CHAPTER:2

We should listen to elders.

in the east the rays of bright light are spreading.With the first rays of dawn,coming,and projecting from behind the mountains the buds have bloassomed and adding fragrance to the surrounding.The droplets of dew are like lustrous pearls that gently arranged on the carpets of green grass.
The chirruping sounds of birds are singing Suprabhatham- the welcome song of early Sunrise.
At one corner a little deer had drunk the milk of its Mother to its hearts content.As it had recouped energy,it hopped here and there.
the green carpet of grass.. very thickly interwined creepers of plants had filled its heart with enthusiasm.the happiness doubled.After all,it is little dear and then it making tiny jumps.It has come to the joy of  the frolic.Gradually that hops turned into a run.It had gone a little distant away from the mother.The mother already been warning .It is common to be overjoyed,exciting in the fledgling stage of walking...don't go quite a long.Beware that you might get lost in the forest.But had the tiny creature cared to listen?
No.
Looking that beautiful forest,hoping and with quick cadence it ran speedily in the forest,it had gone into the dense forest,somehwere it had stopped as it was exhausted.On every corner there are dense thickest'it had no idea on how it could get back.
That calf was looking with fear and fret.A tiger waiting for that very oppurtunity had come before it.The beast was waiting for its turn to gulp the deer.Till such a time the deer hadn't realizsed its grave mistake of paying a deal ear to the advice of mother.
The warmth in the mother's touch..milk it drank to the hearts content...beautiful scenes..the memories of its hops and jumps with the joy of wachting..Als,How all these things turned in a short while horrible.

It had come to grip that is won't save its life from the cruel animal.Finally it rememberd mother's narration to someone while it was in womb "We get good results by listening to Mother,Father,Teacher..ignoring them would be fatal."
It repented that it had mjistken motehrly advice or its own saftey as an attempt of building the spirit.
It remembered Guru.
That is the noble teacher baba.
The little deer is bleesed.
With baba's grace a fresh lease are received.

Our shelter now is  in sai's lotus feet

To Day man is also caught in the forest of world like a little deer.Unable to find the way out he is looking at various directions in bewilderment.Dangers taht are like predators,thickets like troubles are forming a web of spiders around him.In these tough times alone the helping hand of noble teacher hat takes us near and provides us on the right path and causes personality growth are needed.The tired minds need that consolation which soothes us.

Fortunatly our Guru- competent,nobel master Sri Sainatha will always stand by the side of faithful devotees.In return Baba seeks from us TWO qualities as Dakshina - sacrifical offerings.They are devotion and patience.They aren't spiritual...the necessary ladders that causes personality devolpment and helps in reaching the pinnacles of success in life too!
Those who cultivate these idelas completly will be rich in terms of personality growth.

Sri Sai is that heavenly form in which complete detachment,perfect knowledge and infinite mercy are very thickly interwoven.In the complete ideal of Sri Sai is bring full of philanthropy.On following it there will be commendable devolpment.If one puts into practise the preaching's of baba one acheive total flowering of the wisdom.Baba has added humanitarian colours to his leelas-Miraculous deeds.

With Dakshina he taught us the importance of charity.He personally demonstrated the spirit of lotus feet by living amidst all sorts of apmps and yet being above.Sai ideal is unity in diversity. Sri Sai is spiritually very powerful and spent the enire avatar's span in supporting the devotees,forging their misdeeds and moving them on rectitude. Sri Sai is that peerless,divine incarnated form who helped devotees climb steps in their spiritual path.Hence baba became a Sadguru who is very powerful.
Let us walk on the path shown by baba and get spiritual English tenement.
They are Sri sai's foot prints,it is our turn to step ahead.

