Oh Sai Baba, we wave lights before you, the bestower of happiness to the Jivas. Give us - Your servants and devotees rest under the dust of your Feet, burning desires. Oh Kind-hearted, Your power is such! meditation on Your name removes our fear of the Sansar. Oh God of Gods, I pray that, let my treasure be the service of Your Feet. Feed Madhav (the composer of this arati) with happiness as the cloud feeds the Chatak bird with pure water, and thus keep up Your Word.
Make up your mind that you will be happy whether you are rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, happily married or unhappily married, old or young, or smiling or dying. Don’t wait for yourself, or your family, or your surroundings, or the world, to change before you can be happy. Change yourself. Make up your mind to be happy within yourself, right now, whatever you are, or wherever you are.
