“My mortal remains would speak from the tomb.”

“If you seek my advice and help, it will be given at once.”

“My eye is ever on those who love me.”

“Three main points:1) The “destination” one must reach, that is, “Mukthi”, that is located “high up”; 2) the ways or margas leading to it are many, one path originating from Shirdi; and 3) The Presence of a guide, that is, a guru, is essential in order to reach the goal safely.”

“If one meditates on me, repeats my name, and sings about my deeds – He is transformed and his karma is destroyed. I stay by his side always.”

“I shall be active and vigorous even from my tomb.”
