1. FROM THE SATSANGHS OF SAIBANISA JI

Shirdi Sai's Philosophy in the words of Saibanisaji

 

 

 

SEARCH FOR TRUTH

 

 

 

To attain perfect mind control is a most difficult thing.

Those who seek Enlightenment must first rid themselves of the fire of all

desires. Desire is a raging fire, and one seeking Enlightenment must avoid the

fire of desire as a man carrying a load of hay avoids sparks.

 

 

 

But it would be foolish for a man to put out his eyes for

fear of being tempted by beautiful forms. The mind is master and if the mind is

under control, the weaker desires will disappear.

 

 

 

It is difficult to follow the way to Enlightenment, but it

is more difficult if people have no mind to seek such a way. Without

Enlightenment, there is endless suffering in this world of life and death.

 

 

 

When a man seeks the way to Enlightenment it is like an ox

carrying a heavy load through a filed of mud. If the ox tries to do its best

without paying attention to other things, it can overcome the mud and take a

rest. Just so, if the mind is controlled and kept on the right path, there will

be no mud of greed to hinder it and all its sufferings will disappear.

 

 

 

Those who seek the path to Enlightenment must first remove

all egoistic pride and be humbly willing to accept the light of Sai’s

teachings. All the treasures of the world, all its gold and silver and honors,

are not to be compared with wisdom and virtue.

 

 

 

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s

family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s

own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to

Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

 

 

 

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue

appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To

walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and

the guidance of virtue.

 

 

 

The Sai’s teaching, which tells people how to eliminate

greed, anger and foolishness, it is a good teaching and those who follow it

attain the happiness of a good life.
