Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do
not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat them with due respect. Shri Hari (God) will
be certainly pleased if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked and your
verandah to strangers for sitting and resting. If anybody wants any money from you and you are not inclined to
give, do not give, but do not bark at him like a dog
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 seated in their hearts. I envelope all the creatures, the movable and immovable world. I
am the Controller - the wire-puller of the show of this Universe. I am the mother - origin of all beings - the
Harmony of three Gunas, the propeller of all senses, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.
Nothing will harm him, who turns his attention towards Me, but Maya will lash or whip him who forgets Me. All the
insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable world, is My Body or Form
If a man utters My name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes, increase his devotion. And if he sings
earnestly My life and My deeds, him I shall beset in front and back and on all sides. Those devotees, who are
attached to Me, heart and soul, will naturally feel happiness, when they hear these stories. Believe Me that if
anybody sings My Leelas, I will give him infinite joy and everlasting contentment. It is My special
characteristic to free any person, who surrenders completely to Me, and who does worship Me faithfully, and who
remembers Me, and meditates on Me constantly. How can they be conscious of worldly objects and sensations, who
utter My name, who worship Me, who think of My stories and My life and who thus always remember Me? I shall draw
out My devotees from the jaws of Death. If My stories are listened to, all the diseases will be got rid of. So,
hear My stories with respect; and think and meditate on them, assimilate them. This is the way of happiness and
contentment.
The pride and egoism of My devotees will vanish, the mind of the hearers will be set at rest; and if it has
wholehearted and complete faith, it will be one with Supreme Consciousness. The simple remembrance of My name as
‘Sai, Sai’ will do away with sins of speech and hearing
To give liberation - self-realisation to the Bhaktas is the mission of the saints, and for Sai - the Chief of
them, that mission is inevitable. Those who take refuge in His Feet have all their sins destroyed and their
progress is certain. Remembering His Feet, Brahmins from holy places come to Him and read scriptures and chant
the Gayatri mantra in His presence. We, who are weak and without any merits, do not know what Bhakti is but we
know this much, that though all others may leave us, Sai won't forsake us. Those whom He favours get enormous
strength, discrimination between the Unreal and the Real and knowledge.
Sai knows fully the desire of His devotees and fulfills the same. Hence they get what they want and are grateful.
So we invoke Him and prostrate ourselves before Him. Forgetting all our faults let Him free us from all
anxieties. He who being overcome with calamities remembers and prays Sai thus, will get his mind calmed and
pacified through His grace
Baba Said - "It is true that you give to the persons present; but if none be near-by, what could you or I do But
do you remember Me before eating? Am I not always with you? Then do you offer Me anything before you eat?"
Oh Sai, create in us regard for Your stories. Let the readers and audience devour them with the same relish with
which the chatak bird drinks the water from the clouds and becomes happy. While listening to Your stories, let
them and their families get all the sattwik emotions, viz. let their bodies perspire, let their eyes be full of
tears, let their prana be steady, let their minds be composed, let their hair stand on end, let them cry, sob and
shake, let their hostilities and their distinctions, great and small vanish. If these things happen, that is a
sign of the grace of the Guru dawning upon them. When these emotions develop in you, the Guru is most pleased and
will certainly lead you on to the goal of self-realisation. The best way, therefore, to get free from the
shackles of Maya is our complete and whole-hearted surrender to Baba. The Vedas cannot take you across the ocean
of Maya. It is only the Sad-guru, who can do so and make you, see the Lord in all creatures.
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
The udi will be most useful for my devotees. Preserve it carefully. My men will throng to Shirdi like ants. Fear
not. I am always with you. Men may come and men may go. What do we have to do with it? How does it concern us?
Be hospitable to anyone who comes to you. Give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothing to the naked
and shelter to the homeless and God will bless you. Whatever you give me will come back to you redoubled. If you
sow then only can you reap.
Believe Me , though I may pass away, My bones in My grave ( Samadhi) will give you Hope and Confidence. Not
only Myself but My Tomb (Samadhi) would be speaking and communicating with all those who surrender themselves
wholeheartedly to Me.
Whatever happens, never DESERT your Guru; instead you should always remain at steady At-One-Ment with Him.
Always remember that your Guru's loving glance gives you HAPPINESS.
Look at Me with sincere Devotion and I, in turn, look at you likewise. Sitting in this Masjid (Sai's dwelling
place), I speak the truth & nothing but the TRUTH. Have FAITH & CONFIDENCE in your Guru and know well that He is
the Sole Actor or Doer.
PATIENCE is the mine of Virtues and Consort of Good Thoughts. FAITH (Shraddha or Nishta) and PATIENCE (Saburi)
are like the Twin Sisters loving each other very intimately.
PATIENCE can ferry you across the sea of mundane existence and can remove all sins, afflictions and get rid of
calamities in various ways, besides casting aside all fears ultimately making for success.
