The function of the mind is to think, it cannot remain for a minute without thinking.  If you give it a Sense-object, it will think about it.  If you give it Guru, it will think about Guru.  You have heard most attentively the greatness, grandeur of Sai.  This is the natural rememberence, worship and Kirtan of Sai.  Hearing the stories of the Saints is not so difficult, as the other Sadhanas mentioned above.  They (stories) remove all fear of this Samsar (worldly existence), and take you on to the spiritual path.  So listen to these stories, meditate on them, and assimilate them.

Whatever He did was done for the good of His devotees.  He never prescribed any Asan, regulation of breathing for any rites to His Bhaktas, nor did He blow any mantra into their ears.  He told them to leave off all cleverness and always remember "Sai" "Sai".  If you did that He said, all your shackles would be removed and you would be free.  Sitting between five fires, sacrifices, chantings, eight-fold Yoga are possible for the Brahmins only, they are of no use to the other classes.

As we all know, four things are common to all the creatures, viz., food, sleep, fear and sexual union.  In the case of man, he is endowed with a special faculty, viz., knowledge, with the help of which he can attain God-vision, which is impossible in any other birth.  It is for this reason that Gods envy human species, and aspire to be born as men on earth, so as to get their final deliverance.

"There will never be any dearth of scarcity, regarding food and clothes, in any devotees homes.  It is my special characteristic, that I always look to, and provide, for the welfare of those devotees, who worship Me whole-heartedly with their minds ever fixed on Me.  Lord Krishna has also said the same in the Gita.  Therefore, strive not much for food and clothes.  If you want anything, beg of the Lord, leave wordly honours, try to get Lord's grace and blessings, and be honoured in His Court.  Do not be deluded by worldly honour.  The form of the Deity should be firmly fixed in the mind.  Let all the senses and mind be ever devoted to the worship of the Lord, let there be no attraction for any other thing; fix the mind in remembering Me always so that it will not wander elsewhere, towards body, wealth and home.  Then it will be calm, peaceful and care-free.  This is the sign of the mind being well engaged in good company.  If the mind is vagrant, it cannot be called well-merged."

Where Real or Sad-Guru is the helmsman, he is sure to carry us safely and easily beyond the worldly ocean.
If anyone prostrates before Sai and surrenders heart and soul to Him, then unsolicited, all the chief objects of life, viz. Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (Desire) and Moksha (Deliverance), are easily and unsolicitedly attained.  Four paths, viz., of Karma, Jnana, Yoga and Bhakti lead us seperatly to God.  Of these, the path of Bhakti is thorny and full of pits and ditches, and thus difficult to traverse; but if you, relying on your Sadguru, avoid the pits and thorns and walk straight, it will take you to the destination (God).  So says definitely, Sai Baba.

Though Brahmin by birth, I lacked the two eyes.  (i.e. the sight or vision) of Shruti and Smriti and therefore was not at all capable of writing the Sat-Charita, but the grace of the Lord makes a dumb man talk, enables a lame man to cross a mountain.  He alone knows the knack of getting things done as He likes.  Neither the flute, nor the harmonium knows how the sounds are produced.  This is the concern of the Player.  The oozing of Chandrakant jewel and the surging of the sea are not due to the jewel and the sea but to the rise of the moon.

Lord Krishna says in Bhagvadgita (Chapter IV, 7-8) that "Whenever there is a decay of Dharma (righteousness) and an ascendancy of unrighteousness I manifest Myself;  and for the protection of the virtuous, the destruction of the vicious and for the establishment of righteousness, I manifest Myself in age after age".
