Baba’s sayings about Books

Para Number in the Book & About some books

183A. Baba to (a) H.S.Dixit- “Kaka, these two are quite enough.’

They were (1) ‘Adhyatma Ramayana: and (2) Ekanath Bhagavata.’”

183B“ Kaka, read this.

Soon after H.S.D. lost his daughter. Baba made him read in Adhyatma Ramayana, Sree Rama’s consolation to Mandodari.

184. Baba to Lakshman- “This (i.e., Tilak’s Gita Rahasya) is good.” Baba gave him Rs.l/- with the book.

185A. Baba to Kusa Bhav- “Come here to this mosque and be reading “Guru Charitra.”

185B. Baba to Kusa Bhav: “Read Dasa Bodha.”

186. Baba (to G.G. Narke): You are reading an excellent book (Yoga Vasishta). Get me Rs.15/- dakshina[donation] from that.

That is, Baba wanted him to read certain passages from Y.V., relating to 15 items and meditate on them and apply them to his heart, thus making a present of them to Baba in his heart.

187.Baba to Upasani Maharaj- “This (Panchadasi) is our treasury (i.e.. it contains all that we want).”

188. Baba (to Mukunda Lele Sastri): “Go on for ten days, repeating in this Dwaraka Mayi, Narayan Upanishad Taittariya Bhaga. (And that was done).

  1. Baba (to B.V.Dev): “Read Jnaneswari (a well-known Mahratti commentary on Bhagavad Gita).” (cf 126 )
  2. Baba (in his last days): Go on reading Rama Vijaya here so that Mrityunjaya may be pleased thereby. (And that was done.)

190A. ‘Rege, Do not read any book, but keep me in your heart.“

191. Baba on each Guru Poornima day was seated at the Dwaraka Mayee. Devotees came to him, each with a book in hand; gave it to him for receiving it back with His blessings for the fruition of his study.

Baba generally returned the books to the giver. Sometimes he gave the book of one to some other, substituting some other’s book for his. On one such occasion a Bhaktha M.B.Rege had brought no book at all.

Baba (to M.B.R, looking at him): “You are right DO NOT READ ANY BOOK.”

“These people think they will find Brahman (God)in these books, but they find Brama (confusion)in them.   It is enough if you KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART, and make your heart harmonise with the head.}”
