| Message
for the Week : Remembrance |
A devotee should always, every moment, remember his soul relationship with Baba and feel affinity. The more we will remember, the closer we will feel with Him. This remembrance is like the life force of all other aspects of devotion, so it is of first importance.
Remembrance of any of the names, leelas, virtues, abodes, and the associates of Shirdi Sai can be done singly or collectively. So, while doing the chanting or while listening to a chant or while remembering a chant in our mind we should feel the synonymity of Blissful sweetness of Baba with the name, and, at the same time, think of any leela, or feel and imagine the presence of Baba near us.
Bhakti is the selfless remembrance of Baba. It is accompanied by the feeling of affinity and a desire to increase longing. Such a devotion purifies the heart of the devotee and qualifies it to receive the Grace of Baba.
The practical and best way of Baba devotion to increase the longing for the vision of Shirdi Sai is to remember the Divine relationship and to meditate on the form and the leelas of Shirdi Sai Baba affectionately.
Baba devotees who have read Shri Sai Satcharitra experience this all the time when they chant His name and meditate on Him. It brings up nostalgic moments as if we are in Dwarkamai and He, the graceful and handsome Sai, standing on the edge of the Masjid and distributing
Udi to each and every Bhakta, with a view to his welfare.
He, Who thinks of the world as an illusion and Who is ever engrossed in Supreme Bliss before Him, we humbly prostrate ourselves. |

"If
we believe in Sadguru's holy feet, He can change our fortune
for the better. If we serve Him nicely, we get rid of our
samsar".

| Question
of the Week...Devotees Asked...Guruji Answered
|
|
Question
: I am very much drawn to Sai Baba, and I consider myself His devotee, but I have trouble keeping Him in mind throughout the day. I would like Him to be constantly present in my mind and heart.
Does this come by His grace only?
Answer
:
Your thought process is noble and correct. Don’t worry at all if you can’t keep Him in mind constantly because you have to do other things also where mind has to be applied. Baba is aware of your problem. Do as much as you can. Gradually things will improve.

Experience : Prayed Baba in desparate times |

Happy new year to you all! I would like to share one of the wonderful experiences with you all.
I am doing my Ph.D in USA.
I am categorised as an international student. So I had to pay a huge amount as my fee. First semester with a great difficulty my husband and my brother managed to pay the fee. We were hoping that I would get some funding from the University next semester. But nothing worked for me. The situation was without a ray of hope. Wherever I go I get the same answer from everyone saying that they are not hiring anyone. So I was really worried about the whole thing. Then my uncle and my husband and my brother assured me that as long as we have faith in Baba everything would work. They said if you pray to Baba with all your heart everything is possible. That turned out to be true. The very next day I was employed. I can't tell you how happy I am.
I want to share with you all that all my life Baba is been helping me in
every possible way. But in the desperate times I totally forget all that and start worrying. Now I have learnt that nothing is impossible for Baba. When Baba is there for us we should never loose any hope. He is there to help us all the time. He will never forsake us! So never in your life loose hope in desperate hours. Baba is there to take care of us.
