Sai and His views on reaping Karma's effects.

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees

For those of us suffering due to our

past karmas and wondering whether there is any use of

resorting to SaiNath Maharaj’s feet, here is the

answer given by our beloved Sai to one Mr.Bharam Uma

Maheshwar Rao in a vision during meditation. This book

can be read from www.saileelas.org

 

 

Mr.Uma Maheshwar Rao sits in meditation one day and

Shri Radha Krishna Swamiji, a very dear devotee of Sai

Baba’s appears in his vision and takes him to many

places. After meeting many sages etc they come across

Shri Sai Baba. The following is an excerpt from the

book “My life with Sai Baba" by SMT.BHARAM MANI

UMAMAHESHWARA RAO.

 

 

 

 

 

"I found Sri SAI BABA in his original form. He was

sitting on a stone with crossed legs. He was having

Kapni of white colour and was having a cloth round his

head. He was having a Mala round the neck. His eyes

were blue in colour. His hands were very long and His

feet very big. His body was neither lean nor stout. He

appears to be very old."

 

 

"When I prostrated on His feet, the bliss I enjoyed

cannot be described. He waved His 'Abhaya Hastha' and

gave a message.": It is as follows:

 

 

"You worship Me with pure speech (Trikarna Suddhi)

selflessly without asking for any result. Then you

will acquire Divine qualities. (Daiva Sambhuti). Take

Udhi in your hand, chant My name and sprinkle that

Vibhuti on your Rudraksha Mala. If you do like this,

your 'Papa Shatkaras' will burnt away."

 

 

I then asked Baba - "It is said that we have to reap

the fruits of the sins committed in the early births.

Is it a fact?"

Baba said 'If you entertain such doubts, your Shraddha

gets unstable and interrupted. Meditation is

essential to attain -JYOTHY'. Keep your mind always on

Me. Then your mind gets stabilized. You asked Me in

Shirdi to come out of the Samadhi to relieve the

sufferings of My Bhaktas. It is a mad thought. One has

to definitely reap the results of one's own Karma.

Results of past Karmas both good and bad are reaped

here. One may become a 'Chandala' also based on his

past Karma."

 

 

"I then asked Baba - You told that one would attain

Atma-Jnana through meditation and get Daiva Sampada by

devotion when the results of past karma are not

removed, what is the use of doing all this? Is there

any thing to get rid off this (Praya Chitta)? What is

the use-of worshipping you and doing meditation?"

 

 

Baba laughed and said - "You mad fellow. Know that

sincere repentance lessens the effects of Karma. There

is nothing like repenting to lessen the impact of

Karma. The visits to Holy Places and bath in Holy

Rivers reduces some karma. Visits to tombs of Holy

persons reduce some karma. These places were

sanctified by their movements. Visits to the Samadhis

of Holy Saints will give Self-Realization (Atma Pari

Poornata). Don't doubt that the Holy people attained

Samadhi do not grant 'JNANA-PRASAD\ You must know that

I am every where in this Universe. Whoever prays to Me

they will become equal to Me."

Hope this clears some of our doubts and enhances our

faith and devotion.

MAY SAI BLESS US ALL!!!!
