Sai Baba and alcohol

[MANDY]

Jai Sai Ram

I am very ashamed to say that I am drinking to excess.  Every morning I wake up, feeling really tired and say I will never drink again, but on my way home from work I buy myself of bottle of wine/spirit.

I think I read that Sai Baba did not like alcohol (but did smoke chillim).  Also he was really upset with someone's drinking that this person felt Baba's sitting on his heart and Baba only got off once this person promised he would never drink again.  Is this true?  What was Baba teachings on alcohol?

Jai Sai Ram Dear Mandy

This is a true story from Sai Satcharitra. Drinking is a pleasure and it's a waste of money. Social drinking (once in a while)can be understood coz of the change in life style but regular drinking is something not good at all. neither it's good for health and wealth nor it's good for a devotional cause.

Never forget everything has it's own limit....and any excess can damage a lot..

Try to reduce the amount of alcohol you consume everyday...if possible stop it gradually...

For Baba, how can you except HIM to be a HAPPY for a bad cause like drinking...

Jai Sai Ram

Mandy ji, Sai Ram

Firstly, I feel happy that you are able to feel bad that you are drinking too excess.

Secondly you are able to admit this in the Mandir to Baba.

Above all, you are saying that "Iam ashamed...' which means you are doing it though you don't like it.

First, calm down your mind. You wanted to have kids and felt once that you were unable to conceive. To my knowledge, smoking and drinking are also factors in conception.

What you need is calming down your mind taht you stop this totally.

This can be done only by Baba.

By the way, why did U stop coming to Mandir these days? Come here regularly and keep praying for yourself and others. Utilise your entire time only in some or the other work instead of brooding over things which are not worth of it. becoz, such mental status only makes you more prone for drinking etc.

Mine is only bookish knowledge and cinema knowledge; I may be wrong but, pl do something and stop all this at once.

I request all my brothers and sisters ( if any other sisters have this habit) to kinldy stop this and I pray Baba to help all those out of this unhealthy habit.
