SAI BABA, THE GOLD SMITH
A Gold Smith goes on hammering low and hard on a raw gold piece and puts it into fire to purify it. After purification, he makes it a very beautiful ornament liked and loved by one and all. Similarly our beloved Mother Baba hammers on us, her dear children, low and hard by putting us into various troubles and humiliation. When we the Sai children bear all these difficulties keeping constant faith on our Amma (Baba), she makes us a pure soul and beloved man like a dazzling ornament. So all these troubles, insults, humiliations, etc., are nothing but the small and big hammerings of Baba on us to make us pure and glittering souls. 1. Like nights are followed by days and vice versa, the bad days are always followed by good days. The patience i.e. Saburi and Bhakti are required to wait and enjoy. . 2. A man who is away from pleasure is also away from pain. He is Paramahamsa. He is Jeevan Muktha. 3. If you want to enjoy heavenly pleasure of self realisation (Sat Chit Ananda State) then you have to forgo worldly pleasure and enjoyments. 4. All tear and anxiety are the result of desire. Head aches and heart attacks are the consequences of desire only. 5. The food which is tasty for tounge, is bad for stomach. Similarly the activity which is most enjoyable for physical body is more dangerous for spiritual progress. 6. Every activity in anybody's life is controlled by the unseen hand of Baba. If you divert your mind and try to realise his hand, you can know it. 7. The richest man on the world is he who never worries for tomorrow. Major E. B.
