    “Why ask others? Everything we should see with our own eyes; where is the necessity to question
    others? Just think for yourself whether your dream is true or not? Where was the necessity of the
    darshan by taking a loan from a Marwari? Is the heart's desire now satisfied?" –

    Sri Saibaba referring to Lala Lakshmichand

    Explore if you can offer to others, things that you enjoy.

    Explore if you can offer before you enjoy anything for yourself.

    Learn to offer before you eat.

    The humans are always busy looking for enjoyment.

    They can be brought to poise through the regulation of offering in preference to self enjoyment.

    When you offer anything to anyone you are only offering to Me in all.

    Be respectful and affectionate when you do the acts of offering.

    Offer anything to Me before you enjoy.

    It keeps you growing in love and in splendour.

    Shirdi Saibaba

    Man is a mixture of two strands of the same substance - Maaya and Maadhava (Divine illusion and God), Moha and Raama (delusion and God), deha and dehi (body and soul), jada and chith (inert matter and consciousness), sareeram and sareeri (body and the embodied), jeeva and Brahmam (individual soul and the Supreme Soul). Maayaa can be recognized and driven out only when the mind is purified by prema and by avoidance of envy and hatred born out of egoism.

    "He never emulated others in any way, nor asked others to have something done for Him. For Him, Who saw the Lord in all movable and immovable things of this world, humility was the most proper thing. None He disregarded or disrespected; for He saw Narayan (Lord) in all beings, He never said, "I am God," but that He was a humble servant and He always remembered Him and always uttered - "Allah Malik" (God is the sole proprietor or Owner)".

  • Jai Sairam,

    From the last one and half year, i came to know about Baba and attracted towards him. I have many problems in my life, due to which i take refuge in Baba's feet. Baba is so kind that many of my problems are resolved. After that i started thinking, i am worshipping Baba just because i want all my problems will be removed, so it means that i am a selfish person because i am happy that Baba has resolved many problems of mine, but after that whether i am following Baba's teachings or not;

    1. Love and respect other.
    2. No bad feelings for others.
    3. help the needy.
    4. have we every prayed for those whom we don't know. for example - when we are going to Baba mandir with any of our problems, then we see many poor people and childrens, then why should we not think that we are in better position, Baba has already blessed us so much.

    No.. i am not following his teachings, so i am doing show off, why i am not feeling in my heart that i love Baba as we feel for our childrens. I came across many devotee's who want Baba should come in their dreams, but i myself answered the question "you have no right to pray such a big thing, what you have done in your life that Baba should come in your dream or why Baba think i am the right candidate for this wish".

    i use to watch Sai Baba serial or even studied books on Saibaba - Baba free people from their illness or problrems by taking it on itself... Just struck with another thought - so i am giving pain to my Baba, is this is the love for Baba is my heart, why should i only ask Baba to bless me and grant Bhakti of his holy feets & bless me in my efforts.

    Still confused ?? I am lacking both  - devotion or faith (Shraddha) & patience (Saburi).

    "Somebody may raise a doubt here and ask - "Did Baba distribute vegetable and animal food as prasad alike to all His devotees?" The answer is plain and simple. Those who were accustomed to (take) animal food were given food from the Handi as prasad and those who were not so accustomed, were not allowed to touch it. He never created in them any wish or desire to indulge in this food.

    God has created this beautiful world, and it is our duty to appreciate its beauty. The mind will get steady and calm slowly and gradually. When the front door is open, why go by the back door ? When the heart is pure, there is no difficulty, what so ever. Why should one be afraid of any one, if there be no evil thought in us
    -- Shirdi Sai Baba

    If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere.


    The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

    Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.


    A change of heart changes everything.


    Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall.


    You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.


    One generation plants trees, and the next enjoys the shade.


    It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past.

    Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

    1. I am God. I am Mahalaxmi. I speak the truth sitting as I do in this Dwarkamayee. I amVithoba. I am Ganapati. All offerings made to Ganapati have reached me. I am Dattatraya. I am Laxmi Narayan. Why go for Ganga elsewhere. Hold your palm at my feet, Ganga flows here. I am Maruti.
    2. I am the attributeless 'Nirguna'. I have no name and no residence.
    3. I embroiled myself in 'Karma' and got this body. 'Brahman' is my father and 'Maya' is my mother. I am formless and in everything. I fill all spaces and solitary wilderness. I am in the fire and ether.
    4. I am not the body or the senses. I am the eternal 'Sakshi'(witness) .
    5. I require no doors to enter. I have no form nor do I have any limitations. I am always existent in all animate and inanimate objects. I am the wire puller of all actions of the man who trusts me and merges in me and ultimately provide him Liberation.
    6. Be wherever you like; do whatever you choose; remember this well that all what you do is known to me. I am the Inner Ruler of all and am seated in theii hearts.
    7. I need no paraphernalia of worship either eight-fold nor sixteen-fold. I dwell where there is full devotion.
    8. Meditate always on my formless nature, which is Existence, Consciousness and Bliss Absolute. If you cannot do this, meditate on my form, from head to toe, as you see me here night and day. As you go on doing this, your 'Vrattis' (thoughts) will become one pointed and the distinction between the 'dhyata' (meditated upon) 'Dhyari, (meditation) and 'dhaya' (object) will be lost and the meditator will become one with consciousness and be merged in 'Brahma'.
    9. Those who are fortunate and whose sins have been washed turn to my worship. If you always utter 'Sai, Sai', I shall lake you beyond the Seven Seas.
    10. My master told me to give bounteously to all that ask. People come to me asking for the petty tilings of life such as wealth, children, promotion and the like; but nobody comes to ask for the real treasures, I hold. My treasury is full; take away cartloads of it. Be the true sons of the Divine Mother and fully stock yourself. What is to become of us? This body will return to earth and the air we breathe will melt into air. This opportunity will not return.
    11. There shall be no dearth of food and clothing in the houses of my devotees. It is my special characteristic that I always look and provide for the welfare of those devotees, who worship me whole heartedly. If you want to beg of anything, beg for the Lord Himself.
    12.. Howsoever oppressed and troubled one may be, as soon as he ascends the steps of the Dwarkamayee, he is on the pathway to happiness. The 'Fakir' here is very merciful. He provides protection to all with love and kindness..
    13. The 'Dwarkamayee' wards off all dangers and anxieties of its children. Once a person sits in its lap, all his miseries come to an end. He who rests in its shade, gets bliss.
    14. Let anybody speak hundreds of things against you, do not express resentment by giving a bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy.
    15. I am the bonded slave of My devotee. I love devotion. He who withdraws his heart from the world and loves Me, is My true lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea.
    16. All creatures (such as; dogs, cats, flies, and pigs) are My own form. He who seas Me in them, is My beloved. So abondoning the sense of duality and distinction, continue to serve Me.
    17. If any one does any evil unto you, do not retaliate. If you wish to do anything, do only good acts unto others.
    18. He, who carps and cavils at others, pierces Me in the heart and injures me, but he who suffers and endures, pleases Me most.
    19. Do not entertain the sense of doer ship in performing good or bad act; be entirely free from pride and ego in all actions.
    20. I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself completely to Me and always remembers Me. I shall repay his debt by giving him salvation.. I belong to him who thinks of Me, hungers after Me and does not eat anything without first offering to Me. Leaving aside pride and egotism completely, you should surrender to Me, who is seated in your heart.
    21. Mysterious is the path of action. Though I do nothing, people hold Me responsible for their actions, which take place on account of destiny. I am merely an observer. The Lord is the sole doer and inspirer.
    22. How can the worldly desires and impure inclinations come near persons who remember Me in their everyday life, worship Me and lovingly listen to and brood over My life stories. I shall draw them out from the jaws of death.
    23. Keeping your mind steady, continue to do your duty fearlessly and have faith in My words. If My 'Leelas' (deeds) are written, 'avidya' (nescience/ ignorance) will vanish and if these are attentively and devotedly listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate, and strong waves of devotion will arise. If one dives deep into My 'Leelas', he shall obtain precious jewels of knowledge.
    24. My Guru never taught Me any Mantra, how could I then blow any Mantra in your ears? Just remember that Guru's tortoise like loving glance gives us happiness. Do not, therefore, try to get Mantra or sermon (Updesh) from any body. Make Me the sole object of your thoughts and actions and you will, no doubt attain 'Parmartha'- the spiritual goal of life. Look at Me whole heartedly and I, in turn, will look at you similarly.
    25 Give (Charity) with faith and magnanimity (liberally); give with modesty, sympathy and respectfully.
    26. He who loves me most, always experiences my presence. The whole world is desolate to him without Me.
    27. If you spread your palms with devotion before Me, I shall immediately be with you at any time of the day and night. Though I am here physically yet I know all that happens beyond the seven seas. Seated in your heart, I am in fact your Inner Self. Always worship Him alone who is seated in your heart as well as in the hearts of all beings. Blessed and fortunate indeed is he, who is aware of My omnipresent and omniscient form.
    28. If I accept one rupee from anyone as 'dakshina', I have to return many more times of it. I never accept anything gratis from anybody nor do I ask for 'dakshina' indiscriminately. I only ask and take from him towards whom the 'Fakir' (God) points out. If anyone is indebted in his previous birth to the 'Fakir", then only 'dakshina' is received from him. The donor gives and sows the seeds to reap a rich harvest in future. Wealth should only be used to earn 'Dharma'. If it is used for personal enjoyment, it is wasted. Unless you have given charity before, you cannot, get it now. So, the best way to receive is to give. The giving of'dakshina' leads to Vairagya' (non-attachment) and thereby to 'Bhakti and' Gyan.
    29. Why should any fear when I am there. Cast all burdens on Me, I shall bear them.
    30. Have faith in Me. Even though I give up this body, My bones in My Samadhi will give you hope and confidence. Not only I but My Samadhi would be speaking, moving and communicating with those who surrender to Me whole heartedly. Do not feel disappointed that I would be away from you. You will hear my bones speaking and discussing your welfare. If you remember Me constantly and have faith in Me, heart and soul, you shall be greatly benefited.

    Life ends when U stop dreaming ....   

    Hope ends when U stop believing,

    Love ends when U stop caring ...... 

    Friendship ends when U stop sharing.


    So lets not stop dreaming about the people we want to be, lets not stop beleiving in ourselves and in the people who believe in us, lets not stop caring about the ones who add meaning to our lives and lets not stop sharing our lives with our friends and life patners..

    WE JUST HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE- LETS LIVE IT WITH HOPE, LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP..

    Truth is what is genuinely true. 
    One who has full faith in this  truth,
    one who accepts it, is a truthful person and his best  feeling is truthfulness.
