Long Long ago...

[Praveen P V S]

Long long ago you told us so,
that if we look at you, you will look back at us more;
Long long ago you told us so,
That we should practice shradha and saburi for sure;
Long long ago you you told us so,
That if we can ask for your help, you will safely take us to the shore;
Long long ago you told us so,
but how could you keep your words even today to the deepest core???
[]
We still feel your words as fresh as they were said,
We can still feel your hands on our bowing head.
You are a part of our lives as our daily bread.
Thank you dear Baba.
Thank you for everything you said.


I love you Baba.

Jai Sai Ram.

Praveen Bhai I hope you won't mind I am also motivated to add a few lines here.

Long long ago Baba Sai you blessed me
How could I not see what you gave me
For I was into complains and worries bothering me
Little did I know you were still watching over me.

Then You brought me to your Mandir - Baba Sai
Where I found your prayers and love - Baba Sai
How can I not anymore see your blessings - Baba Sai
You made me understand you have plans - Baba Sai.

Your blessings Baba Sai is all I ask
Hoping it should not be major task
Praying for little ones and old ones who need you most
Grace me also so I see share your Leelas with others in a post.

Om Sai Ram.


OM SAI RAM !
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI !!

OMSAIRAM!Praveen bhai and Anju behen,

I just saw this poem on Sai Vichaar and thought of sharing...

 Where are You My Lord? Where are You?

I have searched for You In temples and ashrams
In masjids and minars But, I failed to feel You.

I have searched for You In churches and chapels
In gurudwaras and gopurams But, I failed to absorb You.

I have searched for You In discourses and bhajans
In meditations and murthis But, I failed to invoke You.

I have searched for You In mountains and valleys
In forests and caves But, I failed to see You.

I have searched for You in Rivers and rivulets
In brooks and lakes But, I failed to trace You.

I have searched for You In flowers and fragrances
In the universe and ether But, I failed to know You.

I have searched for You In swamis and sadhus
In gurus and samadhis But, I failed to get You.'

I have searched for You In japa and tapa
In fasting and reciting But, I failed to hold on to You.

I have searched for You In retreats and resolutions
In resorts and rationalization But, I failed to meet You.

I have searched for You Everywhere day and night
It is now beyond my imagination Reveal Yourself Oh my Lord!

Ah! You are here my Lord, within Me! Just waiting for me to open up to You
Yes, You will not reveal to half-hearted efforts Unless I submit myself by thought, word and action

My Lord! You are within me But, fool am I that
I searched for you outside Without giving up what I am holding on
And living up to your expectations. Due to my ignorance and arrogance
I failed to enjoy Your love for me so far You are just waiting for my correct moves
To take me into Your lap.

Thank You My Lord! for the transformation Now, I can see You clearly
In every beam of Sun-rays In every moon-lit night In every flower In every smile
In everything animate and inanimate In fact, You Are and nothing else.
Thank You My Lord for Your Blessings and Love.

JAI SAI RAM!!!

Moko Kahan Dhundhere Bande
Mein To Tere Paas Mein
Na Teerath Mein, Na Moorat Mein
Na Ekant Niwas Mein
Na Mandir Mein, Na Masjid Mein
Na Kabe Kailas Mein
Mein To Tere Paas Mein Bande
Mein To Tere Paas Mein
Na Mein Jap Mein, Na Mein Tap Mein
Na Mein Barat Upaas Mein
Na Mein Kiriya Karm Mein Rehta
Nahin Jog Sanyas Mein
Nahin Pran Mein Nahin Pind Mein
Na Brahmand Akas Mein
Na Mein Prakuti Prawar Gufa Mein
Nahin Swasan Ki Swans Mein
Khoji Hoye Turat Mil Jaoon
Ik Pal Ki Talas Mein
Kahet  Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho
Mein To Hun Viswas Mein


Where do you search me?
I am with you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons
Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques
Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you o man
I am with you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation
Neither in fasting
Not in yogic exercises
Neither in renunciation
Neither in the vital force nor in the body
Not even in the ethereal space
Neither in the womb of Nature
Not in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly and discover
In but a moment of search
Says Kabir, Listen with care
Where your faith is, I am there.

OM SAI RAM!!!
