Message 1
Delivered by BABA to  Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 3rd November 1952

"The stars are shining. The sky is clear. The sea is murmuring, as its
waters ebb and flow in rhythmic motion. There is a deep silence, stealing
its way and casting its mantle on the whole panorama of nature hushed in
sleep and rest. There is glamour in the landscape; there is beauty in the moon,
as it rises in all around. In this exquisite quietness of nature and in the still silence
of the night, what invisible work is being done? He alone seeks to greet those
who silently worship Him in the temple of their hearts, enkindling their souls with
the fire of His spirit. Silence is the language of the universe. Seek silence in the silent
night and the fire and flash of His spirit would girdle you in all their transcendent glory."

FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT!
Delivered by BABA to  Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 4th November 1952


"Man is a weary traveller on the earth plane. There is a load on his back and his
mind is shrouded with thoughts of fear and frustration. Footsore and heartsore,
he drags on for he knows not his destiny. Bound in ignorance, he makes himself
his God and worsens his lot as he treks his way in the wilderness of dried up
hopes and frustrated designs. Selfishness and sin drag him into an endless
chain of misery and suffering. Caught in the snare of Maya, he losses sight
of the reality and sinks deeper and deeper in to the pit of moral degradation.
It is only when the sting of conscience bites him and remorse takes hold of him,
he seeks freedom from his enslavement. Remorse and repentance opens a new
way to life. Behold, his ways are changed. There isn't any cloud of darkness on
his face. He awakens to a new consciousness and is seized with a new force.
It is the force of the spirit, which the sting of conscience has awakened and
liberated. No longer a weary traveller, but a bright soldier, he forces his way
and knows the destined goal that awaits him.

Not sin by virtue; not self but selflessness; not desire but desirelessness;
not pride but egolessness; not greed but renunciation; he knows now, as
constituting his armour in the battle of life. Fortified in this manner, with
burning love and devotion of God, he seeks the path of spiritual victory.
He vanquishes his foe by self- mastery and wins the goal- God's own
kingdom of Light and Eternal Bliss."

Sai Ram. Thankyou for sharing these nectarine Sai baba messages.
These messages completely guide us to the correct path of life, without hiding anything.

e.g. look at the sentence in red above..
If we look at the state of the world, we see that people in the world

1. engage in lot of sin
2. they engage in selfishness
3. they are highly desireful
4. they have lot of ego
5. they are utmost greedy

All this due to want of spiritual knowledge & knowledge does not come without doing good deeds. Thus it is a vicious circle. There is no hope for these jeevas.

Only Saints being merciful, reform even the sin-doing people. Hence just as only trees, emit oxygen, which sustains life, like that only saints supply the path for reformation. In the absence of saints, human race will become extinct under the load of sin.

Message- 3
Evil Has No Rigid Place In God's Universe!
Delivered by BABA to  Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 5th November 1952

Life is a tussle between a tear and a smile. Don't think of your tears, but wipe
the tears of others. Forget your own sorrow but ever keep in mind the suffering
of others. Kiss those who hit you and love those who hate you. Sweeten the
path of sorrow with the warmth of your heart, the fire of your soul, the kiss
of your spirit. Why fume and fret and be frustrated? Every load you carry, every
harsh word you hear, the taunts and sallies of the wicked world- they are your
friends, not foes, for they redeem your soul and take you to God.Forget the evil
doer and forgive him.Let not the fire of hatred burn in your heart. Replace it with
the warmth of your love.

Be gentle as a dove, but stiff as rhinoceros, when you come to bay in your fight
against unrighteousness. Forgive the evildoer but annihilate evil with the
sledgehammer of virtue and piety. Be an angel in the garb of man and spread
God's love and light with all the fire of your soul and spirit.Virtue shall triumph
for it is the will of God. Evil shall be annihilated for it has no place in the
evolution of God's universe.

Message- 4
Renunciation Is The Essence Of Spirituality!
Delivered by BABA to  Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 6th November 1952


"Think of the indwelling spirit and not the body which is frail and subject to decay.
It is spirit alone which is eternal, all else is ephemeral and transitory. Bodily
 indulgence is an obstacle to spiritual growth and progress. Care should be
taken of the body for it is the temple of the soul, but in no case bodily enjoyment
should be mistaken for spirituality. The body, the senses and the mind are to be
curbed in order to cut asunder the inner sheets which cover the soul and make
it a prisoner.

