Mahaa Bhagath, a matter of fact!

[Guest guest]

What is needed of those involved in spreading Sai message is humility, utmost

faith in Sadguru and acceptance that He is the wirepuller and the individuals

are mere participants. Humility for a Sai devotee should be a constant

reminder. The association with any image or emotion, even be sattwic, can only

be a form of hindrance to the task. Hemadpanth aptly wrote that ahankara, the

sense of doership in this context, couldn't be conquered as long as association

with any emotion persists. Dasganu was chided by Baba for setting out like a

bridegroom for singing God's glory. Sai prachaar may not be an elevated state

of activity, time bound and material driven. It happens with the mere intention

of sharing Sadguru's word. Until one truthfully considers himself to be the

least qualified to do the task and realizes that it is providence that bestowed

the blessing, the self remains hindrance to the task.

Baba set up an example by calling Himself a devotee of God. He extolled the

virtues of God, Himself remaining a meek servant. Some say Baba was 'Bhagawad

baktha', the devotee of Lord. "Allah maalik", "God is great", said the God

Himself! In the spiritual context, one may ascribe this attitude of Baba to

adwaita, the non-dual nature of the divine, where Sadguru and Sadbhaktha are

one and the same. However, in the context of spreading God's words, Baba set up

an example. If God calls himself a meek creature, an insect in the dung, where

would that place his followers?

Let this be our reminder as we embark onto the newer phase of understanding Sai

message, by learning and sharing, with humility as a mater of fact.
