Satsang doesn’t mean you sit everyday and you sing. Satsang also means you sit and introspect what did I do today? How much further did I reach today? Today what good things did I imbibe and what are the bad things. Then leave it and see what is new knowledge for the day. This is satsang. To participate and taking everyone along. This is satsang. Acknowledging your mistakes and surrendering them. What is the truth of life, looking into that… The main thing is getting rid of attachments. I want this, and this.. And why these attachements? Because of lack of knowledge. Not knowing that you will get what you need. ‘Dene wala chhappar phad ked deta hai’. The One Giver always gives in abundance. If you don’t have this faith then there will be fear. If there is fear, then there will be attachment. If there is attachment, then there will be envy. If there is envy there will be jealousy. One follows the other. It is not easy to cross over all this. But yes, it is not impossible either! Look back and see, five or two years back.. have you not changed? If yes, then you are on the right track. Then be happy, don’t fall into guilt. Guilt is as bad as self-praise. So choose the middle path. You know you should just drop your question in the question basket. If you keep one question, you lose all other knowledge. Like when you set out to buy salt and that is all that you are focussed on, then if someone brings a diamond to you, will not take that. So keep your mind so open that if a diamond comes your way, you take a diamond and if salt comes your way, you take salt. So keep your mind empty and sit. Many times, you keep a question in your mind and it automatically gets answered. How many of you have experienced this? ( many raise their hands) You ask a question in your mind and it gets answered, you don’t even need to ask it. This relationship should be established. This is the Guru Shishya Parampara. You will get what you need, you don’t even need to ask for it. You are set to ask a question, then it becomes an impediment in receiving other things. Ques: Does karma play a role in how much knowledge we receive from you. And how much of your physical presence is bestowed on sai-Yes, it depends on karma. And you can also change your karma! It is not written in stone, Karma can definitely be changed. Ques: I’m appalled by the pettiness and jealousy in me. #sai-Good at least u have at least u have come to this realization. Now drop all that and you leave it to me and be free. Too much self analysis is also not good, and no self analysis is also not good. You should analysis, understand, then drop and move forward. There are two positions, those who never analyse themselves. They always look at others, whether they are right or wrong, always judging others. They never introspect. This is absolutely bad. This is the way to go down. And there are other people who only anaylze themselves all the time. That is equally bad. So we need that middle path. You analyse, drop and move on. When you see that tendency is coming in, the moment you are aware of it, it is already gone. The more consciousness expands, your mind expands, the more you get into knowledge, more dispassion comes into you, automatically inner decoration will happen. Dispassion is the only cleansing thing. This is very important. Realizing this all ephemeral, this will all change and nothing is permanent. Ques: I sometimes have no control over our my actions, which is due to my past karmas. Can I change this through Sadhana? #Sai: Absolutely. Sadhana, bhakti, seva, satsang, if all this has no effect than what is the point of doing all this.If everything is destiny then what is the use of all this. If you say the medicines won’t work then why will you take it. When you know that the medicine will work, then you will take it. So all the meditation, sadhana that we do, definitely has some effect, that is why we do it.
