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..)
