किया कुछ ना मैंने शर्मसार हूँ मैं तेरी राहतों का करजदार हूँ मैं दिया कुछ नहीं बस लिया ही लिया है मैंने साईं तेरा शुक्रिया है बाबा तेरा शुक्रिया है

दो दिन जग मेँ जीना है, इस पर कया तू मान करे । झुठी काया झुठी माया, झुठा कया अभिमान करे ।। धरा रहेगा सब कुछ यहाँ पर, साथ नही कुछ जायेगा । निकल गया जब समय हाथ से, तलियाँ मल पछतायेगा ।। चेत जरा और नाम सुमिर ले, समय से लाभ उठा ले तू । भजन भगति मेँ दिल लगा कर, जीवन सफल बना ले तू ।

जिंदगी में सिमरन की मिठ्ठास रहे अपने सद्गुरु पे पूरा विश्वास रहे कहने को तो दुखों की नगरी है ज़िन्दगी पर ख़ुशी से कट जावे अगर दिखा दो इक बार, मुझे अपनी सुहानी शिर्डी, सुना है कि जन्नत से कम नहीं तुम्हारी शिर्डी, रहम कीजिये मेरा जहाँ में कोई ना, कि दर पे तुम्हारे कमी है कोई ना, कमी है कोई ना,

ॐ साँई राम!!! वाह रे वाह ओ समझदार इंसान इतना कुछ मिला तुझे शुक्र ना हुआ कुछ एक आध रह गया फट गिला दे दिया.

The Living Entity's feeling of being incomplete causes karmic actions. Every Action has a reaction, every karmic action reacts in good or bad results. This is because the living entity in this body feels himself to be incomplete and hence to fulfil the same incompleteness believes that by contemplating with the objects of his senses he shall become complete and hence performs karmic actions. If the living entity already believes himself to be complete and is ever satisfied with self, and enjoys within, ever satisfied within and is self realized will start dropping unrequired karmic actions and the remaining ones (all of which may still not be the required ones) he shall perform without attachment to the results of his actions and further knowing within himself that he actually does nothing at all because while performing actions he always knows that only the material senses are engaged with their objects and he is aloof from them and thus the results of such actions are burnt up with the fire of this knowledge and the living entitiy thus resides happily in the city of Nine gates (The material body which is made up of 9 outlets) niether working nor causing work to be done.

A person named Dwarkanath come to Shirdi. He carried a letter for Lord Sai Baba which was given by his uncle to be given to Lord Baba. Dwarkanath’s uncle had described his daughter’s health issues in the letter. When the letter was handed over to Lord Baba, He whispered that she will pass away soon. I (Kakasaheb Dixit) heard these words distinctly, but others could not. Later on, when the letter was read out to Lord Baba, Dwarkanath asked Him, “When can I bring my wife here?” Lord Baba said, “She will herself come to my place after four days”. On fourth day, she passed away and Lord Baba’s words came true.

Once on Guurpoornima, Hemadpant came to Shirdi alongwith his family. The money which he had brought with him got exhausted in two days leaving him penniless. After one day, I and Moreshwar Pardhan reached Shirdi. Pradhan was also left without money soon. Next day, Lord Baba asked for dakshina from Pradhan. He said, “I do not have any penny with me”. Lord Baba said, “Go to Anna Sahib (Hemadpant) and get the money”. Pradhan knew that even Hemadpant’s money was exhausted. But Lord Baba’s command had to be followed. So without saying a word, Pradhan went to Hemadpant and asked for money. Hemadpant was rather perplexed at such a demand of Pradhan. He questioned, “How did you know that I have money with me now? Just now a person residing in Bandra got money for me.” Nobody knew about this affair because it happened a few minutes ago before Pradhan went to Hemadpant, but what was secret from the divine vision of Lord Baba?

A Muslim devotee went to Lord Baba. His friend who was Brahmin by caste was sentenced to death. The devotee requested Lord Baba to save his friend from this punishment. Lord Baba blessed him saying, “He will be blessed by God in four days.” At the said time, the Brahmin was released on an appeal and he was freed from death sentence. Shri. Chidambar Gadgil was a devotee of Lord Ganesha. He was also devoted to Lord Baba and saw Lord Ganesha in Him. He did pooja to Lord Baba in the way as he did to Lord Ganesha. Lord Baba wanted to confirm his faith in Lord Ganesha and once when Gadgil was worshipping Lord Baba, He suddenly spoke, “This old man is a deceiver. Throw this Mahatara (an endearing name for fellow devotee) out, he says that there is a rat below my gaadi (mattress).” Gadgil was happy to note that Lord Baba accepted his worship and his seeing Lord Ganesha in Him

Sai Kast Nivaran Mantra Kasto ki kali chhaya dukh dayi hai, Jivan me ghor udasi lai hai. Sankat ko talo Sai duhai hai, Tere siva na koi sahai hai. Mere man teri murat samai hai, Har pal har kshan mahima gai hai. Ghar mere kasto ki andhi aai hai, Apne kyu meri sudha bhulai hai. Tum Bholenath ho, daya nidhan ho, Tum Hanuman ho maha balvan ho.

