Do not worry about others' sins, you should mind your ownself and keep it taintless pure"

Why do we suffer?
God or His Name is the sole strength in living against all odds and uncertainties. If one is not at cross purposes with Him, one finds His manifestation in every happening. But, one has to bear with patience the onrush of the forces one has let loose. Yoke yourself unto Him and He will bear the brunt.

Take refuge in none but Him. Dependence on Him makes one fearless. Human beings will enjoy three-fourths of life and one-fourth they will suffer. But, we lose our patience and do not accept even that one-fourth of sorrows given by Him.

Don't be obsessed with any wish. Shake off sadness. Unhappiness is part of the ego. Beyond it, no such thing exists. That you have forgotten Truth (that God is within) is the root cause of your misery.

A painful blow becomes bearable to a great extent by His remembrance. As He inflicts blows on you, so also He gives you the capacity for bearing the suffering. As one tolerates unbearable situations with patience, a time comes when He resolves all problems. Whenever you have tumults in mind, try to remember this very often. You can do this. The key is with Him. Truth wins. He is your shield. Destiny still comes but He eases the suffering.

When you have the shelter of Satyanarayan (God within), He will test you in various ways. Your duty is not to get agitated when these sorts of events hurt you. There is a saying of Baba, "You look to Me, I look to you. Even then, if they do not leave Me and still seek Me, I then become their humble servant."

The smiles and frowns of life are His tokens of love. Bear them with loving patience, you have to forsake nothing. Neither indulge, nor restrain.

If you have devotion, you need fear nothing. Devotion is never devoid of strength. So many varied problems and hindrances must come, otherwise people won't understand and realize how and why He is the best of all friends and companions. He is the Dearest One, who keeps us protected in all calamities and adversities, which are unpredictable. People falter in life and suffer by discarding Him. But, they can't do anything without Him. Have faith in Him, unflinching faith. Love Him. Hazards take care of themselves. Remembering and depending on Him make one fearless in life, whatever may happen.

He gives us jolts so that we can be ready to taste real happiness with Him, to make us free of maya, or mind and attachments. We do not know His Will, so we grieve over all He does, but He always does everything for the best. Do not worry. Never try to understand. Only accept as a gift whatever He gives, take it as His blessing. When one feels, "I am helpless, my strength fails" He comes to hold the rudder. Being always in the midst of people with their selfishness, jealousy and hatred, the mind is afflicted with pain. These afflictions are shaken off like dust through devotion and remembrance of God's Name within.

He, the Almighty, by His wish and touch takes away the worldly attractions gradually to bring one to a blissful, peaceful state. A person cannot realize this state on his or her own due to the intensity of illusory worldly desire. You do everything, see everything, listen to everything, but do not get so deeply involved as to invite sufferings through them. Of course, He will ensure this, you don't have to make any effort for it. Just keep Him in your remembrance.

Thank you for this wonderful message. It is an answer to my thoughts this morning. Baba is giving me untold trouble so that I value his presence and not take him for granted. May Baba always be with us all..

[Dipika]

OMSAIRAM!Sai baba has said why fear when I am here...Baba will take care of us

तुने साई द्वार पे
 जितने दीप जलाए
उतना ही अंधियारा तेरे
 जीवन से घट जाए

रब से दूर रंगीली दुनिया
 खोटी है चमकीली दुनिया
कब तक तू इस जग चकियन के
 पाट मैं पिस्ता जाये

तुने साई ..........

ओ दीवाने ओ संसारी
असली पूजा शुक्रगुजारी
हर हालत मैं वो मुस्काये
साई भजन जो गाये
तुने साई ..........

करता जा साई की सेवा
धुप-छाव है मीठा मेवा
ज्ञान-ध्यान का राज जो समजे
कभी ना धोका खाये
तुने साई ..........

जग है कठपुतली का मेला
हर जन नाचके जाये अकेला
पल भर के मेहमान  बता
किस बात पे तू इतराए

तुने साई ..........

मन सागर की चंचल लहरों
घाट-घाट पे कभी ना ठहरो
मोंती वो, जिसे खुद  लेने को
सिप तैरती आये

तुने साई ..........

