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

[Guest guest]

If we become the devotees of Baba we will get everything. In the

hearts of ignorant masses, there is always want and darkness. In the hearts of

the enlightened people, you will not find any sorrow or poverty. They are all

always full.

 

The dwelling places of ordinary men are called houses. If there is

divine love and grace in them, they are called homes. It is a temple, if there

is in it devotion to Baba. The place of Baba's devotees, showering Baba's

grace, is the sacred Shirdi.

 

Shiridi is holy. Dwaraka Mayi too is holy. It is

so because Sai Baba sat there, walked there, slept there, ate there, lived

there and finally attained Maha Samadhi there. The

whole village and the people in it are fortunate and blessed. All there needs

and requirements are fulfilled by Baba. It is for their sake that Baba came to

them from a far away place. Initially, Shirdi was a very small place. It became

big and large, acquiring prominence and significance because Baba had lived

there.

 

If there is everything and everybody in the house

without Baba, it's a poor house without peace. Even if there is no body and if

there is only Baba, then it is a rich house of peace.

 

One old person after retirement had many problems including

insufficient income. Baba solved his problems, helped his income improve and

blessed him with peace. Let us learn about that episode.

 

The relief to Raghunatha

Rao

Raghunatha Rao was an

employee working in a foreign company in Bombay. On account

of old age and ill health, he was unable to continue his job. Therefore he took

leave and was taking rest. His health did not improve during the period of

leave. So he wanted to extend his leave. If his leave was not granted, he

decided to quit his job. The manager of the company resolved to grant him

retirement with some pension. Since he worked in the company faithfully for a

long time, he should have handsome pension. The manager thought deeply over the

matter. His salary per month was 150 rupees. If he gets half of that, it would

not be sufficient. Therefore every body was worried and undecided about it.

 

About a fortnight before the day of decision, Baba appeared in the

dream of Tendulkar's wife. He told, " I think a

pension of Rs.100 is enough and good. Are you satisfied with it?” She

replied, " Baba, why do you ask me? You know all. We have faith in you. "

Baba suggested 100 Rs. And the pensioner got and

excess of Rs. 10. Baba's grace is beyond the

description of words. We do not know what we need. Baba knows us and our

requirements much better.

 

Baba's grace is infinite wealth. Baba's presence is the inexhaustible

treasure house. Baba's compassion is boundless wealth. Baba's blessings are the

akshya patra of boons and

gifts. In the house of Sai devotees the word

'want' has no meaning. Therefore be rich, peaceful and happy as a devotee of

Baba.

May Baba bless you!

Bow to Shri

Sai - Peace be to all.
