The
evil deeds get nullified with charity, righteousness, service, pilgrimage
to holy places and mind gets relaxed by visiting the shrines. Therefore,
let us undertake pilgrimage to Shirdi and pay respects to our Perfect
Master and God-Sai Baba. A work is conceived first in the mind.
By the very thought of journeying to Shirdi, our internal journey
to Shirdi has begun. When the objective is good, Baba will ensure
that our journey to Shirdi is cleared of all hurdles. Baba had several
times cautioned His devotees not to visit the shrine by borrowing
funds.
Our resolve to visit Shirdi implants the seed of happiness in us.
The enthusiasm for starting the journey springs up in the mind.
The heart prays with respect, saying, "Baba, You have to take
me to You". With this, our duty is over. Look! Sainath's grace
will take care of every step in our pilgrimage to Shirdi. Money
and other things would come from unexpected sources. Some more people
will get ready to accompany us. The mind always watches the glory
of Sai Nath Maharaj. The tongue keeps singing His name. The ears
would be pleased to listen to His songs of praise. But, the eyes
impatiently yearn to see the beautiful idol of Baba seated on the
throne at Samadhi Mandir in Shirdi. Why the delay now? Let us start
for Shirdi. Hail the Supreme Divine Master of all, Shri Sainath
Maharaj.