THAT,THAT IS SAIDHAMAM

That on looking sight is Shirdi
God descended in human form there itself
That is Lendi garden.
It was the little flower garden which Baba himself planted and watered to grow on a previous occasion.
It might be as a taken of gratitude that the flowery plants are tossing up heads when air blows over and becoming feathery fans to Baba.
The adjacent one is Chavidi.
That is the place where Baba personally conducted festivities with the people by proclamining " God is one..."that is why there is a  festival look.
They look as if the umbrella is held for Baba...they are Nimba trees.
They are the 'Majestic trees' which became the dias for Baba's sermons.
Look here!Mother Dwarakamayee!
They are the streets of commoners of Shirdi town.
How Blessed are those streets and that soil on which Baba moved everyday!
That brightly sparkling one,that is Samdhi mandhir.
Doesn't it look that Baba who declared " I shall execute all responsibilities from my Samadhi" was indeed involved in that job".
Have you noticed that holy sings at Sri Sai's back which is full of glorious light?
They are the waves of wisdom distributed for the world by Baba....examine more closely...in that disc of light the globe and other galaxies are spread.I even look as if the vast cosmic egg and endless heavenly bodies are revolving around Baba.
That very eyes showering looks of  mercy and grace appear inviting 
"Come!come on" devotees.
Watch that abahya mudra-the gesture of protection Sai giving with a lovely smile.It is that hand which caressed several innocent rives of Shirdi streets.The Oodhi sacred ask dropped from that hand has breathed life into several others.
That feet....the highest abode(Paramapadam).
Even to touch it one should have piety and good luck!
Let us bow our heads and salute to that personified divinity and peerless,auspicious form!
king of Kings,Yogiraj,over mind,noble teacher Sainatha-hail to thee!
Hearts fully remember 'Sai'call widely open mouth and God-Baba answers "yes".
Then our entire life is "blissful".

The Stream of lord of the universe's ideal.


Bhagvad Gita is a compendium of personality development,for baba himself executed,its contents.There fore Sri Sai Baba became competent noble teacher.Sri Sai Baba hadn't asked anyone to follow and do difficult things.Baba had shown a practically feasible path of path of personlaity growth and accumilation of knowledge.Sri Sai never asked people to give up desires or break the bond of samsara.He advised devotees coming to him to come with desires. Sri Sai announced "I wanted to give as they start asking for wishes.I shall give whatever they asked "Sri Sai was miraculous yogi,who warned that by external pomp's or showy thing the meaning of human sruvival would be at state.

Chapter:6

If we had Baba's grace,everything we own!



When we elevate to the ideal "Sai"! Not me,everything is you",it would mean ascending a step in our spiritual practise.Them Sai will beenthroned in our hearts.
Sri Sai pervading as an omnipresent spirit in the universe in non-dualistic form.
Whatever image,object or creature we see with Love there is Sai ideal in it.But one condition.To see the master of the vast Cosmic egg and his single form we need to totally eliminate the layer of arrogance of our eyes.Only then we understand that without Sri Sai's wild nothing shall happens.
The moment my mind conceived the idea of bringing out Sri Sai's teaching and his gift of knowledge in a book with simple style,I rushed to Shirdi to seek his permission.Even that is an unexpected turn of events!
When i handed over the manuscripts to the priest praying "Lord! You are responsible for accomplishing this wish".he ahd placed the sciprt on Samadhi that they didn't touched it fully.In the place of great glow of sparkled by strong determination doubts pervaded.While returning feeling sadly "well! without  his will what could we do?" the security guard had forced us for another darshan.Whatelse it could be,other that his grace.
On this occasion i had the dharshan of his feet.It is astonishmnet for a while.I kept the manuscript on Baba's feet thinking "Sai!you are everything" and prayed whole heartedly.The papers flutterd as if Baba was blessings.
Fresh energy renewd my strong determination.With his grace.

This knowledge of letters is again the gift of Sri Sai!Baba himself is distributing this culled pearls of wisdom,his teachings to scores of devotees with his will.These are the stream of Ganga of the flowering wisdom.
Those who dipped in it with devotion will be blessed.
This is the golden pot of Sai Ambrosia.
Those who drank it without a droplet falling out are the noble souls.
This expereince holds testimony along the time and now that Sri Sai will conduct every work from his Samadhi.
What could i offer to baba and pay off my debts,for this rare oppurtunity?
Baba... only one desire...
Please make one tiny particle of dust at your feet,a strecth of vibuthi -scared ash of my forehead!
Shower your grace that it stands as truth and remain forver.
For this life these are enough Sai!


                      Sri SaiNathaya Namah!

Chapte:7


Sai Ideal is universe



Who is Sai.Not just a body of three meters.Sai Baba is the divine incarnated for in human shape.In the puranas and Upanishads there are descriptions of several legendary personalities. All such avatars -Incarnated divine forms are mostly with the objective of destroying demons.But,Sri Sai is God descended in human form with miraculous powers to wake up the human qualities of humans.
Sri Sai had added philanthropy to his magical deeds.
Through his discovers he had demonstrated practically feasible methods of men moving on the right path.Therefore "Sai Ideal" is living and universal.