Renunciation is the essence of spirituality. Annihilate all desires and kill the ego
in you. Be sturdy and strong like the oak tree in the jungle and stand fast against
all tempests of temptations. Listen to the voice of conscience for it is your best
inward monitor.

Work and worship go together. Work is the essence of life, but it should not be
for the purpose of enjoying the fruit of your labour. The labourer seeks his hire,
but the true yogi discards it. He works for the sake of the work; to spread
God's love and light and not for his selfish gain. He works in the name of God,
for the growth of his spirit and not for the satisfaction of his carnal desires.
Work is worship; when it is consecrated and dedicated to God. Be a karma yogi
by keeping the fire of love and devotion for God burning in you all the time."

Religion Is The soul's Nourishment!
Delivered by BABA to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 7th November 1952

No man can live without religion. It is the vital part of his life. It is tha living water,
which no person can afford to miss. It is the soul's nourishment. It is the gateway to higher
and better life. It is the discarder of man's ignorance, for however learned he may be in material
science, if he disowns God and the hereafter, he is the most to be pitied for his gross ignorance.

Religion binds the soul to God. It is immaterial in which religion a man may be born. He must
have the main sense of religion.That is he must know the purpose and goal of life and act
according to the scriptures of the world. All scriptures are alike in their teachings on cardinal points.

Remain true to your self and work your way to spiritual heights discarding all that is gross
and carnal. Make God alone the target and goal in your life. Ponder on Him alone and none
else. He is the alchemy of your life, the apex of your aspirations. Bank your faith on God.
He alone would pull you from the morass of life and crown you with success.

Message- 6
God Knows No Language Except Of The Heart, Soul And Spirit
Delivered by BABA to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 8th November 1952

Build a temple of worship in your heart. God responds to prayers that emanate
from the heart and not from the lip. Seek God with all the warmth of your soul,
heart and mind. God knows no language except of the heart. Immerse your
mind in God. Kndle your heart and enflame your soul with the fire of the spirit
with in you. Make God the bedrock of your faith, the bulwark of your life, the
target of your goal. Whosoever worships Him with the fullness of his heart
awakens to a new consciousness. It is the consciousness of the spirit within
man, struggling to win union with the Absolute.

This awakening of consciousness brings in its wake a larger life, full of
understanding of the higher values so essential for establishment of peace
and harmony on the terrestrial plane.

Like the fruit that falls on the ground when it is ripe, the soul seeks its level,
when it becomes ripe for its flight from the imprisonment of the body.

Souls is spirit. It is full of life and fire. Body is wooden. It is subject to decay
and death. Guard the soul by discarding the body. Let the soul triumph and
not your body, for in the triumph of the soul is your ultimate salvation and
attainment of Eternal Bliss.

Peace, Harmony, Love- These Form The Rhythm Of Life
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 9th November 1952

Peace, Love, Harmony-these form the rhythm of life. They are the vibrant factors which
promote happiness. Peace is the antagtonist of discord, war, hatred and bitterness of feeling. Discard
all that is bitter in your heart, forgetting and forgiving all those who do evil in life. No man can live in
peace unless he makes virtue his spouse and unselfishness his comrade in life.

Peace is the harbinger of love and love is the most sacred element in man. It is divine nectar. It is the
soul of divinity, the parent of all virtures, the source of true happiness. Keep the fire of love burning in
your heart. Love all, without distinction. Life is divine comradeship. It is the light of truth. It is the pattern
on which God has woven His whole universe for the happiness and bliss of all creatures.

Make your life a book of love, end to end. Let every page and every line be the mirror of God, reflecting
His beauty, His mercy,His grace,His gentility,and above all, His great love which lightens the forces in the
universe,harmonizing all life, which is one. Love begets Love. Love your neighbour as you love yourself
and God will love you with a treble force. Make love the cornerstone of your life, the foundation of the
whole edifice, the fulcrum of all your activities, the symbol of your perfection.

