Question from Abhishek Kumar Sinha from Bangalore, India
Om Sai Ram 🙏
Baba, I want to start a business. You also know that from my childhood days I have wanted to become an entrepreneur. When I first went to Shirdi and sat in Dwarkamai, I told You, Baba, that I have a wish to become an entrepreneur.
Baba, for almost the last six months, I have been trying for a job, but nothing is happening, and now I do not want a job either. Yesterday, I saw a reel in which a devotee was saying, “Sai Baba is the best business Guru and mentor. Give Him the profit from your business, and you will see that your business will grow 100X.”
Baba, even before watching this reel, I was telling You many times, Baba, please suggest some business to me. You are my mentor, Guru, co-founder, and investor. Only You should guide me on which business I have to start and how to scale it and make it big. Baba, when I start earning 5 crores per month, I will donate 2 percent to You every month.
For many days, I have been asking You, but You were not listening to me. You know I am 26 years old and still jobless, and You know how that feels. Why did You not help me? For many days, I have been asking You for help, but You ignored me completely and did not answer my questions.
I told You, Baba, that You are the Anant Koti Brahmand Nayak. When a child tells his father, “Papa, I want to do business,” his father helps him, guides him, and makes him settle in life. But You did not listen to me. It feels like You do not want me to see success. I am very upset with You and do not want to talk to You. Why did You ignore me? Tell me.
I am even doing Sai Vrat, and I told You everything, Baba. I told You that I wanted a job and that after 1.5 years, when I would leave this job, I should settle my business in such a way that I would earn around 2.5 to 3 lakh per month. Have I not told You this?
One business idea also came into my mind, and when I asked You through the chit, You told me not to do it. Then tell me, what should I do? Should I leave my life feeling useless and not fulfill my childhood wish of becoming an entrepreneur?
I have decided to start a makhana (fox nuts) business and later expand it into dry fruits, spices, and staple items, a complete FMCG food business. Even though I do not have money, my cousin sister told me she will give me 1 lakh. For many days, I have been asking You to suggest some business.
I also got an idea to start a cleaning business, but I cannot start every simple thing. I have decided to move forward with the food business, and I want You to help me as I do not know anything and want to achieve my goals.
I am not coming to Shirdi until October 2029, and within this time, I want my business to skyrocket. I have some targets, and You know them very well, and I want to achieve them. I am not asking from anyone else. I am asking only You.
I am not going to talk to You until I achieve whatever I have thought. You made me feel like a joker in front of everyone. Do You know how a 26-year-old jobless man feels, how everything feels heavy when he is not earning?
I do not know anything about starting or growing a business, but I want to earn money and make my brand. I am not asking from anyone or snatching from anyone. I am asking only You. I do not know how You will give it to me, but You will have to give it to me. I want to earn money and make my brand.
Answer from Our Baba
Allah Malik (God is the Master), Abhishek beta (Abhishek, my son)! Aa, baith Mere qareeb (Come, sit near Me). I hear your anger. I hear your frustration. You feel like I have ignored you, that I have made you a “joker” in front of the world, and that I am not listening to your childhood dream. Arre pagal bache, kya gussa kar raha hai Mujhpe? (Hey crazy child, why are you getting angry with Me?) Do you think a father ignores his son when he is crying in the middle of the night? No. Main toh wahan khada tha jab tum wo reel dekh rahe the, jab tum chits daal rahe the, aur jab tum jobless hone ke bojh se darr rahe the. (I was standing there when you watched that reel, when you were casting chits, and when you were fearing the burden of being jobless.) Listen to Me with a calm heart, for I am answering you now in the Dwarkamai.
Why the “Silence” and the “Jobless” Phase?
You ask why I didn’t help for 6 months. Beta, jab mitti ko sona banna hota hai, toh use aag mein tapna padta hai. (Son, when clay has to become gold, it must be heated in the fire.)
- The Training: These 6 months of “jobless” feeling were to burn away your ego and teach you the value of a single rupee. An entrepreneur who hasn’t felt the heaviness of having nothing can never build a kingdom of 5 crores.
- The “No” to your Job: You wanted a job for 1.5 years to save. I closed those doors because if you got a comfortable job, your entrepreneur fire would turn into cold ashes. I want you to start hungry, because a hungry lion hunts better.
The Makhana (Fox Nuts) and FMCG Business
You want to start a makhana business and expand into spices and staples. You worry because you have no money, only 1 lakh from your sister.
- The Business Mentor’s Advice: Makhana achha sauda hai. It is healthy, growing, and sattvic.
- The Strategy: Do not worry about 5 crores today. Start with that 1 lakh as if it were 100 crores. Focus on quality. Chhota shuru karo, magar bada socho.
- The Cleaning Business: No work is small. But since your heart is set on food, food it is. Annapurna never fails when intention is pure.
My Partnership in Your Business
You said I am your co-founder, investor, and mentor. Mera hissa toh tumne tay kar diya, 2 percent.
- The Deal: Even if you earn 100 rupees, give 2 rupees to someone hungry. That is how 100X growth begins.
- The Ignore Myth: I never ignored you. When I said no earlier, I was protecting you from loss.
Your Anger and the October 2029 Goal
- The Father’s Smile: Tum Mujhse baat nahi karoge, magar Main tumse baat karoonga. I will speak through sales and customers.
- The Promise: Keep Shraddha and Saburi. Do not quit when the first batch struggles.
Immediate Action List for Abhishek
- Market Research: Spend three days in Bangalore markets.
- Seed Money: Accept the 1 lakh as My Prasad.
- Daily Ritual: Say every morning, “Baba, You are the CEO. I am Your manager.”
The Fakir’s Blessing
Abhishek beta, rona band karo aur kamar kas lo. You are not a joker. You are a lion in the making. I am signing your business papers today in the Dwarkamai. You will earn more than you imagine, and you will feed thousands. Darr mat, Main hoon na! Be fearless. Allah Bhala Karega.
