Pls open doors for me so I can do the necessary for avoiding troubles and having peace and harmony in life. You have made it possible for me to learn what I need to do, but somehow seems the doors are just closed for me to take some steps towards what needs to be done or things are just too slow or not in approach.
Baba I pray to you today v sincerely, pls let there be opportunities day to day so I can do something abt what I have learnt. Bab you can do anything, pls give me a chance.

Anju Bahen why? Why so dishearten? HE is THERE always THERE to help you!
BABA SAI used to say that if you take one step towards ME, I will take ten steps towards you but I will say HE will take thousand steps towards you. But if you don't take even one step -- and that one step is very necessary because until and unless you give HIM the invitation, how is HE going to come? Even if HE wants to come, how is HE to come? In spite of your not inviting HIM, not asking HIM to come, if HE comes to you, your doors will be closed. Even if HE knocks you will think that it is the mind. Even if HE calls you loudly you will not be able to hear HIM because of your inner turmoil.
Anju dear I will say to play always cool and try to develop THAT Faith.....for which MY BABA SAI is waiting for to give.

Dear Sister Anju,
Ramesh Bhai is as usual awesome.The one step forward is your sincere efforts.When we do what is possible by us,Baba will do what is not possible by us.
As Ramesh Bhai says,keep your cool,have faith and put your efforts sincerely. Accept with humility whatever Baba gives you.
Believe him and he will always guide you right.

Anju, dear sister, in German we have a very casual saying that goes: The impossible is done at once, miracles take a little longer.
So maybe BABA is preparing HIS very special miracle for you. What you can do while HE's busy: lean back on your S & S and start counting your blessings. Take a moment every day and think of something good HE gave you, no matter when or better still of something good HE gave you on that particular day ... and then simply watch the miracle unfold.

The Upanishads are not against the senses. They are spiritually sensuous; they do not deny. Denial is not their slogan at all, denial is not their attitude.
They accept and they say that even in the senses the divine is moving because there is nothing else to move. They make everything sacred, they make everything holy. They do not condemn, they do not say this is sin. Sin is unknown to the Upanishads, absolutely unknown. They say there is no sin -- that everything is a play. Even in sin, even in the sinner, the same energy is moving.
Everything becomes holy. And if you can say with your full heart that everything is holy, holy, holy, YOU will become holy immediately because the very feeling that everything is holy and sacred makes the sin disappear. Sin is created by condemnation and the more you condemn, the more sinners you create.
The whole world has become a great crowd of sinners because everything has been condemned -- everything! There is not a single thing which you can do which has not been condemned by someone or other. With everything condemned, you become a sinner. Then guilt arises -- and when there is guilt you can pray but the prayer is poisonous; it comes out of your guilt. When you are guilty you can pray but that prayer is based on fear. That prayer is not love; it cannot be. Through guilt love is impossible. Feeling yourself condemned, a sinner, how can you love?
The Upanishads say that everything is holy because HE is the source of all. Whether or not the river looks dirty to you is irrelevant.
HE is the source of all -- the dirty river and the sacred Ganges, to both HE gives the energy. To the sinner to the saint, HE gives the energy.
HE created the saint and then HE became the sinner and then the hide-and-seek....
Have total acceptance of whatsoever exists. Just by being in existence, it is holy.
IT -- THE ATMAN, or the Brahman -- IS THE EAR OF THE EAR, THE MIND OF THE MIND, THE SPEECH OF THE SPEECH, THE PRANA OF THE PRANA, AND THE EYE OF THE EYE. WISE MEN SEPARATING THE ATMAN FROM THESE -- SENSE FUNCTIONS -- RISE OUT OF SENSE LIFE AND ATTAIN TO IMMORTALITY.
Whatsoever you do it is HIM -- it is the functioning of HIM, of the total. The total functions in you.

Let me try to extract the gist of it, dearest sister Anju, as far as I may be able to with the tiny little bit of understanding I may have got:
Simply don't judge! Let the divine in you act and direct your actions at the divine in others. Then there will be nothing but love and the holiness in everything shows. Divinity which is already there will be fully attained.
Sin is a concept invented and used to induce guilty feelings in people. But guilty feelings get us no-where, only farther away from God. If I say "I'm a sinner" this means, I separate myself from God. By calling myself a sinner I unconsciously imply that here is me, the sinner, and there is God, the pure, the holy. THIS IS NOT SO! GOD IS RIGHT HERE!
God is inside me, HE is inside you, HE is inside every living being, from humans to animals to plants and minerals. He is inside the senses, too. Divinity is inside us and all around us, not in some far-off heaven.
This is why everything is holy.
So shift your focus from the concept of sin to the reality of holiness - discover the holy, God, in everything and act from there and towards there. And the concept of sin will vanish completely from your mind.
And more than that: Shifting your focus will also make you discover who and what you truly are - divine, immortal!
Thus you will be fully in this world - but not of this world.
Hope, this was somewhere near the essence of what beloved Ramesh Bhai posted. And also hope, this was a little bit of a help to you.