Who Is A Superman?
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
on 10th November 1952


Who is a Superman? He who, like a warrior in the battle of life, puts on the armour
of righteousness and raises an eternal fight against all the demons of vices and
comes out victorious. It is he who, disregarding his own personal interests, dedicates
his life to God and all mankind, whom he serves with a singular aim and in the spirit of
complete self-abnegation. It is he who enshrines in his heart love for God and all persons,
without any distinction. It is he whose mission is to spread God's Gospel of love and harmony,
peace and beautitude. It is he who, fearless of all consequences, waits on no man, but
seeks his own way and is never daunted by the arrows of calumny and insipid lies. His
banner is Truth;his gospel is love, the light of wisdom shines from his eyes. His mind is
ever alert to help every cause for the good of all mankind. He seeks no patronage. The
poor are his friends. He is God's own chosen son to spread His message of love and to
show the goal of life to every human soul.

Such a man with super abundant powers and gifts to bring about a spiritual revolution and
reformation of unique type-such as he is a Superman.

Self-Effacement
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 11th November 1952

Self-effacement is the flower of perfection. Egotism is the bane of life.
It is the devil in man, masquerading as Virtue. It is the negation of life of the spirit.
It is the monarch of ignorance. It leads to strifes, animosities, vulgarities, insipid
strivings and vainglory. Discard the ego and be humble in life. Humility is the crown
and sceptre of wisdom. It is the badge of spirituality.

If you wish to rise and reach the higher steps in the ladder of spirituality, discard
the trappings of the ego and seek God and God alone and not the applause of your
vile and wicked world. Self-effacement is the garment woven in the fabric of humility.
It is worn by those who love God in purity of heart and soul.

What Is The Goal Of Life?
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 12th November 1952

What is the goal of life? Very few raises this question. Many slumber in darkness.
The objective of life is not the pursuit of physical pleasures, the true object of life
is God. Seek Him in the inner cave of your heart. Worship Him with all the fire of your
heart's devotion. An ounce of godliness is worth more than million tons of righteous
possessions and gains. Truth alone will survive. It is eternal, for Truth is God and
God is Truth.

Righteousness- The Most Potent Factor In Life
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 13th November 1952


Virtue is the immortal part of man. Lead a life of virtue and you will gain immortality.
No man gain access to God unless he loves, adores and worships God, dressed in
humility and bedecked with the feathures of virtue.

Righteousness is the most potent factor in life. It is the axle on which the wheel
of the chariot moves and takes you to the Abode of God. It is the parent of all
virtues- love and gentility, purity, and serenity, tolerance and forbearance, charity
and selflessness. If these be added,self-effacement, sacrifice,sincerity, self-surrender
to the will of God and utter renunciation of all desires and disregard for all earthly
attachments and enjoyments, the way to God-realisation becomes easier and possible.
The path for the traveller to the goal is narrow and thorny but it is the safest for him
to choose. For broader the path, more difficult it becomes as the traveller goes
along and it leads not to the goal.

Seek eternity. Be not baffled by the tempests of life. Be not seduced by the gaities
of life. Seek God in all earnestness,in all purity of heart and He will lead you to your goal.

Gain Mastery Of The Soul And Mind
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 14th November 1952

Mankind has abolished the system of slavery but your world is still full of persons
who lead a slavish life. They are slaves to their senses. So long as man does not
gain mastery of his soul and mind, he shall be construed as a slave. To err is human
but to continue in the muddle of errors is disastrous. He must rise every time he falls
and make a bid for freedom of his soul from the entanglements of earthly desires.

Abandonment of desire is renunciation and without renunciation the goal of life can
not be reached. He must practise renunciation, living in the world, for to abandon the
world all together is neither easy nor quite desirable. He must be a Yogi in spirit and
in truth and he will realise God, whether he practises renunciation, living in the midst
of life's giddy ways or in the solitude of the wilderness.

Break The Chain Of Maya With The Hammer Of Self-Consciousness
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 15th November 1952

God's laws are just and indissoluble. He blends mercy with justice for He loves to
be kind to all His creatures. But loving and kind as He is, no one can escape the
consequences of defying His orders and commandments. Shun sin, for it is the cobra
that will poison your body and mind and make your soul unhappy.

