Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Om Sri Sai Ram. Very true sis Madhvi. HE is ever present everywhere. But I also humbly feel that to realise that state of awareness - Poorna Advaita - we might require many lives. So long we are bound by this material and dualistic world, we shall try all our best to seek salvation. And how apt is it to note that the topic of bringing Swamy to US is raised by sister "MAYA" !! I will gladly succumb to that "MAYA" that Swamy is not available with me - if that "MAYA" prompts me to do Sadhana like Namasmarana, Bhajans, prayers, seeking HIS Blessings etc., - which will ultimately take all of humanity towards HIM.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters, Thank you so much for the conversation of bringing Swami to the US. I think though .. that I would like to say .. that trains of thought are maybe getting confused or interchanged in this discussion. Firstly... Swami is most definately OMNIPRESENT ... he is available to ALL ... at any given moment in the world. It is ourselves .. that keep him from us. Not the other way around. Yes ... this conversation could very easily be viewed as mere MAYA ... but please ... do not let this be an excuse to NOT develop greater devotion for Swami, greater conviction, greater resolve to bring his presence HERE. Though he is most assuredly ALWAYS there in omnipresence does he not want us to BE HIS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD .. as he says HIS LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE and now he wants OUR LIVES TO BE HIS MESSAGE. That to me is what I gleemed from the article about the Joythi light. These people did a remarkable and unbelievable feat. In that action .. they themselves ... became examples to all of Swami's message. In thier dedication they revealed to all who would read about them thier dedication and thier devotion. I do not believe that we in the US can calmly just console ourselves anymore with the simple addage of ... Well Swami is Omnipresent all the time ... as an excuse NOT to make an effort of the same. This is all I am trying to say. Everything is as Swami wills it and only as Swami wills it. I would NEVER wish to do otherwise. So time will tell ... most assuredly and Swami .. will also make his will known in his own good time. As a devottee though ... I think that we should ALL ... in every country ... be ready for when thay day comes. For Swami has not just come for the country of Bharat .. but for the entire world and for the family of Humanity at large.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 An acquaintance of ours visited our house in Toronto. He wanted a glass of water to drink. He said he would get it himself and went into our kitchen. While he was looking for a glass he opened one of the kitchen cabinets. He happened to open the cabinet where we had kept a picture of Swami's. He saw Swami's picture and asked us, "Do you worship this man as God?" This person - our acquaintance, happens to be an atheist and has never heard of the name Sai Baba or seen him before. He continued, " I know this guy. I have seen him many times before. I have seen him all over this place." My husband and I stood there speechless!! Ramalingam Balaji [rbalaji] March 8, 2004 1:01 AM saibabanews [saibabanews] Re: Bringing Swamy to US ! Om Sri Sai Ram.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Swami teaches:-when the Soul is ready God will take it to Its ownenlightenment. No sooner no later. Nobody can force advancement toward the path, no matter how much seva or sadhana ( good work for the spirit ). It would take many life times or, through the Grace of God, a split of a second. Just be ready. Maya. Sai Ram Ramalingam Balaji wrote: Om Sri Sai Ram.Very true sis Madhvi.HE is ever present everywhere.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 SAIRAM Love All Serve All is the key to this door of Divine Abode - Our Ego is the lock- Bhakti ( devotion) lubricates this lock. Once you have opened this door then whenever one wishes he can stay in and also come out - No problems for him. - Maya saibabanews Monday, March 08, 2004 8:30 PM [saibabanews] Re: Bringing Swamy to US !

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Swami is probably chuckleing about everyone wanting him to visit in the US because he is already here.
