Poems devoted to Sai

Poems devoted to Shri Shirdi Saibaba

Sainath 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"

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

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

'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.

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.

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

[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.
