Sri Sai Baba’s Promise

Aum Sairam,

Sri Sai Baba blesses us all on this day. May He protect us and our loved ones away from the harms way. May our love for Him grow everyday.

Promises made by man have selfish intent and often broken resulting in pain, grief, anger and mistrust. While the promise made by Sadguru comes out for selfless love towards His devotees. This promise comes only when there is implicit trust of devotee towards their Sadguru. It is this love for Guru, and faith in Him that evokes a promise from the Master towards His children. Promises are not made in vain. It is only when Guru knows the worth of His children and their sincerity in their feelings towards Guru, this promise is made.

The promise thus made by Guru is to save the man from the worldly pain, and grief and help His achieve man's ultimate goal. Hence it is better for us, as humans to crave for His love and blessings, which stand us in good stead in all walks of life. This can be earned to sincerity in love towards Sadguru.

Here is Sri Sai Baba's promise to His devotees.

For a greedy man there is no peace, neither contentment, nor steadiness. If there be even a little trace of greed in mind, all the spiritual endeavors are of no avail. Even the knowledge of a well-read man, who is not free from the desire of the fruit or reward of his actions, and who has got no disgust for the same, is useless and can't help him in getting self-realization. The teachings of a Guru are of no use to a man, who is full of egoism, and who always thinks about the sense objects. Purification of mind is absolutely necessary, without it, all our spiritual endeavors are nothing but useless show and pomp. It is, therefore, better for one to take only what he can digest and assimilate. My treasure is full, and I can give anyone, what he wants, but I have to see whether he is qualified to receive what I give. If you listen to Me carefully, you will be certainly be benefited. Sitting in this Masjid, I never speak any untruth." Chapter XVI and XVII Shri Sai Satcharitra.
