*We Need Sri Sai Baba's Direction*

One day a traveler in a remote country town, realized that he was on the

wrong road, came to a halt in a village. Calling one of the villagers to the

car window, he said, " Friend, I need help. I'm lost. "

 

The villager looked at him for a moment. " Do you know where you are? " he

asked.

" Yes, " said the traveler. " I saw the name of your town as I entered. "

 

The man nodded his head, " Do you know where you want to be? "

" Yes, " the traveler replied.

 

" You're not lost, " he said, " you just need directions. "

 

Many of us are in the same position as that traveler. We know where we are

sometimes disappointed, dissatisfied and experiencing a little or no peace

of mind. And we know where we want to be.

 

Like the traveler, we are not lost- we just need directions. Sri Sai Baba

narrated the condition of such persons in *Shri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.35*, but

he took on needless anxieties and burdens and wandered hither and thither,

thus losing his peace of mind. Sometimes, he dropped the burdens and at

other times carried them again. His mind knew no steadiness. On seeing his

state, I took pity on him " and Sri Sai Baba assured him " There is no

difficulty. The guide will take you straight to your destination. *[shri Sai

Satcharitra Ch.2]*

 

With Sri Sai Baba, it doesn't take much to find the high road to success,

but to reach it, you need an agenda for the present, let us consider Sri Sai

Baba’s agenda, " Make Me the sole object of your thoughts and actions and you

will, no doubt, attain the spiritual goal of life. *[shri Sai Satcharitra

Ch.18,19]*. And Sri Sai Baba’s directions for us is " Leave off all

cleverness, and always remember " Sri Sai " " Sri Sai " . If you did that, all

your shackles would be removed and you would be free.* [shri Sai Satcharitra

Ch.10] " *

 

Still you need some other directions, " There are many ways leading there;

there is one way from here [shirdi] also. *[shri Sai Satcharitra Ch.2] " * It

is up to you to choose which direction to follow.