Nothing can taint the soul, for it is a part of divinity. But the unhappy soul, in spite
of its original stainlessness, is deprived of its right to return to its place of origin,
if man in his stupidity and ignorance exercises his will in contradiction to God's laws
and commands.

Put on the garment of purity.Burn away all dross in you in the fire of suffering. Break
the chain of Maya with the hammer of self-consciousness. Make conscience your sole
judge and monitor. Not all the wealth of the world, not all the glory and pomp, not all
the applause of the people, will heal your inward wound, which will keep on festering ,
till it covers you wholly and you sink in dire abjectness, if you forsake God and His laws
and commands. Be sure of this, that God's mills grind slowly but they grind exceedingly
fine. No one can escape the relentlessness of His laws.

Seek The Hidden Light
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 16th November 1952


GOD is the only reality. This world is a delusion. See God in everything from the sod
of the earth to the star in the sky and you shall understand that there exists in the
universe nothing but GOD. Don't be guided by what you see with your physical eyes.
What you see is not real. The real is hidden from your physical sight. When you see
the hidden, you will realize the mysteries of GOD and His universe. You will realize
and understand the aim and object of life. Do not drift like a piece of wood on the
waters in the river of life, but make a deep plunge and find out pearls of truth for
the guidance of life.

See the hidden light. It shall illuminate your mind, heart and soul and lead you to
the kingdom of God, which is eternal and infinite.

Don't think that you are a finite body. Don't think that life is a leap from birth to death.
It is a continuos chain from birth to death and from death to birth. It can be brocken
only when the soul disentangles itself from the sheaths of the lower planes with
which it is entangled. Seek submission to the will of God by practice of vairagya and
you shall attain freedom from the chain of birth and death. Union with God is the goal of life.
Seek Him and Him alone and He will guide you, inspire you from all your earthly
entanglements and take you to the goal of eternal bliss.

The Greater The Trial, The Greater The Reward
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 17th November 1952

The darkest cloud has a silver lining. The pall of dark night is lifted up when the sun
shines in all its brightness and glory. Even if the struggle be hard, why be sad and
gloomy? For, is not God, your Father, near you, to befriend you? Keep your mind still
like the waters of the deep lake. Stand firm like a rock and shrink not if calamities pour
on you, like a hurricane. The greater the trial, the greater the reward; the greater the
mystery, the greater the happiness, that must follow like the sunny day, when the
night is over.

Stain not your mind or body with impurity. Walk in the path of rectitude, with love for
all-smile for a kick and forgiveness to all. Make that the ideal of your life, if you wish to
win the race and come out triumphant from the struggle of life.

Hatred, malice, revenge, jealousy, bigotness, pride, greed, lust, sloth- these are the
companions of satan. Love, purity,righteousness, gentility,, humility,tolerance,forbearance,
broad-mindness,contentedness, culture, labour,sincerity,loyalty,one-mindness-these are
the fragrant flowers that grow in the garden of God. Make a bouquet of them and carry it
with you, for each flower is reminiscent of God's glory and a remembrancer of His kingdom.
Make virtue your crown and vice a footstand , to trample it under your feet. Be a master ,
not a slave of your mind, body and senses.

Ladder Of Evolution
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 18th November 1952

The inequalities in life that you see are because of the Law of Evolution operating
in the universe. The process of evolution cannot work equally in all, because of
various factors involved, the principal of which is man's own free will. When he
uses his will in contradiction to God's will and refuses to be guided by divine wisdom,
he lengthens his process of evolution. It is only when he suffers, he begins to yearn
for God. This yearning for God is an indication of an upsurge for higher things of life.
He begins to realise that what is visible is not lasting and true. He craves for things
of the spirit. He yearns for eternal peace and rest. This yearning for the higher things
of life takes him into a new channel. The old ways and modes of life become distasteful
to him.He leaves off carnal pleasures and takes to the path of Bhakti, Gnana, and Dharma
Yoga. He gives his all in all to God. He works for God and God alone and not out of any
attachment to the fruits of his labour. He sees God in every human being and loves them
all without any distinction. The doors of divine wisdom open out to him. He is content to
God's love, which enriches his soul, heart and mind and makes him happy.