Tum hi Mohammad ho garib navaz ho, Nanak ki vani me ish ke sath ho. Tum hi Diggambar, tum hi kabir ho, Ho Buddha tumhi aur Mahavir ho. Sare jagat ka tumhi aadhar ho, Nirakar bhi aur saakar ho. Karta hu vandana prem vishawas se,

श्री साईं चालीसा || चौपाई || पहले साई के चरणों में, अपना शीश नमाऊं मैं। कैसे शिरडी साई आए, सारा हाल सुनाऊं मैं॥ कौन है माता, पिता कौन है, ये न किसी ने भी जाना। कहां जन्म साई ने धारा, प्रश्न पहेली रहा बना॥ कोई कहे अयोध्या के, ये रामचंद्र भगवान हैं। कोई कहता साई बाबा, पवन पुत्र हनुमान हैं॥ कोई कहता मंगल मूर्ति, श्री गजानंद हैं साई। कोई कहता गोकुल मोहन, देवकी नन्दन हैं साई॥ शंकर समझे भक्त कई तो, बाबा को भजते रहते। कोई कह अवतार दत्त का, पूजा साई की करते॥ कुछ भी मानो उनको तुम, पर साई हैं सच्चे भगवान। ब़ड़े दयालु दीनबं़धु, कितनों को दिया जीवन दान॥ कई वर्ष पहले की घटना, तुम्हें सुनाऊंगा मैं बात। किसी भाग्यशाली की, शिरडी में आई थी बारात॥ आया साथ उसी के था, बालक एक बहुत सुन्दर। आया, आकर वहीं बस गया, पावन शिरडी किया नगर॥ कई दिनों तक भटकता, भिक्षा माँग उसने दर-दर। और दिखाई ऐसी लीला, जग में जो हो गई अमर॥ जैसे-जैसे अमर उमर ब़ढ़ी, ब़ढ़ती ही वैसे गई शान। घर-घर होने लगा नगर में, साई बाबा का गुणगान॥ दिग् दिगंत में लगा गूंजने, फिर तो साई जी का नाम। दीन-दुखी की रक्षा करना, यही रहा बाबा का काम॥ बाबा के चरणों में जाकर, जो कहता मैं हूं नि़धoन। दया उसी पर होती उनकी, खुल जाते दुःख के बंधन॥ कभी किसी ने मांगी भिक्षा, दो बाबा मुझको संतान। एवं अस्तु तब कहकर साई, देते थे उसको वरदान॥ स्वयं दुःखी बाबा हो जाते, दीन-दुःखी जन का लख हाल। अन्तःकरण श्री साई का, सागर जैसा रहा विशाल॥ भक्त एक मद्रासी आया, घर का बहुत ब़ड़ा ़धनवान। माल खजाना बेहद उसका, केवल नहीं रही संतान॥ लगा मनाने साईनाथ को, बाबा मुझ पर दया करो। झंझा से झंकृत नैया को, तुम्हीं मेरी पार करो॥ कुलदीपक के बिना अं़धेरा, छाया हुआ घर में मेरे। इसलिए आया हँू बाबा, होकर शरणागत तेरे॥ कुलदीपक के अभाव में, व्यर्थ है दौलत की माया। आज भिखारी बनकर बाबा, शरण तुम्हारी मैं आया॥ दे-दो मुझको पुत्र-दान, मैं ऋणी रहूंगा जीवन भर। और किसी की आशा न मुझको, सिर्फ भरोसा है तुम पर॥ अनुनय-विनय बहुत की उसने, चरणों में ़धर के शीश। तब प्रसन्न होकर बाबा ने , दिया भक्त को यह आशीश॥ `अल्ला भला करेगा तेरा´ पुत्र जन्म हो तेरे घर। कृपा रहेगी तुझ पर उसकी, और तेरे उस बालक पर॥ अब तक नहीं किसी ने पाया, साई की कृपा का पार। पुत्र रत्न दे मद्रासी को, धन्य किया उसका संसार॥ तन-मन से जो भजे उसी का, जग में होता है उद्धार। सांच को आंच नहीं हैं कोई, सदा झूठ की होती हार॥ मैं हूं सदा सहारे उसके, सदा रहूँगा उसका दास। साई जैसा प्रभु मिला है, इतनी ही कम है क्या आस॥ मेरा भी दिन था एक ऐसा, मिलती नहीं मुझे रोटी। तन पर कप़ड़ा दूर रहा था, शेष रही नन्हीं सी लंगोटी॥ सरिता सन्मुख होने पर भी, मैं प्यासा का प्यासा था। दुिर्दन मेरा मेरे ऊपर, दावाग्नी बरसाता था॥ धरती के अतिरिक्त जगत में, मेरा कुछ अवलम्ब न था। बना भिखारी मैं दुनिया में, दर-दर ठोकर खाता था॥ ऐसे में एक मित्र मिला जो, परम भक्त साई का था। जंजालों से मुक्त मगर, जगती में वह भी मुझसा था॥ बाबा के दर्शन की खातिर, मिल दोनों ने किया विचार। साई जैसे दया मूर्ति के, दर्शन को हो गए तैयार॥ पावन शिरडी नगर में जाकर, देख मतवाली मूरति। धन्य जन्म हो गया कि हमने, जब देखी साई की सूरति॥ जब से किए हैं दर्शन हमने, दुःख सारा काफूर हो गया। संकट सारे मिटै और, विपदाओं का अन्त हो गया॥ मान और सम्मान मिला, भिक्षा में हमको बाबा से। प्रतिबिम्‍िबत हो उठे जगत में, हम साई की आभा से॥ बाबा ने सन्मान दिया है, मान दिया इस जीवन में। इसका ही संबल ले मैं, हंसता जाऊंगा जीवन में॥ साई की लीला का मेरे, मन पर ऐसा असर हुआ। लगता जगती के कण-कण में, जैसे हो वह भरा हुआ॥ `काशीराम´ बाबा का भक्त, शिरडी में रहता था। मैं साई का साई मेरा, वह दुनिया से कहता था॥ सीकर स्वयंं वस्त्र बेचता, ग्राम-नगर बाजारों में। झंकृत उसकी हृदय तंत्री थी, साई की झंकारों में॥ स्तब़्ध निशा थी, थे सोय,े रजनी आंचल में चाँद सितारे। नहीं सूझता रहा हाथ को हाथ तिमिर के मारे॥ वस्त्र बेचकर लौट रहा था, हाय ! हाट से काशी। विचित्र ब़ड़ा संयोग कि उस दिन, आता था एकाकी॥ घेर राह में ख़ड़े हो गए, उसे कुटिल अन्यायी। मारो काटो लूटो इसकी ही, ध्वनि प़ड़ी सुनाई॥ लूट पीटकर उसे वहाँ से कुटिल गए चम्पत हो। आघातों में मर्माहत हो, उसने दी संज्ञा खो॥ बहुत देर तक प़ड़ा रह वह, वहीं उसी हालत में। जाने कब कुछ होश हो उठा, वहीं उसकी पलक में॥ अनजाने ही उसके मुंह से, निकल प़ड़ा था साई। जिसकी प्रतिध्वनि शिरडी में, बाबा को प़ड़ी सुनाई॥ क्षुब़्ध हो उठा मानस उनका, बाबा गए विकल हो। लगता जैसे घटना सारी, घटी उन्हीं के सन्मुख हो॥ उन्मादी से इ़धर-उ़धर तब, बाबा लेगे भटकने। सन्मुख चीजें जो भी आई, उनको लगने पटकने॥ और ध़धकते अंगारों में, बाबा ने अपना कर डाला। हुए सशंकित सभी वहाँ, लख ताण्डवनृत्य निराला॥ समझ गए सब लोग, कि कोई भक्त प़ड़ा संकट में। क्षुभित ख़ड़े थे सभी वहाँ, पर प़ड़े हुए विस्मय में॥ उसे बचाने की ही खातिर, बाबा आज विकल है। उसकी ही पी़ड़ा से पीडित, उनकी अन्तःस्थल है॥ इतने में ही विविध ने अपनी, विचित्रता दिखलाई। लख कर जिसको जनता की, श्रद्धा सरिता लहराई॥ लेकर संज्ञाहीन भक्त को, गा़ड़ी एक वहाँ आई। सन्मुख अपने देख भक्त को, साई की आंखें भर आई॥ शांत, धीर, गंभीर, सिन्धु सा, बाबा का अन्तःस्थल। आज न जाने क्यों रह-रहकर, हो जाता था चंचल॥ आज दया की मू स्वयं था, बना हुआ उपचारी। और भक्त के लिए आज था, देव बना प्रतिहारी॥ आज भिक्त की विषम परीक्षा में, सफल हुआ था काशी। उसके ही दर्शन की खातिर थे, उम़ड़े नगर-निवासी। जब भी और जहां भी कोई, भक्त प़ड़े संकट में। उसकी रक्षा करने बाबा, आते हैं पलभर में॥ युग-युग का है सत्य यह, नहीं कोई नई कहानी। आपतग्रस्त भक्त जब होता, जाते खुद अन्र्तयामी॥ भेदभाव से परे पुजारी, मानवता के थे साई। जितने प्यारे हिन्दू-मुस्लिम, उतने ही थे सिक्ख ईसाई॥ भेद-भाव मंदिर-मिस्जद का, तोड़-फोड़ बाबा ने डाला। राह रहीम सभी उनके थे, कृष्ण करीम अल्लाताला॥ घण्टे की प्रतिध्वनि से गूंजा, मिस्जद का कोना-कोना। मिले परस्पर हिन्दू-मुस्लिम, प्यार बढ़ा दिन-दिन दूना॥ चमत्कार था कितना सुन्दर, परिचय इस काया ने दी। और नीम कडुवाहट में भी, मिठास बाबा ने भर दी॥ सब को स्नेह दिया साई ने, सबको संतुल प्यार किया। जो कुछ जिसने भी चाहा, बाबा ने उसको वही दिया॥ ऐसे स्नेहशील भाजन का, नाम सदा जो जपा करे। पर्वत जैसा दुःख न क्यों हो, पलभर में वह दूर टरे॥ साई जैसा दाता हमने, अरे नहीं देखा कोई। जिसके केवल दर्शन से ही, सारी विपदा दूर गई॥ तन में साई, मन में साई, साई-साई भजा करो। अपने तन की सुधि-बुधि खोकर, सुधि उसकी तुम किया करो॥ जब तू अपनी सुधि तज, बाबा की सुधि किया करेगा। और रात-दिन बाबा-बाबा, ही तू रटा करेगा॥ तो बाबा को अरे ! विवश हो, सुधि तेरी लेनी ही होगी। तेरी हर इच्छा बाबा को पूरी ही करनी होगी॥ जंगल, जगंल भटक न पागल, और ढूंढ़ने बाबा को। एक जगह केवल शिरडी में, तू पाएगा बाबा को॥ धन्य जगत में प्राणी है वह, जिसने बाबा को पाया। दुःख में, सुख में प्रहर आठ हो, साई का ही गुण गाया॥ गिरे संकटों के पर्वत, चाहे बिजली ही टूट पड़े। साई का ले नाम सदा तुम, सन्मुख सब के रहो अड़े॥ इस बूढ़े की सुन करामत, तुम हो जाओगे हैरान। दंग रह गए सुनकर जिसको, जाने कितने चतुर सुजान॥ एक बार शिरडी में साधु, ढ़ोंगी था कोई आया। भोली-भाली नगर-निवासी, जनता को था भरमाया॥ जड़ी-बूटियां उन्हें दिखाकर, करने लगा वह भाषण। कहने लगा सुनो श्रोतागण, घर मेरा है वृन्दावन॥ औषधि मेरे पास एक है, और अजब इसमें शिक्त। इसके सेवन करने से ही, हो जाती दुःख से मुिक्त॥ अगर मुक्त होना चाहो, तुम संकट से बीमारी से। तो है मेरा नम्र निवेदन, हर नर से, हर नारी से॥ लो खरीद तुम इसको, इसकी सेवन विधियां हैं न्यारी। यद्यपि तुच्छ वस्तु है यह, गुण उसके हैं अति भारी॥ जो है संतति हीन यहां यदि, मेरी औषधि को खाए। पुत्र-रत्न हो प्राप्त, अरे वह मुंह मांगा फल पाए॥ औषधि मेरी जो न खरीदे, जीवन भर पछताएगा। मुझ जैसा प्राणी शायद ही, अरे यहां आ पाएगा॥ दुनिया दो दिनों का मेला है, मौज शौक तुम भी कर लो। अगर इससे मिलता है, सब कुछ, तुम भी इसको ले लो॥ हैरानी बढ़ती जनता की, लख इसकी कारस्तानी। प्रमुदित वह भी मन- ही-मन था, लख लोगों की नादानी॥ खबर सुनाने बाबा को यह, गया दौड़कर सेवक एक। सुनकर भृकुटी तनी और, विस्मरण हो गया सभी विवेक॥ हुक्म दिया सेवक को, सत्वर पकड़ दुष्ट को लाओ। या शिरडी की सीमा से, कपटी को दूर भगाओ॥ मेरे रहते भोली-भाली, शिरडी की जनता को। कौन नीच ऐसा जो, साहस करता है छलने को॥ पलभर में ऐसे ढोंगी, कपटी नीच लुटेरे को। महानाश के महागर्त में पहुँचा, दूँ जीवन भर को॥ तनिक मिला आभास मदारी, क्रूर, कुटिल अन्यायी को। काल नाचता है अब सिर पर, गुस्सा आया साई को॥ पलभर में सब खेल बंद कर, भागा सिर पर रखकर पैर। सोच रहा था मन ही मन, भगवान नहीं है अब खैर॥ सच है साई जैसा दानी, मिल न सकेगा जग में। अंश ईश का साई बाबा, उन्हें न कुछ भी मुश्किल जग में॥ स्नेह, शील, सौजन्य आदि का, आभूषण धारण कर। बढ़ता इस दुनिया में जो भी, मानव सेवा के पथ पर॥ वही जीत लेता है जगती के, जन जन का अन्तःस्थल। उसकी एक उदासी ही, जग को कर देती है वि£ल॥ जब-जब जग में भार पाप का, बढ़-बढ़ ही जाता है। उसे मिटाने की ही खातिर, अवतारी ही आता है॥ पाप और अन्याय सभी कुछ, इस जगती का हर के। दूर भगा देता दुनिया के, दानव को क्षण भर के॥ ऐसे ही अवतारी साई, मृत्युलोक में आकर। समता का यह पाठ पढ़ाया, सबको अपना आप मिटाकर ॥ नाम द्वारका मिस्जद का, रखा शिरडी में साई ने। दाप, ताप, संताप मिटाया, जो कुछ आया साई ने॥ सदा याद में मस्त राम की, बैठे रहते थे साई। पहर आठ ही राम नाम को, भजते रहते थे साई॥ सूखी-रूखी ताजी बासी, चाहे या होवे पकवान। सौदा प्यार के भूखे साई की, खातिर थे सभी समान॥ स्नेह और श्रद्धा से अपनी, जन जो कुछ दे जाते थे। बड़े चाव से उस भोजन को, बाबा पावन करते थे॥ कभी-कभी मन बहलाने को, बाबा बाग में जाते थे। प्रमुदित मन में निरख प्रकृति, छटा को वे होते थे॥ रंग-बिरंगे पुष्प बाग के, मंद-मंद हिल-डुल करके। बीहड़ वीराने मन में भी स्नेह सलिल भर जाते थे॥ ऐसी समुधुर बेला में भी, दुख आपात, विपदा के मारे। अपने मन की व्यथा सुनाने, जन रहते बाबा को घेरे॥ सुनकर जिनकी करूणकथा को, नयन कमल भर आते थे। दे विभूति हर व्यथा, शांति, उनके उर में भर देते थे॥ जाने क्या अद्भुत शिक्त, उस विभूति में होती थी। जो धारण करते मस्तक पर, दुःख सारा हर लेती थी॥ धन्य मनुज वे साक्षात् दर्शन, जो बाबा साई के पाए। धन्य कमल कर उनके जिनसे, चरण-कमल वे परसाए॥ काश निर्भय तुमको भी, साक्षात् साई मिल जाता। वर्षों से उजड़ा चमन अपना, फिर से आज खिल जाता॥ गर पकड़ता मैं चरण श्री के, नहीं छोड़ता उम्रभर॥ मना लेता मैं जरूर उनको, गर रूठते साई मुझ पर॥ || इति श्री साईं चालीसा समाप्त ||

