Dear readers,
Saibaba , out of love and for the welfare of his devotees , used to give them advice to help them grow spritually , so as to set them and make them tread always on the right path and ultimately reach their main spiritual goal of life , that is Paramartha (salvation). Such are the methods or leelas of our dear Saibaba which are so skillfully designed and carried out that people are taken aback with surprise at the slow but certainly aquired result . We all are experiencing , seeing , and hearing such experiences till date.

Below are few of the golden sayings of our dear Saibaba which are quoted in such a simple language so as that even a common villager can understand and assimilate in order to acheive his spiritual goal of life that is Paramartha (salvation).

Dear readers , i tried to recollect and convey as much as information possible about our dear Saibaba uptill now.Saibaba's greatness is unfathomable , so are his wonderful leelas. His life is also such for he is ,'Param brahma(Almighty- God) incarnate' .
Please forgive me if i failed in any ways for i know that, words become limited when we fix our mind to describe Baba's infinite leelas which are taking place much after his Mahasamadhi , which itself is a proof of His ever-pervasiveness and love for his devotees.

Below are few golden words of Sri Saibaba :


"Leave off all cleverness & always remember , "Sai" , "Sai".If you did that,he said , "All your shackles would be removed and you would be free."


"Those , who are fortunate and whose demerits have vanished, take up to my worship . If you always say ,"Sai , Sai" , I shall take you over the seven seas. Believe in these words, and you will be certainly benifitted. I do not need any paraphernalia of worship - either eight fold or sixteen fold. I rest there , where there is full devotion."


"However,oppressed and troubled one may be , as soon as he steps in the masjid , he is on the pathway to happiness."

"Those devotees , who are attached to Me ,heart and soul , will naturally feel happiness , when they hear these stories. Believe Me that ,if anybody sings My Leelas, I will give him infinite joy and everlasting contentment. Its my special characterstic to free any person , Who surrenders completely to Me constantly. How can they be concious of worldly objects and sensations , who utter My name , who worship Me , who think of My stories & My life , & who thus always remember Me !"

"I shall draw out My devotees from the jaws of death. If My stories are listened to,all the diseases will be got rid of.So, hear My stories with respect, and think and meditate on them, assimilate them."


"I am the inner ruler of all and seated in your heart. I envelope all the creatures , the movable and immovable world."


"There will never be any dearth or scarcity ,regarding food and clothes in My devotee's home.Its my special characterstic , that I always look to & provide for, the welfare of devotees , who worship Me whole-heartedly with their minds ever fixed on Me."


"Whosoever devoutly offers to Me a leaf, a flower or a fruit or water , of that pure hearted man , I accept that pious offering."


"My treasury is full and I can give anyone, what he wants, but I have to see,whether he is qualified to receive My gift. If you listen to Me carefully, you will be certainly benefitted. While sitting in this masjid I never speak any untruth."


"Do not try to get mantra or upadesh from anybody. Make me the sole object of ur thoughts and actions and you will , no doubts , attain Paramartha (the spiritual goal of life). Look at me whole -heartedly and I , in turn look at you . Sitting in this masjid , I speak the truth , nothing but the truth. No Sadhana or proficiency in the six shastras , is necessary. Have faith and confidence in your Guru. Believe that,Guru is the sole actor or doer. Blessed is he , who knows the greatness of his Guru and thinks him to be Hari , Hara and Brahma (Trimurti) incarnate."


"Believe Me , though I pass away , My bones in My tomb would be speaking , moving and communicating with those , who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be anxious that , I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember me always , believe in Me heart and soul and then , you will be most benefitted."


"Let my man(devotees) be at any distance a thousand kos away from Me , he will be drawn to Shirdi , like a sparrow ,with a thread tied to its feet."


" I always think of him , who remembers Me. I require no conveyance ,carriage , tonga , train or aeroplane. I manifest Myself to him, who lovingly calls Me. See , to keep My words , I would sacrifice my life , I would never be untrue to My words."

" You need not to go far in search of Me. Barring your name and form ,there exists in you as well as in all beings , a sense of Being or Conciousness of Existence. THAT IS MYSELF. Knowing this , you see Me inside yourself , as well as in all beings. If you practise this , you will realize all-pervasiveness , and thus attain one-ness(unity) with Me."


"He , who carps and cavils at others , pierces Me in the heart and injures Me , but he that suffers and endures , pleases Me most."


"Oh , why do you prostrate yourself now and then ? One namaskar offered with love and humility is enough."
