Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 108

 O dear child

Whose welfare

Will always be Mine

To you I ask

Only of our one-pointed...

Complete and Unconditional

Devotion toward Me...

Whatever may happen

However much fears

May probe you

You must remember Me...

And Me alone...

And while the obstacles

Undo their knots

You, O child

Must remain

Free of them

And their threats...

While you are in the bliss

Of My remembrance

I shall protect you

And give to you

The best...

That you need

For that time!

Never forget

To do the task

That I alone have given

And while you rise

To the task

You must be merry

While beginning it...

While doing it...

While completing it

And while you offer

The results of the task

You must close your eyes

And remember

The glory of My presence

With you... within you...

From the beginning

To its end...

It is only

When you offer to Me

Such faith

That I return

To place My Self

In your pure heart

Over and over again!

I know best...

When to do...

Where to do...

How to do...

All you have to do

Is to know that

And remain unseparated

From that knowledge

And I shall do...

The rest...

Nothing comes to you

Without My will

Realize that

And be free of judgment...

O dear child, who

I will always love

No matter what

To you I ask

To see My love for you

Rather than

See your love for Me...

Nothing or no one

Is devoid of Me...

There is no one

Beyond My reach

There is no one

That I cannot touch

With My love

For Me, I can transform

Any heart... however lost

If I have willed

And chosen you...

You and every atom of you

Shall return...

Instantly...

To My abode... and to...

My peace...

I never accept

Anything in return

For what I do for you -

Whatever I ask of you

To do for Me...

Is again for you alone...

For when you smile...

When you are content

When you are peaceful

I am like a mother

That cannot stop weeping

For My child

Has received

My Grace

And is home

With Me!

And always remember

These words -

When remembered

They shall take you

On a journey

From this world

Of madness

To the world

Of truth...

And in that world

I alone am...

Always waiting

With open arms

For your return!

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 107

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 107

 Listen, O child
Do you hear the voice of the Self...
Do you know what it says...
Always...
'I am truth
I alone exist
In all that you see...
Hear... feel...
All that you have known
To have... To accept...
To hate... To reject
Has been Me and only Me...
And I am what you seek...
And I am what you fear...
I am from which you
Are born
And I am to what
You return to...
I am the breath
In your body...
I am the air you breathe
I am the food you eat
I am the water you drink
Even the space
In which you are contained
Is contained in Me...
I am the bond
Of every love...
I am the passion
Of your every attachment
I am the egg of
Your every thought...
I am the core
Of your life...
I am your Self
You know a speck of Me
As you 'I'
The rest of Me
You call the 'other'
And in that delusion
You have separated Me
From your Self
That separation is your fear...
That separation is your bondage...
You seek a friend
To hold for you
Your fears of Me
And of your Self...
No 'other' can carry
That burden for you...
Listen, O child
To what I say...
If you truly
Seek to know Me
And be free one day
Ask your fears
What it asks of you...
It shall know not
What to say
And when you have
Silenced your every fear
You shall be brave
And turn to seek
Your own truth...
Your self
That is not only this body
But every body of this Universe
And when the many 'I's
Shall join together
You shall see
Before you
The brilliant light
That hides
In the so many forms...
And then only, O child
Will all the 'other'
become the 'I'
And as you shall see
The universe enter you...
You shall enter
Into My word of truth!

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 106

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 106

 It is the fear
Of every being
To be alone one day...
Yet it is the desire
Of every being
To be completely and fully free...
One day...

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 105

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 105

 Everything that surrounds you
Is nothing
But a part of the true Self...
There is nothing
That can be apart
From that truth...
Yet... it is that what surrounds you
That deludes you
To believe yourself
To be attached to each of those...
And in that attachment
You see your Self as the 'I'
That survives amongst all of 'them'.

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 104

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 104

 The Soul... the Atma...
The True Self...
The Absolute
The Universal Infinite I
Are all one and the same...
They are the projectors
Of that brilliant light
That cannot be described
Nor be known...
And can never be understood!
The closest one can
Come to it
Is by seeing
Experiencing and Realizing
A speck of its brilliance
In one's own center
Of One's Self!

