Thought for the day

The expansion of devotion is wisdom

From the book miracle Maya Sai Bond 007

PROLOGUE

Miracle Maya was first published in 2004. In 2007, Swamiasked me towrite

another bookon the same topic. I finished writingthe book,butwedid not publish it. As

Swami has now asked us to release eBooks, we will release Miracle Maya Part 2 'Sai

Bond 007', in serial form one chapter a week. We will send the latest chapter and also

post it on our website weekly (http://mukthinilayam.org).

13 April 2013 Meditation

Swami:It is only the one who opens their 7 chakras through sadhana, who can say

that Swami is speaking to them. This isSai Bond. Many say that their

seven chakras have opened, yet, you alone have proved this through your

kundalini coming outside as the Stupi. The nadis also reveal the same.

Yet, you are afraid. Though I always speak with you, you question

whether it is real. Others however speak without fear. This is not real.

Vasantha:Iunderstand Swami, I will write.

End of meditation

Now let us see about this. The reason why we have used the strange name of 'Sai

Bond 007' for the book is explained in the second chapter ‘Siddhi Wars’. There I write

about the spy James Bond.

There are some who visit a miracle house regularly. One from the group then

visits another miracle house. He is then followed by one of the group from the first

house. This man then reports back all that he has seen, like a spy. ‘Swami’ then writes a

message to theman,who first went to the second house and asks,

...Why did yougo to that house?If you go there,you will be in great danger

and suffer from aterribleillness!

This incidentabout two miracle houses was actually described to me when I

visited a particular city by some devotees there. When we spoke about it we laughed. It

was then the title was given to this book.

1

Swami is not a spy.He binds us with His love. Thus, we gave the title ‘Sai Bond

007’.The first0indicates thejeeva and the second0isfor Shiva, both become

Poornam. They crossthe 7 chakras and unite.It is only when a person performs sadhana

and his7chakras open can we say he is pure.Only then can he declare that Swami

speaks with him. However, those sages and saints who attain this state merge in God.

Some may remain in the world and preach to the common people.

I performed sadhana throughout my life and my 7 chakras opened. Swami has

proved this through the Stupi coming outside. Some may say their chakras have opened.

It is Swamiwho told me and I proved it through the Stupi. Not only this, but my and

Swami’s nadis declare the truth of who we are and what our relationship is. Though this

is so, I am still afraid. Whatever Swami tells me, I ask for proofs to confirm that it is

really He who is speaking with me. It is only then I write as books. This isSai Bond.It is

the bond between Swami and I. I am His Shakthi. It is Swami who asked me to write this

in the prologue of the book.

Miracles are happening in many places in the nameof Swami. Peopletheresay,

‘Swami is speaking, Swami is writing’. Crowds of people go in search of such places. Yet,

it only givesmomentaryhappiness. If your mind becomes immersed in such things,you

cannot acquire wisdom. How longwill you goinsearchof these miracle houses? You

must analyzeand find out the truth! No blemish should come to Swami's name! One

must be very careful of those who say Swami is speaking through them.

I too went in search of miracle houses. Swamithenasked me to analyzeanduse

my discrimination. It is only then I came to know the truth. Now, I am only writing that

which I have experiencedmyself.As these ‘miracles’ are happening throughout the

world, in thousands of houses, the general publicmustbeverycareful. Find outwhat is

real.

I writethis,as I knowthe truth about these places. It is only the minds of those in

the miraclehouse, whichis speaking to them. Thus, we must first discovertheir level of

purity. The sages and saints donot speak in this way. They preach and give advice on

spiritual subjects.

All mustcontemplate deeply and gain clarity. Come out of the world of maya and

try to realizethe truth.Due to the great suffering experienced in worldly life, people go

to the cinema and dramas to relax.In thesame way, people involved in spiritual lifego

to miracle houses to forget theirdifficulties for a whileandthen return home. You must

attain truth. You must attain God. Wisdom alone will help youin this endeavor. Goin

search of wisdom. Practice what Swamihas preached.

Chapter 1

Don't Copy Swami

6 April 2013 Evening meditation

Vasantha:Swami will I really be with You for ten days?

Swami:Sure, we will be together for tendays.

Vasantha:WillYou speak with all?

Swami:One day I will call only our family members.Another day,I willcall the

ashramites and tell them how to behave,I willadvise them. We will then

all be together andtalk.Believethis. All is truth.

Vasantha:Swami,beforeYou said for three days, nowYou say ten days?

Swami:I am slowly revealingall.

End ofmeditation

Now let us see.First,Swamisaidwe would be togetherwith Himforthree days.

