I call YOU…!
Please come and hold my hand
As I walk this rocky road
My feet are stumbling as I carry
This unbearable load…
Eyes are welling up with tears
My breath feels heavy and rugged
Mind is full of doubts and fears
My state of mind is worried…
Heart feels weak and I don’t know
How will I fare this test
YOUR name I chant along
As I tread, forgetting all the rest…
Just YOU my Baba, my saviour, my guide
Can help me along this way
Please calm my unsettled mind
And hold me strong, for I sway…
I know YOU are there for sure
I know YOU won’t let me fall
Come, hold me in YOUR strong embrace
And make me strong and tall…
With YOU along I can brave the fears
With YOU I can pass this test
In YOUR light I can defeat this gloom
And put my anxiety to rest…
Waiting for YOUR light to shine
For YOUR strength to give me peace
Please come and hold me my SAI
I call YOU with every inch of me and piece!

BABA – never enough of YOU…!
I look at YOU to my heart’s content
But still, it’s never enough
I chant YOUR name night and day
Whether the going is smooth or rough…
I quench my thirst with YOUR pious name
But still, it never goes
Endlessly I have YOUR sight
It truly ends my woes…
I see YOU here, and I see YOU there
But still, I’m never satisfied
I search for YOU everywhere
In this world so big and wide…
I know YOU are the wirepuller
And nothing is there which YOU can’t do
But every time I see YOUR magic
I wonder how it can be true…
I know YOU me love very much
But every day I want more than before
Please never cease amazing me
For I crave for more and more…
-
YOU… me…!
YOU have magical ways
However gloomy the days
YOU bless me somehow
Through cracks, YOUR light YOU allow…
Mysteriously and without a sound
Sometimes like a thought profound
Quietly amongst my lows
An encouraging idea YOU throw…
Enigmatically smiling as YOU do
A new path YOU bring to my view
Lifting me from the misery
YOU save me from possible injury…
Enwrapping me in YOUR gracious care
YOU caution me when I am unaware
At times when I cry helplessly
YOU stroke my head most tenderly…
In times of fear YOU hold my hand
In the toughest situations, YOU send a plan
In inertia, YOU become my energy
YOU reassure me to calm my anxiety….
So thankful that YOU are in my life
For YOUR grace I am alive
Just gratitude flows seamlessly
Please keep loving me endlessly…!

Love YOU Baba…! ❤️
In moments bright or the darkest nights
In turbulent storms or the calmest sights
When my boat is rocking in crazy seas
When fearful thoughts make my heart go weak
In times of joy or those tearful nights
In the loudest applause or the loneliest sighs
When no one around seems to care a bit
When my stressed mind makes me go in a fitIf I just only look at YOU
I feel love, as pure as dewYOU bring me peace
YOU bring me hope
YOU make me smile
YOU make me copeYOU are my anchor
YOU are my mentor
YOU are my SUN
YOU are my everyone!Love YOU Baba! ❤️

