shirdi sai baba's thoughts
If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; the whole world is your own."
I bring tears of joy into your eyes and I wipe the tears of grief.
Don not come to me with your hands full of trash, for how can I fill them with Grace when they are already full. Come with empty hands, and carry away My Treasure, My Love.
Give the Guru your mind as you would entrust Gold to the Goldsmith.
The Guru may need to melt, mould or beat your mind, But do not worry, as he will return to you a precious Jewel.
Do not say Swami give me peace, but do not give me pain, as Swami may need to inflict pain before the process of purification is complete
You may say that progress is possible only through My Grace, but though My Heart is soft as butter, it melts only when there is some warmth in your Prayer
No person can dream of Swami, unless Swami Himself desires it so.
I need only one 'Mandir' - Your Hearts!
Preserve the purity of your hearts, so that SAI may reside therein..."
Do not case God in a picture - frame,
Do not confine Him in an idol,
He is all Forms,
He is all Names
Take one step towards me,
I shall take a hundred towards you,
Shed but one tear,
I shall wipe away a hundred.
Why fear when I am here.
Have faith that Sai is with you at all time and at all place.
Real Devotion should always be absolute and unconditional
Be content.
Nothing can happen against His will.
God belongs to All.
He is Universal.
