Bhakti

[Guest guest]

O hi Mayandi looks like a lot of people have come here!

thanks Shri Balaji.

Welcome and thank you baba.

Dear Mayandi the mother and father who give birth to us love us

because they have given birth to us and out of this love they raise

us.They dont love and raise every child on the earth. Parental love

is natural.It is a reflection of God's love for us all-God is the

real parent but his love is purest and completely selfless and

unconditional.Even birds and animals love thier children.The parents

do not love the children of others.But the love of God and Guru is

completely selfless-they love us totally,equally and

unconditionally.They love us so much that they always try to

eradicate our problems from the roots and thats why they show us the

path to spiritality and eternal freedom from suffering.

 

SHIRDI SAIN BABA'S SERMON CONTINUES-:

ANOTHER bhakta said after hearing this: " you are really Sainbaba.We

were misguided young men and you showed us the way, all of us were

inititiated on the path of Ishwar bhakti by you and you are guiding

us "

 

Shirdi Sain Baba said: " this cloth of a human body is recieved by us

for God knows good karmas of how many lives.The human being is the

most intelligent of all living beings.He can perform even better

karmas in this life because he has intellect and gyaana. But we get

entangled in the web of maya, desires and attatchment.It becomes

nearly impossible to get rid of this.Our heart remains absorbed in

desires and selfishness day and night. What does not a human being do

for money and property! Even there is anyone who can free us from

this sandquick its a Guru...only a Guru. But where can one find a

true Guru these days! It is very difficult to come across even an

honest human being ,in such conditions having a true Guru has become

even more difficult!

 

Another bhakta asked: " Who is a true Guru Sainbaba? "

 

Sainbaba replied: " A true Guru is one who can tell his disciple what

the difference between the right and wrong is; what is good for him

and what isnt.He should be able to give aatma prakash(inner

illumination) and aatma gyaan(knowledge of self).The one who has not

even the smallest amount of selfishness in his heart.The one who

considers his disciple an amsha(part and parcel) of himself is alone

the true Guru. "

 

Next I will post Shirdi Sain Baba's sermon on Guru / spiritual master

or teacher
