Thus spoke My Guru Shirdi Sai Baba:
Believe Me, though, I may pass away, My bones in My grave
will give you Hope and Confidence. Not only Myself but My Tomb
would be speaking and communicating with all those who
surrender themselves wholeheartedly to Me.
Do not be anxious even if I am not present here in Sagun (physical)
Form. (Death: Dassera Day, l5th October, l9l8). You will hear from
My Bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But always remember
Me. Believe in Me in heart and soul and then you will be greatly
benefited.
Whatever happens, never DESERT your Guru, but you should always
remain steady with Him. Always remember that your Guru's loving
glance gives you HAPPINESS.
Never try to get any Mantra from any one, but make Your Guru the
sole Object of your thoughts (meditations) and actions and you will
no doubt attain 'PARAMARTHA.'
Look at Me with sincere Devotion and I, in turn, look at you
likewise.
Sitting in this Masjid (Sai's dwelling place), I speak the truth &
nothing but the TRUTH. Have FAITH & CONFIDENCE in your Guru and know
well that He is the Sole Actor or Doer.
BLESSED is the one who knows and recognizes the Greatness of His
Guru and thinks of Him to be Hari, Hara & Brahmah Incarnate (
Trinity of Gods).
PATIENCE is the mine of Virtues and Consort of Good Thoughts. FAITH
(Shraddha or Nishta) and PATIENCE (Saburi) are like the Twin Sisters
loving each other very intimately.
PATIENCE can ferry you across the sea of mundane existence and can
remove all sins, afflictions and get rid of calamities in various
ways, besides casting aside all fears ultimately making for success.
There are innumerable Saints in this World but your Guru is the Real
Guru, whose Message must never be forgotten when good messages are
received from other Saints.
Bhagwad Geeta ) says disciple must completely
Surrender Body, Mind and Wealth to the Guru to attain
self- realization.
Love your Guru with all your heart and surrender & prostrate before
Him with reverence; then there will be no sea of Mundane Existence to
cross over Just as there is no darkness before the Sun.
All Sadhanas ( Spiritual Practices like Tapa--penance , Yoga
practices Or studying sacred scriptures) are not just enough to
attain self-realisation unless accompanied by BHAKTI (Devotion).
Knowledge of Vedas or Great Jnani's reputation or mere formal Bhajan
can achieve NOTHING without a firm Devotion (Bhakti).
Do not retaliate even if someone does any evil. If you must do
anything, do some good unto others.
God lives in ALL BEINGS as well as in all Creatures, be they serpents
Or scorpions. He is the Great Wire-puller of the World and all beings
and creatures merely obey His Commands.
Unless He WILLS it, no one can do any harm to anybody. The whole
world is dependent on Him and no one is independent. So take pity on
or love His Creatures, leave aside adventurous fights or killings and
be patient. The Lord is the PROTECTOR of all.
One who loves Me intensely, always sees Me. To him this world is a
desert without Me. I lead him to Self-Realisation. For I am dependent
on him who thinks and hungers only after Me or who does not eat
even a morsel of food without first offering it to Me.
Such a sincere devotee merges in Me like a river merging into a sea.
So shake off any trace of pride or egoism, and surrender yourself to
Me, who is always seated in your heart.
Do you always remember Me before meals ? Am I not ALWAYS with you ?
Then do you offer Me everything before you eat ?
Lord Hari would be very pleased with you if you give water to the
THIRSTY, bread to the HUNGRY!
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!
Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.
