If you look to me I look to you

"One God governs all... Everyone's God is One...
Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body.
My tomb shall bless and speak to the needs of the devotees.
I shall be active and vigorous even from my tomb.
My mortal remains would speak from the tomb.
I am ever living to help and guide all who come to me, who surrender to me and who seek refuge in me.
If you look to me I look to you.
If you cast your burden on me , I shall surely bear it.
If you seek my advice and help, it will be given at once.
There shall be no want in the house of my devotee.
Know that my soul is immortal. Know this for yourself
My eye is ever on those who love me.
Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind that I am always of everything you do
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.
In whatever faith one worships me, even so I render to them.
If one perpetually thinks of me, and makes me his sole refuge, I become his debtor and will give my life to save him.
I am the bond slave of my devotee. I love devotion. He who withdraws his heart from the world and loves me is my true lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea.
If you make the sole object of your thoughts and aims you will get paramatma
Look up to me and I will look after you. Not vain is my promise that I shall ever lighten your burden.
Trust is sadguru fully. This is the only sadhana. Sadguru is all the gods.
Though I be no more in flesh and blood, I shall ever protect my devotees. I shall be with you the moment you think of me."
-- Shirdi Sai Baba (1938-1918) was an Indian spiritual master who is regarded by his devotees as a saint, a fakir, a satguru and an incarnation (avatar) of Lord Shiva. He is revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees during, as well as after his lifetime. Saibaba is now revered as incarnation of Sri Dattatreya, and considered as Saguna Brahma. He is attributed to be the creator, sustainer and destroyer of this universe by his devotees. He is decorated with jewels and all forms of Hindu vedic deities as he is supreme God.
According to accounts from his life, he preached the importance of realization of the self, and criticized love towards perishable things. His teachings concentrate on a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to the God and guru. He stressed the importance of surrender to the true Satguru, who, having trod the path to divine consciousness, will lead the disciple through the jungle of spiritual training.
Sai Baba also condemned distinction based on religion or caste. It remains unclear if he was a Muslim or a Hindu. This, however, was of no consequence to Sai Baba. His teaching combined elements of Hinduism and Islam: he gave the Hindu name Dwarakamayi to the mosque in which he lived,practised both Hindu and Muslim rituals, taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions, and took samadhi in Shirdi. One of his well-known epigrams, Allah Malik (God is King) and Sabka Malik Ek (Everyone's Master is One), is associated with both Hinduism and Islam. He is also known to have said Look to me, and I shall look to you."