MASSAGE.

It is a general rule, that it is our good luck in the form of accumulation of merits in past births, that enables us to seek the company of Saints and profit thereby. In illustration of this rule, Hemadpant gives his own instance. He was a resident Magistrate of Bandra, A suburb of Bombay, for many years. A famour Mahomedan Saint named Pir Moulana was living there and many Hindus, Parsis and many others who followed different religion used to go to him and take his darshan. His Mujavar (priest) by name Inus pressed Hemadpant many a time, night and day, for going to see him, but for some reason or other he was not able to see him. After many years his turn came and he was called to Shirdi where he was permanently enlisted in Sai Baba's Darbar. Unfortunate fellows do not get this contact of the Saints. It is only the fortunate ones that get it.
Institution of Saints
There have been institutions of Saints in this world, from time immemorial. Various Saints appear (incarnate) themselves in various places to carry out the missions allotted to them, but though they work in different places, they are, as it were, one. They work in unison under the common authority of the Almighty Lord and know full well what each of them is doing in his place, and supplement his work where necessary. An instance illustrating this is given below.
Mr. Thakur
Mr. V.H.Thakur, B.A., was a clerk in the Revenue Department and he once came to a town named Vadgaum near Belgaum (S.M. Country) along with a Survey party. There he saw a Kanarese Saint (Appa) and bowed before him. The Saint was explaining a portion from the book "Vichar-Sagar" of Nischaldas (a standard work on Vedanta) to the audience. When Thakur was taking his leave to go, he said to him, "you should study this book, and if you do so, your desires will be fulfilled, and when you go to the North in the discharge of your duties in future, you will come across a great Saint by your good luck, and then he will show you the future path, and give rest to your mind and make you happy".
Then, he was transferred to Junnar, where he had to go by crossing Nhane Ghat. This Ghat was very steep and impassible, and no other conveyance, than a buffalo was of use in crossing it. So he had to take a buffalo-ride through the Ghat, which inconvenienced and pained him much. Thereafter, he was transferred to Kalyan on higher post, and there he became acquainted with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. He heard much about Sai Baba from him and wished to see Him. Next day, Nanasaheb had to go to Shirdi, and he asked Thakur to accompany him. He could not do so as he had to attend the Thana Civil Court for a civil case. So Nanasaheb went alone. Thakur went to Thana, but there the case was postponed. Then, he repented for not accompanying Nanasaheb. Still he left for Shirdi and when he went there, he found that Nanasaheb had left the place the previous day. Some of his other friends, whom he met there, took him to Baba. He saw Baba, fell at His Feet and was overjoyed. His eyes were full of tears of joy and his hair stood on end. Then after a while the omniscient Baba said to him - "The path of this place is not so easy as the teaching of the Kanarese Saint Appa or even as the buffalo-ride in the Nhane Ghat. In this spiritual path, you have to put in your best exertion as it is very difficult". When Thakur heard these significant signs and words, which none else than he knew, he was overwhelmed with joy. He came to know, that the word of the Kanarese Saint had turned true. Then joining both hands and placing his head on Baba's Feet, he prayed that he should be a accepted and blessed. Then Baba said - "What Appa told you was all right, but these things have to be practised and lived. Mere reading won't do. You have to think and carry out what you read, otherwise, it is of no use. Mere book-learning, without the grace of the Guru, and self-realization is of no avail". The theoretical portion was read from the work `Vichar Sagar' by Thakur, but the practical way was shown to him at Shirdi. Another story given below will bring out this truth more forcibly.
Anantrao Patankar
One gentleman from Poona, by name Anantrao Patankar wished to see Baba. He came to Shirdi, and took Baba's darshan. His eyes were appeased, he was much pleased. He fell at Baba's Feet; and after performing proper worship said to Baba - "I have read a lot, studied Vedas, Vedants and Upanishads and heard all the Purnas, but still I have not got any peace of mind; so I think that all my reading was useless. Simple ignorant devout persons are better than myself. Unless the mind becomes calm, all book-learning is of no avail. I have heard, from many people, that you easily give peace of mind to so many people by your mere glance, and playful word; so I have come here; please take pity on me and bless me". Then Baba told him a parable, which was as follows:-
Parable of Nine Balls of Stool (Nava-vidha Bhakti)
"Once a Soudagar (merchant) came here. Before him a mare passed her stool (nine balls of stool). The merchant, intent on his quest, spread the end of his dhotar and gathered all the nine balls in it, and thus he got concentration (peace) of mind".
Mr. Patankar could not make out the meaning of this story; so he asked Ganesh Damodar, alias Dada Kelkar, "What does Baba mean by this?" He replied - "I too do not know all that Baba says and means, but at His inspiration I say, what I come to know. The mare is God's grace and the nine balls excreted are the nine forms or types of Bhakti, viz., (1) Shravana (Hearing); (2) Kirtana (Praying); (3) Smarana (Remembering); (4) Padasevana (resorting to the feet); (5) Archana (Worship); (6) Namaskara (Bowing); (7) Dasya (Service); (8) Sakhyatva (Friendship); (9) Atmanivedana (surrender of the self). These are the nine types of Bhakti. If any of these is faithfully followed, Lord Hari will be pleased, and manifest Himself in the home of the devotee. All the sadhanas, viz. Japa (vocal worship), Tapa (penance), Yoga practice and studying the scriptures and expounding them are quite useless unless they are accompanied by Bhakti, i.e., devotion. Knowledge of the Vedas, or fame as a great Jnani, and mere formal Bhajan (worship) are of no avail. What is wanted is Loving Devotion. Consider yourself as the merchant or seeker after the truth and be anxious and eager like him to collect or cultivate the nine types of devotion. Then you will attain stability and peace of mind".