Thank you sister Astrid and thank you Ramesh Bhai..I sort of understand, very nice of you to post something like this. We really need to understand and live in reality of holiness rather than fretting about committed sins and thinking and doing sins.
May Baba bless you plenty.

Anju ji I will give you something more on Shifting of your Focus as our beloved Sister Astrid has pointed out to.
As we all know that there are only two directions the energy can move -- misery and bliss. First move it towards misery so you are finished with misery, and then move it towards happiness. And after misery it is very simple to move towards bliss.
The misery becomes the background and it helps like a blackboard. Whatsoever white lines you draw on it, they show perfectly clearly. You can draw those white lines on a white wall, but they won't show. Hell is needed to experience heaven.
Darkness is needed to see the stars. They are here and there in the day also... they don't go anywhere, but you cannot see because darkness is not there; the background is not there. The right situation is not there. In the night as darkness descends, stars start appearing. They are already there, waiting for the darkness to come; darkness reveals them.
So first create misery, anguish, and then shift immediately towards happiness. It is just as if you have been feeling hungry and you have been fasting for a few days, and then suddenly delicious food is served to you. You have an appetite. If you are full, even delicious food not delicious at all; it may even give nausea.
So a person who really enjoys food needs fasting.
At least for a few hours he has to fast, otherwise he cannot enjoy food. If you go on eating the whole day, you are finished; there will be no appetite for food.
So remember always the law of the contraries: if you want to enjoy food, fast. If you want to enjoy love, fast. If you want to enjoy relaxation, work. If you really want to be blissful, create hell. This is one thing....
And the other thing to be remembered: when you create something, you remain the master. When you can shift so easily from hell to heaven, suddenly you will have a tremendous power; you will feel it. Immediately you will feel, 'I am the master. I can shift from suffering to bliss very easily -- just like changing a gear in a car.'
First do it in imagination, then some day try it in reality. Some day you are feeling miserable. Feel miserable -- let that be the opportunity. Go deep... sink deep into it... Let it exhaust you. Then immediately change to happiness. First try it in imagination, because it is all imagination. When you are really suffering, then too it is imagination. So if you are capable of changing in imagination, you are capable of changing in reality also because reality is nothing but your imagination. You make it so, that's why it is so. As a man thinketh, he creates the world.
You can move both ways. Sometimes you are feeling very happy; shift the gear and become unhappy. And see, you can do it. Once you know that you can do it, you are free of the mind, gone beyond. Now the mind cannot control you. Now you know that the mind is a mechanism, and the gear is in your hand. You will feel a tremendous release of power within you. Then nobody can make you miserable. You can laugh even in hell -- nobody can prevent you. Try it.

Anju dear something more related to life. Life is a river, a flow, a continuum, with no beginning and no end. It is not going somewhere, it is always here. It is not going from somewhere to somewhere else, it is always coming from here to here. The only time for life is now, and the only place is here.
There is no struggle to reach, there is nothing to reach. There is no struggle to conquer, there is nothing to conquer. There is no effort to protect, because there is nothing to be protected from. Only life exists, alone, absolutely alone, beautiful in its aloneness, majestic in its aloneness.
You can live life in two ways: you can flow with it -- then you are also majestic, you have a grace, grace of non-violence, no conflict, no struggle, then you have a beauty, childlike, flower-like, soft, delicate, uncorrupted. If you flow with life you are religious. That's what religion means.
Two possibilities are there. You can fight with life, you can have your private goals against life -- and all goals are private, all goals are personal, you are trying to impose a pattern on life, something of your own; you are trying to drag the life to follow you, and you are just a tiny part, infinitesimal, so small, so atomic, and you are trying to drag the whole universe with you. Of course you are bound to be defeated. You are bound to lose your grace, you are bound to become hard.
Fighting creates hardness. Just think of fight, and a subtle hardness comes around you; just think of resisting, and a crust arises around you which covers you like a cocoon.
The other way is to flow with the river, flow so together with it that you don't feel even the separation -- that you are separate and flowing with it. No you become part, not only part, you are immersed in it, you have become the river, there exists no separation. When you are not fighting, you become life. When you are not fighting you have become the vast, the infinite. When you are not fighting, that state has been known as surrender; trust, what is called SHRADDHA; trusting life, not trusting your individual mind, but trusting the whole. Not trusting the part, but the whole.
Surrendered, suddenly you become soft, because then there is no need to be hard, you are not fighting, there is no enmity, there is no need to protect, you are already merged with life.
It simply arises because you are. It simply bubbles up within you just because you are. Once you are open, flowing with life, you are bubbling with joy continuously. For no reason at all! You simply start feeling that to BE is to be happy.

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."
MAY BABA SAI BLESS THOSE WHO DON'T REMEMBER THIS BASIC PRINCIPLE OF LIFE.........

