[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “I am not attached to Baba because of any of his miracles; I am attached because of his Kindness, Humanity & Compassion.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Problems are solved when we change by the influence of the Master.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Saints emit Spiritual Radiations, Thought Waves through their cognitive faculties, touch, look/glance, speech. They are not limited by distance or circumstances.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Sometimes saints get angry (with us) since they want to protect us like a mother”.
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Equality is one of the hallmarks of Saints. Baba absorbed everyone into his fold like an Ocean.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Imbibe the best of the Master’s kindness, goodness. Serve the poor – that is the Key mantra of The Shirdi Sai Movement.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “In the present day, you do not need second century ideals. Those do not work well. You need someone who will show the path in today’s perspective. Shri Shirdi Sai Baba has shown the path which is Harmony, Compassion and Kindness. He has shown the path of amalgamation of Religions and Cultures.”
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “Do not contaminate Faith with Blind Faith”.
[icon name=”star” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] “As for the upkeep of a garden, you need a Maali (Gardner), Take Baba as Maali (Gardner) to clean the weed (blind-beliefs) from your life and lead you in the true path.”
Understand the fundamental items for survival:
[icon name=”check” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Make your house and life stable. You have been given a job of a householder, thus make sure you take care of the family first. Don’t just leave your family in the name of achieving something else.
[icon name=”check” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Learn how to hold the society together: with Love for each other, Kindness & Compassion.
[icon name=”check” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] It is absolutely wrong to say that modern generation do not have ‘spirituality’, they have it in their own way and understanding.
While speaking at the event, Dr. Satpathy narrated how he came in contact with the Master and shared some of his early experiences. (These have been published in detail in his book, “Shirdi Sai Baba and other Perfect Masters”)
