'Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi -A God!' by Bapatla Hanumanth Rao Garu

[Guest guest]

Third reason :

Kabir spoke thus: "Our path is not known without the mercy of Sadguru (noble

teacher)". In some other context, he says,: "He, who obtains the mercy of

his Guru (teacher), imbibe the wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Even though.,

human he understands the divinity of Narayana with His grace, and becomes

one with Him just like a small creature like a worm transforms itself into a

bee".

 

Adi Sankaracharya says :"Jiva is the reflection of Brahmam".

 

On any matter we should first practice before we preach others and relate

our experiences by actions and not by words This has been well demonstrated

in the incarnation of God Sai Baba. From an ordinary person He attained the

state divinity by His actions. He practiced first before preaching others.

God, in the Avatara of Sri Rama followed a Dharma (Deeds based on certain

principles) and this Dharma only taught in the Avatara of Sri Krishna. If

some one tries to preach before putting into practice he should be

considered a cheat a deceitful person.

 

Let us observe one thing. With fire beneath and water above we cannot boil

water without the help of a container. Fire extinguished if the water is

more. If the fire rises high, water evaporated. Like wise, a good Guru is

the main prop between man and God. Only a Sadguru, nearer to the man by

humanism, close to God by his divinity, can improve the lot mankind. By

removing them from static state he can elevate them to a higher sphere of

life. The incarnation of Sai is to make world know this truth. It will be

further clear if we follow the world the Iife history of Sai from the

beginning to the end.

 

Baba said to his disciples: "My methods are unique I have nothing to speak

into the ears of my devotees".

 

Baba in all his discourses and deliberations revealed the truth that he had

attained his present state only because of the bountiful mercy of his Guru.

 

At first we must realize the great potentialities of a Samardha Sadguru

(able, efficient teacher). We should get the idea of seeking such a Guru. In

fact a strange fear sets in at the sight of such a person. This fear (fear

of God) gradually develops into a feeling of devotion. This devotion in turn

becomes mutual love and affection As it grows, they come closer. Finally the

Seeker and the Guru unite with each other. This is the greatest secret

revealed in the incarnation of Sai. He preached it after practicing the same

in the service of his Guru. A living being, who has been blessed with the

good and noble actions of his previous life, attains 'Mukti’  (Salvation),

when he seeks refuge in Baba.

Sai desires from his children two qualities only -

(1) Nishta (Intense Faith)

(2) 'Saburi} (Patience with Courage).

If one offers these two coins as 'Dakshina (offering of a disciple to his

Guru) and completely surrenders to Him, He will take care of all his burdens

and leads him in the safest manner to his ultimate goal.
