In plain words
Being born is a worry, living on the earth is a worry, family life is a worry, death is a worry, all of childhood is a worry, old age is a worry, living is a worry, ruin is a worry, all actions are a worry, hardships are a worry, joy is a worry: a strange worry!
For man, bound up with so many worries, how is it possible to be rid of worries? All these worries arise from the mind itself. So if you can make the mind a slave, these worries will have no room at all. Tyāgarāja too said that once the mind is under control there is no need of other mantras and tantras.
“The Prema of Sai, which removes all worries: take it now at least, O people, with Prema!”
By this alone all worries are remedied. So strive to win Sai's Prema. Through Prema for God you can achieve anything. Not only people of Bhārata; among foreigners too there are those who achieved many great deeds through Prema for God. There are so many who bowed to a mother's command and gained Ānanda. Regard the mother, father and teacher who stand before your very eyes as embodiments of God. “Mātṛdevo bhava, pitṛdevo bhava, ācāryadevo bhava.” First of all love the mother. One who loves the mother naturally loves the father. A person who loves mother and father loves the teacher. First of all have faith in yourselves. One who cannot trust oneself cannot trust even one's mother. Faith in yourself, faith in God is the secret of greatness.
Embodiments of Prema! There are some more programmes this evening as well. It is already late. I feel you need some rest. After all, there is such a thing as the stomach, isn't there!
