om sai ram

In chapter XLVII of Shri Sai SAtcharitra,

it is written that,

Blessed is the face of Sai. If we cast a glance at Him for a moment, He destroys the sorrow of many past births and confers great Bliss on us; and if He looks at us with grace, our bondage of Karma is immediately snapped away and we are led to happiness. The river Ganges washes away the dirt and sins of all people, who go to her for a bath, but she intently longs for the saints to come to her, and bless her with the touch of their feet and remove all the filth(sins) accumulated in her. She knows, for certain that, this can only be removed by the holy feet of the saints. Sai is the crest-jewel of the saints.

In chapter XLVII of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written that,

one has to reap what one sows, and there is no escape, unless one suffers and squares up one's old debts and dealings with others, and that, greed for money drags the greedy man to the lowest level, and ultimately brings destruction for him and others.

In chapter XLV of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

An extract is given with a heading 'Wooden plank Baba's Bed-stead, and not Bhagat's'

Under this heading , it is written,

In His earlier days, Baba slept on a wooden plank, 4 arms in length and only a span in breadth with Panatis (earthen lamps) burning at its four corners. Later on, He broke the plank into pieces and threw it away (Vide Chapter X).

Once, Baba was describing the greatness or importance of this plank to Kakasaheb.

On hearing this, the latter said to Baba, "If you still love the wooden plank, I will again suspend or hang up one in the Masjid for You to sleep at ease." 

Baba replied, "I won't like to sleep up leaving Mhalsapati down on the ground."

Then, Kakasaheb said, "I will provide another plank for Mhalsapati too."

Baba said, "How can he sleep on the plank? It is not easy to sleep on the plank. He who can sleep with his eyes wide open can effect that. When I go to sleep I often ask Mhalsapati to sit by My side, place his hand on My heart and watch the 'chanting of the Lord's name' there, and if he finds Me sleepy, wake Me up. He can't do even this. He himself gets drowsy and begins to nod his head. When, I feel his hand heavy as a stone on My heart and cry out 'Oh Bhagat, he moves and opens his eyes. How can he, who can't sit and sleep well on the ground, and whose Asana(posture) is not steady, and who is slave to sleep, can sleep high up on a plank?"

On many other occasions, Baba said, out of love for His devotees "What (whether good or bad) is our's, is with us, and what is other's is with them."

In chapter XL of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written,

Blessed is Shri Sai Samartha, Who gives instructions, in both temporal and spiritual matters, to His devotees and makes them happy by enabling them to achieve the goal of their life. Sai, when places His hand on their heads, transfers His powers to them, and thus destroying the sense of differentiation, makes them attain the unattainable thing. He, Who embraces the Bhaktas, who prostrate themselves before Him with no sense of duality or differentiation. He becomes one with the Bhaktas, as the sea with rivers.

In chapter XLIX of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written that,

It is Sai Baba Himself Who inspires these stories and gets them written, as He desires. Our duty is to surrender completely to Him and meditate on Him. Practising penance is better than pilgrimage, vow, sacrifice, and charity. Worshipping Hari (Lord) is better than penance; and meditation on the Sadguru is the best of all. We have, therefore, to chant Sai's name, think over His sayings in our mind, meditate on His Form, feel true love for Him in our heart, and do all our actions for His sake. There is no better means than this for snapping the bondage of this Sansar. If we can do our duty on our part, as stated above, Sai is bound to help and liberate us.

In chapter L of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written that,

Victory be unto Sai, Who is the main-stay of the Bhaktas, Who is our Sadguru, Who expounds the meaning of the Gita and Who gives us all powers. Oh Sai, look favourably on us and bless us all.

The sandal-wood trees grow on the Malaya mountains and ward off heat. The clouds pour their rain-water and thereby, cool and refresh all the people. The flowers blossom in the spring and enable us to worship God, therewith. So, the stories of Sai Baba come forth in order to give solace and comfort to the readers. Both, those, who tell and those, who hear the stories of Baba, are blessed and holy.

It is a well-established fact that, though we try hundreds of means or Sadhanas, we do not attain the spiritual goal of life, unless a Sadguru blesses us with his grace.

In the epilogue of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

Greatness of Sadguru Sai is discussed here.

We prostrate ourselves before and take refuge in that Sai Samarth, Who besets all animate and inanimate things in the universe - Who pervades all creatures equally without any differentiation, to Whom all devotees are alike and Who knows not honour and dishonour, like or dislike. If we remember Him and surrender to Him, He fulfills all our wishes and makes us attain the goal of life.