Next day, when Patankar went to Baba for saluation, he was asked whether he collected the 'nine balls of stool'. Then he said that he, being a poor fellow, should first be graced by Baba, and then they will be easily collected. Then Baba blessed and comforted him, saying that he would attain peace and welfare. After hearing this, Patankar became overjoyed and happy.
The Pandharpur Pleader
We shall close this Chapter with short story showing Baba's omniscience and His using it for correcting people and setting them on the right path. Once a pleader from Pandharpur came to Shirdi, went to the Masjid, saw Sai Baba, fell at His Feet and, without being asked, offered some Dakshina, and sat in a corner eager to hear the talk, that was going on. Then Baba turned His face towards him and said - "How cunning the people are! They fall at the feet, offer Dakshina, but inwardly give abuses behind the back. Is not this wonderful?" This cap (remark) fitted the pleader and he had to wear (take) it. None understood the remark. The pleader grasped it, but kept silent. When they returned to the Wada, the pleader said to Kakasaheb Dixit - "What Baba remarked was perfectly right. The dart (remark) was aimed at me, it was a hint to me, that I should not indulge in reviling or scandalizing others (calling by names). When the subjudge or munsiff of Pandharput (Mr.Noolkar) came and stayed here for the improvement of his health, a discussion about this matter was going on in the bar-room at Pandharpur (as it ever happens in many a bar-room). It was said or discussed there whether the ailments, from which the sub-judge suffered were, ever likely to be got rid of without medicines, by merely going after Sai Baba, and whether it was proper for an educated man, like the sub-judge, to have recourse to such methods. The sub-judge was taken to task, i.e. he was ciritisied, as also Sai Baba. I also took some part in this affair; and now Sai Baba showed the impropriety of my conduct. This is not a rebuke to me, but a favour, an advice that I should not indulge in any scandal or slander of others; and not interfere unnecessarity in others' affairs".
Shirdi is about 100 Koss (Koss=3 miles) distant from Pandharpur; still Baba by His omniscience knew what transpired there in the bar-room. The intervening places -- rivers, jungles and mountains - were not a bar to His all-perceiving sight and He could see or read the hearts of all. There was nothing secret or veiled from Him. Everything, far or near, was plain and clear to Him as broad as daylight. Let a man be far or near, he cannot avoid the all-pervading gaze of Sai Baba. From this incident, the pleader took the lesson that he should never speak ill of others, nor unnecessarily criticize them. This his evil tendency was completely got rid of, and he was set on the right path.
Though the story refers to a pleader, still it is applicable to all. All should, therefore, take this lesson to heart and profit thereby.
Sai Baba's greatness is unfathomable, so are His wonderful Leelas. His life is also such; for He is Para-Brahman (Lord God) incarnate.

