Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Chapter 38 Baba's Handi - Disrespect of Shrine - Kala or Hodge-Podge - Cup of Butter-Milk.Baba's HandiOf all the charities, giving food is the best one. We are much perturbed when we get no food at noon. Other beings feel similarly under similar circumstances. Knowing this, he who gives food to the poor and hungry, is the best donor or charitable person.The Taittiriya Upanishad says that "Food is Brahma; "FROM FOOD ALL THE CREATURES ARE BORN & HAVING BEEN BORN, BY FOOD THEY LIVE & HAVING DEPARTED INTO FOOD AGAIN THEY ENTER ".When an Atithi (uninvited guest) comes to our door at noon, it is our bounden duty to welcome him by giving him food. Other kinds of charities, viz., giving away wealth, property and clothes etc., require some discrimination, but in the matter of food, no such consideration is necessary.Let anybody come to our door at noon, he should be served forthwith; and if lame, crippled, blind and diseased paupers come, they should be fed first and the able-bodied persons and our relations afterwards. The merit of feeding the former is much greater than that of feeding the latter. Other kinds of charities are imperfect without this Anna-dana (giving of food).Download:Telugu Sai Satcharitra :Audio:Chapter 38.© Shirdi Sai Baba Bhajans and Songs -- Posted By Manisha.Rautela.Bisht to Shirdi Sai Baba Bhajans and Songs. at 3/02/2010 06:35:00 AM Sairam Baba Guide us all,At the feet of my Sathguru Sai BabaBaba's blessing are every where Manisha.Rautela.Bisht~Visit Shirdi Sai Baba Blogs~http://www..org http://www.shirdisaibabatemples.org http://www.saibababhajans.com http://shirdisaibabatamilstories.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