There are innumerable Saints in this World but your Guru is the Real Guru, whose Message must never be forgotten
when good messages are received from other Saints.
Bhagwat Geeta (Sacred Book of Hindus) says disciple must completely surrender Body, Mind and Wealth (possessions)
to the Guru to attain self- realization.
Love your Guru with all your heart and surrender & prostrate before Him with reverence; then there will be no
sea of Mundane Existence to cross over just as there is no darkness before the Sun.
All Sadhanas ( Spiritual Practices like Tapa--Penance, Yoga practices or studying Sacred Scriptures) are not just
enough to attain Self-Realisation unless accompanied by BHAKTI (Devotion). Knowledge of Vedas or Great Jnani's
reputation or mere formal Bhajan can achieve NOTHING without a firm Devotion (Bhakti).
Do not retaliate even if someone does any evil. If you must do anything, do some good unto others.
God lives in ALL BEINGS as well as in all Creatures, be they serpents or scorpions. He is the Great Wire-puller
of the World and all beings and creatures merely obey His Commands.
Unless He WILLS it, no one can do any harm to anybody. The whole world is dependent on Him and no one is
independent. So take pity on, or love, His Creatures, leave aside adventurous fights or killings and be
patient.The Lord is the PROTECTOR of all.
One who loves Me intensely, always sees Me. To him this world is a desert without Me. I lead him to
Self-Realisation. For I am dependent on him--one, who thinks and hungers only after Me, or who does not eat even
a morsel of food without first offering it to Me.
Such a sincere devotee merges in Me like a river merging into a sea. So shake off any trace of pride or egoism,
and surrender yourself to Me, who is always seated in your heart.
Lord Hari would be very pleased with you if you give water to the THIRSTY, bread to the HUNGRY, clothes to the
NAKED and shelter to the STRANGER for resting.
Know for certain that one who FEEDS the hungry, really serves Me with food. Regard this as an ETERNAL TRUTH.
If any one wants money and you are not inclined to give, decline courteously. But do not be cross or harsh with
him or make fun of him.
DEMOLISH this wall of difference separating you from Me and the Road will be clear and open for our meeting or
union. This sense of differentiation, as I and thou, is the real barrier keeping the Disciple away from His
Master and unless it is destroyed, the state of union or at-one-ment (attunement) cannot be attained.
God alone is the sole Protector. His Method is Unique, Extraordinary, Invaluable and Inscrutable. His WILL shall
be done and He alone will show us the WAY to satisfy our Heart's Desires.
It is on account of previous cordial relationship (Rhinanubandan ) that we have come together again in this life
too. Let us Love & serve each other and be Happy. He who attains the Supreme Goal of Life becomes Immortal and
Happy; all others merely exists in vain!
WEALTH should be the means to work out DHARMA (spiritual goal). It is wasted if used only for personal pleasures.
Unless you have given it before, You do not expect to get it now. So the BEST WAY to receive is to FIRST GIVE.
The giving away of DAKSHINA (donation) ( or in charity ) also develops non attachment (Vairagya) and increases
Bhakti & Jnanya. Give one to receive tenfold.
Let the senses do their allotted work of seeing. By all means appreciate Beauty of God's CREATION with a calm
and steady mind. Why should one be afraid of anyone when his heart is pure and the thoughts are free of evil.
The eyes may do their work of seeing Beauty in a woman or nature without being shy or restless. Make the mind
DESIRELESS and observe GOD'S WORKS of Beauty without fear, sin, craving or attachment!
But whatever you may do remember that you cannot escape the consequences of your Actions (good or bad) committed
either in this life itself or in your past life.
KARMA (actions) is the cause of happiness as well as SORROW too. One must therefore bear with it. GOD is the
sole just Dispenser of Justice & Protector too. Think of Him always. He will take care of you. Totally surrender
to His feet with the body, mind, wealth and speech and then see what He does for you.
Wealth and Prosperity are TRANSIENT and the body is subject to death and decay. While knowing this, do your DUTY
leaving all attachments to the things of this world and next. Anyone who does this and surrenders to the
Sacred feet of Lord Hari (or call Him whatever you like), will get FREEDOM from all troubles and will ATTAIN
BLISS.
The Lord runs to help one who remembers Him with Love and Affection and meditates on Him. Since your store of
past Spiritual Merits was considerable, you have reached Shirdi (Place of Salvation). But can Shirdi (God) do
anything if you ignore My MESSAGE and squander your only chance in criticizing others and looking down upon your
brethren?
