The Satsang Foundation

What each one of us must understand is to first lead a good life by helping as many people as possible

Sai Baba always said, ‘I give people what they ask – thinking, hoping, they will ask me one day what I really want to give them’.

The central message is –there is only One Supreme Being and that Supreme Being resides in the hearts of all. He is the Antaryami.

Sai Baba was a strange person. Sometimes, his mood would be terrible, and nobody would dare go near him. And then, sometimes, he would be so affectionate that you could do anything

Satsangis critical – because you become according to the company you keep. If I live with people who talk about the Truth or want to find out what it is; who do japa and kirtan and bhajan, then I become like them in due course.

There’s a faculty that opens by which one can probably begin to understand these things. That is called the opening of the ‘Heart’.  It is not open-heart surgery!

We think we can solve everything with our rational brain! This is one of the problems man faces when he reads the scriptures. He feels that with his intellect, he can explain everything.

Most of the benefits derived from Sai Baba were through Satsangs. The Satsang would sometimes be by touch, by talk,or by sight. He never taught people by talking about philosophy or the scriptures.

Sai Baba of Shirdi would say ‘Allah Malik Hai,’ or ‘Ram, Ram’ when people went to him with their problems. No one could say whether he was a Muslim, Hindu, or a Christian.

The message of Sai Baba of Shirdi was to convey the total unity of all religions. While living in a broken mosque, everyday he conducted the ritual of lighting a lamp or two there.

You see affection is a great thing that links the Supreme Manifestation, or even a Teacher to those who can benefit from it.
