Sai Darshan II, Part 1 - Message 28

Whatever you give

Most importance to

That alone will remain

In your mind...

That alone will become

Your thought...

That alone will prompt you

What to say and do...

Soon the mind becomes consumed

And to divert it

Becomes an impossibility!

No doubt duty is important.

Work is important.

Survival is important.

But what is more important

Is that you in the midst

Of all these

Must remain peaceful,

Focused, content, fearless

Calm, patient and happy...

That is what is most important.

It is then that

Work becomes a selfless service

Duty becomes worship and

Survival becomes the media of

Self-Realization!

Sai Darshan 1 (Universal) - Part 1 - 27

I would like to write a few words of Mine,
On your mind, as if it were an empty page.
A page that reads no names but Mine.
May those names travel and lodge in your heart,
So very deep within.
And after they have made their home in there,
Let them be a part of the lips which pray,
And call Me over and over again:
"Sai, Sai, Sai, Sai, Sai, . . ."

My First Message : 'Worship In The Mind'

My First Message : 'Worship In The Mind'

WhenI was at Uravakonda studying in the High School, you know I came away one day and threw off my books and declared that I have My Work waiting for Me.  The Telugu Pandit (Scholar) described the incident of that evening to you all in his speech.  Well, that day when I came out publicly as Sai Baba, that first song I taught the gathering in the garden to which I went from the Telugu Pandit's house was : "Maanasa bhajare Guru charanam, Dustara bhav sagar taranam".

I called on all those suffering in the endless round of birth and death to worship the feet of the Guru (spiritual preceptor), the Guru that was announcing Himself, who had come again for taking upon Himself the burden of those who find refuge in Him.  That was the very first Message of Mine to Humanity.  "Maanasa Bhajare" "Worship in the mind" !

(Dussera 1953)                                                                                                                       


(Extract from : 'God Lives In Prashanti Nilayam')

My Creed

To live as gently as I can;

To be, no matter where, a man;

To take what comes of good or ill

And cling to faith and honor still;

To do my best, and let that stand

The record of my brain and hand;

And then, should failure come to me,

Still work and hope for victory.

To have no secret place wherein

I stoop unseen to shame or sin;

To be the same when I'm alone

As when my every deed is known;

To live undaunted, unafraid

Of any step that I have made;

To be without pretense or sham

Exactly what men think I am.

To leave some simple mark behind

To keep my having lived in mind;

If enmity to aught I show,

To be an honest, generous foe,

To play my little part, nor whine

That greater honors are not mine.

This, I believe, is all I need

For my philosophy and creed.

Eternal Sai - 29

It should be realized, however, that there is no greater friend for anyone than God. He is beyond the reach of praise or censure. He does not give up man on the ground of the latter’s failure to come up to His expectations. That is why God has been given the appellation, Suhrid (a good friend). God desires no offerings from any devotee. God is the only one friend who confers benefits on devotees without expecting any return. Nevertheless, man does not readily accept such a friend. Only the man who accepts God as such a friend and is guided by His advice can understand the full meaning of Divine friendship. Faith of this nature alone constitutes true Jnana (sacred knowledge).

(SSS. Vol XXIV – Chap 2)

THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART (Chapter 5)(Para 6)

When all our actions are an offering to the Lord, actions are no longer worldly actions. Then the Lord is involved in all we do and work becomes worship. Our duty becomes a yoga, a means for union with the divine. Then our actions and our whole lives will have been elevated and become sanctified. And so, we fill our lives, our day-to-day movements with Him. Everything we do becomes spiritualised because the Lord is involved in our thoughts, in our actions and in our words. Well, when we, in this manner, are conscious of the Lord in everything that we do, then we begin to see the Lord everywhere. The Lord becomes part of our on-going moment to moment awareness. Then, just as the bud blossoms into the flower and the flower transforms into the fruit, that love becomes one pointed love. Then, for us, wherever we turn, there is only the Lord. Therefore, try to accept your lot in life but by all means pray for change. Accept the people that you have been sent to earth with without reserve and everything lies at your feet. Literally, the world is yours. The absence of likes and dislikes, acceptance and love denotes divinity. Do what is necessary in your life. Do your duty, do what you are expected to do and live without any thoughts. Do not think that this is good, this is not good, just do, that is all, and you will attain proximity to Him. This is what is called the evolvement of the human to the divine. Man has risen from dust to rock, from rock to plant forms, from vegetation to animal and from animal to human. Now, He must aim for the angelic, the divine ever higher and higher. Evolution is the name of the game. Man - desire = God, God + desire = man.

(From : THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART by R SAI)

God Is The Energy

We say, God is father, mother, friend, relative, knowledge, wealth and all.  God is the energy which drives us to action.  We should not waste our energy on useless things.

(Sanathana Sarathi, October 1993, pg 257)

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 54

You see Me in visions.
You see Me in dreams.
I stand before you in your waking state (vision),
And prove My omnipresence to you.
I come into your dreams,
To wake you from your deep slumber,
And to grant you the dreams of Me.
In your dreams,
I make them a reality.
But when you awaken from this reality,
Into the unreality,
You think of My appearance
As a mere dream.
You again tie yourself
With the ropes of maya,
And stand before Me, confused and full of doubts.
Do not doubt My Darshans.
Do not deprive yourself of Me constantly.
I have given you My word,
To be your Mother for all your births.
My word is never untrue,
And My Darshan is not a dream !
You pray, He wills, I come !