सन् 1910 में मैं एक दिन प्रातःकाल श्री साई बाबा के दर्शनार्थ मसजिद में गया । वहाँ का विचित्र दृश्य देख मेरे आश्चर्य का ठिकाना न रहा कि साई बाबा मुँह हाथ धोने के पश्चात चक्की पीसने की तैयारी करने लगे । उन्होंने फर्श पर एक टाट का टुकड़ा बिछा, उस पर हाथ से पीसने वाली चक्की में गेहूँ डालकर उन्हें पीसना आरम्भ कर दिया ।

आटा पीसने का तात्पर्य

शिरडीवासियों ने इस आटा पीसने की घटना का जो अर्थ लगाया, वह तो प्रायः ठीक ही है, परन्तु उसके अतिरिक्त मेरे विचार से कोई अन्य भी अर्थ है । बाबा शिरड़ी में 60 वर्षों तक रहे और इस दीर्घ काल में उन्होंने आटा पीसने का कार्य प्रायः प्रतिदिन ही किया । पीसने का अभिप्राय गेहूँ से नहीं, वरन् अपने भक्तों के पापो, दुर्भागयों, मानसिक तथा शाशीरिक तापों से था । उनकी चक्की के दो पाटों में ऊपर का पाट भक्ति तथा नीचे का कर्म था । चक्की का मुठिया जिससे कि वे पीसते थे, वह था ज्ञान । बाबा का दृढ़ विश्वास था कि जब तक मनुष्य के हृदय से प्रवृत्तियाँ, आसक्ति, घृणा तथा अहंकार नष्ट नहीं हो जाते, जिनका नष्ट होना अत्यन्त दुष्कर है, तब तक ज्ञान तथा आत्मानुभूति संभव नहीं हैं ।


यह घटना कबीरदास जी की उसके तदनरुप घटना की स्मृति दिलाती है । कबीरदास जी एक स्त्री को अनाज पीसते देखकर अपने गुरू निपतिनिरंजन से कहने लगे कि मैं इसलिये रुदन कर रहा हूँ कि जिस प्रकार अनाज चक्की में पीसा जाता है, उसी प्रकार मैं भी भवसागर रुपी चक्की में पीसे जाने की यातना का अनुभव कर रहा हूँ । उनके गुरु ने उत्तर दिया कि घबड़ाओ नही, चक्की के केन्द्र में जो ज्ञान रुपी दंड है, उसी को दृढ़ता से पकड़ लो, जिस प्रकार तुम मुझे करते देख रहे हो ष उससे दूर मत जाओ, बस, केन्द्र की ओप ही अग्रसर होते जाओ और तब यह निशि्चत है कि तुम इस भवसागर रुपी चक्की से अवश्य ही बच जाओगे ।

"Baba would accept with appreciation any small thing offered with love and devotion, but if the same thing was offered with pride and haughtiness, He would reject it. Being Himself full of Sat Chit Anand (Existence, Knowledge and Bliss) He did not care much for mere outward formalities; but if an offering was made in a meek and humble spirit, the same was welcome and He accepted it with pleasure and avidity" - Shri Sai Satcharitha by Hemadpant.

Dr. Pandit's Worship

One Dr. Pandit, a friend of Tatyasaheb Noolkar, once came to Shirdi for Baba's darshana. After saluting Baba, he stayed in the Masjid for some time. Baba asked him to go to Dadabhat Kelkar. He went to Dadabhat, by whom he was well received. Then Dababhat left his house for Puja and Dr. Pandit accompanied him. Dadabhat worshipped Baba. Nobody until then dared to apply sandal paste to Baba's forehead. Only Mhalsapati used to apply it to His throat. But this simple-hearted devout, Dr. Pandit, took Dabadhat's dish containing Puja-materials and taking sandal-paste out of it, drew a Tripundra, i.e. there horizontal lines on Baba's forehead. To the surprise of all, Baba kept silent without uttering a single word. Then Dababhat that evening asked Baba, "How is it, that though You object to the sandal-paste being applied by others to Your forehead, but You allowed Dr. Pandit to do so now?" Baba replied that Dr. Pandit believed Him to be the same as his Guru, Raghunath Maharaja of Dhopeshwar, known as Kaka Puranik, and he applied the paste to His forehead, as he was doing to his Guru. Hence He could not object. On enquiry, Dr. Pandit told Dadabhat that he took Baba as his Guru Kaka Puranik, and hence he marked the Tripundra on Baba's forehead, as he did on his Guru's head.

Though Baba allowed the devotees to worship Him as they pleased, still sometimes, He acted in a strange way. Sometimes, He threw away the Puja-dish and was wrath Incarnate, then who could approach Him? Sometimes, He scolded the devotees, at times, He looked softer than wax, a statue of peace and forgiveness. Though He seemed to shake with anger and His red eyes rolled round and round, still, He was internally a stream of affection and motherly love. Immediately, He called out His devotees and said, that He ever angry with His devotees; that if mothers kicked their children and if the sea turned back the rivers, He would neglect the devotees' welfare: that He, the slave of His devotees, always stood by them, and responded to them, whenever they called upon Him, and that He always longed for their love.

