Rules:

1. No Fasting - Sai baba never encouraged Fasting but opposed it as written in the Sai Satcharitra.
2. Read this only after eating something.
3. Have complete faith that baba will listen to your prayers and fulfill your wish, do not let negative thoughts overcome your faith.
4. Even if it is taking time, have patience and believe that baba will fulfill your wish at the right time.
5. Completely surrender yourself to baba.
6. Do not prescribe your own rules when you pass this on to your friends and relatives- remember baba likes his followers to pray to him however they wish and doesn't like others to interfere.

How to:

1. Start on a Thursday after eating and commit as per your wish to do this every Thursday for 5, 7, 9 or 11 weeks or until your wish fulfilled.
2. Start the book with Ganesh strotram.
3. Read all of baba's quotes.
4. There are lot of slokams and some stories and experiences at the end just for reference, not mandatory to read every week. Main idea of this book is to fit this in today's busy lifestyle.

​

1. Whoever utters my name with love, I shall fulfill all their wishes, increase their devotion. Protect them from all directions. Listening to my stories alone is enough to protect you from all diseases so listen to my stories with concentration and devotion. Fill your heart with those stories. This is the path to happiness and contentment. My devotees’ ego and pride shall vanish. People who listen to these stories shall feel peaceful. Just by keeping my name "Sai" in your mind and heart you shall be pardoned from sins of listening to unpleasant things and doing misdeeds.
2. I perceive my devotees' problems as my own. Food and clothes will never be deficient in my devotees' house. I will take care of the wellbeing of those who focus their attention completely on me and worship me with complete devotion and concentration. Leave behind your tussle for name and fame in the world and instead strive to find grace in God's chamber; and to please God and earn his mercy.
3. First give food to the hungry and then eat yourself. Dogs, cats, pigs, mosquitoes, cows etc are all a part of me. I am the one who is roaming in their forms. He, who sees Me in all these creatures is My beloved.
4. I always desire your wellbeing. I am your servant who is always with you and responds whenever you call upon me. The only thing I always wish for is your love.
5. If you always meditate on my name saying "Sai, Sai" I will help you cross all seven oceans (i.e., guide you to overcome all kinds of difficulties); believe in these words and you will certainly be benefitted. I do not need any paraphernalia of worship - either eight-fold or sixteen-fold. I reside where there is devotion.
6. Cast off your anxiety, your sufferings have come to an end. However miserable and troubled one may be, as soon as he steps into the Masjid, his misery shall vanish and the path toward happiness shall open. The Fakir here is very kind and He will cure their disease and protect all with love and kindness.
7. If you summon me with devotion, I will immediately be with you. My abode is in your heart.
8. For a greedy man there is no peace, neither contentment, nor certainty (steadiness). If there be even a little trace of greed in mind, all the Sadhanas (spiritual endeavors) are of no avail. Purification of mind is absolutely necessary. My treasury is full, and I can give anyone what they want but before that I must test whether they are qualified to receive what I give. If you listen to this carefully, you will certainly benefit.
9. God will certainly be pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and resting. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, you do not have to give, but do not bark at him like a dog. Let people speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent them by giving any bitter reply. If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. God's method of work is extraordinary, invaluable, and inscrutable. His Will will be done, and He will show us the way, and fulfil our heart's desires. It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come together, let us love and serve each other and be happy.
10. God shall definitely protect those that have faith and patience.
11. Whoever trusts me and is engrossed in meditating on my name; I shall make sure everything they do runs smoothly.
12. Remember that you should suffer the consequences of your sins in your previous life and redeem yourself from those sins. Your happiness and miseries are the result of your karma; Bare the results. God is the sole Dispenser and Protector, always meditate on him. He will take care of you. Surrender your body, mind, wealth and speech and everything at his feet, i.e., take refuge in him completely and then see what He does.
13. If I take a rupee Dakshina from anyone I must give them ten times more. I do not take it without a reason. I accept Dakshina only from people that are indebted to Fakhir since their previous birth. Unless you have given money in previous birth, you do not get it now. So, the best way to receive is to give. The giving of Dakshina advances Vairagya (Non-Attachment) and thereby gives devotion and wisdom. By giving one rupee you can gain ten rupees.
14. Those who love me abundantly will always see me. For them the world is empty without me. They talk only about my stories. They are constantly in my meditation and always chant my name. I am indebted to those who take my refuge and meditate on me. I repay their debt by providing Moksha. I am dependent on those who always think about me, are in my diksha, and do not eat anything without offering to me first. Whoever approaches my surroundings (sannidhan) shall unite with me like how rivers merge with sea. So even without a trace of pride and ego, completely surrender yourself to Me, who lives in your heart.
15. I am troubled when people abuse or insult others. I am pleased with those who are patient and tolerate all the difficulties. Good or Bad, whatever is ours will remain with us and whatever is others’ will stay with them.
16. Keep your faith in me, your desires shall be fulfilled.
