4. SAI PHILOSOPHY:

 

SAI PHILOSOPHY FROM THE DIARY OF SAI.BA.NI.SA.

 

These messages are the outcome and essence of the dream sequences of Saibanisa as given by Lord Sainath, which reflect the Sai Philosophy and his high thinking. They carry a sense of deep meaning and are generally thought provoking, enough to set one’s thinking process.

Translated and presented by RAGHU RAMAN SATULURY.

 

145) 20th November 1993: Helping a stranger in trouble may some times scare him .It is but natural. Help them unobtrusively if required and forget about them.

147) 5th December 1993: A good person should follow the example of an earthworm. The earthworm purifies the soil and helps the farmer in getting a good crop. Lead a life that is useful to others.

149) 18th February 1994: The temples built for God are temporal. Establish a direct link and depend upon the endless resource of cosmic energy radiating from the "LORD" for spiritual growth.

 

150) 11th March 1994: Water is the basic necessity for life to survive and traces its origin to the lotus feet of "LORD SREEHARI”.

Letter – 47 (Chapter – 50)

Dear Chakrapani,

 Sri Hemadri Pant narrated stories of prominent Sai devotees in this chapter. Recognize the Divine Love showered by Sri Sai on HIS devotees.

Yesterday I went to Sri Sanyasi Rao’s house at 5 PM and finalized the alliance of your elder sister with their elder son Chiranjeevi (prefix, meaning with long life, used for a young person) Ramakrishna. They did not ask for any dowry. They gave a list of traditional wedding gifts to groom and relatives, the list had Sri Sai written on top of the page and I happily agreed for all.

I used to hold grudge against some of our relatives till yesterday and before my arrival in Visakhapatnam. This day early in the morning Sri Sai, in the form of an unknown person, appeared in my dream and int
