Babas Promises
As Dwaraka Mayi
1. This is Dwaraka Mayi of ours on which you are setting. This wards off all dangers and anxieties from her children. Highly merciful is this Masudi Ayi. She is the mother of those who place their entire faith in her. If they are in danger, she will save them. Once a person climbs into her lap, all this troubles are over. He who sleeps in her shade attains bliss.
2. What can the snake do to Dwarakamayi’s children ? They look on amused, when the snake appears.
When Dwaraka Mayi protects, can the snake bite.
3. We have no need to fear. Strike, le me see how you can strike and kill (ef,36,473)
4. This is not a mosque. It is Dwaraka. Those who seek refuge in her will never be harmed.
5. As soon as one climbs the steps of the mosque suffering due to Karma are at end and joy, begins. That Fakir (God) is very kind and will relive your troubles.
6. When any one enters this Dwaraka Mayi, his goal (object) is achieved.
7. This place (Dwaraka Mayi) is for Tarana i.e., saving people, and not marana ie., killing them.
(Meaning of Dwaraka Mayi)
Masudi Ayi i.e, Dwaraka Mayi is Sai.
8. I do nothing. I receive nothing. Datta calls for his own. He has called for Rs.15/- his due and given it to Masudi Ayi. So the money has been received (by me)
9. My eye (of vigilant supervision) is ever on those who love me.
Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind, that I am always aware of everything you do.
10.If one ever meditates on me, repeats my name, signs my deeds, and is thus transformed into me, one’s Karma is destroyed. I stay by his side always.
11. You should have truth always with you. then I shall be always with you, wherever you are, and at all times.
12. I will be with you, whenever and wherever you think of me. Do not fear.
13. If one perpetually thinks of me, and makes me his sole refuge, I am his debtor and will give my head to save him.
14. If, one ever dwells on me in his mind and will not even taste food before offering it to me, I am his slave. so also if he hungers and thirsts after me, and treats all else as unimportant.
15. I am (Bhaktaparadeena) the bond slave of my devotees, I love devotion.
16. He who withdraws his heart from wife, child and parents and loves me is My real lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea.
17. Saibaba: The key of my treasury is now placed in your hands. Ask for anything you want, Rs. 5 to 100 a month or what you will and I will give it to you.
Devotee (M B Rage) declines to ask.
SB: Ask something, I am anxious to give you.
D: Is it agreed that you will grant anything I ask for?
SB: Yes
D: Then, Baba, I want this. In this and in any future birth that may befall me, you should never part from me. You should always be with me.
