GURUVAAR PRARTHNA
Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy Day of Guruvaar. Baba, as You desire, we don't look back and continue to look ahead. When our memory is full of sadness and our life is covered with scars of abuse and pain, we don't look back, but look ahead. When tears start rolling in our face and our struggles overwhelming us, we don't look back and look ahead. When people walk away from us and betray our trust, we don't look back, but look ahead. Yes Baba, always we look ahead, because You are in front of us and offering refuge under Your Lotus Feet. With You we are safe and secure, no fear, no tears, Baba, on this holy day we start our prayers by reading your divine guidance from Shri Sai Samartha Satcharitra.
"Without having an association from some earlier life, no one, not just human beings but even animals and birds, come across one another. Therefore, do not rebuff any one.
Respect the strangers who come to your doorstep. Offer water to the thirsty, give bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked and some space to rest in your verandah to the needy. This will please the Lord.
If anybody is in need of money and you are not desirous of giving, do not give; but at least, don't behave in an insulting manner and bark like a dog at him.
Anyone may call you names in a hundred ways, never retort with bitterness. Tolerate it with patience. You will gain tremendous happiness.
Even if the world turns topsy-turvy, you should remain still. Be steadfast and observe passively.
Break down the wall between you and me. Then the way to approach each other will be clear and there will be no fear.
The sense of duality between you and me is the wall between the Guru and the disciple. Till this wall is not completely demolished, the state of oneness is impossible to achieve.
'Allah is the Master. Allah is the Master.' There is no other protector than Him. His deeds are divine, invaluable and incomprehensible.
It will be what He wills. He alone will show the path. When the time comes, without a moment's delay, the wish will be granted.
People meet as destiny decides. We come together because of good fortune. We should, therefore nurture affection for each other and enjoy happiness and serenity.
Who is immortal here? Blessed is he who has attained the supreme goal of life. Others only breathe to remain alive ".
