Devotion - Love of God

 

 

Experiences show that intellectual endeavours, howsoever potent and

mighty they may seem, have not catapulated or thrown or raised any

human being to spiritual heights. History shows that the highest

spiritual masters are those who were uneducated in formal sense. For

example, Ramkrishna Paramhans, Shri Shirdi Sai, Namdev, Tukaram,

Paltu Maharaj etc. It obviously means that there is something self-

limited in the intellectualism in the path of spiritual progress. All

that the spiritual masters learnt in their life and spread among

others is 'Bhakti' or devotion. "Bhakti" means love of God. Since God

is not sitting in a throne like an individual, therefore, how to love

Him. The answer is that God is in everyone and if one has the

capacity to love others, he is doing real devotion. Even doing all

the worship, yoga, pranaayaam (breath control) etc., for one's own

improvement is not 'Bhakti'. It is one activity for fulfilling

spiritual/occult ambition like any other ambition.

 

People in the path of devotion develop certain qualities that

manifest in their daily life activities. They become humble,

sacrificing, more universal and sensitive to the pain of others. They

love Baba and flow in that stream unknowingly carrying along with

them all that come in their contact. They don't try to pray to Baba

for the fulfillment of any material requirements. Baba has a role to

play to lead them ultimately to the correct path and correct goal.

They have nothing to prove and, therefore, do not allow 'ego' to

assert itself. This is the correct path towards Baba.

 

Baba Said....

 

"I envelope all the creatures, the movable and immovable world. I am

the controller, the wire-puller of the show of this universe. I am

the mother-origin of all beings, the harmony of three Gunas, the

propeller of all senses, the Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer."
