Getting answer from Shirdi Saibaba by writing your wishes in chits must be avoided to maximum

Sairam friends,

Many Shirdi Saibaba devotees have the habit of writing their wishes in a paper, folding it and offering in Sai’s feet to know the answer. Even in temples, the priests at times keep white or red flowers and tell the devotees if their desire will come true or not. In Sai Satcharitra, during Sai’s life time itself, some devotees who can’t meet him personally will simply cast chits to get the answer from Saibaba and take decision based on that.

I myself have this very stupid habit of writing what’s going to happen in my life in so many small chits and asking Baba to make me select the one which is going to come true. I have done it 1000 times myself over the years. Sometimes, It came true and other times it din’t.

The problem is we don’t really realize Sai lives in ourselves as Antaryami. We want our desires to be fulfilled immediately as we wish and based on that we write in chits. When we pick a chit with positive answer, we feel elated and happy. May be Sai simply wants to give us this temporary satisfaction for time being and didn’t really mean our desire will be fulfilled.

I started writing this article especially as a warning to devotees who totally believe these answer from chits and take important decisions based on the result.

1. There are devotees who take decision to marry based on the results. You are most welcome to do it but if you are not happy with your married life, do not think Sai only choose the life for you.

Better take your own decision based on the person’s nature and if you really like him/her.

2. There are Sai devotees who take serious financial decision, career choices and even do a business based on the chits. NO. Chits may or may not be right.

We always believe Sai is making us take wrong decisions but its our ignorance. What can the chit or answer do if our karmic bond is so bad?

This life is really hard for few people and to cross the ocean of wordily life, we have to ferry remembering the Guru. Keep chanting Sai’s holy name in your mind, ever think good and do little good to people around you. Your life will be good for sure.

You can cast chits for taking decision but do not believe it completely. Use your intelligence to analyze if decision you take it good or not.

I am writing this article after facing few worst pain in June 2012, when I faced a painful situation due to my trust in getting answer from chits.

Secondly, few devotees mail me that they did something based on Sai’s answer by casting chits but they got into some problem.

Why all this trouble?

Simply worship Saibaba to show you the right way and ever remember him. If your mind is pure, Sai will only make you take the right decision.

What’s on a piece of paper?

Apart from this, I have requested Sai devotees several times not to trust any Answer book including the one I wrote – Shirdi Saibaba speaks from Dwarakamai.

Please use these rarely. It really works but don’t use it often and confuse yourself. How can I or any one compress the vast powers of a Saint with few numbers?

Sai works in miraculous ways and he alone knows what’s good for you.

Note: I am not stopping you from casting chits or getting guidance from Sai in any ways you choose. I am only warning you not to take important decisions just because things turn our positive in these piece of paper. Be careful.

Rest is your wish.

I felt like writing this to you because I feel really depressed today.

  • Venkat Sir,

    Please dnt get depress. you are inspiration of thousand of devotees like me. your words and your guidance are have been path finder. you consider yourself servant of sai, if you will feel down i am sure sai will also feel sad . so please take care of you sir.

  • Omsairam venkat
    Ur star sai network has been a constant source of solace and comfort in moments of extreme distress and the answers are absolutely accurate and provide hope when all else fails.
    May Baba bless you for creating it!!
    But today i was very disappointed when you mentioned that one should trust one’s own intelligence instead of the chits through which i feel that Baba conveys messages to us.
    Maybe these are trying times for you too
    But don’t worry as this too shall pass
    It’s true that in moments of deep despair our shraddha n saburi also undergo severe and toughest tests
    Regards and love
    Omsairam

  • I have done the same 100 times. infact this morning also. i kw nothing is gonna happen as i wish. But still i think may be baba shows some miracle in last min and fulfill my wishes. The chances of getting my wishes getting true is not even one percentage. But i belive if baba want me to be happy he will find some solution to my problem.

    My baba have given me all the happiness which can happen in a whole from within just one year. 2013 was a year full of hope expectations excitments life love happiness thrill enjoyment . i was the most happiest person in the world. and now its all just pain memories for rest of my life. baba gave me and he himself taken back. Its all his wish. No complaints. Please help me to overcome this pain baba. Thanks baba for those days. but at times i felt better not to give at all than to give and take it back.

    Om Sai Ram

  • Dear Venkat
    I am definitely on you side of the fence. Its ok to use the chits sometimes as a guidance only but not to take decisions. Baaba does give us intelligence and commons sense to analyse our problems in our life. I understand whn we are low in life nothing seems to helps. We are then desperate for answers & support.
    We should pray for a way & work even harder to achieve our goals. What the human mind wants is not always the same as what Baaba wants.
    Its sad if we get the answer we want we are happy wit Sai. If we dont get what we want we leave Sai.
    Baaba will only give what we need.

  • very interesting article on chits.IThey give great solce to some whoa re really desperate and seek immediate answers.But Venkat Sai Devotee youa re absolutely right.Sri Sai knows best what we need and what is good for us.

    thanks and Greetings to all Sai Devotees

  • I too do it frequently….but ur article is soo true ..venkat ji. i realised…..what ever happns .so ever happens is nothing but blessings of baba…sairam..good or bad …victory or loss
    …Baba will be there for us ….he will never leave the hand of his devotees…..i personally think negetive answers in chits are simply a test by beloved baba to our patience……and in my case i made chit and found a negetive thing…i read sacchari
    tha fr a while..slept fr a while ..and opened the site and found this…seen a cinema being broadcasted on television when father switch on it…a thought striked in my mind..baba saved me from many calamities. .saved my life….if he wants to giv that negetive result…he wouldnot have to save me from all these…so simply thought he wants to test me….dont knw all my assumptions are correct or wrng…only thing i knw is srisai baba loves one and all…always take care of his devotees as a mother take care if her children…he too suffers with us at the time of suffering….offers us strenght to face the problem and intelligence and patience to solve it in a right way……sai ram…

  • Fortunate enough to read your article. I too was in the habit of writing chits.
    With the urge to get positive and quick answers we indulge in silly and stupid ideas of writing chits, which is an unfair practice. Thank you for helping me to realise my stupidity and increasing my belief in SAI BABA.

  • Thanku for this article… I have started this throwing of chits before sai baba before taking any decision… i was acting studious… when i used to get negative answers.. i used to leave working for that.. today i felt… i should not do that…. i don’t know those answers will come true or not… but today i promise that i will never do it again… never… i will pray to sai.. i trust him a lot… and i know whatever he will do.. will be correct for me… thanku once again…

  • I had this serious habit of writing chits and asking answers and one fine day when I got a negative answer I became very anxious and I still at times think about the negative answer and get anxious , one fine day my aunt asked me to stop practicing it as it is not a right way to ask baba anything, she asked me to pray and leave it to him, today again after a year I’m feeling an urge to do it and then found this answer on the Internet when I searched about it. I’m really grateful
