Bundle up your notes!

[Guest guest]

When the rich merchant sought Sai Baba for Brahma Jnana (Self realization), Baba

made him sit and asked someone else to fetch some money, the money Baba never

needed. The merchant sat quite anticipating that he would be rewarded with the

ultimate wisdom, the only riches that he has been denied in life. Or so he

thought!

After the drama was over, the Merciful One asked the merchant to take out the

bundle from his pocket, spelling out exactly the amount to its last rupee!

Bewildered and humiliated, the merchant knew exactly what Baba meant to teach

him through the drama. How could someone who is not willing to part with the

most transient of the possessions gain the experience of more than a lifetime!

Missed opportunity!

Sai Satcharithamritha quotes several incidents where Baba read the minds of

those who came to him; the pleader from Pandharpur was referred to as someone

cunning, and Sapatnekar was made to endure the abuse and the humiliation until

his mind was completely transformed and his faith in Baba grew to the

unconditional extent.

The realization that Sadguru is Antaryamin, the one that is the most awake and

the one that is the most aware is a significant stage in one's spiritual

pursuit. He stays in the Conscious observing every thought and every action.

Such a realization should naturally lead one to the thoughts and action that

are truthful with the acceptance that the self is not the doer. Good or bad,

right or wrong, necessary or wasteful, mandatory or optional, any logic and

every thought will have His supervision. Whatever such a mind does will always

have right consequences. The self charioted by Sadguru does not stop at the

transitory bundles, however big that might !
