GURUVAAR PRARTHANA
Our Beloved Sadguru Sainath, please accept our humble prayers on this Holy Day of Guruvaar. Baba, please bless us permission to learn when everybody is complaining, permission to love yourself unconditionally when everybody around is despising you, permission to be constructive when everybody is destructive, permission to seek your purpose when everybody is living in confusion. Baba, with Your permission, we live a life as desired by You. On this holy day we start our prayers by reading your divine guidance in Shri Sai Samartha Satcharitra.
Therefore, for the sake of one's own upliftment, one should attain Sai's blessings. Read his stories, listen and meditate on them.
If you listen to this biography of Sainath, in the company of wife, son, family, friends and relatives, you will get the benefits of both the worlds. Baba's leelas are unique.
Only the fortunate and faithful listeners are able to listen to these stories. While listening, a feeling of lightness steals through them and leads to an all encompassing peace.
In the running waters of the stream of the life stories, the salt of actions and non-actions will dissolve and Sai's beautiful image will appear before the eyes, through listening.
By listening to his life story, sins will be destroyed. By listening to his life story, destiny will be fought. By listening to his life story, supreme happiness will be achieved effortlessly by the listeners.
By listening, the heart will become pure; by listening the cycle of birth and death will be avoided; by listening the listeners will achieve Brahman, which can be achieved by performing actions and offering the fruits to Brahman.
Such a person who desires to serve Sai, Sai will make him desireless and Sairama will give rest, peace and happiness to his own devotee.
Oh, listeners please read, listen, study or meditate on this book, part by part, daily or learn it or recite it.
'Know thyself perfectly well. That happiness is Brahman'; is the famous quotation from the Taittirya Upanishad. This is transcripted to the devotees by Baba, who was well-versed in the Shrutis.
"Do not worry in the least. Remain always cheerful. Do not have any anxieties until death. " Baba always preached this.
