Where the Name is, there is the Form

My dears!

I know that though your bodies are far, far away, your thoughts are with Sai; that awareness and attachment are enough to keep Me near you. Thoughts have no walls or boundaries; they can reach Me, trough oceans lie between. There is no one without Me; I am with and within every one.

When only the body is near and the thoughts are far away, the situation is likes frogs leaping around a lotus flower. But, only bees come to know of the ambrosia that the lotus is ready to give; they yearn to partake of the sweetness and ever hasten towards the flower. Bangaroo! You have Swami’s grace in plenty. Where the name, there is the form.

Busy yourselves with the duties which are laid on you, in good spirit and fine health. Sai is ever by your side. He is Sarathi (the charioteer) of the vehicle of your life. The ship of life, however heavily loaded with the cargo of joys and sorrows, can certainly reach the harbour of Self—realisation, provided it is propelled by holy mental energy. Reception of the name is the dug—dug—dug of the piston; the steering wheel is Love; the anchor is faith. Continue the journey with confidence. Bangaroo! Sai is guarding you from harm and pain. You are His two eyes. Swami is always showering His compassion on you. On your part, be immersed in the duties entrusted to you. That is Swami’s work, remember. When you discharge your duties, convinced that the work is Mine, health and happiness will be added onto you.

Baba.
