Why forgetting what you want is as important as asking what you desire?

Sairam friends,

There are few Sai devotees who have the habit of not asking anything to Baba. I am surprised that such people really exists in this world. They must be having immense faith on Sai that they assume Sai knows what they want and never ask for it. These are very matured devotees who are rare to find. I appreciate them but I believe we must also tell Sai baba about what we desire.

Its OK to let Saibaba know what we want. Let this saint know our needs so that he will work on us to get things done. When Sai lived, though he knows everyone’s past, present and future, he did kept calm until devotees ask for what they want. Sai did not bless everyone without uttering a word. To some devotees, even having darshan of Sai became a lucky event that from then on, their life became super cool.

But for vast majority of devotees, Sai has allowed them to speak up and ask for what they desire most?

This Sai baba of Shirdi is a poor fakir. He does listens to your prayers. Every single one of them but sometimes, due to lots of unknown reasons things may not happen as we desire. (I stopped speaking about karma since people are bored with it..ha ha) Some devotees directly write me saying, Please don’t say “my Karma” is a reason. I know that but in this birth, I only did good to all.

I just request one thing from you.

You have all rights to ask Saibaba what you desire most in life but when things doesn’t seem to happen, you must also temporarily forget what you want and move on with life. The major issue for mental problems and depression is sticking to one point and never moving ahead. Do not fix your mind in what you desire most in life.

Please. For Gods sake, move on.

Sai will give you what you desire most but not always. There are few things he cannot do and he himself have proved that as a part of life during his lifetime in Shirdi. There were close devotees of Baba who has gone through worst possible pains and disappointments in life but they continued to love Sai immensely.

So please ask baba what you desire.

When it seems to take too long or doesn’t seem to happen as of now, please forget it.

I know its hard but that’s how I lived all these years.

I am not too matured. I too feel bad why Sai doesn’t bother me but I understand him. I know him.

This is a relationship between a humble servant and his Guru.

Om Sai Ram
