In Baba's Words - Baba's 'Special Characteristic' - Worldly Honors - How to Create a Peaceful and Carefree Mnd

An quote from Babaji in chapter 6 of the Sri Sai Satcharita

"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, leave worldly honors, try to get Lord’s grace and blessings, and be honored in His Court. Do not be deluded by worldly honor. The form of the Deity (Babaji) 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 vagrant (unsettled), it cannot be called well-merged."

"My eye is ever on those who love me."

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."

You Can Depend on Baba - He is Utterly Unfailing - He Will Spoil You with Miracles

I want to shout it from the mountain tops, I want everyone to know...

You can depend on Baba.

I have been vigilantly surrendering to him - constantly asking him what I should do, where I should go, what I should eat - everything. I have been making him my helmsman.

My experience?

He is utterly UNFAILING.

He is anticipating everything. He puts me in the right place, at the right time, and creates these unimaginable fortunate circumstances that leaves me speechless. This is happening everyday. 

When I'm struggling, he gives me patience.

When I falter, he redirects me.

When I'm worried, he gives me faith through some miracle.

When I ask him a question, he gives me the answer.

He is like a warm blanket, a safety net, a mother to a new born baby...

But so much more.

I've never felt so comforted, assured, protected, and FULL with Baba.

Words cannot begin to articulate the sense of peace and comfort that he is looking out for me EVERY SECOND. He simply will not you suffer needlessly. He will not let you be hurt, foolish, or deluded. Its absolutely incredible, this merciful mother Babaji.

He knows what I want before I do, and he makes it happen effortlessly. 

I just can't say enough - I could go on and on.

What I deeply, deeply desire is for YOU to experience Baba's grace for yourself. He is so merciful, nurturing, and compassionate. He is the great child-spoiler. 

If you are reading this, this is my attempt to convince you - GO TO BABA. All you have to do is think about him all the time, and allow him to work. The more you can give up what you think you ought to do, say, and be, the more you will see he will do it all for you, and in unimaginable ways. Utter perfection.

Surrender to him, and you don't ever have to worry about anything, ever again. You can rest assured he is taking care of your every need, and will put you in the right circumstances WITHOUT FAIL. He will be with you wherever you go, he will go ahead of you and organize everything in your favor. He will keep negative things away from you, and shower you with  miracle after miracle. You just have to let him.

Knock down the wall between you and him, let go, and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. He is the fast track, the shortcut to you highest success.

"Make Me Your Slave."

In Baba's Words - Just Remember the Guru's Loving Glance - No Other Practice Required - You Will Attain Spiritual Goal in Life

An Excerpt from Chapters 18 & 19 of the Sri Sai Satcharita

"The (mother) tortoise is on one bank of the river, and her young ones are on the other side. She gives neither milk, nor warmth to them. Her mere glance gives them nutrition. The young ones do nothing, but remember (meditate upon) their mother. The tortoise glance is, to the young ones, a down-pour of nectar, the only source of sustenance and happiness. Similar is the relation, between the Guru and disciples...

Just remember that Guru's tortoise-like loving glance gives us happiness. Do not try to get Mantra or Upadesh from anybody. Make Me the sole object of your thoughts and actions; and you will, no doubt, attain Paramartha (the spiritual goal of life).

Look at Me whole-heartedly, and I in turn look at you similarly. I speak the truth, nothing but the truth. No Sadhanas, nor proficiency in the six Shastras, are necessary. Have faith and confidence in your Guru. Believe fully, that Guru is the sole Actor or Doer. Blessed is he who knows the greatness of his Guru and thinks him to be the Trinity incarnate."

"It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come together - let us love and serve each other and be happy."

Miracles Are Just the Beginning with Baba...

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Shirdi Sai Baba is miracles.

"My business is to give blessings."

He is the personification of mercy.

He asks for faith and patience.

He also asks for devotion.

"I love devotion."


"If a devotee is about to fall, I stretch out my hands to support him or her."
"I think of my people day and night. I say their names over and over."

"There shall be no want in the house of my devotee."

Why, you may wonder, would someone who has it all want your devotion?

Devotion is love, and love is the force that dissolves the ego. The ego is the wall between us and Baba. Once that wall is knocked down, then a clear channel is established between yourself and Baba, who is your highest self. Once this happens, you're finished.

Then there is an effortless flow of his blessings, guidance, and protection ever pouring onto you. Miracles can happen instantaneously. Fear and worry will vanish. Peace, bliss, and the highest consciousness will dawn within you.

Union with Baba is union with your divine self:

" I am the Controller - the wire-puller of the show of this Universe. I am the mother - origin of all beings - the Harmony of three Gunas (3 innate qualities), the propeller of all senses, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. Nothing will harm him, who turns his attention towards Me, but Maya will lash or whip him who forgets Me. All the insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable world, is My Body or Form". (Chapter 3 Sri Sai Satcharita)

Babaji's teaching is devotion, that is what he wants from us, and it is not for him, but for our highest benefit. Keep thinking of him, saying his name (Sai, Sai, Sai), and feeling love for him. Surrender. 

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

His blessings and mercy are abundantly available, we just have to keep making the effort and he takes care of the rest.

In the name of Sai.

"If you reach out to me, I will reach out to you."
