SADGURUS

Sadguru or Qutab or Perfect Master Or Master Or Kamil an only lead a man to God.
All other Gurus, called by whatever name can’t lead a soul to God or Over soul,
but can only show the path within their capacities.

A man comes into contact with a Sadguru only as a result of accumulation of lots of good deeds in the past lives. One can try to seek God by going from Guru to Guru, but once the Sadguru comes to hides life , he should end his search and surrender to him because he can only give God realization to the seeker.

When one starts loving a Sadguru and establishes internal contact with him, the divine love latent in his soul slowly come out with all its manifestations.

Only realized souls know that the life under the protection of a Sadguru is much more joyous and meaningful than the so called life in the heaven, how – so – ever grand it may seem.

The Sadguru not only raises the latent divine love in devotee but leads his in a manner befitting and most convenient for that soul towards God by himself removing all the obstacles that may come in the way..

ON THE WINGS OF PRAYER


Just close your eyes and open your heart

And feel your worries and cares depart,

Just yield yourself to the Father above

And let him hold you secure in His love..

For life on earth grows more involved

With endless problems that can't be solved

But God only asks us to do our best,

Then He will " take over" and finish the rest...

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,

There's alays one door that is open to you

And that is the door to "The House of Prayer"

And you'll find God waiting to meet you there..

And "The House of Prayer" is no farther away

Than the quite spot where you kneel and pray

For the heart is a temple when God is there

As we place ourselves in His loving care...

And He hears every prayer and answers each one

When we pray in His name "Thy Will Be Done"

And the burdens that seemed too heavy to bear

Are lifted away on "The Wings of Prayer"

Don't murmur and rebel in your hour of adversity..

Learn to trust God in every trial..

THE WORDS OF SAI BABA

God is and there is nothing higher than Him.
He is Perfect.

He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.
He is the Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer.
Surrender voluntarily and totally to His Will.
Not a blade of grass moves without His Will.
Trust in Him and do the right.
Let the inner light (enlightend conscience) guide all Your actions.
perform your duty consciently and with detachment regarding yourself not as the doer but only as an instrument in his hands.
Surrender the fruit of action to him so that action will not harm or bind you.
let your love and compassion flow to all creatures of God.
Do not engage in controversy.
Words (of others) cannot harm and bind you.
Bear with others patiently.
Accept your lot cheerfully without comparing youself with others.
Do not speak ill of others.
Do not give tit for tat for each is answerable for his own actions.

Request 2 God !!


I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No..
It is not for me to take away,
but for u to give up..

I asked God to make
my handicapped friend whole..
God said said, No..
His spirit is whole,
his body is only temporary..

I asked God to give me patience..
God said, No..
Patience is a by-product of tribulations;
It isn't granted, it is learned..

I asked God to give me happiness..
God said No..
I have given you blessings,
Happiness is up to you..

I asked God to spare me pain..
God said, No..
Suffering draws you apart
From worldly cares
and brings you closer to me..

I asked God to make my spirit to grow..
God said No..
You must grow your own,
But I prune you to make you fruitful..

I asked God to help all of the things
I might enjoy in life..
God said, No..
I will give you life,
So that you may enjoy all things..

I asked God to help me LOVE OTHERS...
God said................
"Ohhhhhhh.... FINALLY YOU HAVE THE IDEA !!!!!
This day is yours, don't throw it away..
I'm always with U !!!!!"

saying of baba

Education can yield peace and prosperity only
when, along with technical skills and objective information, students are equipped with moral ideals, righteous living and spiritual insight.
