Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Sai Ram to All of you, I just wanted to share few things on the word "Sai Devotee". We all call our selves Sai Devotees. "Sai Devotee" is not a badge that can be easily worn, its a path which is very difficult to follow. Swamy had mentioned in various discourses that all forms and all names are His. All beings are his form. Who ever follows the Sai path knowingly or unknowingly is a Sai Devotee. Who does not follow the Sai path is not a devotee. Visiting Puttaparthy, having darshan or attandance at the Sai center does not make one a Sai Devotee. Swamy said in one discourse pointing to the audience that not a single person present here is a true devotee. He also said in another discourse that people come and go but show no difference, If that is the case, you should not even come here. Let us pray Swamy to bless us in becoming true Sai devotees. This content is taken from the discourses of Swamy. Om Sri Sai Ram Take Mail with you!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks for quoting Swamys words Sai Devotee when every one is same where is the question of Swamy and Devotee are same in various forms and names so as such the word Devotee does not apply to any one in this universe because we are all including all living and non living form part of the Being only Sai Ram to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Sai Ram Rajani, Very TRUE indeed. We all are considering ourselves as SAI DEVOTEES, but, if we are selfish or selfcentred then will SAI be proud to call us HIS DEVOTEES. Swami also says that we are quick to call ourselves as Sai Devotees but, we should abide by HIS teachings and let Him call us HIS DEVOTEES. Sai Ram - Be Happy.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Dear Sai devotees, We use the word devotee very loosely. According to Swami a devotee is one who surrenders to God (Swami) completely without any trace of ego. One has to ask himself or herself if they are devotees according to Swami's definition. If they really are there is no difference between devotee and God. That is the ultimate mission of everyone. Please free to say is there anything wrong in what I said. Glory to Swami Glory to the real Sai devotees. Aum Sri Sai Ram Dr.Pakirareddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Sairam, Every morning I read a story from Shirdi Baba's Satcharitra and a story from Tapovanam. This morning the story was about a devotee whom Swami ordered to walk to the interview room. As I closed my eyes in prayer, a thought came into my mind: " All of us are people who on wheelchairs whom Baba is ordering to get up and walk. The two wheels of the chair are " Our fear of the future" and "Our guilt of the past". The seat is "Lack of faith". As long as we do not obey Swami and get up and walk, which would mean stop the mind from lose thinking and not having faith in Him and His promise to take care of us we will never become His devotees.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Sairam This is with reference to calling our sai devotees : better to be known as sai 'followers' as we can not be devotees as we lack the qualities of being a devotee. Before calling us as devotees, we should remember the definitions / qualities of devotees as described in the great poet Shri Narsi Mehta's bhajan "Vaishnava jana to tena kahiye je..." Sairam. papu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
