Shri Sai Baba's Grace (December 1975) by S.Thyagarajan

[Guest guest]

This sort of mediation is necessary not only for material things but

spiritual thinking too. Who will be the mediator for spiritualism ?

This is a pertinent question and the answer is Avatara Purushas,

who live a life of dedication and who guide all those who seek their

advice and see that the seekers are benefitted to the maximum in

this world and the other world as well. Mundane benefits are very

limited if one only realises that they are only means to an end and not

the end itself Once the mundane benefits are derived and you are almost

saturated with them, automatically your mind thinks of the other world

where you may have to answer ever so many questions and satisfy the

Supreme Power to give you a place there for ever. The fundamental question

would be what were you doing all your life in this world except to

seek material pleasures and rejoice yourself. You may have to say

when you were almost bored with material things, you sought after

spiritualism and before you could actually make a beginning you were called

away to the other world and you couldn't do anything worth the name.

So, lack of time is the only excuse you could offer to God when you are

faced with the problem of finding a place at His Feet. That is why Avatara

Purushas are sent to this world by the Almighty, These Avatara Purushas

put you in the proper way, guide you almost in every minute thing and

teach you how to be 'attached and detached' at the same time,

which makes you seek the Grace of the Almighty every moment of

your life though you may be working hard for your existence and enjoying

all the material benefits-as your job, your family, your possessions

and so on but yet always think of God. How could this be possible when

elders have said, "One thing at a time and that should be done

well" ? It is possible and easily practicable when you firmly

resolve to feel that every movement of yours, every at of yours and the

result of your every effort be it success or failure is dedicated to Him and

He is responsible for what all happens or is caused to be happen to you.
