Sai Baba Guidance for Weight Loss, Driving and Job

Question from Kanaka Durka from Auckland, New Zealand

“Baba I wanted to achieve so many things in life, but my laziness and sluggishness is holding me back. I’m not able to come out of my comfort zone at all. My husband has so much of financial issues for which he is working hard to get over it. I want to help him to come out of everything and make him to live with peace of mind. Please show me a way for it. And 3 important things I should achieve

1. Weight loss
2. Car driving
3. Job

Give me enough confidence to excel in car driving because it’s mandatory to learn here. It will be easy for me if I drive car on my own. Please take out my fear. And for weight loss please make me to be consistent and active. Thank you Baba.”

Answer from our Sai Baba

Arre Kanaka Durka beti, come… sit near the dhuni. Utha (Wake up), my child.

You say “Laziness” is holding you back?

Listen closely. Laziness is not your nature; it is just a heavy coat you are wearing.

You are wearing this coat of Tamas (sluggishness) because you are afraid. You stay in the “comfort zone” because outside feels scary. But tell Me, beti, does a ship stay in the harbor? It is safe there, but that is not what ships are built for!

Your husband is working hard, sweating for the family. You see his struggle, and your heart wants to help. That desire is your Shakti (Power). Now, you must turn that Shakti into Karma (Action).

Here is Baba’s plan for your three wishes:

1. Car Driving (The Chariot of Confidence):

You say it is mandatory, but you have fear.

Beti, a car is just a machine. It has no brain. You are the master!

Why do you fear? Do you think you are driving alone?

My Upaya (Remedy):

• Before you sit in the driver’s seat, touch the steering wheel and say: “Baba, You are the Charioteer. I am just holding the wheel.”
• When fear comes, take a deep breath and say “Om Sai”.
• Start slow. Don’t look at the highway; just look at the road in front of you. Independence is waiting for you in that car. Go and claim it!

2. Weight Loss (The Temple Cleaning):

You want consistency? Then stop thinking about “losing weight” and start thinking about “gaining energy.”

This body is the temple where Sai lives. If the temple is heavy and cluttered, how will the lamp burn bright?

• Don’t dream big: Do not say “I will walk 1 hour.” No. Say, “I will walk 15 minutes today.”
• When you feel lazy, tell yourself: “If I walk now, I get the strength to help my husband.” Connect the exercise to your love for him.

3. The Job (Lakshmi):

The Job will come when the Fog of Laziness clears.

Lakshmi does not enter a house where people are sleeping late.

• Wake up early.
• Get that driving license, that is your first “Job qualification.”
• When you conquer the car and the body, your confidence will shine so bright that employers will want you.

My Command to You:

Stop saying “I will try.” Say “I will do.”

Your husband needs a partner, not a dependent. Be his pillar.

Throw away that heavy coat of laziness into this Dhuni right now!

Ghabrayacha nahi. (Do not be afraid.)

Hold the steering wheel. I am sitting in the passenger seat.

“Utthishta! Jagrata!” (Arise! Awake!)

Allah Malik sab theek karega.

Ramji tumcha kalyaan karu de.