Baba's control over the elements. (1) Once at evening time, there was a terrible storm at Shirdi. The sky was overcast with thick black clouds. The winds began to blow forcibly; the clouds roared and the lighting began to flash, and the rains began to descend in torrents. In a short time, the whole place was flooded with water, All the creatures, birds, beasts and men got terribly frightened; and they all flocked to the Masjid for shelter. There are many local deities in Shirdi, but none of them came to their help. So they all prayed to Baba - their God, Who was fond of their devotion, to intercede and quell the storm. Baba was much moved. He came out and standing at the edge of the Masjid, addressed the storm in a loud and thunderous voice - "Stop, stop your fury and the calm." In a few minutes the rains subsided, the winds ceased to blow, and the storm came to a stop. Then the moon rose in the sky, and the people then went back home well-pleased

OMSAIRAM!Sai baba was a Hindu or a Muslim..Sai Baba was, saw no difference between caste and caste and even beings and beings. He took meat and fish with Fakirs, but did not grumble when dogs touched the dishes with their mouths

 If you think that He was a Hindu, He looked like a Yavan. If you think Him to be a Yavan, He looked like a pious Hindu. No one definitely knew whether He was a Hindu or a Mahomedan. He celebrated the Hindu festival of Rama-Navami with all due formalities, and at the same time permitted the ‘Sandal’ procession of the Mahomedans. He encouraged wrestling bouts in this festival, and gave good prizes to winners. When the Gokul Ashtami came, He got the ‘Gopal-Kala’ ceremony duly performed and on Id festivals, He allowed Mahomedans to say their prayers (Namaj) in His Masjid. Once in the Moharum festival, some Mahomedans proposed to contruct a Tajiya or Tabut in the Masjid, keep it there for some days and afterwards take it in procession through the village. Sai Baba allowed the keeping of the Tabut for four days, and on the fifth day removed it out of the Masjid without the least compunction. If we say that He was a Mahomedan, His ears were pierced (i.e. had holes according to Hindu fashion). If you think that He was a Hindu, He advocated the practice of circumcision (though according to Mr. Nanasaheb Chandorkar, who observed Him closely, He was not Himself circumcised. Vide article in Sai Leela on "Baba Hindu Ki Yavan" by B.V. Deo, page 562). If you call Him Hindu, He always lived in the Masjid; if Mahomedan, He had always the Dhuni - sacred fire there, and the following things which are contrary to Mahomedan religion, i.e., grinding on the handmill, blowing of the conch and bells, oblation in the fire, Bhajan, giving of food, and worship of Baba’s Feet by means of ARGHYA (water) were always allowed there. If you think that He was a Mahomedan, the best of Brahmins and Agnihotris, leaving aside their orthodox ways, fell prostrate at His Feet. Those who went to make enquiries about his nationality, were dumb-founded and were captured by his darshana. So none could definitely decide whether Sai Baba was a Hindu or a Mahomedan

OMSAIRAM!People were immensely benefited by having a darshana of Baba. Some became hale and hearty; wicked people were turned into good ones. Kushtha (Leprosy) was cured in some cases, many got their desires fulfilled, without any drops or medicine being put in the eyes, some blind men got back their sight and some lame ones got their legs. Nobody could see the end of His extraordinary greatness. His fame spread far and wide, and pilgrims from all sides flocked to Shirdi. Baba sat always near the Dhuni and eased Himself there, and always sat in meditation; sometimes with and on other times without a bath.

Baba’s All-pervasiveness and Mercy

In the year 1910 A.D., Baba was sitting near the Dhuni on Divali holiday and warming Himself. He was pushing fire-wood into the Dhuni, which was brightly burning. A little later, instead of pushing logs of woods, Baba pushed His arm into the Dhuni; the arm was scorched and burnt immediately. This was noticed by the servant Madhava, and also by Madhavrao Deshpande (Shama). They at once ran to Baba and Madhavarao clasped Baba by His waist from behind and dragged Him forcible back ward and asked, "Deva, for what have You done this?" Then Baba came to His senses and replied, "The wife of a blacksmith at some distant place, was working the bellows of a furnace;her husband called her. Forgetting that her child was on her waist, she ran hastily and the child slipped into the furnace. I immediately thrust My hand into the furnace and saved the child. I do not mind My arm being burnt, but I am glad that the life of the child is saved."