Just You & Me Baba…!
Picture courtesy : SaiBaba Doodles Just You & me Baba
What more do I need
Talking to You and learning truths
With You my joy is guaranteed!
Just You & me Baba
What more do I crave
Mesmerised by Your soothing voice
Can I ever say thanks for all that You gave?
Just You & me Baba
What more do I want
Gazing into Your loving eyes
I forget all my fears, nothing haunts!
Just You & me Baba
Where else can I sleep
On your lap when I place my head
The peace is felt right deep!
Just You & me Baba
No other is there to care
I’ve been pained by all
The love You give is rare!
Together with You Baba
Close to You I wish I stay
Into You I want to merge
Your word I want to obey!
Forever with You Baba
Like Your Sunshine ray
Holding Your hand I want to walk
Miles and miles away…!
-
Towards YOU…!
I see this creeper inching towards You everyday
I wonder what it is wanting to say
Gradually, it grows in length
Enhancing itself and gaining strength
Curiously, I wait to see
When will it finally touch Your feet
It is headed for the most pious joy
Its victory, I will heartily enjoy!
-
YOU, only You…!
You’re the only light in my life
All else is bleak
You’re the only peace in me
Nothing else I seek
You’re my heart’s calling
All else is noise
You’re the one I want to be with
Who else stands a choice
You’re the one I want with me
No one else is true
You’re my only friend Baba
None as You, old or new
You’re the only rainbow I see
All else is sheer gloom
Your smile lifts my spirits
Everything else is doomed
How do I tell thee Baba
What all You mean to me
Without You I am meaningless
No point being, if YOU I don’t see…!
-
YOU & YOUR light…!
YOU are the SUN and I, Your sunshine
Like a vine, to YOU I entwine
Without YOU there can never be a me
Without YOU, I have no identity
YOU are my boulder, to YOU I owe my strength
YOU are my saviour; I know for me YOU’ll go any length
YOU are my guide, YOUR teachings I try to imbibe
YOU are my God, YOUR feet are my shrine
YOU always love, YOUR caress is not seen but felt
YOUR love is the purest, YOU make the toughest heart melt
YOU are MY SAI, YOUR name I chant day and night
YOU are MY BABA, I live by YOUR face, YOUR name and YOUR light…!
-
I know that YOU know…!
I know that YOU know what’s the best for me
Just give me the strength to wait and see
And while I wait for YOU to work it out
May I show patience and don’t fret about
While I wait for YOUR magic to realise
May my trust at YOUR feet get energised
I know that YOU know what will bring me joy
And while I wait, let me enjoy
Grow my faith, let not me wail
Toughen me to face the gales
Embolden me, let me not sigh
I know eventually YOU will fly me high!
-
Always, YOU…!
This year, that year, every year
With You always, absolutely near
Holding Your hand as I walk on
Chanting Your name, humming Your songNo one can understand what You do for me
Your loving grace, hope everyone can see
Make me worthy of being Your tool
To spread Your grace, Your loving rulesTeach me Sai to live by You
To see Your self in every view
In each of my life’s rendezvous
May I choose You, just always YOU!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My Journey…!
YOU said, love will win love
Then why did I get shoved
YOU said, care will get care
Then why didn’t I get my share
YOU said, loyalty will get returned
Why then was I shunned
YOU said, pure heart can win anyone
Why then was I left stunned
YOU said honesty won’t be treated as dirt
Still, every time, it ends in hurt
You said, the path of justice will be rough
However, not that it will be so, excessively tough!
I do feel lonely on this path of righteousness
Feel tired and an accompanying loneliness
The only hope which keeps me going
Is that You’re walking with me, my boat You’re rowing
I might not see You, but You’re holding my hand
I know that someday, my journey I’ll understand…

Reverence…!