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 103

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 103

 You cannot change

The law of karma

Nor can you escape

Its strike

The winds of the past

Shall turn

And fill your present...

Be aware

Of this law

That gives no one

A second chance...

Whatever you have given

In time to another

Shall return

To you...

No friends... No relatives

Shall stand beside you

When the debt of karma
Shall come upon
Your lap...
All shall blame
The weaknesses in you
And while they flee
To their safety
You shall remain
In fear... alone
Paying its debt
And bound to
Its fee!
Remember, My Child
That the name of God
Shall rescue you then...
The name of
The pure...
The Supreme One
Shall take you across
The raging fires of karma...
Even in the moments of tears
You shall learn to smile
And when you shall
Speak to God
You shall feel
His strength
And see Him
Stand beside...
The name of
The pure One
Shall bathe you
In goodness...
Time, O Child
Shall come and go
And you shall
See... all... as
The Act of God
All will be well... then...
For you shall
No more fear
The law of karma
Whatever time
May bring
You shall accept
And in that strength
You shall see
That God Himself comes as the law
To bring you
Close to Him.

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 102

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 102

 Even when you are faced
With the worst... remind yourself,
"I must be calm...
For if I am to believe
This worst that I face
To be true,
Then the best in me
Shall shy
And sleep through
These moments of fear...
No! No!
I must be calm
I must believe in my Self
I must call upon
Its strength with pride...
The worst may have to wait
For I am awakening
My Self to rise
And when I have recovered
Its many arms
It is then that I
Turn to face
The unreal threat
That time has brought me!"

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 101

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 101

It is because

You have no faith

In your own Self

That you live a life

Of "ifs" and "buts"...

The one that realizes

His true Self

Transcends the rivers of fears

By simply knowing

At all times

That the ocean of bliss

Is within him...

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 100

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 100

Once again

The Lord spoke

To His devoted one

That had woken up

To a dark day

That poured

Upon him

The storms of fear...

He said,

"O child

Forget not

That even though

The sun hides

And does not

Shine upon you...

Even though the winds blow upon

The nests you have built

I am there...

And for the day

To turn bright

You, O child

Must turn

To your soul

And drawn its light

And that light within shall shine

The universe around

And in its effulgence

You shall see

That the storm

Feared itself and passed

And what stood

Before you

Was your hand

That clasped tightly to

My Divine hold...

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 99

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 99

The devotee cried

And prayed to the Lord,

"O Lord,

I am so tired...

I was first unhappy

With the world

Then I was distressed

With my loved ones and

Now I am fearful

Of my own self...

O Lord, what is it

That I must do

To be happy once again..."

The Lord

With His compassion

Graced His loved one

With His message

He said,

"O Sweet One

That finds no peace

You suffer

Only because

You forgot one thing

To remember and 

That is

In all what you saw

And all what you had

And in all that you...

Yourself were... at all times

In every place...

Was "Me" and only "Me"...

And if you are to remember

That even now

For a moment

All the peace

That you thought

That you lost

Would emerge from you

From within.

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 98

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 98

You are always

Asking the Lord,

"O Lord,

Please give me faith...

Please give me faith..."

And the Lord has replied,

"I have given to you...

My Self... for always...

Just know that to be true

At every moment...

And you shall find faith!

And you shall find faith!

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 97

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 97

The Self never asserts

On the moment that has passed

Or the moment to come...

It is only the ego that does...

The Self asserts

Only the present moment

For it is born for it

Is aware of it

And pulls within itself

The end or the dying moment

Of that present...

Into itself and moves to the next!

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 96

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 96

In difficult times

The first thing

That you must face

And uproot

Is your emotion...

Do not be attached

To the safe moments

Of your past

Instead become aware

Of the solid support

You have always had

Of your Self!

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 95

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 95

The strength

Of a million elephants

Will surge through you

The moment

You realize

That everything

That comes your way

Is God sent...

And all you have to do

Is to believe

That what He has sent

He alone shall do!

(Extract from : Sai Darshan II written by Seema M Dewan)

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 93

Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 93

Those that ask God

To protect them

Yet at the same time

Fear their protection

Lose both

The light of their intellect

And the grace from within.
