Seeking the right thing at the right place.


Om Jai Sai Ram! It so often happens to us all that we seek happiness outside us. I will become happy when I get a new Kindle, when I buy a car, when I get a job, when I marry that girl. We are seeking something in things that are perishable. Can we really get everlasting happiness from any of these? On contemplating it is so easy to see that we cannot. Then what is it that we crave for in life? Why this life and it's many manifestations? Why the starry heavens and why the green earth?

In all this, we try often to get something that makes us fearless, free from worries and happy. Now this is what we must seek. And where does one seek them. As the great sages and saints have said, one must look within.

I write this, yet Maya (Illusory power of god) teases me often. When great men fall pray to her, what of me? I often forget the timeless principle of looking within and seek comfort outside. Only when Sadguru is remembered, Maya is forgotten. Baba often used to say "He who remembers me, I will always be there for him, but the moment he forgets me, Maya will lash her whip at him". There are several diseases that emanate from Maya. There is only one Hakim (Doctor), and that is Sagun Brahma (God with form), Satchitananda (Existence, Knowledge and Bliss) Sadguru . One must always resort to his feet to realize the truth.

This is how I felt, most of us lead our life

"I went out groping in the darkness looking for light..Only to find a powerful searchlight at home!"

The darkness is the world outside with it's many manifestations arising from Maya, and the searchlight is the Sadguru who is antaryamin (The in dweller) and the one essence of all that is.

I hope by the grace of the Sadguru, that I always find solace at his lotus feet and never get entangled in Maya.

Anantha Koti Brahmanda Nayaka Raja Dhi Raja Yogi Raja Parabrahma Shree Satchitananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Avadhoota Chintana Shree Gurudeva Datta! Shree Gurudeva Datta! Shree Gurudeva Datta!

Bow to Shree Sai! Peace be to all!

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha! Shree Saraswatyai Namaha! Shree Kuladevatyai Namaha! Om Shree Sainaathaya Namaha! Om Shree Swami Samarthaaya Namaha! Verily we must have firm faith in the lotus feet of the Sadguru. For why else are we his devotees. We must surrender completely to him and think always that he knows best. His powers are immesurable and he is the lord and indweller of one and all. He is the Parabrahma of the Vedas and the Allah of the Koran. While describing him, the Vedas merely said "Neti Neti" (Not this, Not this). What then is the way for me? Is it not haughty of me to think I can describe his glory? I cannot, and all I can ever do is submit my ego before his lotus feet. By submitting my speech,hearing and all senses to him. When this is done, he alone will get the work done through the devotee who earnestly wishes to sing his glory. I pray to Sadguru Sainath to help me, nay to use me as an instrument and describe his boundless glory. Sometimes we are overwhelme...

||Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha||    ||Om Shree Saraswatyay Namaha||        ||Om Shree Gurave Namaha||    ||Om Shree Kuladevatyay Namaha||    Om Jai Sairam! Blessed are those who resort to the feet of the Sadguru.The Sadguru protects us like a mother. His attention is ever on his children and he never allows them to be hurt ever! Today another incident proved that the Sadguru is ever looking after his devotees. Today I was in great agitation at my own helplessness and I was afraid that my image was tarnished for no fault of mine. But then Sainath came to my rescue and calmed the raging storm within me. I woke up today after a small nap. I was awakened by a phone call. A dear relative had called over the phone and the person seemed to be upset that I was fit enough to visit the Sai temple during Guru Pournima and yet I was not in a position to visit them. You see I had visited the temple on Guru Pournima and I had put...

My father has the darshan of Swami Maharaj in his dream

Om Jai Sai Ram! Om Shree Swami Samarh ! One must have firm faith in his sadguru . By fully surrendering one's mind,body and actions to the Sadguru ,one can sail smoothly in the ocean called samsara (life), which is full of tornadoes and hurricanes and reach the destination, viz union with brahman . As long as we have the "I" or ego, it is indeed hard for us to cross this ocean of Samsara . I therefore submit my ego to my Sadguru , and pray to his lotus feet, to help me sing his glory, which has no beginning and no end. All the scriptures of all the religions world over are not sufficient to describe his splendor and glory and fully describe him. I bow humbly to the lotus feet of Shree Gurudeva Dattatreya , and pray to him, who has looked after my like a mother to guide me. He alone is mother,father,friend, brother. He is all in all. He has infinite compassion and love for his devotees like a mother caring for her child ( Bhaktha vatsalya ). Oh Sadguru , please h...