RAM and RAHIM are ONE & the SAME without the slightest difference between them. Then why should their devotees
(Hindus and Muslims) quarrel amongst themselves ? Instead, the two communities must come closer and act sanely
to achieve National Unity (for achieving political freedom from the British). It is neither good nor in their
interest or welfare to fight, dispute, argue or emulate others.(Lokmanaya B. G. Tilak, the Father of Indian
Unrest, visited Shirdi and called on Him on May, 19th,1917 to consult Him about his future course of action in
the Struggle for Independence.He was advised to take rest.) OM OM OM OM SHREE SAI RAM
Only the fortunate few, free from blemish, take seriously to MyWorship. Even if you merely chant 'SAI', 'SAI', I
shall take you across the ocean. For I always drag My Devotee towards Me from far off places, or even across
the seven seas like a sparrow heading to its nest with a string tied to its feet.
Believe these words and you will certainly be benefited. My Worship needs no elaborate rituals like SADHANAS (
Spiritual Practices). I only rest where there is full sincere devotion and love.
While attending to your worldly duties daily, the mind should THINK of the Sadguru and His Leelas and be blessed
by Him.
If the devotee has sincere complete Faith in Me, his Mind will MERGE with the Supreme Consciousness. Even mere
chanting of My Name, as Sai, will do away with the sins of speech and hearing. It will remove FEAR of the
worldly existence and will lead you to the spiritual path, regardless of your caste, creed, or class.
If you take refuge in the Saints, without any reservations, you will be carried off safely across the Ocean of
Worldly Existence.
Always Meditate on My Formless Nirgun nature, which is Knowledge Incarnate, Consciousness and Bliss. If you
cannot do this, meditate on My Sagun (physical) Form, as you see Me here ( in Shirdi)(or in My Photo), from the
top to the toe every day and night.
When this is done, your thought processes (Vrittis) will become ONE POINTED and the distinction between the
Meditator (DHYATA), Meditation (DHYANA) and the object of Meditation (DHYETA) will fade away and the Meditator
will be ONE in consciousness and will merge in SELF .
MY devotees must strive to get Lord's Grace & Blessings, instead of struggling for necessities of life. For, they
will have plenty of food and clothing. I always care and provide for Welfare of My Devotees, who devoutly
worship Me with their Minds ever fixed on Me.
With the Guru's Form firmly fixed in the mind, and with the Mind and Senses thus fully absorbed in the worship
(meditation) of the Lord, My devotee must remember Me at all times, so that his MIND will not be attracted to any
other mundane things like Body, Wealth, Home or Worldly Honors nor wander elsewhere.
If My Leelas ( Stories &Teachings) are written about or devoutly sung and attentively listened to, Ignorance
will vanish, awareness of the body will reduce and strong waves of Devotion & Love would arise. If one ' dives'
deep into My Leelas, he will discover precious jewels of knowledge for "Self Realisation".
No one truly understands what I say--My Sirkar's Treasury (means Government, but here it refers to Lord's
treasury) is full and overflowing. I say 'dig out' and take this wealth of knowledge in cartloads (truckful).
The blessed son of a true Mother should fill himself with this 'wealth'.
Skill of My Fakir (GOD), the Leela (work) of My Bhagwan (God) and the attitude of My Sirkar is quite UNIQUE.
What about Me? My Body will mix with Earth, and my Breath with the Air, but this TIME won't come back again! I
will go somewhere, and sit in some place. The seductive Maya still troubles Me. I always feel anxiety for My
devotees. But one, who does any Spiritual Endeavor, will surely reap its fruits and one who remembers My Words
will get invaluable Peace & Happiness.
Function of the mind is to think and it cannot switch off this thinking process completely anytime. But if you
give it a sense object , like a Guru, it will meditate on Him alone. But sincere FAITH & PATIENCE are all
that are needed.
Believe Me, these simple WORDS will give you Hope & Confidence even when I pass away. But can you trust Me ?
For it is far more easy to put away Pride of Wealth, but immensely hard to give up Pride of Learning, Wisdom or
Righteousness?
My treasury is full with spiritual nuggets. I can give My Gifts to anyone found competent to receive them.
If you listen to Me carefully and always MEDITATE on ME, you will surely benefit. For, I never speak any UNTRUTH,
while sitting in this Masjid (Dwelling place of SaiBaba).
Many Ways lead to "Self Realisation", but they are difficult, passing through jungle full of tigers and wolves
(pitfalls & hardships). If you take a GURU, as your guide, He will take you straight to your destination,
avoiding all wolves, tigers and ditches on the way. Without a Guru, as your Guide, there is always a danger in
missing your destination in the darkness on the Way.
The Path of "Self-Realisation" (enlightenment) is as DIFFICULT as walking on a razor's edge. For, one must fully
surrender five pranas (Vital Forces) and five senses (of action, perception, mind, intellect and ego).
But listening to My Leelas (Stories or Teachings ) will create Shraddha (Faith) in your heart, and with a
little of bit Saburi (Patience) you can overcome the obstacles leading to "Self Realisation" & Bliss.
