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

[Guest guest]

He lived for a number of years doing such yeoman service to mankind and

brought about a new conception of Devotion-Guru Bhakthi. It has been laid

down that one should pay obeisance in the following orders, to,Mata,

Pita, Guru Divam -Thus, the Guru comes between the parents and God. And that

Guru could also be only one as are your parents and God is always

one, by whatever name you call Him and in whichever form He is. Sri

Sai Baba ' by this unique method established H.ndu-Muslim unity in a

land of varied castes, communities, religions and languages. When He

actually left this mortal coil, He took it upon Himself to render the same

kind of help and service from His Samadhi and even to-day, after fifty

six years of His attaining Samadhi, He is keeping up his word and rushes to

anyone to help him in difficulties, the moment one utters His name and

passes on the burden to Him. But the subtle difference lies in the depth of

sincerity with which you feel His presence. Your faith in Him should be

implicit and unassailable. Even if all the world were to say anything

against f your Guru, you should not be shaken and become doubtful. You

should be bold enough to face any odd situation with the only belief

that Sri Sai Baba knows when to solve your problem. Such courage of

conviction and implicit faith in Him were the two pieces of Guru

Dakshina He demanded from His devotees

As Jesus had his Apostles, Sri Sai Baba also sent into this world his chosen

Devotees to propogate His cult and guide people through sincere service and

lead them in the path of righteousness and mental renunciation.
