RIGHT OF LIVING IS FOR ALL
Human beings are involved in reaping the rich harvests of worldly pleasures,
ignoring the basic truths that death is inevitable, despite differences in their
natural instincts, habits and ways of living, there lies an underlying unity of
purpose among man and other creatures to live and enjoy unmindful of the
dangers and disappointments. Destruction of life is an unpardonable crime
according to the Cosmic Law. All should share the right of un-interrupted living.
The first principle of life is to protect the weak. Killing even under unavoidable
circumstances is considered sinful. Man is endowed with the power lo

compassion towards the less fortunate fellowmen and the creatures of the sub

human world. The soul undergoes transmigration in accordance with the Karma.
It should evolve from its primitive stage and reach the highest state of
emancipation—The Mokhsha—Release from the cycle of birth and death. It has
been laid down that one should avoid violence as far as possible and seek
forgiveness for the injury caused to others. It is the passage of time that sooths
man's sorrows. During dawn everyday, after prayer and meditation, everyone
should make a self introspection as to the goal of life and how far he has
progressed and what remains to be done. Dawn is the most appropriate time to
chant the hymns and learn the scriptures by heart. All religions are agreed on this.

discipline for the realisation of God'.
Yes, the way to realize God is through discrimination, renunciation.

SAIence QUIZ and SAIVATION
In June '86, Calcutta Doordarshan telecast a programme in its "Science Quiz
Programme".
Two 'beakers containing an Ice Cube in each were placed on the table. Warm
water was poured into both the beakers. While the Ice Cube in one of the
beakers was pressed down by a stick to remain at the bottom of the beaker, the
Ice Cube in the other beaker was allowed to float. Interestingly enough, the
freafloating Ice Cube melted quickly and the pressed-down Ice Cube stayed
intact for long.
The whole universe can be compared to the beaker and the warm bliss of the
Creator to the warm water. The 'ego' is to be compared to the Ice Cube. As long
as the EGO batic self is pressed down by the "Shadripu" ("Kama", "Krodha",
Sai Prema – August 1986
www.saileelas.org
"Moha", "Lobha", "Mada" and "Matsarya"), one stays at the bottom frozen and
hardly aware of the warmth surrounding him. On removal of the "Shadripu", the
EGObatic self floats to the surface. The warm bliss penetrates and melts the
EGO enabling it to become one with it.
"FAITH" and "PATIENCE" with the ceaseless mental chanting of "SAInaam" will
help one to attain SAIvation.
Let our Heavenly Father Shirdi SAI BABA bestow His blessings on us to be
constantly aware of this significance to attain HIM.

SAI'S GRACE
During a trip to South India we had brought a couple of Shirdi Sai Baba's key
chains and photos. We had become so fond of them that we would look at them
at least twice a day. It so happened during our trip that our mother Mrs.
Premamurti gifted the Sai key chains to our relatives wishing them Sai Luck and
a bright future. The Sai key chains not only brought them luck but also great faith
in Shirdi Sai Baba.
Though myself and my sister appreciated this gesture of our mother still we were
disappointed as we could not see Baba's loving face in the key chains any more.
When we returnned to Calcutta on 20th February 1986 Baba had a pleasant
surprise in store for us. We were simply delighted to see Sai Baba's photos at
every corner of our house. Sai Maharaj in exactly the same posture wearing the
same kafni as in the key chains which my mother had gifted which we simply
adored was was there in our house. This one was bought by my brother during
his trip to Shirdi in our absence. On asking my brother about the numerous Sai
photos pasted at every comer of our house, he said that some unknown Sai
devotee had sent to us by post about twenty five photos of Sai Maharaj.
