10thIf you seek my advice and help it shall be given to you at once'

[Guest guest]

Baba has done great favour to Hamed Panth. It is full and eternal by the

grace of Baba. Till 1929, Panth, was able to run the Sansthan of Baba

efficiently, skillfully and successfully. The welfare of Panth and his

family was taken care of by Baba. This is the type of help we must seek

to get from Baba.

 

Ordinary devotees of Baba request him for a house, if they do not own

one. They ask him for a job, if they don't have it. Then request him for

marriage, if they are still unmarried. They request him for children, if

they don't have them.

 

Sai Baba does not say that we should not ask for them. There is nothing

wrong if we ask for them. We are like the children of Baba. If not the

father, who else will know and fulfil the needs of their children?

 

Sadhus, saints, sages, spiritual sadhakas and true devotees request for

the following and Baba grants them.

1. Oh lord! Sai Nath, you are present everywhere in all bodies and

in all the five elements. Your presence in them all is equal and

invisible. Any thing may perish but you are permanent and imperishable.

You are the eternal Parameshwara. Please remove all impediments so that

we can fully keep our minds on you without diversion. Please see to it

that our devotion is sweet loving and sublime without any diversion.

2. Please give us inward vision and bless us with your love.

3. Please grant us the ability and determination to see the Self with

concentration.

4. Please take our minds away from the world and keep them turned

towards you.

5. Please give us the firm desire for liberation.

6. We don't know what is good and auspicious for us. Please decide

what is best for us and give it to us.

7. Give us the strength and good fortune to perform our duties without

expectation of any reward,

8. We request you to guide us always, staying with us as a sadguru in

the form of Sai Baba.

9. Please remove all obstacles on our way to the goal,

self-realization.

10. Without the grace of Guru, no success is possible; please look after

our welfare by extending your kind looks towards us.

11. Please enable us to meditate on you, recite your name, sing your

glory, worship you, read your story repeatedly, serve you and adore you.

12. You make us highly indebted to you. The you cannot but grant us

Moksha or liberation. You have to give us salvation.

(to be contd..)
