Poems devoted to Shri Shirdi SaibabaSainath my Guru To speak and laugh makes man different from rest living Strength of muscle can conquer the world and make him king With Wit and Wisdom He could fly the skies where the stars swing And acquire the fortunes that heavens could bring And finally realize "We leave empty, we were born with nothing to bring" True Happiness lies not in taking but just giving And few divine moments we spend in name of god and the praiseful songs that we sing Like a child is selflessly blessed with mother¢s affection and caring Sainath my Guru, I seek your guidance all enlighment and divine mentoring By Sai devotee Suresh Gattu ---------------------------------------- Sai the source After one comes two, after two comes three Meditating with numbers can set our minds free It takes an effort and passion to earn the highest degree Scholars can defend their thoughts and make us agree For every act in life, brain is a companion and heart being the referee Selflessness and devotion is not bound to a place or a territory Vision is a gift to eyes, but soul seeks foresight of a visionary Think of saint Saibaba who sought a sour neem tree Only to help us find the nectar in "Shradda and Saburi" By Sai Devotee Suresh Gattu -------------------------------- Sabka Malik Ek For the happiest of all, there could be moments sad SAI Master of peace and Integrity is whom I seek whether happy or Sad It is humane to wish for worldly things what others often had Guru the 'courage and wealth of knowledge' is my only wish from what others had In confusing times, Light of truth distinguishes good from Bad Sainath shed the light of wisdom to grasp good even from the Bad In confessing thoughts, reality comes out of earthly clad Sainath is my only bonding not the earthly clad "Sab ka Malik ek hai"his only mantra can make the gloomy Glad By Suresh Gattu ------------------------------------- 3 S¢s in Success(Sadhbava,Sadhbuddi,Sadhsang) Any new thought can be classified as a prototype To say something told before is termed stereotype Devotion is a sacred emotion, a noble cause not to hype Bakthi is divine that neither gold can buy nor diamonds can swipe Just as Flute until finding the hands of right musician is a mere pipe Only a Sadguru can bring any argument to contention, raw fruit can ripe Belief in god needs no tattoo on shoulder or forehead with stripe Essence from sayings of Sainath puts an end to all the confusion and gripe Only with Sathbava, Sathbudhi and Satsang one¢s suffering would end and sins would wipe By Suresh Gattu ----------------------------------------- 'I SEEK NO FAVOUR FROM THEE, BABA' I seek no favour from Thee, Baba, But to dedicate my body and mind to thy adoration. Let my hand touch Thy Lotus-feet, Let my eyes feast on Thee, Let my ears listen to lyrics in Thy praise, Let my nose inhale the fragrance of flowers offered to Thee. Let my tongue sing songs of Thy glory, Let my hands worship Thee, Let my feet go in pilgrimage to Shirdi, Let my mind meditate on Thee. Let my mind be absorbed in Thee, Let my thoughts be concentrated on Thee, Let me have the company of Thy devotees. Let my surrender to Thee be absolute. Compiled by B.S. NARAYANAMURTHY B.A --------------------------------------------------------- Focus and Patience Truth without belief is like king without a kingdom. Belief without bonding is like suffering without pain. Bonding without selflessness is like honey without sweetness. Selflessness without helpfulness is like ship without a sea. Helpfulness without a reason is like disease without a cure. Reason without a thought is like a adage without a meaning. Thought without a devotion is like a secret without a purpose. Devotion without a Shradda is like a society without people. Shradda without a Saburi is like a body without life. By Suresh Gattu ------------------------------------------------ Why a Guru ? Earthly thoughts easily blend The context of devotions can then append Beliefs and trusts can easily ammend "Sadguru" my Master I shall never pretend I shall pray with focus that would never descend Show me the right path ,the light that would never bend Without a reason I shall seek you and depend Faith is a Road and there is no "Dead End" Every walk in my life is an instruction you SEND By Suresh Gattu [To note I have a pattern in every of this poem.All will have 9 lines and signify the 9 rules of Bakthi] --------------------------------- Guru's name In every living thought "SAI" prevails truth and his essence in a life that hails he is the captain protecting my ship that sails devotion and emotion make a path that never fails sadguru makes my choices not the "heads" or "tails" His sayings are patterns,a belief that never de-rails Karma is a destiny that never pales navavidah bakti is a route that my breath inhales my earthly desires the "Name" SAI BABA bails.
