We should not worry. We should have implicit faith in Baba, in our Inner Pilot or in our spiritual Master. We have to feel that not only does Baba know what is best for us, but He will do what is best for us. We worry because we do not know what is going to happen to us tomorrow, or even the next minute. We feel that if we do not do something for ourselves, then who is going to do it? But if we can feel that there is someone who thinks of us infinitely more than we think of ourselves, and if we can consciously offer our responsibility to Him, saying, "You be responsible. You be responsible for what I do and say and grow into," then our past, our present and our future become His problem. As long as we try to be responsible for our own life, we will be miserable. We will not be able to properly utilize even two minutes out of every twenty-four hours we have. When we can feel that we are Baba's conscious instruments and He is the Doer, then we will not worry about our destiny; we will not be afraid of our destiny, for we will know and feel that it is in the all-loving Hands of Sai Ma, who will do everything in us, through us and for us.

Let us consciously offer our very existence - what we have and what we are - to Baba. What we have is aspiration to grow into the very image of Shirdi Sai, into infinite peace, Light and bliss. And what we are right now is just ignorance, the ignorance-sea. If we can offer our aspiration-cry and our ignorance-sea to Baba, then our problem is solved. We should not and we need not ever worry about destiny. On the strength of our surrender, we become inseparably one with Baba's cosmic Will.

Baba said "He who wants self realization and immortal life, must turn his gaze inwards, and look to his inner self".

Answer to last week Question

Answer

Wresting Bout with Mohdin Tamboli and Change in Life 

There was a wrestler in Shirdi, by name Mohdin Tamboli. Baba and he did not agree on some items, and both had a fight. In this Baba was defeated. Thenceforth, Baba changed His dress and mode of living. He donned Kafni, wore a Langot (waist band) and covered His head with a piece of cloth. He took a piece of sack-cloth for His seat, sack-cloth for His bed and was content with wearing torn and worn out rags. He always said that "Poverty is better than Kingship, far better than Lordship. The Lord is always brother (befriender) of the poor." 

Question of the Week:

What did Baba want to show when He became Chela to the Pseudo-Guru Javhar Ali.

Question : While treading the Guru path we are bound to commit mistakes, how and when should we convey them to the Guru? 

Answer :

Human being is bound to commit mistakes. The Sadguru knows that his disciples will make a mistake in the game of ‘maya’. Sadguru remains alert to stop them from doing so. Because of own mistake if the disciple falls into the danger then ‘Sadguru’ directly or indirectly helps him out. Baba used to say. Know it that wherever you are and whatever you do I am fully aware of that. Sai Baba’s life history shows that he was omniscient. Guru knows how to take His disciple ahead or stop him from committing mistakes. We certainly get protection of the Guru for the mistakes unknowingly done by us, but we should try that the mistakes knowingly committed should not be repeated. Sometimes we are not able to follow the Guru path. Guru does not feel bad about it. He is beyond the gunas of anger and hatred. He only has compassion in Him. He watches the true intention of the disciple to move ahead on the Guru Path. If the will power is strong and there is complete surrender for the Guru then He keeps the disciple with Him despite his mistakes.

JAI SAI NATH !!!

I am a devotee of Sai Baba. After reading Sai Satcharita I came to understand Baba likes flowers and garlands. Since I reside at US I thought my wish is little bit difficult. But in no time I found the website of Sai Baba virtual Pooja Room in which I was able to shower baba flowers and garland him daily with 108 Sai Namavalli with roses. It is a miracle that my wish was fulfilled at least this way. I thank the person who has created this website and whenever I feel sad or worried my only job is to pray Baba with this site. Thank you Sai Baba for giving me the satisfaction in this way at least. 

You are great.

Om Sai Ram.
