Chapter 16 & 17 :Sri_Sai_Sat_Charitra_Concise(Version)

to Nandu Marwadi and get Him a loan of five rupees. The boy came back empty

handed and said that Nandu was not available. He then sent him to a few others

like Bala Kuroser but the boy came back with the same reply. The rich man who

was watching all this did not bother to offer a loan of rupees five to Baba.

Instead he pressed Baba to show him Brahmagyan quickly (as he had hired the

cart for to and fro trip), Baba instantly replied that the essence of His act

in his presence was that for realization of Brahmagyan for which one should

sacrifice one's own five senses and five vital forces. He gave a long discourse

on mumuksha (liberation), vrakthi (disinterest in worldly affairs), inward

search, destroying bad traits, good conduct, yearning for good, control of mind

and sense feelings, purity of heart and the importance of Guru-which were [sine

quo non for Brahmajan] important for Brahmagyan. Then He told the rich man:

'Well Sir. Take out five rupee

Brahma which is fifty times in your pocket'. The man took out his wallet and

found exactly two and hundred and fifty rupees! Baba added: 'Bundle up your

rolls of Brahma. Unless greed is completely eradicated one cannot realize

Brahma. The illusion of attachment should be shed. My treasury is full but 1

should see whether the person seeks that is eligible to receive the treasure."

By A.Govindakrishnan PS- There is a slight editing in this message done by

me-,the spelling of brahmajan was changed to brahmagyan and the word important

was added to the phrase "sine quo non for Brahmajan" ."Gurur Brahma Gurur

VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur Shakshat ParambramhaTashmai Shri Gurur Veh

Namah"May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our

families and remove our

problems and anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and

happiness with peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366
