11th advice There will never be any want want in the houses of my devotees

[Guest guest]

What was he given by Baba7

Valmiki is remembered as long

as Ramayana is read. Similarly Hamed Panth is remembered as long as Baba consciousness is

vibrant. Baba is eternal, therefore Panth too is

permanent.

Panth was given

self-realization.

He was also granted lasting personal relationship with Baba.

Baba gave him Brahma gnana.

Booty built Sai Mandir at Shirdi, he was

really fortunate to be a devotee of Baba on account of his purva

punya (good deeds of previous births). He got wealth

and the same was spent for Baba. Was booty

given more wealth? No.

Instead of material wealth, Booty was given spiritual wealth and that is wisdom.

He was given God's love.

He was given the great fortune of serving the master with love.

 

What was Dikshit given

for his absolute faith in Baba?

He was granted Baba's grace in abundance.

He was given the opportunity to build a house for Baba's devotees.

He was given many spiritual experiences.

Fulfilling his promise, Baba gave him very good heavenly abode.

We do not know our wants because they are not of this birth. For

many a Janma we have been living in want. Worldly

wants are to be dispensed with. By Baba's grace, let us develop an urge for

spiritual fulfillment. Ignorance has been haunting us in spite of all wealth. An ignorant person is always in want and poverty. But

a Gnani is rich without any material wealth.

 

Baba knows all. All our

wealth is transient. But God's gifts are

permanent. We can't compare them with anything. If we do not have love for God and

devotion to God, it is the pent up want. But the devotees of Baba do not have

that poverty. The devotee's house is Baba's temple. Sai Baba lives in it.

 

Where there is Sai Baba, there you do not find darkness,

ignorance, poverty, suffering or sorrow. Sai is full and complete. He is God.

His grace is infinite. Listen to Baba again to understand Baba's grace

" come my devotee, my treasury is full to the brim; I can give you whatever

you want even before you ask. Check whether you deserve the gift. I must first

examine you and your desires before I fulfill them. Listen to me carefully I

will do good to you surely. "

(to be contd….)
