SRI SAI SATCHARITA - SELECTED VERSES FROM CHAPTERS 38- 40 SAI SATCHARITA . CH-38( IMPORTANCE OF ANNA DANA AND CHARITY) Different sadhanas (means of accomplishments) are prescribed in our scriptures for different ages. Tapa (Penance) is recommended for Krita age, Jnana (Knowledge) for Treta age, Yajna (Sacrifice) for Dwapara age and Dana (Charity) for Kali (present) age The Taittiriya Upanishad says that Food is Brahma; from food all the creatures are born and having been born, by food they live, and having departed, into food again they enter. Anna-dana is the best of all merits SAI SATCHARITA . CH-39 (SURRENDER TO GURU) We must make Sarvaswa Sharangati (complete surrender) to the Sad-guru. One must feel that he is not the master of the body, that the body is Gurus and exists merely to render service to him If we have to realise the Adwaita state, the feeling of Dwaita in ourselves has to be removed. That is the realization of the Adwaita state. The Sad-guru is Nirguna, Sat-Chit-Ananda. He has indeed taken human form to elevate mankind and raise the world. But his real Nirguna nature is not destroyed thereby, even a bit. His beingness (or reality), divine power and widsom remain undiminished. Surrender must be of body, mind and wealth; SAI SATCHARITA . CH-40 I always think of him who remembers Me. I require no conveyance, carriage, tanga, nor train nor aeroplane. I run and manifest myself to him who lovingly calls me. See, to keep My words I would sacrifice my life, I would never be untrue to My words.