NowasI am cryingmore,Hehas increased ittoten days.A few days ago,Swamigave

an angel key chain with the words‘TruthandLove’onit.Thismade meafraid.

Whatever Swami tellsme, I ask for many proofs;only then do I write.I have been like

this sincemy first book.Iamalwayscarefulthat my mind should not mixwith what

Swami has toldme in meditation. This ismy fear.

7 April 2013

Thisevening somethingunusualhappened. There is awomanin whom Swami

enters and speaks through.Today shecameto the ashram with some people. She

suddenly began to walk very slowly. Those accompanying her took padanamaskar.She

then came before me and asked for a bhajan book. Nicola gave it to her. She then asked

for my pen. Nicola also gave that. She then opened the book andwrote'With Lo"in big

letters on the first page.As she was writing,thepen stopped working. Shethenthrew

the pendown, splattering ink on the table. She then walked a short distance, came back

andcalled all to take padanamaskar, her hands raised in blessing. She then indicatedthe

4

ashramites to take padanamaskar. All were afraid.‘Swami’then left and shereturnedto

anormalstate.

Evening meditation

Vasantha:Swami,what is all this? Why did they come here? I am afraid.

Swami:Do not be afraid.Nothing will happen to you.

Vasantha:Swami,please come soon.You canthen save thosecaught in 'miracle

maya'.

Swami:SureI will come. Do not cry.

Vasantha:Swami this must not happen to me. None should fall at my feet. I am the

dust ofYour feet.None shouldgiveimportance to me.I amYour

responsibility. I am afraid. AreYoureally speaking with me?

Swami:I alone am speaking with you. Why doubt?World Liberation is being

given through your humility.

End of meditation

I am very much afraid of these miracle people. Some years ago, Itoosearched for

and ran to miracle houses. Swami then asked me to write the book'MiracleMaya'. It

was then I became afraid. Why do peopleuse Swami’snamein this way?In past ages,

did anyone say‘Rama spoke with me, Krishna spoke with me?’In thisAge ofKali,this

greatest Avatar's nameis used by someto collect name, fame and crowd. This greatest

Avatar came heredue toHis compassion. Avatars do notusuallydescend intheKali

Yuga.Yet, thisgreatest compassion came here to redeem us.

InHis book 'Vidya Vahini', Swami saysnot to follow the culturesof other

countries.Do not copy others. If a donkey is covered with tiger skin, it cannot be called a

tiger.Why are you trying to copy Swami like this? Is it enough if you walk like Swami,

give padanamaskar and bless all? Do you then becomeHim?

The womanwanted to sign like Swami.Yet, while she was writing,the pen

suddenly stopped working. She immediately threw the book and pendown. Would

Swami be angry like this? If it werereallySwami, the ink would have flowed

automatically. The penwould write.Swami could even write with an ordinary stick!

Why this drama? Has anyone seen Swami get angry and throwthings?

People do not realizethis truth and are trapped in anet. Swami is God, the

greatest Avatar. He is not an ordinary Avatar. Do not copy Him.This is the greatest sin,

for which there is no redemption.

Apersonmay say hedoes not know that Swami has enteredhim and thatheonly

knows whathappenedafter returning to his normal conscious state. It is then others tell

him'youwentthere,youdid thisand that'.

One should immediately pray,'Swami,I think I behaved in an angryway,this is

because I am impure.Ishould not spoil Your name.'Pray and crythat these things

should not happen.Otherwise, do not leave your house.

What penance have you done for Swami to enter yourbody?Have you purified

yourself?Swami is Truth,fire.Do not play withfire.When I saw what happened in the

ashramI became very afraid.Swami showed me that I was Lakshmi, Saraswathi,

Gayatri.He told me who I was.Both Swami’sand my nadi tell whoI am. They describe

the relationship betweenus.Still,I am afraid. I want only to be the dust of Swami’s feet.

Even thoughI have written over120books,I amstill afraid.

None should worship me.AsI seeall asGod,I say thatnoone should bow

to me.‘I am not’. I want to hideunder Swami’s feet. I am the dust ofHisfeet.

Oh Mahaprabhu, I am not Your Shakthi.I am not eligible. Ido not have the

purity to equal You. Mypenance is not enough. You are the greatestGod. Accept

me as the dust of Your feet. Thisis enough for me.

After the groupleft, Amar took the pen to fill it with ink. When he opened the

pen, he sawthe cartridge was full.All of us were wonderstruck.Why then did the pen

not write? Why could she not write more than 'With lo'? Why did the pen not allow her

to finish the word‘love’and sign'Baba'?It is because it was not the real Swami.

