Sri Sai Satcharitha - Precious Pearls

[Guest guest]

Precious PearlsSri Sai Satcharitha is a beautiful gem studded necklace ever shining and radiant with Sri Sai's teachings and with every gem carved and decorated in its own intricate style. Sri Sai gave his teachings in a very concise and metaphorical way. In Sai Satcharitha Sri Hemad pant wrote about the futility of idle gossip and how Sai warned us against it. Gossip means to tell rumors to people or personal facts about other people in a malicious way. Sri Sai chided the lawyer who partook in the criticism of the local court judge. The lawyer talked about this to Dikshit, "It was his grace to teach me that futile debates, and discussions, scornful, critical reviling, and such wicked

thoughts about anyone, should be given up." Further, Sri Hemad pant wrote that, in every sense and every way this advice is equally instructive for all. In another story, Sri Sai metaphorically compared a village sow feasting on the excreta of public to the devotee who busied himself in criticizing and abusing others. Sri Sai said," He who fritters away this precious human birth and bent on self destruction, to such a one, what happiness or peace can this Shirdi give?" Gossip should not become into a mode of entertainment to group people together. To get rid of the gossiping is a very demanding process for the people who gossip. Nevertheless, the grace of Sri Sai and the sincere devotion towards him would always bring the change for good in one's heart. By avoiding this habit of gossiping, one feels more peace and integrity in the heart.

Let your tongue loose, you are in every trouble. Control your tongue you are beyond trouble. The best form of worship to Sri Sai is our sincere attempts to follow his teachings. As told by Sri Sai, "You look to me .I look to you."Jai Sai RamSwamy MahadevanBow to Shri Sai-Peace be to allBaba Bless you ever!!!
