Sadhana A man generally becomes egoistic due to education, wealth and indiscriminate spiritual knowledge. But he forgets that his wealth and erudition are Baba given. He thinks that these are obtained by self-effort alone and nobody has anything to do with it. Such a man's fate is like the Sun, who rises in all his glory at dawn and eaches the zenith at noon and as evening falls, disappears. Similarly, egoistic education, wealth and indiscriminate knowledge are like the glory of sunrise. As time passes, they are bound to disappear. We should give up ego and pride when we praise the greatness of Baba's superiority.
It is the duty of the wealthy to use their wealth to help those who are in real need. They should serve as a protective force to the society, especially for the poor and the needy. A man of charitable nature is always charitable. His quality is inborn. There is no need to teach him it is not easy to change the basic nature of man. A person, who is basically wicked, remains so. It is very difficult to transform him. A neem fruit can not be made sweet by pouring honey at the root of the tree. True devotion to Baba alone is the means to self- evolution. This itself is Sadhana. Such devotion prevents you from unrighteous behavior and mitigates suffering. Even if a devotee develops pride, Baba will correct him at an appropriate time by directing him to a Sadguru. Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to whom so ever you meet. Baba Said.... "Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere". Jai Sai Ram