Shri Sai Satcharitra - Chapter 2

2010-04-10T06:17:00.000-07:00

Shri Sai Satcharitra.
Chapter – 2.
In the last chapter, the author mentioned in the original Marathi book that he would he would state the reasons that led him to undertake the work, and about the persons qualified to read the same, and such other points. Now, in this chapter, he narrates the same.

The Objects Of Writing This Work.

In te first caper, I described Sai Baba’s miracle of checking and destroying te cholera epidemic by grinding wheat and throwing the flour on the out skirts of the village. I heard other miracles of Sai Baba to my great delight and this delight burst forth into this poetic work. I also thought that, the description of these miracles of Sai Baba would be interesting and instructive to His devotees and would remove their sins, and so I began to write the sacred life and teachings of Sai Baba. The life of the saint is neither logical nor dialectical. It shows us the true and great path.

Incapacity And Boldness In Undertaking The Work.
Hemadpant thought that, he was not a fit person to undertake the work. He said, “ I do not know the life of my intimate friend nor do I know my own mind, then how can I write the life of a saint r describe the nature of Incarnations which even the Vedas were unable to do ? One must be a saint himself before he could know other saints, otherwise, how can I describe their glory ? To write the life of a saint is most difficult, one may as well be able to measure the depth o the seven seas or enclose the sky with cloth-trappings. I know, this was the most venturous undertaking, which might expose me to ridicule, I, therefore invoked Sai Baba’s Grace.

The premier poet – saint of Maharashtra, Shri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, has stated that, the lord loves those ho write the lives of the saints, and the saints also have their own peculiar method of assigning the service, which the devoted long for. The saints inspires the work, the devotees becomes oly an indirect cause or an instrument in achieving the end. For instance, in 1700 shaka year, the poet Mahipati aspired to write the lives of the saints. Saints inspired him, and got the work done, as also in 1800 shaka year Das Ganu’s service was accepted. The former wrote 4 works – Bhakta Vijay, Sant Vijay, Bhakta Leelamrut and Sant Kathamrut, in which the lives of modern saints were described. In chapter 31,32,33 of the Bharkta Leelamrut and in chapter 57 of the Sant Kathamrut, the life and teachings of Sai Baba are very well depicted. These have been separately published in the Sai Leela Magazine,No.11 and 12, Vol.17; the readers are advised to read these chapters. So also Sai Baba’s Wonderful Leela are described by Mrs. Savitribai Raghunat Tandulkar of Bandra in a small book., named Sri Sainath Bhajan Mala. Das Ganu Maharaj also has composed various sweet poems of Sai Baba. A deotee,named Amidas Bhavani Mehta, also published some stories of Sai Baba in Gujrati; some nos. of Sainath Prabha, a magazine published by Daksnina Bhiksha Sansthan of Shirdi, are also published. Then, the question of objection comes in, that while so many works regarding Sai Baba are extent, why should this ( SATCHARITRA ) be written; and where is its necessity ?
The answer is plain and simple. The life of Sai Baba s as wide and deep as the infinite ocean, and all can dve deep into the same and take out precious gems od knowledge and bhakti and distribute them among the aspiring people. The stories, parables, ad teachings of Sai Baba are very wonderful. They will give peace and happiness to the people, who are affiliated with sorrow and heavily loaded with miseries of this worldly existence, and also bestow knowledge and wisdom, both in worldly and spiritual domains. If these teachings of Sai Baba, which are as interesting and instructive as the vedic lore, are listed to and mediated upon, to devotees will get what they long for viz., union with Brahma, mastery in eight fold Yoga, bliss of meditation etc. So, I thought that I should collect these stories together, that would be my best Upasana.This collection would be most delighted to these simple souls, whose eyes were blessed with Sai Baba’s darshan. So, I set about collecting Sai Baba’s teachings and expressions – the outcome of His boundless self realization. It was Si Baba who inspired me in this matter, in fact, surrendered my ego at His Feet and thought that, my at was clear; and that He would make me quite happy here, and in the next world.
I could not my self ask Sai baba to give me permission for this work, so I requested Mr. Madhavrao Deshpande alias Shama, Baba’s most intimate devotee, to seek to Him for me. He pleaded my cause and said to Sai Baba, “This Annasahib wishes to write Your Biography, don’t say you are a poor Fakir, and there is no necessity to write I; but you agree and help him, he will write rather, Your grace will accomplish the work, Without Your consent and blessing, nothing can be done successfully.” When Sai Baba heard this request, He was moved and blessed me by giving me His Udi and placing placing His boon-bestowing hand on my head and said,” Let him make the collection of stories and experiences, keep notes and memos, I will help him. He is only a outward instrument I should write My Autobiography Myself and satisfy the wishes of My devotees. He should get rid of his ego and surrender it at My Feet. He, who acts like this in life, him I help the most. What of My Life-stories? I serve him in his house in all possible ways. When his ego is completely annihilated and there is left no trace of it, I Myself shall enter into him and shall Myself write My Own Life. Hearing My stories and teachings will create faith in devotees’ hearts and they will easily get self-realization and bless; let there be no insistence on establishing one’s own view no attempt to refute other’s opinion, no discussion of pros and cons of any subject.”

