Inform Krishtappa and others that he is fine.
You all be united and happy.
Do bhajan and wait for me to come.
I am going to call Narasamma’s mother to visit me
tomorrow or day after tomorrow. Operation will not be
performed soon. She is asked to take rest for one more
month. Now, they are giving some injections to her.
She’s strong
er here than she was in Puttaparthi. Inform
this matter.
Look after all the tasks there.
Convey my blessings to Sankar, Nagendra, Maruthi,
Chitti, Tilakamma’s children and to all.
Tell them to study well. Also, ask Patel not to roam

That’s all.
Blessings!

We have reached safely. We are leaving to
Bejawada today.
I will write a letter and let you know the address,
once we reach.
Water the plants there. Has the cow delivered?
Take care of those.
If the workers come, get the house construction
done at the earliest.
Convey blessings to everyone in the Mandir.
Inform Krishtappa and Chandra Mouli to take
care of everything in the Mandir.
We are starting now, so no time to write.
That’s all.

We are on our way to
Africa. Bombay was very
good. We are travelling at
30,000 feet and I am
writing this post card on the
plane the same as you can
see on this post card. We
are near African border and
will be reaching Nairobi in
the next one hour. The
travel is good. Tell Rama
Brahmam and every one.
Blessings to all.

Bhagavan Handwritten Letters to M.Senkara Raju

Bhagavan Sri SatyaSai Baba Prashanthi Nilayam
S.O, A.P. 20-7-1966
Senkarappa!
Take my blessings.
Here your children are in bliss and in good health. Don’t worry about them
. You do
your duty. I will take care of the children’s future. I will fulfill all their needs.
The branches of a tree which fall into the water part from each other and flow into the
ocean. People, who have family attachments, merge and detach from each other due
to past debts. They are bound together and separate through the passage of time.
Nobody is the cause for this to happen. Otherwise due to karmic reasons, someone
else will be blamed for our ignorance. This is foolishness and nothing else.
We should not look at the divinity in humanity with disgust or aversion. At this time,
divine power will take you to a pure state. What you consider real in the waking state
is not real in your dream state. The dreams you had in the night are not a reality in the
day. What is the truth? One is a night dream and the other is a day dream. Both are
dreams. Both of them have the feeling of the “I”, as in, “I am the doer”. Look for the
source of the “I”. There you will find the truth.
If you have the “I” (ego) feelin
g and identify it with your body, this is the root cause of
all your miseries and desires. When you stop giving importance to your material
desires, the ego identification will become weak and this type of misery will disappear.
This is the truth. If you
don’t fan the burning coal of your desires, they will die down.
Like this, truth will reappear from this divine human life.
Even the brightest sun cannot come out of the darkest clouds. You should be brave at
this time. This is good for you. Know everything with your discrimination; reduce your
grief and earn peace.
Do not be alone and think of what has happened. Don’t wallow in grief. Go with Rama
Brahmam Babu to the weekly classes of Bhagavad Gita. Time will heal everything. Do
not worry about your children. They are my responsibility and I will take care of them.
Swami’s grace will be with you in abundance and fill you completely.
Convey my blessings to all there.
Baba
