Shirdi Wale Saibaba-Frequently Asked Questions?

[SS91]

While treading the path towards Baba if man feels surrounded by despair ,what should he do about it?

I have said in one of my poems -"Jab Dil Udaas ho to Sai ka naam lena" i.e "When one feels depressed at times ,while facing the pain and miseries of life.But ,if such feeling of pain and misery is true ,so is the feeling of pain and misery is true , so is the feeling of joy and bliss too.One should see Sai in both the situation.In happiness without wasting too much time rejoicing if we help others in getting the same happiness in Baba's name or work for the cause of Baba then the happiness that we derive will be more lasting .Physical happiness is momentory and once it is gone it brings sorrow as mind has a tendency to ask for the same or more happiness always which is not possible in human life.Whenever you are in sorrowful situation remember Baba's words."See what comes next".Keeping in touch with Baba internally and thinking of Him reduce sorrow.By reading Sai Satcharitra ,by singing Baba's bhajan s the sorrow gets certainly lessened.In bad times one must read about Baba as much as one can,meditate on Him,chant His name ,sing His devotional songs and help other people who are undergoing pain and misery.