The body perishes.But the soul is immortal and absolute truth.Soul is brahmam.Soul is but Sai Ideal.It is vigilant in the vast world.It is the competent,boble master Sri Sai who rules soul that regulates mind and five sense organs!
So,if all our burdens is entrusted to Sai and we go honestly with our work in words and deeds.He looks after the results.

Yogi's descend with a goal and objective.Once the task is accomplished they leave teh moral body.Since he departed by filling in every heart his ideal it remains in life for ever.So,in Shirdi which ever street we look at glimpses of Baba moving in flesh and blood will appear before our eyes.That festive diety appears as if carefully looking after us in Samadhi Mandhir.
That eyes will promise to observe us in all our actions.It is enough if the merciful eyes will promise to observe us in all our actions.It is enough if the mericful eyes of the Lord of mercy fall on us for a while.....Our life is blessed.On one occasion Baba talked to a devotee who came to see him like this:
"Why reaching for me here and these? Need not go somewhere in my search.Not only in you but in every creature dwells a soul.
That is also known as Spirit.That is 'I'.Know this and look in every thing me.Go ahead by sealing that I dwell in all living,Non-living things".

Chapter:8th

Blame makes one blamed


Baba used to stay  time and  again that  blaming others won't do.He advises people coming to him not to use abusive words of blame.It is well known that when two persons meet,they would talk about the non-present thrid one.It became on integral,past of human nature to give judment about the person not present between us,regarding his good,bad or sight wrong and to get malicious pleasures by degrading him.Baba neevr used to tolerate it.

Once Baba was watering the plants in lendi Garden.Baba overheared teh conversation in which one devotee was abusively remarking on another devotee's good and bad actions.Baba gestured him to come near.He sought an explanation,for wheather abusing one is sinful or not?

"When you are speaking negatively on another is means you are licking with tongue his impurity and cleaning it!Why do you burden his sins?Nver speak thus..." Baba suggested.
Then he showed a pig and continued "Look at that.How happily it is savouring human waste!The natures of people blaming others is so similar!The precious human life is duw to many pious deeds.
To make it purposful this type of nature must be given up".he conveyed a great moral.


Baba's advice will be brief,direct and clear.They hit it on the head.They take deep roots in hearts.So,the proverbs,words of advice that Baba preached have been popularized among people.Baba didn't teach something that one wouldn't understand.He didn't even attempt to teach ambiguity.What all Baba narrated is Truth.
He asked us to follow it and devolp an ideal way of life.For reaching nearer to Baba we need to follow his teachings and walk on rectitude with noble ideals.

"Those who blame others are like injuring me.They get my love who tolerates the blames and bears with thepain".

Chapter:9th


The Essential meaning of human life

God had breathed life into millions of species.For them he created a world too.However,he had created man quite distinct from all other creatures.He bestwoed on man the power of receiving knowledge.But then are all human beings getting this knowledge?

It is but natural to have extreme love and affection on our body.But in that love we are spending our energies to get temporary happiness and achieveing shordt term targets.Man allocates little time for accumulating knowledge which is essential for success in life.Ignoring blissful knowledge he will be after the mirages of temporary,ephemeral matters.Baba explains that it is not right path.
Baba wished that the body must be a means of attaining salvation and for self relaization and this should be primary concern for human beings.

We have to work ceaselessly,tirelessly to achieve any targets or collect information!There should be no room for laziness,carelesness in this endeavor.When our choosen path is correct,when we know hat it doesn't harm anyone and be instrumental in reaching the acme of perfection of life we should be immersed in it.
In our attempts of hitting target the tendency of lazziness,lethargy and procrastinating nature must be abandoned.

This is even what Baba told for liberation of soul.Life without attempting to get knowledge becomes beast-like.baba says furthur.

"The rider takes good care of his horse till he reaches destination.He would take all arrangements to aviod inconveniences.We should take similar care of our body.As against this these would be no use in grooming it(horse/body0 or beautifying it.
This body must be used for attaining salvation.
That should become the ultimate meaning of human life".
