The Supreme Soul!

[Guest guest]

Shirdi Vaasaaya Vidmahey Sacchidanandaya dimahi Tanno Sai Prachodayat!

At some point in each individual's life, the purpose of human life and questions

about the universe and sheer existence, come up. Some suppress those thoughts

whereas others nurture and start exploring for answers. This exploration

awakens the spark of divinity that exists in each human being and leads the

questioner in the path of spirituality and on to the ultimate reality.

It is without question a fact that a Supreme Being exists; be it called God or

the many variations of it, to suit the individual. What are of interest are the

qualities and attributes of this Supreme Being or soul. Even the Vedas, the

other ancient scriptures of the world, though explaining the birth of this

universe, purpose of human life, etc. fall short of explaining the Supreme

Being by just making an exclamation that the Supreme Being is indescribable. No

one book or saying can describe in full all the attributes, qualities, form or

energy that this supreme soul possesses. Since this whole universe is permeated

with that supreme soul, one can only gauge and imagine till the Supreme Soul

decides to reveal itself to one who has come close to God realization.

What is the characteristic that will attract one to this Supreme Being? Are

there any prescribed methods that this Supreme Being can be understood,

attracted or sought after? That is what all the religions of the world are

about. They are the various paths laid out by the founders to discover and lead

to the ultimate, which is the same regardless of which path one takes. Every

major religion of this world predates to modern age when the information was

restricted to the local community. Imagine what would have happened if the

Internet existed at the time of birth of Christ or when Mohammed was

formulating the Quran or when Lord Krishna incarnated on this earth! Today,

with the growth of information sharing and explosion of the Internet, it is

very easy to be caught in the confusion and think that one thought is better

than the other or one religion is superior to the other one.

Far from it, it is the opposite, as all religions lead to the same supreme soul.

It is also foolish to think that this Supreme Soul, the creator of this universe

does not care of its creation! The Supreme Soul out of its infinite compassion

and love, descends on to this earth very frequently to ensure the development

of not only the society as we call it but the entire universe. When the supreme

soul arrives, spiritually advanced souls of that particular time or age

recognize this being. Every periodic appearance of the supreme soul on this

earth is called an Avatar, is christened a different name and each one has its

own significance and purpose. The avatar of this age happens to be Sadguru

Samarth Sainath of Shirdi! This avatar is the third avatar of love and

compassion in the entire history of all the avatars. The first one being Lord

Krishna which was universal love, the second one being Christ which stood for

love for the father, son,

neighbor and now Shirdi Sai Baba!

Sai Baba, who extends the love not only to human beings but the entire creation

and that too on an individual basis. One can approach him as a father, mother,

brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, cousin, friend or any

of the relationship descriptions known to humankind! The eleven assurances of

Shirdi Sai Baba are his charter! If you are in doubt, put them to test and you

will find your own answers!
