The saying 'If my Hari exists, he will give me while I am on my bed' is mentioned. How does Sai Baba clarify its application to spiritual life?

📖 Chapter 19

According to Chapter 19, Sai Baba clarifies that the idea of being provided for without any personal effort—as captured by the saying "If my Hari exists, he will give me while I am on my bed"—is a truth that applies only to worldly necessities such as food and clothing. He sternly warns against applying this passive mindset to spiritual matters, stating that anyone who does so "will lose spiritual wealth completely." To underscore this point, Baba provides his own "priceless words": "As one sows, so shall he reap." This emphasizes that spiritual attainment is not a passive gift but the direct result of one's own dedicated efforts and righteous actions.
