There is no need of elaborate means of knowledge. There should be steadfast faith that Guru alone is the protector and destroyer.

God runs to help devotees in times of danger.

 

I pledge that I would cross even the seven seas to help those who seek My protection. God runs to help  devotees in times of danger.

Then I will be always with you wherever you are.

 

You must always adhere to truth and fulfill all the promises you make. Have faith and patience. Then I will be always with you wherever you are.

Know that that which is Knowledge incarnate

 

Know that that which is Knowledge incarnate, or Supreme Pure Consciousness or Blissful Joy. That is my true nature. So meditate on it regularly.

If meditating on Supreme pure consciousness is not possible.

 

If meditating  on Supreme pure consciousness is not possible. Then meditate on my manifest form. Bring to mind by day and by night, my figure from head to foot, with all its attributes.

This is Samadhi.

 

When the repeated contemplation becomes perfect and the difference between the meditation and meditator  disappears, then the mind becomes calm and steady, like the lamp on the windless night. This is Samadhi.

For the purpose of meditating upon the Guru.

All my sense organs, including the mind, had left their places and come to stay in my eyes alone, for the purpose of meditating upon the Guru.

 

I feel indebted to him

 

I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself completely to Me and ever remembers Me. I shall repay his debt by giving him salvation, self-realisation.

Who sows surely reaps its fruits,

  Who sows surely reaps its fruits, why should other suffer with anxiety?  

In field of action the body disintegrates, so never waste time in leisure.

Those who think I reside at Shirdi

Those who think I reside at Shirdi

do not know the real Sai, for I am formless and everywhere!"

People come running to Shirdi

 

People come running to Shirdi, only to ask for material pleasures and worship me, a mere Fakir, for it. But no one asks for Brahman!

Shri Sai SatCharitra Chapter 16 verse 41.
