Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 3.0 MESSAGES ON "THE PROCESS" `The Process' 3.1 Various steps in `Sadhana' elucidated above, put together constitute "The Process". At times, in the pursuit of spiritual path, additional undefined `Sadhanas' and "The Process" are intertwined giving double strength to the cord woven for God realization. The attached sketch symbolizes various steps involved in "The Process". Prayer and Messages 3.2 Messages received in meditation directly from Sri Sai Baba on the subject "The Process" are reproduced below in chronological order covering the period (1983-94) with the fond hope that the same would help assist the devotees in their "Sadhana" for God realization. Prayer: December 1983 "Baba, save me from the agony of life, Save me from the torture of the mind, Save me from rebirth, Allow me to enter into Thee for eternal bliss". Messages: February 1984 1. "An ugly insect can be turned into a beautiful butterfly through proper transformation, so also any cruel or wicked person can be transformed into a close associate of the Lord through spiritual transformation". May 1984 2. "One should avoid moving and thinking only along the path of a circle, One should aim to move along a straight line, Any movement on the perimeter brings one to the same point, Movement on a straight line gives scope to progress, Even on a straight line, you get stunted, If `Maya' overtakes you; you get blurred in vision; To overcome this, you need the vision and grace of the Lord through prayer" December 1984 3. "Soul is the powerful part of the Lord (Almighty) lying invisible in you -- if you harness the same, you merge with the Lord for supreme bliss" February 1985 4. "Human life is not the life you lead at the moment, it is a process of lives and deaths till it reaches the sublime state of merger with the Lord. This could be achieved through prayer and penance, the latter embraces sacrifices one carries out to the Lord under multiple facets. As such, life has to be looked in its totality and not in segments". Prayer: July 1985 "I am in search of the Truth, The Truth that symbolizes the Supreme, It is a long process and in this process, I may make mistakes, But I still pray to Him to put strength in me to overcome the same, And reach Him with Supreme bliss".
