Sai Baba’s Quotes from Sri Sai Satcharita.

Sai Baba: "If I accept one rupee from anyone as 'dakshina', I have to return many more times of
it. I never accept anything gratis from anybody nor do I ask for 'dakshina' indiscriminately. I only
ask and take from him towards whom the 'Fakir' (God) points out. If anyone is indebted in his
previous birth to the 'Fakir", then only 'dakshina' is received from him. The donor gives and sows
the seeds to reap a rich harvest in future.

Wealth should only be used to earn 'Dharma'. If it is used for personal enjoyment, it is wasted.
Unless you have given charity before, you cannot, get it now. So, the best way to receive is to
give. The giving of'dakshina' leads to Vairagya' (non-attachment) and thereby to 'Bhakti and'
Gyan."
Sai Baba: "Why should you fear when I am there. Cast all burdens on Me, I shall bear them."

Sai Baba: "Have faith in Me. Even though I give up this body, My bones in My Samadhi will
give you hope and confidence. Not only I but My Samadhi would be speaking, moving and
communicating with those who surrender to Me whole heartedly. Do not feel disappointed that I
would be away from you. You will hear my bones speaking and discussing your welfare. If you
remember Me constantly and have faith in Me, heart and soul, you shall be greatly benefited."

Sai Baba: "Keeping your mind steady continue to do your duty fearlessly and have faith in My
words. If My 'Leela's' [deeds] are written, 'avidya' [nescience/ ignorance] will vanish and if these
are attentively and devotedly listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate,
and strong waves of devotion will arise. If one dives deep into My 'Leela's', he shall obtain
precious jewels of knowledge."

Sai Baba: "My Guru never taught Me any Mantra, how could I then blow any Mantra in your
ears? Just remember that Guru's tortoise like loving glance gives us happiness. Do not, therefore,
try to get Mantra or sermon [Updesh] from anybody. Make Me the sole object of your thoughts
and actions and you will, no doubt attain 'Parmartha'- the spiritual goal of life. Look at Me
whole-heartedly and I, in turn, will look at you similarly."

Sai Baba: "Give [Charity] with faith and magnanimity [liberally]; give with modesty, sympathy
and respectfully.”

Sai Baba: "He who loves me most, always experiences my presence. The whole world is
desolate to him without Me"

Sai Baba: "If you spread your palms with devotion before Me, I shall immediately be with you
at any time of the day and night. Though I am here physically yet I know all that happens beyond
the seven seas. Seated in your heart, I am in fact your Inner Self. Always worship Him alone
who is seated in your heart as well as in the hearts of all beings. Blessed and fortunate indeed is
he, who is aware of My omnipresent and omniscient form."
