Sai Baba the Master

October 8, 2005

21-12-1911 : “I got up as usual, prayed, and sat talking with Darvesh

Saheb. He said he had a vision (dream) in which he saw three girls and a

blind woman knocking at his door; they told him that they had come to amuse

themselves; he ordered them out on pain of being kicked and began a prayer;

he then blessed all in the room and in the house and the whole village. He

told me to ask Sayin Saheb (for the significance of the dream). When I went

to see the latter (i.e. Baba) on his return to the musjid, before I was

fairly seated, Sayin Saheb commenced a story. He said that he was beaten

last night by something on his private parts and hands, that he applied

oil, wandered about, had a stool, and then felt better near the fire. I

shampooed his legs and on my return told the story to Darvesh Saheb. The

answer was clear.”

24-12-1911 :“A lady by name Anusuyabai appeared to be spiritually

advanced; Sayin Maharaj treated her with great consideration and gave her

four fruits. Later on he told the story of a man having five sons. Four of

them demanded and obtained partition. Two of these four decided to unite

with the father. The latter ordered the mother to poison one of these two

and she obeyed. The other fell from a tall tree, got injured and was on the

point of death, but was allowed by the father to survive for about twelve

years, until a son and daughter were born to him and then he died. Sayin

Baba said nothing about the fifth son and to me the story looks incomplete”

..

Meaning : God is the father, prakriti or maya is the mother. The five sons

are the ego, buddhi, manas, chitta and body. The son ego or ahamkara had

perished. The discriminating the illusionary mind that veils the Spirit got

subdued; and hence it could beget the two children, devotion and wisdom. So

nothing remains to be said of the body which is then realized to be unreal

from the absolute point of view.