This ocean of mundane existence is very hard to cross. Waves of attachments beat high against the bank of bad thoughts and break down trees of fortitude. The breeze of egoism blows with force and makes the ocean rough and agitated. Crocodiles in the form of anger and hatred move there fearlessly. Eddies in the form of the idea "I and Mine" and other doubts whirl there incessantly, and innumberable fishes in the form of censure, hate and jealousy play there. Though, this ocean is so fierce and terrible, Sadguru Sai is its Agasti (Destroyer) and the devotees of Sai have the least fear of it. Our Sadguru is the boat, which will safely take us across this ocean.

In chapter XLII of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is mentioned that,

The light of Guru's grace removes fear of the mundane existence, opens the path of salvation and turns our misery into happiness. If we always remember the feet of the Sadguru, our troubles come to an end, death loses its sting, and the misery of this mundane existence is obliterated. Therefore, those who care for their welfare, should carefully listen to these stories of Sai Samarth, which will purify their minds.

In chapter XXXIX of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written,

Blessed is Shirdi and blessed is Dwarakamai, where Shri Sai lived and moved, until He took Mahasamadhi. Blessed are the people of Shirdi, whom He obliged and for whom, He lived there. Shirdi was a small village first, but it attained importance, on account of His contact and became a Tirtha, holy place of pilgrimage. Equally blessed are the womenfolk of Shirdi, blessed is their whole and undivided faith in Him. They sang the glories of Baba, while bathing, grinding, pounding corn and doing other house-hold work.

In chapter XXXVIII of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

A heart touching incident is mentioned.

Once Hemadpant had eaten to his full capacity in this company, when Baba offered him a cup of butter-milk. Its white appearance pleased him, but there was no space for it. He however, took only a sip, on seeing his faultering attitude, Baba said, "Drink it all, you won't get any such opportunity, hereafter." He drank it off then, and found that Baba's words were prophetic, for He passed away after a brief period.

Now readers, we have certainly to thank Hemadpant. He drank the cup of butter-milk; but has supplied us with sufficient quantity of nectar in the form of Baba's Leelas. Let us drink this nectar to our heart's content and be satisfied and happy.

Omsairam

In chapter XXVII of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is written that,

The efficacy of God's name is well-known. It saves us from all sins and bad tendencies, frees us from the cycle of births and deaths. There is no easier Sadhana than this. It is the best purifier of our mind. It requires no paraphernalia and no restrictions. It is so easy and so effective.

In chapter XXX of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

it is mentioned that,

If anybody is in real earnest to see a saint, not only the saint but God also fulfills his wish. In fact the 'Sant' (Saint) and the 'Anant'(God) are one and the same, there is not the least difference between them. If anybody thinks that he will go on his own wish and see a saint, that will be a mere boast. Unless the saint wills it, no one is able to go and see him. Even the leaf of the tree won't move without his bidding. The more anxious a bhakta is for the visit to the saint, the more devout and faithful he is, the more speedily and effectively is his wish satisfied to his heart's content. He who invites anybody for a visit, also arranges everything for his reception.

In chapter XXXI of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

A verse from Bhagvad Gita(Chapter VIII -5-6) has been quoted, where Shri Krishna says, "he who remembers Me in his last moments, comes verily to Me; and he who meditates otherwise, at that time, goes to what he longs for."

All saints, therefore, recommended us to remember God and chant His name always, so that we may not be perplexed or perturbed, when the time for departure comes.

In chapter XXXI of Shri Sai Satcharitra,

A unique incident is described.

Seven days before Baba passed away a wonderful incident occurred at Shirdi. There came a country-cart and stopped in front of the Masjid. A tiger was on the cart, fastened with iron chains with its agonised face turned to the rear. It was suffering from some painful malady. Its keepers - three Derveshis - had been taking it from place to place and making money by exhibiting it. It was the means of their subsistence. They tried all sorts of remedies to cure it from the malady it was suffering from, but all in vain. Then they heard of Baba's fame and came to him with the animal. They got it down with chains in their hands and made it stand at the door. It was naturally fierce besides, disease-ridden. So it was restless. The people began to look at it with fright and amazement. The Derveshis told Baba everything about the animal and with His consent brought it before Him. As it approached the steps it retreated on account of the awe of Baba, and hung its head down. When both saw each other, it got on to the step and looked at Baba with affection. Immediately, it moved the tuft of its tail and dashed it thrice against the ground, and then fell down senseless. On seeing it dead, the Dervershis were much dejected and full of sorrow, but on proper thought they came to terms with it. They considered that as the animal was diseased and nearing its end it was very meritorious on its part that it met its death at the Feet of Baba. It was debtor and when the debt was paid off it was free and met its end at Sai's Feet. When any creatures bow down their heads at saints' feet and meet death they are liberated, unless they have got a good store of merit on their account, how could they get such a meritorious end?
