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" !
