Satsang Gifts of Sri Sai Baba -A Warning

A Warning:
Sri Sai Baba showered his benefits on thousands in a

variety of ways. Some only of these have been revealed
to this writer; and these may be a sample of his gift to
others. But one cannot be sure that the highest have been
yet made public. However that may be, before proceeding
to give a very brief sketch of these, the writer has one
request to make or a warning to give. Persons who are great
admirers of particular saints, like Krishna Chaitanya,
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Samartha Ramdas, Haranath

or Thayumanava, should not judge others exclusively by the
life, teachings and methods of their saint or hero. Let not
Sri Sai Baba be measured on the Procreates bed of any
particular saint. Sri Sai is a rare phenomenon by himself and

his services to Humanity, if judged calmly, would be found
great enough to require a special corner in our pantheon and
a readjustment of our ideas based wholly on a few past
examples. In the words of Browning (As adapted) we must
insist,


Our times are in His hand, Who said "A whole I planned, past
shows but half; Trust God, see all, nor be afraid". Add this to
the rest, Take it and try its worth.

Attitude to Suffering
Examine yourself, and you find that you deserve all your

suffering and more. You, Be satisfied with the condition in
which God pieces Suffering becomes sweet when you are
with Him. Comfort yourself with Him who holds you fastened
to the Cross. Consider sickness as coming from the hand of
God, an act of mercy designed to turn the mind inward.

God is the one physician for all maladies: rely on other.
No Rely more on physic than on God, and you retard your

own recovery. Put your whole trust in Him, and lay aside all
fears and cares.