When to push me ahead or pull me back
You always know how to help me
To keep or steer me on the correct track
You never show that it’s Your work
But the love in it spills the beans
Who else, but You, my loving Sai
Is behind these magically caring schemes!Just like that You come to help
Just like that You bring back my smile
Just like that You change the scene
In Your super loving and mysterious style
My guiding star, my lighthouse You are
Baba You have not a part, but my heart in whole
Never forsake me or leave my hand
Just fill me with You – body, mind and soul! -
SAI & I…!
One look at YOU and my heart finds it’s peace
One glance from YOU and my heart finds it’s bliss
There is magic in YOUR look my Sai
No one loves me like YOU do
In YOUR embrace my Sai
I found the joy which I never knew
YOU make me feel confident Sai
With YOU I believe that I can
YOU make me smile my Sai
I feel proud to be of YOUR clan
YOU make me feel truly loved
I feel blessed to be a part of YOUR plan
YOU teach me patience and grow my faith
YOU teach me how to endure even in pain
YOU never fail to help, support and relieve
YOU show YOUR magic and always make me believe
I want YOUR signs and messages always
I want to live my life following YOUR ways
Just continue loving me and holding my hand
YOUR word my Sai, is, and will always be my command! -
Channeling YOUR love…!
YOUR sunshine is ready to obey
Clasping YOUR hand really tight
Being careful not to go astray
YOUR word is my guide on this climb…I fear getting hurt again
But love is what YOU wanted me to spread
Hence I am trying to face the odds again
Chanting YOUR name as I tread…Keep me in YOUR tight embrace
YOU know how I get scared
When I fail to see YOUR loving face
My anxieties get flared…Keeping my faith in YOU intact
As I start to journey the perilous road
Save me from the pain and tears
As I try to channel the love which YOU’ve bestowed… -
Divine Message…!
“How do I talk to YOU my God?
Do I visit your famous shrine, or bring YOU flowers special
Do I donate to YOUR shrine’s treasury, or earn some credentials
Do I call a big crowd, and sing YOUR praises to them
Do I travel to the places, which my religion says are YOUR realm
Do I make a temple in YOUR name, and have YOU all glittered in gold
Do I offer YOU jewels, and get YOU the most dazzling throne
Do I have to sit alone – eyes closed is it my Lord?
Do I follow the rituals as mentioned in our holy records
Will YOU understand through these actions, that I really love YOU so much
Will ever someone else pray to YOU with love such!“
Just while I thought, I had understood it all,
A roaring laughter I heard – it had me enthralled
“No need for any paraphernalia, no gold or flowers I want
No crowds or throne with jewels, all this is so wrong
A heart full of love, eyes with tears of joy
Hands folded? Oh it doesn’t matter, if sitting with me you enjoy
Whether you come in the morning or later in the day
Just make sure my child, you come with love, not fear!
Whether for a quick hello, or for hours you sit with me
Don’t come if someone makes you, just at your wish you be
And do you know my child, what will have me more impressed?
If you offer your helping hand to that someone in distress
Bring a smile on someone’s face and then you’ll see my child
How madly, deeply, crazily I’ll love you and make you mine”
“So go to the shrine if you want, do all that they say too
But only if you want it, not ‘coz they say ‘I told you to’!
I live in your heart, I also live in the other’s
So if you want to please me, don’t be for anyone a bother
Love and live my child, for love is the greatest of all
Only those who cause a pain, have misery on them befall“
With tears flowing endlessly, I listen to every word
“I will do as YOU say my Baba, what a beautiful message I’ve got
Whenever I want to meet YOU, I will try to look within
Your beautiful message my Baba, has left me with the biggest grin”!
-
All YOU…!
Love YOU Baba! ♥️🙏🏻
I talk to YOU night and day
YOUR comforting look paves my way
I get courage when I look at YOU
YOUR mesmerising smile comes to my rescue
Sometimes when I look at YOU
I smile, share & shed tears too
I let my heart out so clearly bare
Not a sentiment which I don’t share
Sometimes not a word is said
Yet YOU show me the way I need to tread
I think how much I’ll love to be
In YOUR embrace - and for me to see
YOUR charming face and enigmatic self
Will be a treat to behold in itself!
Keep guiding me, for I know none
Keep smiling at me, for there is no one
Keep loving me, like YOU always do
Keep holding me, like a mother true
I am, for YOU are looking at me
I walk, for YOU are holding me
I talk, for YOU are blessing me
I see, what YOU are showing me
Everyday this love grows
My craziness sees a new fold
No one, nothing and nowhere but YOU
My power, my father, my friend - all YOU! -
Love YOU Baba ❤️
I see YOU in the sunshine
I see YOU in the rain
YOU’re with me in my laughter
And with me in my pain
I’m a part of YOU for ever
Free, yet tied to YOU in chain!
I see YOU in my morningI see YOU when the day’s done
YOU’re there when the wind blows
And even when there’s none
I’m mesmerised by YOUR smile
Of my life YOU’re the shining sun!
YOU hold my hand tightly
Yet urge me to tread
YOU lead the path always
Like YOU had kindly said
YOU find a way to reach me
Whenever I get misled!
I find peace at YOUR feetAnd solace in YOUR presence
I look at YOU for everything
Want to soak in YOUR essence
Baba, YOUR being there with me –
Makes even this look like heaven!
