GLIMPSES OF TRUTH
SRI ANAND SAI

For his Sai
He who pines
In his bossom
He ever shines.
For his Sai
He who cries
by the cords of love
His Lord he ties.
For you Sai
Shed your tears
Go where you like
Have no fears.

In the bossom
Dwells Lord Sai
Behold, behold
With the inner eye.
Rejoice, rejoice
Right in Thee, Speaketh He,
Hear, hear
The inner voice.
Arise, arise
Do not fall
Respond, respond
To the inner call.

Erase, erase
The outer crust
The physical and the mental Rust.
Cleanse, cleanse
The illusive dust.
And do!
What you find
Is the compelling
Must

Let the One,
The only one
Over thy mind
Hold sway
Ever, Ever
Think of the whole
Let the unit
Frade away.
Let this
Be the means
As well as
The goal
To remain
for ever
In the consciousness
Of the whole.

Robots
Are moving
All around,
By the Grace of Baba
I have found
He moves
Them all
Without a sound
By His will
All are bound.

If you want
To live in peace,
Never forget
This face,
All tensions
Will cease
By the inner
Contact.

Here, here
What have
You learnt,
What have
You got.
Learn,learn
The only lesson
Where 'I' exists
He is not
Where He exists
'I' is not.

The false does 'I'
Is a disease
Which never, never
Lets your mind
Remain at ease.
This doer 'I'
Is a false double
Which brings
To every one
Endless trouble.
This doer 'I'
Is vulgar
Indecent,
There is a compelling mustness
Behind every incident.
The Eternal
The only doer
You ought to know,
For whatever happens
Was bound to happen so.

When one
Surrenders to Him
And leaveth
All falsehood
And lie,
Loving him
With all one's heart,
To the vices six
One says
Good-bye.
Then the Lord
Owns him
Loves him
Protects him.

Such is my Lord-Sai
The Infinite is playing
In us the finite role
Learn learn the mystery
In the stillness of the soul
God Himself is the doer
In the garb of the man
He himself is the idol
He Himself is the fan.
He is the beloved
Himself is the lover
In the language of silence
Alone we discover.

In all happenings
Day and night
With Him
You must
Attune,
With the Mystic
Sai Within
You must ever
Commune.

 Baba Sai Nath is the real actor, the action and the motive force behind that action. If you want to get out of his cycle of births and deaths within this life, there is only one way. Give up resolutely the idea of doership, give up the fever of 'I am doing'. Understand fully well that you are not the doer. This whole world is a one-man show, where there is no place for the second. The whole manifestation is being run by One Supreme Power. This universe is a huge Cosmic Machine being run by the unseen hands of the maker. We are all mere kegs in that huge machine. But remember very well, you've to play your part as a conscious keg in that Cosmic Machine. I say conscious, because everybody is an instrument in Baba Sai Nath's hand's, but it makes all the difference when you are conscious that you are an instrument in the Divine Hand, Remember, even if a nut in the machine goes out of order, the working of the whole machine is paralysed. Therefore you have to play your part well, the part alloted to you according to the station of life that you have been given to occupy. Remember, therefore play your part well as a conscious keg in the hands of the Unseen Maker. Then, I promise you, you will lead a carefree, happy and peaceful life. You will never own the doership of any action. My words should constantly ring in your ears. Give up this fever of "I am doing." "I am doing " is sickness. "You are doing everything, my Lord, " is health. " I am doing", is cancer, is sickness which destroys us in the long run.

 Very few blessed souls can recognize Baba Sai Nath by His grace. Those who recognize Him, get freedom from the trammels of life and death. People who are immersed in worldliness, in accumulating money, luxuries, and other items of wealth, it is not easy for them to recognize Baba. Only those blessed souls whose minds have been purified on account of meritorious deds and sadhana done in the previous births, can recognize Him. Those who recognize Baba Sai Nath, follow Him and the path shown by Him. Remember,worldly people keep on collecting money, wealth, name and fame all their lives. At the end of their life, they find that it is dust they have got in their hands, nothing but dust. They die a miserable death, a most miserable death. They leave this world desolate miserable creatures, while those not who recognize Baba Sai Nath, who love Him, who surrender to Him, not only their life's earthly sojourn is happy, but they depart from this earth peacefully and happily, sure of their realisation. So my children, I know you all love Baba very dearly. Your life is going to be full of promise, full of peace, full of joy. Never fall a prey to the vicissitudes of maya, whatever station of life you occupy. Stick to Baba Sai Nath. Never leave Him even for a second and you are assured of His full protection every second of your life.

 Remember in spirituality, narrow-mindedness is the greatest sin. People who are still in the outer form f religion, are mostly narrow-minded. The christian thinks that his religion is better than other religions. The Muslim thinks his religion is superior to others. The Hindu thinks that his way of worship is better than others. But when one crosses the border line into the realm of spirituality, then one beings to know that there is One and One alone and that One alone has appeared in different climes, at different times, in different countries to establish Truth. When you see this Inner Unity behind all the religions, this narrow-mindedness vanishes.

 If someone talks in the strain of narrow-mindedness. 'My religion is better than others', know that he is far from Truth. He has not realised Truth. Most of the people belonging to the institutional religions talk of the superiority of their faith over other religions. I want you children, to be very careful. Never get into discussions and arguments with others about the superiority of your won faith. Know that Baba Sai Nath does not allow this. In argument the other person may talk ill of what you hold so dear, and your faith may be shaken. So stick to what you believe to be true, but do not enter into argument or discussion with others about your faith. Hold fast to your own beliefs. Do not try to change or convert others. It is not given to you to change or convert others. It is the job of Baba Sai Nath to convert others at the right time. Be very clear about it otherwise you will only harm yourself. Do not have the superiority complex, that you are better, your religion is better than others. This 'holier than thou' attitude must be given up because this is sheer arrogance. This is sheer pride. We have not to have pride. Pride is the greatest cancer in the path of spirituality. Even if we are better than others, it is a gift of Baba Sai Nath. We must not feel we are better than others because the persons whom we think are behind us, may by the Divine Grace, go further than us any time. Never feel for a second that you are ahead of others, you are better than others. Never harbour this idea in your mind.

 Baba Sai Nath has got special love for children. All God-realised saints love children because they themselves are child - like. Even when you grow up, still you should remain as innocent as you are now. Don't pick up cleverness. Clever and crafty people are most distasteful to Baba Sai Nath. As the child naturally has dependence on its mother foe everything, similarly when you grow up you should constantly live a life of dependence on your Divine Mother, Baba Sai Nath. Today, you have no worries for tomorrow, so even when you grow up and no matter what station of life you occupy, do not bother about tomorrow. If you remain, child - like, the tomorrow will be looked after by the Divine Mother Baba Sai Nath Himself. In worldly teach that planning is a sin. It is contrary to the sprit of self- surrender to Baba Sai Nath. One who plans has ego. He thinks it is up to him in the hand of Baba Sai Nath. Ours is only to try, that is all. When a particular ' prasad'. We may get halwa or we may get fruit or we may get dry fruit, any thing we get we take it as 'prasad'. Similarly, what actions we perform in life, whatever the results accrue, we should take them as 'prasad'. Success or failure should mean the same thing, that is 'prasad' given by the Divine Master. Success should to make us happy, failure should not make us unhappy. In wordly life, success or failure should not matter much; after all they are both shadows. Real life is within. so pray for that real life.Do not attach much importance to things external.
