Sai Baba the Master - By E.Bhardawaj

[Guest guest]

I included them in this book just to show to the readers how Baba is

willing to bless his devotees even long after his mahasamadhi. How well the

utilize the grace thus showered is their headache and not ours. It is

enough if we too could strive to win his grace and take care not to fall

victims of such lapses. If any of these devotees have any lapses, it only

further vindicates how far Baba is willing to grace us inspite of such

lapses and how we can fare better if we could rid ourselves of such lapses.

It is all the greater incentive to our zeal in self-culture.

 

To be obsessed with the lapses we see in some devotees is to totally

divert our attention from that Baba taught both by his practice and precept

and then we do not deserve to be called his devotees. Instead of meditating

on the divine in all, we thereby do the reverse of it and the fruits of

doing so could be contrary to what we hope to get by following Baba.

Perhaps Baba had inspired me to write the chapter partly to bring any such

error in us to our attention so that we could strive to shake it off. Do we

not see that Baba did something alike in the case of the Ramadasi , when he

had snatched the book Vishnu sahasranama and presented it to Shama?

 

May Baba inspire in us the wisdom to take what is positive in the accounts

of these devotees, and if we notice any of their failings, these help us to

be careful against falling into similar errors ourselves.