Each man has to climb the ladder of evolution and go through varied experiences of life
for the purification of his soul till he reaches the last step in the ladder and enters God's
Kingdom of Eternal Bliss. This process of evolution in each individual takes a long time.
It requires countless births but there is no restriction of any kind, for by God's grace,
human souls can be raised to reach the top of the ladder, quicker and faster. The
process of evolution can be quickened, if man wills it and if he wins God's Grace.

Death And The Sinner
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 19th November 1952

People look upon death with grim fear. It is because they are unaware of their future
destination. The good and virtuous should be happy to die for death is a passage to
higher realms of peace and bliss. It is only the sinner who carries the load of sin along
with his soul. This load he has to unburden before he can start a new race for life on
the earth. He must go through the path of purification to start a new lease of life. This
course of purification does not end immediately. It goes on from birth to birth and from
earth to the spirit world, for countless years, till purged of all sins and perfected in spirit,
he becomes ripe for union with God, the Absolute Spirit.

God's mercy is so great that even to the worst sinner He gives a chance and hope to
recover the lost ground and re-enter into the realm of bliss from which he has been an
exile. For every soul is a spark of God and having emanted from such a high origin, must
return back to its home. Such is the destined lot of every human soul.

Trample Sin But Do Not Despise The Sinner
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 20th November 1952

Sin is negation of virtue. It is the greatest obstacle in the struggle of life.Sinfulness
is Godlessness. To commit a sin, whether in thought, work or deed, is to invite terrible
consequences both in this life and hereafter. Sin is a fetter, a clamping machine
which kills you inch by inch and gives you no rest or peace of mind.

Keep away from the monster of sin and seek virtue as your friend and lifemate.
It is virtue that brings peace and happiness.Sin creates disunion, disharmony,
distress, distraction, dissipation of energy and disease of mind,body and soul.
Destroy sin with the hammer of God's name. Keep on shouting the name of God
and the temptress sin will not make an assault on you. A life of sinlessness is a
 life of perfection, which God wants His children to strive for.

Trample sin under your feet but do not despise the sinner.Pity him and raise him
from the morass of despair. Purify his heart, mind and soul and take him Godward.
It is possible to rise from the state of sinfulness to the heighest state of saintliness.
Sinfulness is only one aspect of human life. It is a transient aspect for no sinner can
live in the sink of sin for a long time. He must come out, by means of his own remorse
and suffering and breathe the free air of joy and sunshine, which is God's measure
for all His creation.

There is no such thing as eternal punishment. There is eternal bliss, which is the
birthright of every human soul. But there is no eternal fire of hell. Heaven and hell
do exist but not in the sense men think them to be. Sinfulness is hell. Righteousness
is heaven. It is only by breaking the fetters of sin and leading a life of desirelessness
would you be able to win God's love and grace and enter into His kingdom of eternal bliss.

Religion And The Origin Of Evil
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 21st November 1952

All religions are pathways to God. and no one should arrogate that his religion is
the best.In fact, religion is a matter of man's own inner consciousness. This inner
consciousness can be aroused in two ways: by man's contact with external
phenomena, through scriptures, association with good and saintly people and
masters. Secondly, by man's own individual quest for something that can be
satisfy his soul.

Religion is a matter of the heart. When the heart is awakened,the desire to know
the secrets of the universe and probe into the problems of life becomes keener
and keener. It is difficult for a man to be satisfied with bread alone. He needs
divine nectar and that is supplied by religion, which chains him to God and the
world beyond the precincts of the earth plane.

Religion should be understood in its essence. It is the ritual side of religion that
causes seperation and iconoclasm. To know the truth, one must dive deep in to
the experiences of life in utter disregard of one's own gain, in the pure spirit of
enquiry and investigation. When man searches for truth, in this way, he will notice
that all religions as taught by the prophets, saints and sagesare universal in their
teachingsand application, with as the object of life and righteousness as the main
factor. GOD speaks through the chosen ones, with same voice and the same object
viz.., to enlighten mankind and show them the way to His kingdom.

Religion binds man to GHod. It gives him a philosophy, which satisfies both the
hunger of his heart as well as gives him strength and vitality to fight the battle of
life bravely and successfully.

