SAI's MESSAGE FOR LIFE FROM THE DIARY OF SAI.BA.NI.SA(01-50)

These are the dream contents of Saibanisa in nutshell as delivered to him by beloved Guru Lord Sainath on his views about life. It is hoped that the messages will be helpful in moulding one’s Character.

Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY.

1) Life is a plain paper. Good language written on it is respected and valued by one and all. When bad words are written on it, the paper is torn and finds it's way to the dustbin.
18 -08-1992

2) After climbing the ladder of ' Adhyatma' (spiritualism) up to a point in life, it is essential to maintain equilibrium to avoid falling down.
22 -08-1992

3) Life is like a game where children, young and old should all happily participate.
09 -04- 1992

4) Do not refuse food even from the bad persons, provided they are reformed.
02 - 08- 1992

5) Life is a great play. Remember that your role in life is limited only to introduce other fellow artistes to the World.
30 - 09- 1992

6) Once the journey through spiritual life is commenced, never look back even after the death of your partner occurs. Complete the remaining part on the chosen path to reach me.
14 - 09- 1992

7) Life is like an electromagnet. Try attracting only good and repel the bad.
24 - 09- 1992

8) Life is like a running race. God has gifted all of us with a beautiful mind to think and ponder as well. How many of us can make it to a finish, if asked to do so with good conduct and character.
18 - 11- 1992

9) It is better to stay cool and calm like a stream flowing through a valley rather than to be at the top of the mountain surrounded by fire.
27-06-1992

10) Life need not be a river. It can as well be a small rivulet. All will finally merge in to the sea i.e. me.
15-07-1992

11) One should grow in life emulating the example of a coconut tree by being useful to the society. Growth should not be like a wild tree, serving no purpose.
10-12-1992

12) Life should follow the example of a green crop that is fully useful to the mankind. It should never be like a mine abandoned halfway through.
10-12-1992

13) Life is a mixture of periods of joy and sorrows. Develop the courage to welcome both with equal zeal.
13-12- 1992

14) Life is like a river of humanity flowing. In this huge crowd we come across both friends and foes. We should learn to be comfortable in all companies.
01-06- 1993

15) It is very difficult to be totally rid of all the bonds in life. Fulfill your personal responsibilities and social obligations to the extent possible.
17-12-1992

16) Life is like a wrestling competition. If one makes a foul move or indulges in a wrong play, the hands are automatically tied up and beaten up badly till the inner ego is killed.
04-01- 1993

17) Life and journey by train are similar with Kith and kin as co – passengers. Later when a decision to change over to another train (spiritual path) is taken, your own people may not prefer to accompany you.

18) What we do not have in life is not important. What matters most is whether we are contented with what we have.
16-12-1992

19) Life in the last stage is like the travel with one’s wife in a vintage car. The only obstacles in your journey are any mischief committed by your grand children or your desire to eat any thing on the wayside.
07-01-1993

20) Life is like a forest where all sorts of animals live. Offer Protection to the weaker ones. Do not permit torturing them or derive pleasure in watching them struggle for life. In the process if they are killed, you have to run to avenge the bigger killer.
07-01-1993

21) You are like a rickshaw puller; wife and children get into it to get down on the way, paying you in kind (love and affection). Finally when all your energies are drained, I shall be the one to pull you to your destination.
12-01-1993

22) Let the metal of life be subjected to intense heat of trials and testing periods. Once immersed in the fluid (Sai) and watch it glow with superb color and shine.
09-02-1993

23) Pilgrimage in life (search for God) is important but it need not start from the very first station, it can as well start from some where half way through.
01-02- 1993

24) By perambulating around the deities in the temples, you only gaining the feeling that you have gone round the God. If you adopt an orphan child God himself will be after you to look after the orphaned child.
13-02-1993

25) You are like a bull pulling a bullock cart and must be tired of doing it continuously. Rest for a while in between, recapitulate the good events of the past, to get refreshed and restart.
14-02-1993

26) Life is a movie projector and you are its operator. As long as the projection is going on well with out any interruptions, the audiences (wife and children) cheer and praise you. Any breaks in the film only invite strong criticism and would be considered as failure on your part. However you have to run the show till the end, as you cannot run away halfway through.
02-03-1993

27) Life is like dwelling in a seven-storied building. Try living in the seventh floor with seven doors to reach God with lesser efforts.

