Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 SAB KA MALIK EK! (Everyone's GOD is ONE) Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devoh Maheshwara! GuruSakshat ParabrahmahTasmai Shree Guru Veh Namah!! If any one wants money and you are not inclined to give, decline courteously, but do not be cross or harsh with him or make fun of him. DEMOLISH this wall of difference separating you from Me and the Road will be clear and open for our meeting or union. This sense of differentiation, as thou, and I is the real barrier keeping the Disciple away from His Master and unless it is destroyed, the state of union or at-one-ment (attunement) cannot be attained. God alone is the sole Protector. His Method is Unique, Extraordinary, Invaluable and Inscrutable. His ¡WILL¢ shall be done and He alone will show us the WAY to satisfy our Heart's Desires. It is on account of previous cordial relationship (Rhinanubandan) that we have come together again in this life too; let us Love and serve each other and be Happy. He who attains the Supreme Goal of Life becomes Immortal and Happy; all others merely exists in vain! WEALTH should be the means to work out DHARMA (spiritual goal). It is wasted if used only for personal pleasures. Unless you have given it before, you do not expect to get it now. So the BEST WAY to receive is to FIRST GIVE. The giving away of DAKSHINA (donation) (or in charity) also develops non-attachment (Vairagya) and increases Bhakti Jnanya. Give one to receive tenfold. Let the senses do their allotted work of seeing. By all means appreciate Beauty of God's CREATION with a calm and steady mind. Why should one be afraid of anyone when his heart is pure and the thoughts are free of evil? The eyes may do their work of seeing Beauty in a woman or nature without being shy or restless. Make the mind DESIRELESS and observe GOD'S WORKS of Beauty without fear, sin, craving or attachment! But whatever you may do remember that you cannot escape the consequences of your Actions (good or bad) committed either in this life itself or in your past life. KARMA (actions) is the cause of happiness as well as SORROW too. One must therefore bear with it. GOD is the sole just Dispenser of Justice and Protector too. Think of Him always. He will take care of you. Totally surrender to His feet with the body, mind, wealth and speech and then see what He does for you. Mere READING of Spiritual Books will not be enough! The Teachings in them have to be practiced and lived. THINK and PRACTISE what you read; otherwise it is useless. Mere learning without the Grace of Guru is of no use. Wealth and Prosperity are TRANSIENT and the body is subject to death and decay. While knowing this, do your DUTY leaving all attachments to the things of this world and next. Anyone who does this and surrenders to the Sacred feet of Lord Hari (or call Him whatever you like), will get FREEDOM from all troubles and will ATTAIN BLISS. The Lord runs to help one who remembers Him with Love and Affection and meditates on Him. Since your store of past Spiritual Merits was considerable, you have reached Shirdi (Place of Salvation). But can Shirdi (God) do anything if you ignore My MESSAGE and squander your only chance in criticizing others and looking down upon your brethren? RAMA and RAHIM are ONE and the SAME without the slightest difference between them. Then why should their devotees (Hindus and Muslims) quarrel amongst themselves? Instead, the two communities must come closer and act sanely to achieve Unity. It is neither good nor in their interest or welfare to fight, disputes, argue or emulate others. (Lokamanya B. G. Tilak, the Father of Indian Unrest, visited Shirdi and called on Him on May 19th, 1917 to consult Him about his future course of action in the Struggle for Independence. He was advised to take rest.) ** SAI BABA'S ASSURANCES TO HIS DEVOTEES and SELF-REALISATION My Method is unique. To get Self Realisation, DHYANA (meditation) is absolutely necessary. If practiced continuously, the thought processes (Vrittis) will be calmed. So become desireless and MEDITATE on the Lord within in all creatures. When the mind is thus concentrated, Self-Realisation will be attained. Always Meditate on My Formless Nirgun nature, which is Knowledge Incarnate, Consciousness and Bliss. If you cannot do this, meditate on My Sagun (physical) Form as you see Me here (in Shirdi) from the top to the toe (or in