Sai-Baba of Shirdi and Humility

[Guest guest]

A well-known passage in Sri Satcharitha refers to the Saint referring Himself to

human excreta! Is there any other way a realized soul can express His humility?

Can it be a reflection of His disgust? Dispassion? It is His wisdom! Sai Baba

has His peculiar ways of expressing Himself. They are indirect yet piercing,

graphic yet subtle. Followers having faith in His predisposition still

experience His characteristic miracles in their lives everyday.

Sadguru Sainath lived His entire physical life by begging food and living off of

a dilapidated building reverentially referring it to masjid or mosque (place of

worship for people of Islamic faith) or dwarakamayi (referring to the place of

Lord Krishna revered by Hindus). We have no account of Sainath having accrued

any form of material wealth. Every penny that was offered to Him throughout the

day was distributed to others by the end of the day. He often said that poverty

is more precious than kingship. Acharya E. Bharadwaja, one of the most blessed

devotees of Sadguru Sainath wrote about Baba’s estate as follows.. "Everything

is God’s creation, and God’s own. Yet, He possesses nothing and covets nothing.

On the other hand he lavishes all that is His on His creatures, although only a

few can receive what He gives. Others have eyes but do not see; they have ears

but do not hear; they have understanding but do not consider. The greatness of

a saint or

prophet depends on how near he is to this aspect of God. And such God-men arise

amidst us only to tell us to be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is

perfect".
