"The splendor of the Avatar is like that of a million suns. Yet His grace is as

cool and pleasant as that of a million Moons."

Man usually thanks God for the good things that come, but do not thank Him for

the things that seem bad. That is where people generally are wrong because man

always feel that life is a problem to be solved, but does not understand that

it is a reality to be experienced. People do not realize that human birth is

the most precious and it is only human being that is given the sacred specific

opportunity for spiritual evolution and self-realization.

Only strong faith on Divinity, Saints, God or Godmen if solidly reposed and

developed, becomes the armor and protection that sustains him to bear through.

Let us see question put to Yudhishtira by Yakshya in MahaBharata, "KA-DIK ?"

meaning "which is the right direction or guidance to follow. The reply which

Yudhishthira was said to have given was "SANTO-DIK" meaning " The direction

marked-out by the lives of saints". This implies that Saints indeed are beacon

lights to guide man in their life's journey. Just as a light house guides the

mariner on the high seas on his voyage to the port of destination, the lives

and messages of Saints, similarly light the path of men and guide them to reach

the life's goal, that is 'Realization of God'. adhering-to the process and path

of self-retrospection, self-purification, self-observation, self-restraint,

self-sacrifice, self-reliance and self-reform.

As sea does not invite the rivers to come to it, but the rivers get irresistibly

drawn to the sea, and the flowers though never invite the bee, but the Bee, is

helplessly drawn to it, people of all strata, caste, color, creed and religion,

millions in number are automatically attracted and drawn to the feet of Sri Sai

Baba. When one look to Sri Sai Satcharitra it reminds him the 'Divine

assurance' : - "When-ever a devotee has complete and whole hearted devotion to

Sai Baba, all his calamities and dangers are warded of and his welfare,

attended to by Baba". Baba also often use to tell, "My treasury is full, I can

give anyone what he wants, but I have to see whether he is qualified to receive

my gift". Undoubtedly material benefits were conferred openly in the miracles

Baba performed, but concealed behind such incomprehensible and incredible

miracles; What was the spectacular peculiarity and specialty in the Saint of

Shirdi that continue the perennial

impact on the masses ?

Usually people have heard and might have come across many Saints who would

forget their body and surroundings and then return to them. But Sri Sai Baba

was constantly both in and outside the material world and was always in the all

knowing state. Baba The Great Saint, Born Avadhoot, The incarnation of LORD SRI

DATTATREYA , reconciles action and actionlessness and reaches actionlessness

through action. He was every moment exercising a dual consciousness one

actively utilizing the ego called SAI BABA and dealing with other egos in

temporal or spiritual affairs, transcending all egos, abiding in the state of

universal soul. He was constantly exercising and manifesting the powers and

features proper to both states of consciousness and was the discrimination and

dispassion incarnate (...to be continued).
