has been recognized not merely by Saibaba, but by

Lord Krishna Himself.

 

Chaturvidha Bhajante Mam

Janah sucrutino Arjuna

Aartho Jijnasuh Artharthi

Jnani cha bharatarshabha.

 

This means, `Four sorts of men are drawn to Me. They

are all blessed. They are a) the distressed, b) those

seeking knowledge, c) those wanting worldly objects

and d) the man of perfect wisdom. The distressed

people are the largest number in the world and it is

not surprising that they were the earliest to approach

Baba. Persons are indifferent to God and Saints, so

long as they are well off. But

once distress besets them, they feel helpless and seek

the aid of a Higher Power. When distress enters, all

fancied obstacles of inability to understand, doubt

and carping fly and leave the man with a ready

receptive heart and make him rush to the one who he

believes – and his distress makes him believe- to be

gifted with power to redress. Distress rouses hope and

faith and these work wonder of turning a skeptic into

a believer. This has proved thousands of times and it

is true all times.

 

Baba's message to His distressed devotees " Cast off

your anxiety, your sufferings have come to an end.

However, oppressed and troubled one may be, as soon as

he steps in the Masjid, he is on the pathway

to happiness " (Sri Sai Satsaritram Ch. xiii).

 

Hence Sai Baba of Shirdi is our savior and

protector,-why fear, when He is always with us.

 

PRAYER

 

Prayer is the greatest power available to the

individual and the benefits of prayer power are

astonishing. To discover amazing power of prayer, the

following are ten rules outlined by Norman Vincent

Peale:

 

1. Set aside a few minutes every day. Do not say

anything, Simply practice thinking about God. This

will make your mind spiritually receptive.

 

2. Then pray orally, using simple, natural words.

Tell God anything that is on your mind. Do not think

you must use stereotyped pious phrases. Talk to God in

your own language, He understands it.

 

3. Pray as you go about the business of the day, on

the subway, or bus or at your desk. Utilize minute

prayers by closing your eyes to shut out the world and

concentrating briefly on God's presence. The

more you do this every day the nearer you will feel

God's presence.

 

4. Do not always ask when you pray, but instead

affirm that God's blessings are being given, and spend

most of your prayers giving thanks.

 

5. Pray with the belief that sincere prayers can

reach out and surround your loved ones with God's love

and protection.

 

6. Never use negative thoughts in prayer. Only

positive thoughts get result.

 

7. Always express willingness to accept God's will.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God

gives you. It may be better than what you ask for.

 

8. Practice the attitude of putting everything in

God's hand. Ask for the ability to do your best and to

leave the results confidently to God.

 

9. Pray for people you do not like or who have

mistreated you. Resentment is blockade number one of

spiritual power.

 

10. Make a list of people for whom to pray. The more

you pray for the other people, especially those not

connected with you, the more prayer results will come

back to you.
