Sai Baba’s Sanction and Promise
Assignment of Work to Devotees
Baba’s Stories as a Beacon Light
His Motherly Love
Rohilla’s Story
And His sweet and Nectar-like Words
Sai Baba’s Sanction and Promise
As described in the previous chapter, Sai Baba gave His complete approval for the writing of the Satcharitra and said, “I fully agree with you regarding the writing of the Satcharitra. You do your duty, don’t be afraid in the least; keep your mind steady and have faith in My words. If my Leelas are written, ignorance will vanish and if they are attentively and devoutly listened to, the consciousness of worldly existence will abate and strong waves of love and devotion will rise. And if one dives deep into My Leelas, he will get precious jewels of knowledge.”
Hearing this, the author was very pleased and he at once became fearless and confident, and thought that his work was bound to be a success. Then turning to Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) Sai Baba said:
“If a man remembers My name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes and increase his devotion. And if he sings earnestly My life and My deeds, him I shall beset on all sides. Those devotees who are attached to Me, heart and soul, will naturally feel happy when they hear these stories. Believe Me, if anybody sings My Leelas, I will give him infinite joy and everlasting contentment. It is My special characteristic to free any person who surrenders completely to Me, worships Me faithfully, remembers Me and meditates on Me constantly. How can they who worship Me, who think of My stories and My life, and who thus always remember Me, be conscious of worldly objects and sensations? I shall save my devotees from the jaws of death. If My stories are listened to, all diseases will be gotten rid of. So hear My stories with respect and think about them, meditate on them and assimilate them. This is the way to happiness and contentment. The pride and egoism of My devotees will vanish, the mind of the listeners will be set at ease and if you have wholehearted and complete faith, you will be one with the Supreme Consciousness. The simple remembrance of the name “Sai” will do away with sins of speech and hearing”.
Different Works Assigned to Devotees
The Lord entrusts different tasks to different devotees. Some are given the work of building temples and flights of steps on banks of rivers, while others are made to sing the glories of God; some are sent on pilgrimages and I was allotted the work of writing the Satcharitra. Being a jack of all trades and a master of none, I was quite unqualified for this job. Then why should I undertake such a difficult task? Who can describe the true life of Sai Baba? Sai Baba’s grace alone can enable one to accomplish this difficult work; So, when I picked up my pen, Sai Baba took away my egoism and wrote these stories Himself. The credit of relating these stories therefore, goes to Him and not to me. Though Brahmin by birth, I lacked the two eyes, (the spiritual vision) of Shruti(that which is revealed) and Smriti(that which is ordinarily remembered) and therefore was not at all capable of writing the Satcharitra. But the grace of the Lord makes a dumb man talk and enables a lame man to climb a mountain, for He alone knows how to get things done according to His wishes. Neither the flute nor the harmonium know how the sounds are produced; it is the musician who controls the sounds they produce. Similarly, we are mere instruments of God’s divine will.
Baba’s Stories as a Beacon-Light
Light houses are constructed at various places near the sea to enable sailors to avoid rocks and dangers, and to help them sail safely. Sai Baba’s stories serve a similar purpose in the ocean of worldly existence. They surpass nectar in sweetness and make our worldly path smooth and easy to traverse. Blessed are the stories of the saints; ......................................

This chapter covers the following:
The Stories of Mr. Sathe and Mrs. Deshmukh
Encouraging Good Thoughts to Fruition
Variety in Upadesh: A Slanderer is Corrected
And Remuneration for Labor
In the last two Chapters, Hemadpant described how a rich gentleman, aspiring for quick Brahma-Jnana, was treated by Baba. And now in these two Chapters, he describes how Hemadpant was accepted and blessed by Baba, how Baba encouraged good thoughts and fructified them and gives His teachings regarding Self-improvement, slander and remuneration for labor.
Preliminary
It is a well-known fact that the Sadguru looks first at the qualifications of his disciples and then gives them suitable instructions, without unsettling their minds in the least. And he leads them on towards the goal of self-realization. In this respect, some say that what the Sadguru teaches or instructs, should not be divulged to others. They believe that these instructions become useless if they are published. This view is not correct; The Sadguru is like a monsoon cloud; He pours down profusely, his nectar-like teachings. These, we should enjoy and assimilate to our heart’s content and then serve others with them, without any reserve. We should apply this rule not only to what he teaches us when we are awake, but to the visions he gives us in our dreams. To quote an instance, Budhakowshik Rishi composed his celebrated Ram-raksha stotra based on what he had seen in his dreams.