Here in Mukthi Nilayam,there are only divine feelings. Others feelings cannot

mix in here. Our divinefeelingsemerge from the Garbha Kottam andgot through the

Stupito change the world. This penwouldnot allow her to forge Swami’s signature.

Swamionce wrote a song for me.There He saysI am not writing with an ordinary pen,

but the Stupi pen, which only writesHis and my feelings.

The woman took my pen and tried to sign like Swami.However,she was not able

to do so. She then threw it on the table. Whatever happens in otherplaces,let it happen.

Yet,this took place in front of our eyes on this holy land. It is for this reason I am

writing.Please do not come here if you want toperformmiracles.This place isfor

Swami’s Avataric task;itchanges the Kali Age into the Sathya Yuga.

I pray to Swamithat even Krishna and Prema Sai should not appearbefore me,

not only in physical form, but also in meditation. Iam praying daily to Swamithat only

BhagavanSathyaSaishouldcomehere, no one other than Him.How then am Ito

accept this Swami?Please leave me alone.Peoplelike thisshould not come here. Do not

come here and exhibit your powers. As I am born on this earth anew, I am afraid to see

all. I am even afraid to see ordinary people.It is for this reasonSwami keeps me here in

Mukthi Nilayam,alonein my room. I only see the ashramitesthree timesa day.

Why has all this happened before my eyes?

Great saints like Sri Ramakrishna and RamanaMaharshilived here.Sri

Ramakrishnaalways hadvisions of Mother Kali. Yet, He did not say thatMotherKali

entered his body and spokethroughhim.Both Sri Ramakrishna and RamanaMaharshi

were able to preach to the people due to the purity of their lives.They

renounced alland livedexemplary lives. None of this was achieved

throughmagic.They did not wander from place to place.Ramana

Maharishinever went anywhere;he only stayed at Arunachala.Both

He and Ramakrishnapreached to the people.

Many foreigners came to RamanaMaharshi.He told them that

during sadhana many siddhis would come, but not to be deluded by

them. For thisreason,ordinarypeopleshouldkeepaway from these

siddhi powers.For believers in God,Wisdomalone is important.All

should awaken frommaya,illusion.Realsaints and sages only preach

wisdom. Theynever perform siddhis. People must realize this.They

must follow theirexample and transform themselves.Otherwise, you

will be born and die again and again.At the time of writing this,

Swami gave three pictures of RamanaMaharshi.

8 April 2013 Evening meditation

Vasantha:Swami,shall I write about miracles?This must not happen to me. No one

should bow before me. I must be the dust underYour feet.

Swami:Who would speak in this way? Who can be like you?This humility

becomes world liberation.

End of meditation

Swami once said in a discourse,

“I do not needa mediator. I do not have the necessity to enterthe body of

another and talk through them.”

So the common peoplemustbecareful.Do not become caught in their

trap.Miracles may take place due to the yogic powers some maypossess.

Controlling the mind is yoga. Turn yourmind towards God. Do not go after

miracles. Do notbe deluded.

Today Swami gave a picture.

It shows the sun blazing in the blue

sky with ten rays emerging from it.

Inside the sun was my face.

Swami gavea similar picture

before. In that picture, the formof

Garudais seen along with14 pairs of

eyes.I have written in a previous

chapter how Swamidescendsfrom

Heaven to earth riding on Garuda.

Swami'sform isseen intherays of

the sun.Swami’s form is also seen

in the suns ray’sinmy picture.

When I askedSwami, Hesaid,“You

are showing thewisdomof God

from the Vedas and Upanishads.

These are truths not known by any."

Thisis the proof for what I have

written about in this chapter. God

can only be attained through

wisdom and nothing else.

In the April 2013 issue of Sanathana Sarathi Swami said,

"You think Maya is harmful to you, but in fact, Maya does not harm

anyone. People criticize Maya saying it holds them tightly in its grip and

troubles them. But how can Maya catch anyone? It has no hands and legs.

You have hands and legs. Therefore, you have caught Maya, but Maya has

not caught you."

‘O foolish man, chant the name of Saieswara

again and again. At your last breath, nobody will

come to your rescue. In this ocean of worldly life,

always follow the principles of Sathya, Dharma and

Shanthi. Always singthe glory of Sai, His word will

show you the right direction. You are repeatedly

born and dying. This compassionate Lord Sai alone

can save you from this world full of difficulties. He

incarnates again and again for the welfare of the

world. You should notworry if He is lying in

Samadhi. He is the Poorna Avatar always reclining

on the Adisesha. So you daily sing His glory, this

alone will redeem you.
