KEEP YOUR PROMISE ALWAYS

Sai Baba preached that, if you promise anything to anybody, you, must fulfil it. Never give a false promise. Devotees normally pray and make a vow to their diety or Guru to do some act or offer something, on condition, that certain desire of theirs is fulfilled, but, once their desire is fulfilled they forget to fulfil their vow. There are many instances, where Sai Baba prompted such devotees to fulfil their pending vows. For instance, in Ch. 33, Appasaheb Kulkarni wished to pay Rs. 10 to the Fakir, who had visited his residence during his absence and Baba got it fulfilled by approaching him again and demanding the full amount. Similarly, in Ch. 30, we have read how Sai Baba manoeuvred to get Shama's long-pending offering to Sapla-shringi Goddess fulfilled. In Ch. 15 also Sai Baba is seen highly pleased to note His devotee Cholkar giving up sugar in his dietary and drinking tea also without sugar until his vow to offer sugar-candy to Sai Baba by visiting Shirdi is fulfilled.
