- When a man takes a plunge into the sea, he gets the merit of bathing in all the Tirthas and sacred rivers.
- Similarly when a man takes refuge at the feet of the Sad-guru, he gets the merit of bowing to the Trinity, i.e. Brahma, Vishnu and Siva and also Para-Brahma.
- Victory be unto Shri Sai, the wish-fulfilling tree and the ocean of knowledge, who gives us self-realization.
- Oh Sai, create in us reverence for Your stories.
- Let the readers and audience devour them with the same relish; the chatak bird drinks the water from the clouds and becomes happy.
- While listening to Your stories, let them and their families get all the true and pious emotions, viz.
- let their bodies perspire,
- let their eyes be full of tears,
- let their breath be steady,
- let their minds be composed,
- let their hair stand on end,
- let them cry, sob and quiver,
- let their hostilities vanish.
- When these things happen, that is a sign of the grace of the Guru dawning upon them.
- When these emotions develop in you, the Guru is most pleased.
- The Guru will definitely guide you to the goal of self-realization.
- The best way, therefore,
- to get free from the shackles of Maya,
- is our complete and whole-hearted surrender to Baba.
- The Vedas cannot take you across the ocean of Maya. It is only the Sadguru, who can do so, and make you see the Lord in all creatures
