"Work, Utter Lord's Name, Study Holy Books." - Shirdi SaiBaba

"These Principal teachings of Baba are sacred pertaining to the spiritual aspect and conduct of our daily life. The whole philosophy of Bhagavatgeetha is summed up by Baba in these phases.When the body is kept in useful work, the mind would calm down and it will be easier to preoccupy it with what is valuable,viz.,sacred study and remembering the Lord. Besides in work, one can easily overcome his chronic self-consiousness, which is Karma Yoga.

The two other phrases, above all, preclude us of vain chattering and gossip, for nothing spoils a man as much as gossip does. as one goes on remembering the Lord by uttering his name, the whole of one's physical activity becomes a practice of obedience to divine order, Which is Bhakthi yoga.

The study of holy text strengthens our right understanding and attitude to life and to God. It restores right sense of values and it makes the mind attuned to the Sadguru, which is Guru Bhakthi, Which utlimately results in Wisdom. This is Jnana yoga. Even if the practice of all these failed to manifest in steadfast bhakthi, Baba gives experience to uplift the the devotee, Which is Viswarupa Sandarsana yoga." - Acharya E.Bharadwaja