No man can live without religion. It is the fulcrum of life, the soul's prop, and the
searchlight in the dim, dismal horizon of man's creation. God is all Light, Love and
Beauty. He is absolute. There is no duality in divinity. There is no relativity in God's
conception. He is One without second. He is Timeless, Spaceless, causeless,Motionless.
But this divine absoluteness is missed by man, who is finite and who measures all
things, with the dim light of his own reasoning faculty. His reasons gives birth to the
ideas of relativity, dimensions etc...

No evil exists in the Godhead. But man creats it in his finite nature. This is the origin
of evil. It is not permanent, or it is the outcome of man, who is finite. The minute he
becomes perfect and reaches Godhead, the evil disappears. It is nescience, ignorance
and therfore not premanent. God alone is the Reality and all life should be taken as
a real phenomenon, to be overcome and conquered by the forces of the spirit within.
 Discard the world and its temptations. Seek refuge in God. He is both within and without.

Control Of The Mind
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 22nd November 1952

Mind is the repository of good and bad thoughts. It is the mind that makes heaven
or hell. Control of the mind requires skilful handling. It is by concentration and
meditation that a man can become the master of his mind and control it to perfection.
When man reaches the stage of his having controlled his mind, he becomes a sage,
a seer. Once the mind is controlled, he can then go into the interior recesses of
God's mysteries.

Control of the mind leads to illumination. It is a subtle, spiritual force, higher than
intellect. It is called intuition, the third eye, the mystic passage, the ladder to
Godhead. It is spiritual artery, which supplies spiritual food of the highest type.
It is also known as inspiration. It is a link with God Himself. It is the fire of the soul.
It is God's gift and a token of His grace.

God-realisation—the goal of life, not earthly happiness.


Different faiths are like different rivers that flow from different regions but ultimately join the ocean. The object of every religion is God. He alone is worthy of worship and none else. People make Mammon as their God. This is wrong. To make sordid desires of life to dominate is to invite catastrophe- Do not be dragged in the mire of worldly temptations for they are death knells of misery and degradation. Riches are the burning bricks with which the vault of hell is built. Lust for power is a shadowy substance. Do not aspire for worldly applause for it is fickle and baseless. Stain not your soul with the allurements of life but keep it stainless with the love and light of God.
God alone is the Reality, all else is of unreal nature. Seek God in the simplicity of your heart, Renounce the gewgaws of life. Hold fast to Truth and Righteousness, Mercy and Compassion, Love and Gentility, Simplicity and Humility, Earnestness and Sincerity, Passivity and search for Him with a longing heart and dedicate yourself, wholly, solely and completely to Him in perfect purity of heart, mind and soul, the Invisible will become visible. The wide universe is but a manifestation of the Absolute Spirit-

Make your heart and soul vibrate with the thoughts of God, the Absolute Spirit pervading the universe and you would feel a new impulse, a new life, a new spirit, a new discovery of yourself. This self discovery is God vision. It is the preparation for a life of eternity. Life becomes spiritualised.

To understand God who is spirit, man must become like spirit i-e. leave off the dross in him, which is the material part in him. Self-surrender self-purification, self-knowledge—these are the sure footings, for the achievement of life's goal—God-realisation.

The Chariot And The Charioter
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer
On 23rd November 1952

Man has evolved from the lowest strata of life. It is his destiny to be finally united
with God. To reach this goal, he may take countless births on your earth plane,
but ultimately his soul which is an evolving entity saturated with all kinds of
experiences, good and bad, pleasant and bitter, is redeemed from the obligation
of taking birth again in physical body and is united with the spirit. When this marriage
of the soul with the spirit takes place, it means, the soul has freed itself from its
shackles and environments and has gained its salvation.

Salvation of the soul is the object of life. To attain this object, it is necessary to discard
that which is of transient and fleeing nature and adhere to that which is permanent
and lasting. The world is 'maya'. The senses, if not controlled by the mind and will, act
the part of the horses, yoked to a chariot, wherein is seated the soul, but not properly
checked by the reins of the charioteer- the higher mind , buddhi- they run wild and dash
the chariot to pieces. The chariot is the body. When the body is broken, the man dies,
but he again comes back and takes hold of the chariot, the horses and the reins and
begins anew to drive, with the experiences gained in the past lives. Slowly and steadily,
the charioteer learns to drive the chariot correctly without any mishap and he drives the
 horses safely tp their destination. That destination is soul's salvation.

