How to Attain the 4 Goals of Life without Having to Ask for Them

An excerpt from Chapter 6 of the Sri Sai Satcharita

"If any one prostrates before Sai and surrenders heart and soul to Him, then [without having to ask for it], all the chief objects of life:

+ Righteousness/Perfect Action (Dharma)
+ Wealth (Artha)
+ Fulfillment of Desires (Kama)
+ And Liberation/Enlightenment (Moksha), are easily attained.

...So says definitely, Sai Baba."

Baba on merging with him/his grace, in his own words:

"There will never be any dearth or scarcity, regarding food and clothes, in any devotees’ homes. It is my special characteristic, that I always look to, and provide, for the welfare of those devotees, who worship Me whole-heartedly with their minds ever fixed on Me. Lord Krishna has also said the same in the Gita. Therefore, strive not much for food and clothes. If you want anything, beg of the Lord to leave worldly honors, for his grace and blessings to be honored in His Court.

Do not be deluded by worldly honor. The form of the Deity should be firmly fixed in the mind. Let all the senses and mind be ever devoted to the worship of the Lord, let there be no attraction for any other thing; fix the mind in remembering Me always, so that it will not wander elsewhere, towards body, wealth and home. Then it will be calm, peaceful and carefree. This is the sign of the mind, being well engaged in good company. If the mind is unsettled, it cannot be called well-merged."


"I you take one step towards me, I will take 100 steps towards you."
