Sairam !!!!

More of Swami's thoughts taken from the book

Sai Darshan by Seema M. Dewan

 

 

 

To be a good mother and a teacher,

You must be a good student.

Mere teaching without following is not impressive.

To be a teacher you have to be a degree holder.

You cannot be merely handing out degrees.

A student is a mould of his mother and teacher.

To read and marvel at My teachings

Is not what I want.

I look for sincere effort

To put these teachings into practice.

So to be a good teacher,

You must be a good student for life.

This is a constant struggle,

But at least let me see you trying to struggle.

Get off your wheel chair and try to walk a few steps,

And I will carry you the rest of the way.

 

 

 

I will make you laugh,

I will make you cry.

Know Me more,

And you will even laugh and cry,

All at the same time.

Yes! I am here to make you insane,

To make you realize

That your sanity today

Is your real insanity!

 

 

 

Do not dwell on faults of others.

Instead look within yourself,

And make a search.

Find out,

What it is that makes you find that fault in others.

On proper search, you will find

A hundred more faults within you

That looks for faults of others.

So work hard every second,

By concentrating your attention on Me,

And slowly your faults will diminish.

With constant effort and love for Me,

No faults within you remain.

I now dwell within you,

And your search begins for Me in others.

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever I created was to give you peace.

Unending ranges of towering mountains,

Blue skies, stars, moon and sun,

Surrounded by oceans, trees and birds.

Leaving all this, you search for things

That give you worry.

That which you created

To give yourself temporary happiness,

Increase your desire and leave you only wanting.

End this rat race that leaves you so unpeaceful.

Turn back around,

It may not be too late for you to return to Me.

Don't keep me waiting.

 

 

 

In the darkness of the night,

In a very dense forest,

A tiger strides, stealthily, stalking its prey.

He hides and waits,

And at the most unexpected moment,

Leaps and victimizes the prey.

Do not be a victim.

Do not be the prey.

Be alert, at all times!

The tiger is nothing but your own senses,

That recognizes your weakness,

Stalks you, and hides and waits,

An in your most vulnerable moment,

Leaps and victimizes you.

You die a hundred deaths in one lifetime,

Every time you give in to your senses.

Something dies within you.

Be a survivor and choose to die only once.

Let that be the death of your ego.

Kill it once and for all,

And let Me live within you forever.