Like a loving mother forcing bitter but wholesome medicines down the throats of her children, for the sake of their health, Sai Baba imparted spiritual instructions to His devotees. His method was not veiled or secret, but quite open. Devotees who followed His instructions attained their objective. Sadgurus like Sai Baba broaden our intellect and show us the divine beauty of the Self, and fulfill our tender longings of devotion. When this is done, our desire for sense-objects vanishes, the twin fruits of Viveka (discrimination) and Vairagya (dispassion or non-attachment) are attained and knowledge sprouts up even in our sleep. We get all this when we come in contact with Saints (Sadgurus), serve them and secure their love. The Lord who fulfills the desires of His devotees, comes to our aid, gets rid of our troubles and sufferings and makes us happy. This progress or development is entirely due to the help of the Sadguru, who is regarded as the Lord Himself. Therefore, we should always be eager to meet the Sadguru, hear His stories, fall at His Feet and serve Him. Now we come to our main story.
How Hemadpant was Accepted and Blessed:
Mr. Sathe’s Story:
There was a gentleman named Mr. Sathe who had attained some publicity many years ago during the Crawford Regime. Lord Reay, the Governor of Bombay at the time, quashed Mr. Sathe’s popularity and Mr. Sathe suffered severe losses in his trade. Other adverse circumstances also gave him a lot of trouble and made him sad and dejected. Restless, he thought of leaving home and going to a distant place. Man does not generally think of God, but when difficulties and calamities overtake him, he turns to God and prays for relief. If his evil actions have come to an end, God arranges his meeting with a Saint, who gives him proper directions regarding his welfare. Mr. Sathe had a similar experience. His friends advised him to go to Shirdi, where so many people were flocking to receive Sai Baba’s darshan, which helped them attain peace of mind and the satisfaction of their wants. He liked the idea and at once came to Shirdi in 1917. Upon seeing Baba’s Form, which was like Eternal Brahma− Self-luminous, Spotless and Pure− his mind lost its restlessness and became calm and composed. He thought that it was the accumulation of merits in his former births that had brought him to Baba’s Holy Feet. He was a man of strong will; He at once began to study the Guru-charitra. When the reading was finished in seven days, Baba gave him a vision one night. It was to this effect: Baba with the Guru-charitra in His hand was explaining its contents to Mr. Sathe, who was sitting in front of Baba and listening carefully. When he woke up, he remembered the dream and felt very happy. He thought that it was extremely kind of Baba to awaken souls like his that were snoring away in ignorance, and make them taste the nectar of the Guru-charitra.................

These, we should enjoy and assimilate to our heart’s content and then serve others with them, without any reserve. We should apply this rule not only to what he teaches us when we are awake, but to the visions he gives us in our dreams. To quote an instance, Budhakowshik Rishi composed his celebrated Ram-raksha stotra based on what he had seen in his dreams.
Like a loving mother forcing bitter but wholesome medicines down the throats of her children, for the sake of their health, Sai Baba imparted spiritual instructions to His devotees. His method was not veiled or secret, but quite open. Devotees who followed His instructions attained their objective. Sadgurus like Sai Baba broaden our intellect and show us the divine beauty of the Self, and fulfill our tender longings of devotion. When this is done, our desire for sense-objects vanishes, the twin fruits of Viveka (discrimination) and Vairagya (dispassion or non-attachment) are attained and knowledge sprouts up even in our sleep. We get all this when we come in contact with Saints (Sadgurus), serve them and secure their love. The Lord who fulfills the desires of His devotees, comes to our aid, gets rid of our troubles and sufferings and makes us happy. This progress or development is entirely due to the help of the Sadguru, who is regarded as the Lord Himself. Therefore, we should always be eager to meet the Sadguru, hear His stories, fall at His Feet and serve Him. Now we come to our main story.
How Hemadpant was Accepted and Blessed:
Mr. Sathe’s Story:
There was a gentleman named Mr. Sathe who had attained some publicity many years ago during the Crawford Regime. Lord Reay, the Governor of Bombay at the time, quashed Mr. Sathe’s popularity and Mr. Sathe suffered severe losses in his trade. Other adverse circumstances also gave him a lot of trouble and made him sad and dejected. Restless, he thought of leaving home and going to a distant place. Man does not generally think of God, but when difficulties and calamities overtake him, he turns to God and prays for relief. If his evil actions have come to an end, God arranges his meeting with a Saint, who gives him proper directions regarding his welfare. Mr. Sathe had a similar experience. His friends advised him to go to Shirdi, where so many people were flocking to receive Sai Baba’s darshan, which helped them attain peace of mind and the satisfaction of their wants. He liked the idea and at once came to Shirdi in 1917. Upon seeing Baba’s Form, which was like Eternal Brahma− Self-luminous, Spotless and Pure− his mind lost its restlessness and became calm and composed. He thought that it was the accumulation of merits in his former births that had brought him to Baba’s Holy Feet. He was a man of strong will; He at once began to study the Guru-charitra. When the reading was finished in seven days, Baba gave him a vision one night. It was to this effect: Baba with the Guru-charitra in His hand was explaining its contents to Mr. Sathe, who was sitting in front of Baba and listening carefully. When he woke up, he remembered the dream and felt very happy. He thought that it was extremely kind of Baba to awaken souls like his that were snoring away in ignorance, and make them taste the nectar of the Guru-charitra.................
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