8. And lastly to his Guru Shri Sainath – an incarnation os Shri Dattatreya, who is his sole refuge and Who will make hi realize, that Bharma is the reality and the world an illusion and incidentally, to all beings, in whom the Lord God dwells.
After describing in brief the vaious modes of devotion accordingly to Parasar. Vyasa and Shandilya etc., te author goes on to relate the following story:

“ It was some time after 1910 that I went, one fine morning, to the Masjid in theShirdi to have darshan of Sai Baba I was wonder-struck to see the following phenomenon. After washing His mouth and face Sai Baa began to make reparation for grinding wheat. He spread a sac on the floor, and thereon set a –hand-mill. He took some quantity of wheat n a winnowing fan and then, drawing up sleeves of His Kafni and taking hold the peg of the hand-mill, started grinding the wheat, y putting a few hand full of wheat n the upper opening of the mill and rotation it. I thought, “ What business Baba had with the grinding of wheat, when He possessed nothing and stored nothing, and He lived on alms!” Some people who had come there thought otherwise, but none had the courage to ask Baba, what He was doing. Immediately, this news of Baba grinding wheat spread into the village, and at once men and women ran to the Masjid and flocked there to see Baba’s act. Four bold women, from the crowd, fored their way up and pushing Baba aside, forcibly too the peg or the handle into their own hands, and Baba’s Leelas started grinding. At first, Baba was enraged, but on seeing the women’s love and devotion, He was much pleased and began to smile. While they were grinding, they began to think that Baba had no house, no property no children, and none to look after and He lived on alms, and therefore , He did not require any wheat-flour for making bread or roti, what will He do with this large quantity of flour? Perhaps, as Baba is very kind, He will distribute the flour amongst us. Thinking this way and while singing, they finished the n and after putting the hand-mill aside, they divided the flour into four portions and began to remove them by taking one o per head. Baba, who was calm and quite up till now, got wild and started abusing them saying, :Ladies, have you gone mad? Whose father’s property, are you looting away ? Have I borrowed any wheat from you, so that you can safely take te flour ? Now do this ! Take the flour ad throw it on the village borders!” On hearing this, the women felt abashed and whispering amongst, went to the out skirts of the village and spread to flour, as directed by Baba.

I asked the Shirdi people , “ What was this that Baba did?” They replied that,
As cholera epidemic was spreading in the village this was Baba’s remedy or the same; it was not wheat, that was ground, but cholera itself was ground to pieces and pushed out of the village.
From this time onward, the cholera epidemic subsided and the people of to village were happy. I was much pleased to know all this , but at to same time my curiosity was also aroused. I began to ask myself……what earthy connection was there between wheat flour and cholera ? The incident seems to be inexplicable. I should write something on this and sing to my heart’s content Baba’s sweet Leelas, thinking in this way about this Leela, my heart was filled with joy and I was thus, inspired to write Baba’s Life - The Sai Satcharitra.

And as we know,with Baba’s grace and blessings this work was successfully accomplished.

Philosphical Siginficance Of Grinding.Apart from the meaning, which the people of Shirdi put on this incident of grinding wheat, here is we think, a philosophical significance too. Baba lived in Shirdi for about sixty years and during this long period, He did the business of grinding almost every day – not, however wheat alone, but the sins, the mental and physical afflictions and miseries of His innumerable devotees. The two stones of His mill consisted of Karma and Bhakti; the former being the lower one and, the latter the upper one. The handle, with which Baba worked the mill, consisted of Dhyan. I was the firm conviction of Baba that knowledge or self-realization is not possible, unless there is the prior act of grinding of all our impulses, desires, sins” and of three gunas, viz. Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, and the Ahankar, which is so subtle and therefore, so difficult to get rid of.

This reminds us of a similar story of Kabir, who seeing a women grinding corn, sad to his Guru, Napatniranjan, “ I am weeping, because I feel the agony of being crushed under this wheel of worldly existence, like the corn in the hand-mill, “ Nipatniranjan replied, ‘Do not be afraid, hold fast to the handle of knowledge of this mill, as I do, and do not wander far away from the same, but turn inward to the centre, and you are sure to be saved.”

Bow to Shri Sai -- Peace be to all.
