It will be of use to you.” In this way, many books were entrusted to Shama. I have given it to you and you better keep it with you for safe custody. When Shama said that it belonged to Kaka and that it had to be returned, Baba said, “No, No. There, Baba took it from him, touched it and after flipping through a few pages, gave it back to Shama and asked him to keep it with him. Shama borrowed the book to read it and took it with him when he went to the Masjid. Kaka Mahajani came to Shirdi with a copy of the Ekanathi Bhagwat. While reading such books every day, they felt that Baba was with them. It was the habit of some devotees to bring religious books they wanted to study, to Baba and to have them consecrated by Him. In this one, we shall deal with one such method. The variety of the methods by which Baba imparted advice has already been mentioned in the previous Chapters. The Vedas cannot take you across the ocean of Maya It is only the Sadguru who can do so and make you see the Lord in all creatures. The best way therefore, to free yourself from the shackles of Maya, is complete and wholehearted surrender to Baba. When these emotions develop in you, the Guru is greatly pleased and will certainly lead you on to the goal of self-realization. If these things happen, that is a sign of the grace of the Guru dawning upon them. While listening to Your stories, let them and their families get all the sattwik emotions let their bodies perspire, let their eyes be full of tears, let their prana be steady, let their minds be composed, let their hair stand on end let them cry, sob and shake and let their hostilities and distinctions vanish.
May victory be unto Shri Sai, the wish-fulfilling tree and the ocean of knowledge who gives us self-realization Oh Sai, create in us a regard for Your stories and let the readers devour them with the same relish with which the chatak bird drinks water from the clouds and becomes happy.
Similarly, when a man takes refuge at the feet of the Sadguru, he gets the merit of bowing to the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh) and also the Para-Brahma. When a man dives into the sea, he gets the merit of bathing in all the sacred rivers. This Chapter describes how Sai Baba blessed His devotees by granting them religious books, after he had consecrated them, and a few other stories. Baba’s Blessings in the form of the Bhagwat and Vishnu-Sahasra Nama.You can also listen to the free audiobook version of this Chapter on Youtube: Chapter 27
