Satsang SAI's GUIDANCE

SAI's GUIDANCE

1.      FOUR Lines in the STANZA of a POEM, are GIST of Four EXPERIENCES.,
THE Substance of all the lines in a LYRIC, A summary of a chapter.,
THE Meaning of WORDS in a SONG, A Theme of the Raga(2).,
THE Fruits of GOOD-DEEDS in a VIRTUOUS LIFE.,
A RIGHT Path to reach THEE and to secure Eternal Salvation.,
(1)YAGANAS:- Religious Rituals,  (2) RAGA:-Melody

2.    GURU'S Guidance-Cessation of cycle of Births and Deaths.,
SERVICE-TO-OTHERS-THE only TRUE "Guru's Dakshina(1)".,
COMPANY of the REVERED, "TEACHING of the PIOUS".,
Forgetting Self, striving for others, shedding PRIDE and HATRED.,
Verily, a True Process to Earn a place in the HEART of the GURU.,

3.    TO seek Un-SELFISH Donors, A Fruitful Effort.,
Treating "ALL" Equal, a SIGN of MAGNANIMITY.,
"ALL" WORLD an "ILLUSION", UNIVERSE an Abiding REALITY.,
So, say the ENLIGHTENED and the EVOLVED.,
HAUGHTY and EGO-CENTRIC "Being" - An Ignorant" FOOL".,
He who does not PERFORM but gives Excuses, a "CUNNING CROOK".,

(1) Dakshina:- Gratuity

4. ONE Who conquers DELUSION, one who kills LUST, a TRUE "YOGI,
ONE Who thrives in LUST and conquered by Delusion A TRUE "BHOGl",
ONE Who Pures only for SELF-EMANCIPATION-a TRUE "MUNI".,
ONE Who Strives for NEAR and DEAR, a TRUE MASTER;
ONE Who Depends upon others, Verily a SLAVE.,

5. HELPLESS, Unable to Lead the Life of a SLAVE.,
URGING THEE to save me, O! THE MUNIFICIENT OF THE MEEK.,
O! THE SAVIOUR of all the Devouts and the Deserted.,
Hasten to rescue me and Draw me close to THEE.,
BE my LORD, My GUIDE; YOGI THOU Art, Grant me KNOWLEDGE.,
BE my ALMIGHTY and Teach me the way to my Final Deliverance.,
O! THE SUPREME SAINT of GUIDANCE, O! THE SAI of SHIRIDI.