27-09-1995

29) Kith and kin respect you for temporary wealth at your command but not without evil designs and jealousies in their minds. Try to earn the God's grace, since it cannot be stolen by anybody. Distribute the resulting fruits to others liberally and become a Sai bandhu.
31-10-1995

30) Do not take a rigid stand on the happenings in life. Accept things as they come with pleasure, to lead a peaceful and happy life.
14-12-1995

31) Life is like game of cricket where you are at the bowling end and your children are batting. They hit hard to their full capacities and leave the field exhausted. When it is your turn to bat, they are reluctant to bowl leaving you as mute spectator or forced to retire with out scoring any runs.
17-08-1995

32) Learn to save for the needs of tomorrow while spending for the bare necessities of today. Do not give the entire responsibility of looking after you in to the hands of your children, to prevent having a miserable old age.
17-08-1995

33) The periods of light and darkness are a matter of natural phenomena in one's life. Carry on the journey to the destination, with the support of ‘samardha Sadhguru’ on the path shown by him. You are sure to find a friend in everybody.
05-09-1995

34) The day you stop aspiring for position and wealth while practicing non- interference in to other's activities, you are qualified to enter the World of spiritualism. The day you can see the mother in your wife, you are on the top of the spiritual World.

19-07-1996

39) How many dips we had in the holy Ganges is not important. How much of dirt we have removed from our hearts should be of importance.
08-08-1996

19-09-1996

41) Do not forget the hardships you have faced in life and do not create the same to others to be human. The moment you do, you are as good as a devil.

17-12-1996

50) People with and with out money are both living happily. Money is not the only thing in life. The strong will to lead a happy and contented life is more important.

SAI's MESSAGE FOR LIFE FROM THE DIARY OF SAI.BA.NI.SA(51-101)

26-06-1993

62) Life is like a story of Bethal and Vikram in which you assume the role of the Vikram. Your job is to reach the destination (to attain moksha). Bethal symbolizes ups and downs in life.

03-01-1994

12-04-1994

31-03-2000

86) Man compromises with the impeding ups and downs, to continue the journey of life. Do the same when you face chronic Health problems, instead of developing suicidal tendencies. It is a great sin to commit suicide. Ups and downs in life and health related problems are all a result of our own karmic deeds. The earlier we realize this ground reality the better it is.
30-04-2000

87) To live, money is essential. Money is also a root cause of our ego. Ego disturbs the mental balance of an individual. I, as a humble servant of God, assure you that I shall help to remove your ego so that you can reach God.

30-09-1999

93) Life is comparable to the planet Earth spinning around it and rotating round the Sun through the ages. Happiness symbolizes days and sorrow the nights. Journey through life is a continuous process. The sensitivity to a given situation depends upon how thick skinned one is. Happiness and sorrow are two faces of the same coin (life) and are purely a matter of personal experience and concern. Resort to Sai for the desired protection against all odds to enlighten the individual spiritually where every thing appears on the same plane.
31-08-1999

94) The ordeals you have undergone, the feasts and fasts you have undertaken during the course of fulfilling your moral /social obligations and responsibilities are well known to me. I am bound by your devotion and I assure you that I shall stand by your side for a safe voyage.

95) Mother, youth, bonds of love (wife and children), Social status and position in office- are all passing phases during one's life. ‘Ram’ the (Master) and his devotee Hanuman (servant) are the only permanent entities in the universe.

29-04-99

98) The only tools with which couples can solve their marital disputes are self-introspection and prayer. Any external interference will only lead to inviting further problems. Seeking divorce and legal separation multiplies the miseries of the begotten children amounts to doing grave injustice to them.