My Photo) every day and night. When this is done, your thought processes (Vrittis) will become ONE POINTED and the distinction between the Meditator (DHYATA), Meditation (DHYANA) and the object of Meditation (DHYETA) will fade away and the Meditator will be ONE in consciousness and will merge in SELF. MY devotees must strive to get Lord's Grace and Blessings, instead of struggling for necessities of life. For they will have plenty of food and clothing as I always care and provide for Welfare of My Devotees who devoutly worships Me with their Minds ever fixed on Me. With the Guru's Form firmly fixed in the mind and with the Mind and Senses thus fully absorbed in the worship (meditation) of the Lord, Me devotee must remember Me at all times so that his MIND will not be attracted to any other mundane things like Body, Wealth, Home or Worldly Honors nor wander elsewhere. The Mind will then become Calm, Peaceful and Carefree, which is the sole sign of merger with the Guru. A wandering Mind can neither merge nor get engaged in good company. If My Leelas (Stories & Teachings) are written about or devoutly sung and attentively listened to, Ignorance will vanish, awareness of the body will reduce and strong waves of Devotion and Love would arise. If one ' dives' deep into My Leelas, he will discover precious jewels of knowledge (Self Realisation) . No one truly understands what I say--My Sarkars Treasury (means Government, but here it refers to Lord's treasury) is full and overflowing. I say 'dig out¢ and take this wealth of knowledge in cart loads (truck full). The blessed son of a true Mother should fill himself with this 'wealth'. Skill of My Fakir (GOD), the Leela (work) of My Bhagawan (God) and the attitude of My Sarkar is quite UNIQUE. What about Me? My Body will mix with Earth, and my Breath with the Air. I will go somewhere, and sit some place. The hard Maya still troubles Me much. I always feel anxiety for My devotees. But one who does any Spiritual Endeavor will surely reap its fruits and one who remembers My Words will get invaluable Peace and Happiness. CHANTING GURU'S NAME Merely chanting or remembering Lord Hari's or Guru's Name can confer Self Realisation. Always chant 'SAI', 'SAI', shedding all cleverness, arrogance or egoism and brazenness to be FREE from all shackles. Only the fortunate few, free from blemish, take seriously to My Worship. Even if you merely chant 'SAI', 'SAI', I shall take you across the ocean. For I always drag My Devotee towards Me from far off places, or even across the seven seas like a sparrow heading to its nest with a string tied to its feet. Believe these words and you will certainly be benefited. My Worship needs no elaborate rituals like SADHANAS (Spiritual Practices). I only rest where there is full devotion and love. Even if you merely utter My Name with Love, I shall fulfill all your wishes and increase your devotion. But if you earnestly sing about My Leelas Deeds or spread My MESSAGE, you will merge in My Grace. Have Patience (Saburi) Faith (Shraddha) in Me. While attending to your worldly duties daily, the mind should THINK of the Sadguru and His Leelas and be blessed by Him. If the devotee has sincere complete Faith in Me, his Mind will MERGE with the Supreme Conscious. Even mere chanting of My Name as ¡Sai¢ will do away with the sins of speech and hearing. It will remove FEAR of the worldly existence and will lead you to the spiritual path regardless of your caste, creed, or class. Without God's Grace, there is no desire or even urge to listen to the Saint's stories. But with God's Grace everything is smooth and easy. Hearing these stories, one keeps company of the Saints that helps one become less conscious of one's body or its problems. It cuts asunder all attachments, destroying cycles of births and deaths and lifts one up to God who is pure Consciousness. In turn, detachment to the sense objects is increased, which makes one indifferent to the Pleasure or Pain and leads to Spiritual Path. If you take refuge in the Saints without any reservations, you will be carried off safely across the Ocean of Worldly Existence. My sincere devotees shall always be saved or pulled out even from the jaws of Death. I run to help My Devotees in times of danger. All diseases shall vanish when My Leelas (Stories Teachings) are listened to respectfully, assimilated and meditate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
