Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 The very skills, attitude, knowledge that one learns become a source of hindrance for one's ability to embark on a spiritual journey and to realize GOD. Human beings like any other thing in this universe are a creation of Nature. Being caught in the illusion and the worldly affairs, the soul gets lost. Mind and intellect pump up the ego. Thus the "I" and "ME" clouds us and makes it difficult to see the reality. One becomes a slave to the various senses and gets caught in conflicting theories and concepts proposed by the Human race! Human beings tend to become creators forgetting that we ourselves are a part of nature's creation! What eternal thing could we create as a species when we ourselves do not survive too long? Nothing! Yet we base our lives justifying our existence on worldly affairs and modern concepts of convenience and the appeasement of ego! Scientists from all branches of science invent or discover new insights to Nature's creation and how it works. The creations and inventions that have thus far happened are nothing more than GOD revealing a nature's secret through the scientist's thoughts! Even the greatest scientists of all times give up after reaching a point because Nature is unfathomable, can not be understood and can not be perceived without divine help and interference! If that is so, then what is our role and goal? Where did the world come from? Who created it? How does it function? Such questions have been and continue to be asked by intellects as well as ordinary persons since the creation of this universe. The Supreme and divine soul, of which we are all but a part, taught the purpose of Human life, its role, how it should be lived, and its ultimate destination as well as the creation of this universe through the ancient scriptures. In today's times, the ancient teachings are neither understood nor practiced by an average person. It is very difficult, although not impossible, to understand, perceive and live these teachings in the times we live in. Does the diligent following of a religion provide the answers? Path, though it is, blindfolded at times due to our own selfishness; otherwise, could there any single life be lost in the name of religion? Who provides the answers? For this reason, the divine soul manifested itself as a common person to teach the eternal truth. Composed of infinite love, infinite knowledge, infinite compassion, infinite power, infinite bliss "SAI BABA" came into our lives to lead the souls of his devotees out of misery, pain and illusion to set them on the right path towards the ultimate destination. Singing, reading, hearing, talking, preaching, reflecting, contemplating, etc on the life and teachings of "SAI BABA" will awaken the soul and start to make it walk towards the right path. Said Baba to His intimate devotee Nana, "Awaken the inner-self.. you will see the magnificence". On this peaceful Thursday, let us all gather and sing the praise of that Lord who will bring us all to the path to destination. source:saibaba.org Arun Reddy Nukala +44-7946-595063 +44-2085-695116 Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
