H H Narasimha Swamiji's Sayings.

 

Faith, intense faith in Sri Sai with oftentimes manifestations of the

power of that faith, forms one of the easiest means of our performing

the duty we owe to Baba and to humanity. Our self-interest in the

lower and the higher sense alike prods us to develop that same faith.

 

Success in life comes only to the bold, the intrepid, the thorough-

going, those who are in dead earnest about success and prepared to

sacrifice all, even pet notions, pet aversions, and pet loves. It is

not commonly recognised that one of the hardest things to give up is

ones weakness, the weakness that prevents man from facing the real

truths of existence.

 

Baba has not one mission, but a hundred missions. Protecting the

goods (virtuous), punishing or reforming he wicked, establishing

Dharma (virtue) or its hold on the people are the functions of divine

personalities, and Baba was performing all these functions. His

mission is to help everyone that means of course, everyone capable of

benefiting. He quoted occasionally his master's or Guru's behest

that, `as he had received liberally from his master, he must

similarly distribute liberally amongst those that approached him.

This means, `even the most wicked, if he concentrates on or worship

Me the Lord, then he must be deemed a sadhu or a good person. Thus

Baba checked vice and weakness in men, giving them purity, strength,

etc., and enabling them to rise spiritually.

 

Baba was dealing with large number of devotees. It is not possible to

make the entire lot moral and properly behaved, inspite of all the

efforts of Baba to correct them. Baba said, `I have been considering

long and thinking day and night. All are thieves. But we have to deal

with them. I prayed to God night and day for their improvement or

removal but God delays and does not approve of the (i.e., my)

attitude or grant the prayer. But living or dead, I will have what I

have been praying for'