Prayers And Their Significance
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

Distance lends enchantment to the view. It is not so in spirituality.
The nearer you come to God, the greater becomes your joy and happiness.
You pass from the mundane to the spiritual plane of existance. It is a ladder,
a bridge to eternity.

Be spiritual. Forget self. Immerse yourself in the ocean of universality.
Give up individuality and become impersonal. It is only then the gulf between
your mundane world and our spiritual world of Eternal Bliss can be bridged.
Make God the target of your life, the summumbonum of your aspiration,
the goal of your victory.

Pray to Him day and night. Prayers offered from the fullness of your heart
find an echo in the Universal mind. They create waves after waves of divine
power bringing in you a new life, a new impulse, a new light, a healing of
wounds, which nothing else can cure or heal. Prayers are a sovereign remedy
for all ills the body is heir to. They remedy, they purify, they exalt, they
 illumine the heart, mind and soul.

To pray to God is the privilege of everyone, whether he be a fakir or a prince.
It is the greatest weapon, which a person holds in his hands for the
betterment of his life. Prayers are based on this fact, that God, who is invisible,
 is ever present and ever eager to listen to us in our grief and distress.

Prayer is the language of the heart. It is divine communication. It is celestial
music. It is a gateway to our purification and salvation.

Sacrifice and self-surrender to God are the main pillars of every prayer. No prayer
is genuine if nit buttressed with the oil of sacrifice and offered in complete
abandonment to the will of God.

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer


As you sow, so shall you reap. This is an eternal truth. If you do evil to anyone,
it will return to you with a vengeance. If you do good to anyone, even if you do
not expect any return or reward, you would taste its sweet fruit in some form or
the other. You grow in spiritual stature as you do good. You shrink and become
a dwarf if evil thoughts, evil words and evil deeds emanate from your lower self.
Aspire for the highest and you would attain the highest. If you think of the lowest,
you would be the lowest. It is for you to choose good or evil.

Enshrine your mind with thoughts of love. Pilot the ship of your soul in the deep
waters of peace and harmony, virtue and contenment. Keep away from the cliffs
of hatred and jealousy, greed and avarice, lust and debasement. God answers
 no prayer unless it emanates from a contrite heart, seeking forgiveness for sins
 in the past. Work your way rigidly and care not for crosses and pains, if they
are borne for the sake of righteousness, which is the only path to God

God Not An Enigma
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

Star gazing is a relaxation, exaltation and sublimation of the soul. The star
 -bespangled sky in the silvery night, when Queen Moon is at its height
in her splendour and limpid beauty, presents a glorious sight. It rouses the
soul and makes man feel that he is in tune with the Infinite.Anything that is
beautiful creates a passionate longing for the IDEAL.

God is the absolute Spirit, pervading throughout the universe. He is both
transcendent and immanent, visible and invisible, silent and audible.

God is not an enigma, if you study Nature and tune your life in conformity
with God's commandments of Love and Virtue, which must triumph not only
 in each man's individual life but in the entire creation of God. Simple as ABC
is God's formula to understand Him and the Universe. It is easy to comprehend
Him,not through deep volumes of philosophy, not by leading a hectic life of blistering
struggle and fight for earthly supremact, but by a passionate longing for truth and
renunciation. But simple as God's formula is to understand Him, and realize Him,
man in his ignorance, caste aside the bowl of purity and drinks instead what
appears to him as good and vitalising but in reality is dark, dirty poison, that
stains his soul and ruins him physically, morally and spirituality.

God is spirit. Love Him, adore Him, dedicate your life to Him and you would
become one with Him in spirit.

How The Invisible Can Become Visible?
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

Search for God inwardly, Infinite as He is, unsurpassed and boundless, He resides in the
tiny cave of the human heart. He is measureless, incomprehensible, unknown, unknowable,
eternal, invisible. But if you search for Him with a longing heart and dedicate yourself wholly,
solely and completely to Him in perfect purity of heart, mind and soul, the invisible will
become visible. The wide universe is but a manifestation of the Absolute Spirit.