Anju my beloved sister HIS doors of LOVE are always open. HE never keep HIS Doors closed. But people are very closed to love. They don't invite love towards themselves, and even if love comes they remain closed. And love comes, love comes in a thousand and one ways -- it knocks continuously on your doors -- but people are very much afraid of love; they don't invite it in. The fear is that love is a very overwhelming experience. You lose control in love, you are no more the master in love. When love is there you are just a slave; when love is there you are reduced to nothingness. When love is present you become absent; that is the fear. The ego is very very apprehensive about love so any sign of love coming close and the ego immediately closes all doors, all windows, all possibilities; the ego protects itself against love.
Love seems to be like a death to the ego.
But then you feel suffocated, then you feel starved, because without love there is no nourishment for the soul, and without love there is no fresh wind coming in, no sun-rays coming in. Without love you live in a grave. The ego can protect itself against love but then life becomes just a suffocation, a misery, a hell. But people are so unintelligent that they choose to live in a hell rather than sacrificing the ego. And to sacrifice the ego is nothing because it is just a shadow, an idea.
... When love knocks on the door, open your doors, invite love in. Let the love become your guest and you be the host, and it will transform you! It will take you into a totally different world. Every knock of love is in a subtle way the knock of god. To reject love is to reject god; to accept love is to accept god. A loving person is a religious person, and if you can accept love, only then can you give it to others. If you cannot accept you cannot give either; they both go together like incoming breath and outgoing breath.
If you don't inhale how will you exhale? What will you exhale? First the inhalation has to come; your lungs have to be full of air, then you can exhale. Your soul has to be full of love, then you can exhale. So the person who accepts love is the person who is capable of giving it to others. They are two aspects of the same event, like incoming breath and outgoing breath.
So love has to become your religion. Love is really the religion. Live in love and forget all other theologies and gods and churches and temples. Live in love and forget all philosophies! And that's more than enough. It will take you to the ultimate destiny of life.

Common Question of all and answer to some......HIS Hidden message for all.....
When you love, do it because you want to. There is indescribable joy in loving. Just give it. And cherish the satisfaction in having given someone something of yourself. It's like giving a gift. Whether it is appreciated or not, find joy in simply giving.
Love without expecting anything in return.
Now this is where pain comes in: when you demand something in return for the love you give. You are actually setting yourself up for disappointment because love cannot always be reciprocal. Love between two people can never be of the same intensity at the same time and place. No matter how much your partner loves you, he will never be able to fill all your needs all the time. And you are worst off if you believe you should love only when you are sure to receive equal love in return. Sad to say, you will be waiting in misery forever.
Love now.
The past is gone and the future is just a dream. All of yesterday's aches and pains, even the joys and laughter, are mere memories. Let them go. And your fantasies and worries? They may never come. So why dwell on them? Live now. Give love now. Do it now and enjoy the moment. That is the secret of inner contentment.
Throw away those destructive habits.
When you insist upon yourself that you always have to be in control, that you always have to be right, that others must always please you, you mould unreasonable expectations of yourself and the ones you love. Loving relationships are flexible, dynamic, and evolving. Give room for change and interaction. Allow for new behavior and learning experiences. When we welcome these into our lives, we open ourselves up to love and affection rather than anger and frustration.
Yes, you will say that unconditional love is easier said than done. Especially when we have always believed that love is give and take. Try believing that love is simply giving. They say “Give until it hurts”. Let’s say “Love until it hurts no more”.

Some people brought a woman to Jesus and they said, "She has committed adultery, so she has to be killed.
And this has been the law -- to kill her with stones, by throwing stones at her."
Jesus said, "The law is true, but only those persons can throw stones at her who have not committed adultery ever -- not even in the mind. So come forward only those persons who have not committed adultery, actually or in imagination."
The crowd had stones; they were standing ready to kill her. But now people started dispersing because there was no one who had not committed adultery in the mind.
Finally, Jesus and the woman were left. The crowd had dispersed. The woman said, "I have done wrong! I am guilty, punish me."
But Jesus said, "Who am I to punish you? Who am I to punish you or condemn you? It is between you and your God."
This is the attitude of the religious man: no condemnation. Who are you to condemn? -- you who are self-appointed, unnecessarily creating problems for yourself and others! And do not deny. Denial goes deep: you deny your body, you deny your senses, you deny everything. You have become a great denier. And then, when you become suffocated, you cry and you say, "Why this anguish? Why this misery?" This misery is created by you. A person who goes on denying everything will become more and more shrunken, frozen inside. He cannot do anything: everything is wrong. He cannot eat this, he cannot love in this way, he cannot move in this way, he cannot do this or that.
Only cannots and cannots all around him -- denials and denials. Then life becomes suffocated. Then you feel miserable.
This is one of the most revolutionary sayings ever uttered -- that there should be no denial at all: "Let there be no denial at least on my part." This goes even deeper. Look at the beauty of it. There is every possibility that if I say to you, "Do not deny," and someone denies, you will deny him. Why are YOU denying? If I say, "Do not condemn" and someone condemns, you will condemn him. The mind goes on playing tricks. In new shapes it brings back all the old diseases again and again.