Make your heart and soul vibrate with the thoughts of God, the Absolute Spirit pervading
 the universe and you would feel a new impulse, a new life, a new spirit, a new discovery
of yourself. This self discovery is God vision. It is the preparation for a life of eternity. Life

Seek God Through The Gateway Of Renunciation And Devotion
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

Lead a complete life, not a life of trivialities. A life of desultory existence is a
life of decadence. Enrich your life with thoughts of God, if you wish to live in
peace and joyousness. A life of self-centeredness leads to destruction of mental
peace. It is a way down the hill in the valley of despair. Kindle the lamp of your
heart with the flame of God and you will rise to heights of ecstasy, beyond
your dreams.

Garner the fruit of wisdom from the garden of your life and share it with your
brothers and sisters tied to you in holy union. Life is a delicious fruit, if you
sweeten it with the name of God. It is bitter, if you taste it, without taking
His name.

Sweet or bitter, as the course of your life may be, do not for a moment
forget God. He is ever present in you. He will free you if you think of Him and
long for Him with all the intensity of your heart, mind and soul. Seek God through
the path of renunciation for that is the only way to open to reach Him. Seek
Him in all earnestness and you will find Him.

In The Uncertainty Of Life, One Certainty -God
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer


Life is uncertain. You do not know the span of your life - how many years you
have to live-nor what the future holds out for you. In this incertainty, there is one
certainty, which you must follow, as the night follows the day and the day follows
the night, and it is the most glorious certainty of God, the only REALITY in the
whole cosmos. Open your heart to Him. Let divine thought rush in you like the
scented zephyr from the bower of flowers. Seek Him and Him alone for He is your
Helpmate, your Father, your Ally, your Companion, your Consoler and Admonisher
throughout the long battle of life. Cleanse your heart, mind and soul of all the
stains of folly and sin and thus purified and elevated inwardly, you would be taken
into the inner realms of the spirit for the achievements of life's highest
goal- God realization.

Grow In Spirit
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

To rise to the highest pinnacle of spirituality is ordained by God for everyone.
But extremely few reach the goal for the path leading to it which is so narrow
and painful to traverse. It is a great mistake to avoid the narrow way which
leads to God and to take to the broad way which leads to corruption and decay.
Why sell eternal peace for a mess of pottage? And yet millions and millions of
your people on the earth plane, forgetful of the self within them, hanker for
loaves and fishes of life, gilded with an outward shine and leave off God,
who is the only Reality.

Seek God not in outward shows and forms. Seek God not in paraphernalia
of rites and rituals. Seek God not in church congergations. But seek Him in the
cave of your heart. It is there. He dwells, hide in the kernel. Throw off the shells
and the shackles that bind and devitalise you. Grow in spirit and the indwelling
spirit, freed from all its outer coverings and coatings will shine like a crystal star
and lead you on and on to the starry realms of unimaginable glory and beauty
to your extreme delight and joy. Make God your home, your hearth, your sole
and profuse source of thought and activity. It is then alone you shall reach Him
and be united with Him in all eternity.

Don't Make Life A Tomb Of Woe And Wantonness
Delivered by Baba to Yogi. M.K.Spencer

Make life a music, a medley of art and beauty, a torrent of glory, a rainbow arch of
gorgeousness. Why seek the petty things of life, when God has designed and planned
that you should rise from darkness to light, from death to immortality, from the unreal
to the real. Make perfection of character the goal of your life and you will come quickly
to God, who alone is real.

Don't make life a 'tomb of woe and wantonness'. Rise from the graveyard of sickness and
sorrow, both of mind and soul and climb the altitude of high thoughts and aspirations, to free
you from the maddening temptations of your world and its vagaries. Keep away from the
shore of dead sea apples. Clinch pure gold and not putrid flesh. Kindle the light of your
heart with the flame and fire of God's Love and Light and you will be safe in your march f
rom the earth to the Realms Beyond. Go forward and sink not, though the battle be
tough and the way be arduous and wearisome. Make God your ally and you would
safely reach the goal, the Goal of Eternal Bliss and Light.

In the whirlpool of life, there are more scorpions and snakes to bite you than honeysuckle
flowers to delight you. But however thorny and difficult the path be, be a brave warrior
