108 SALUTATIONS TO BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA81. SALUTATIONS TO NATURE LOVING GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI

BABA"While

travelling by car and seeking some place to take breakfast or lunch,

Baba spots out locations which are gems of beauty. 'Beauty is Bliss' is

a statement often on His lips.""Baba encourages everyone to

appreciate the beauties of nature; He directs attention to the charm of

a flower, the colorful magnificence of a sunrise or sunset, the grim

grandeur of an overcast sky, the timorous twinkling of the stars in the

midnight sky or the moving jasmine - garland of cranes in flight."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part I, pg 96, 116)Baba has an eye for Nature's Beauty.Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Nature Loving' God.82. SALUTATIONS TO NECTAR GIVING GOD :SRI SATHYA SAI BABA"Some

Devotees who desired to have a quiet morning with Baba whisked Him away

(after first getting His gracious consent, of course) to a place near

Bangalore. There, after a discussion on Karma, Rebirth, and the Nature

of Soul, Baba 'took' (materialized) a small silver vessel full of

nectar and distributed it to the eight or ten people who were present.

He then gave the container to a person who was shortly to leave for

England, with his wife; when He noticed the disappointment on the faces

of the couple, at getting only an empty vessel. He got back the vessel

and gave it back, without even the wave of hand! And the vessel was

again full of the precious nectar!"(Sathya Sai Speaks Part I, pg 136)Baba giving the Divine nectar to His Devotees through various other means is not un-common.Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Nectar Giving' God.83. SALUTATIONS TO NEVER HURTING GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABABaba

never hurts anyone. In the past, some people tried to slander and

scandalize Him through newspapers. Speaking to them, Baba said, "They

are like moths whose nature is to bore into fabrics. They cannot but do

anything else; they have an inner impulse, which they have not been

taught to overcome. They slander all who come in their purview.So,

be happy that they are deriving joy through such means, why should you

deny them that avenue for the expression of their nature? I am glad

that they are able to feed their wives and children with the income

which the stink sheets give them. Why should you be miserable, when

they are eating their meal?"(Sathya Sai Speaks Part II, pg 212)"Help Ever, Hurt Never" Baba advises.Truly, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Never Hurting' God.84. SALUTATIONS TO NEVER RESTING GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABA"Baba

is the most tireless worker at Prashanti Nilayam, planning, designing,

arranging and supervising every little act that conduces to the proper

functioning of its various world-wide activities. Nothing is done,

there or in other places where organizations function in His Name,

without His express permission and blessings. At the Nilayam, He is

busy day and night, teaching, training, consoling, comforting and

counseling, the hundreds who come to Him for light and guidance. Even

while on tour, He uses what little time He can spare for the

amelioration of the suffering and the distress of the poor and the down

hearted."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part II, pg 206)He never rests. Truly, the Avathar has no rest! But, as Baba says, "Had I needed rest, I wouldn't have incarnated."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part IV, pg 67)Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Never Resting' God.85. SALUTATIONS TO OMNIPOTENT GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABADenise

Eversole wrote in the daily paper, Movement, in California, about her

visit to a Sathya Sai Baba Shrine in south India : "Vibhuthi pours from

Baba's photographs, and two small, enamel medallions of Baba exude a

jasmine scented sweet nectar called 'Amrutha'. A large jar daily fills

up with this syrup, and the photographs are scraped clear. Both these

manifestations of Baba's grace are given freely to all visitors. We

received large containers of each, and watched carefully as more, and

yet more, Vibhuthi and Amrutha formed and poured from the Blessed

objects... Nearby the Kaveri River, a short walk from the temple leads

one to a pair of stone feet. From the feet oozes an oil with the most

enchanting fragrance. This we wiped on our scarves and kerchiefs and

whatever else we had, and watched a more oil oozed up from between the

toes. It was my fourth visit to this shrine, but I never tire of

witnessing these evidences of Bhagavan's omnipotence."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part I, pg )Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Omnipotent' God.86. SALUTATIONS TO OMNIPRESENT GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABAMuriel

Engle writes from San Diego on the Pacific Coast : "Ruth has a teaching

job in Mexico. She is busy going back and forth. She attends Bhajans on

Thursdays at Santa Barbara, but is still a skeptic. Her health problem

have been tormenting her since long. She has bouts of extreme pain for

several days at a stretch. One evening, in her little room, she

suffered from terrible pain, and in her desperate agony, she was crying

out, 'Oh, is there someone to help me? Anyone? Why am I suffering this?

What shall I do? Oh, help!''Suddenly, she felt a gentle touch

on her arm. She stopped shouting and, as she turned, there stood Baba

beside her bed. 'Don't shout so,' He said, 'I am always here.' Then, He

disappeared. And along with Him the pain, too, had gone. This is

another instance of His Omnipresence."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part IV, pg 92, 93)Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Omnipresent' God.87. SALUTATIONS TO OMNISCIENT GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABABaba

told Arnold Schulman, 'I know your past, I know your future. So I know

why you suffer and how you can escape suffering and when you finally

will. I know everything that has happened to everybody in the past,

everything that is happening now and everything that will happen in

future. I know why the person has to suffer in this life and what will

happen to him the next time he is born because of that suffering this

time.""In His speech to an enormous crowd at the Patel Stadium

in Bombay, He said, "I know all that happens to all because I am in

everyone. This current is in every bulb. I illumine every

consciousness."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part III, pg 305)There is nothing that Baba doesn't know.Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Omniscient' God.88. SALUTATIONS TO OPEN-TO-INQUIRY GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABA"Dr

Karlis Osis, a Director of Research from the prestigious American

Society for Psychical Research and his friend and fellow worker, Dr E

Haroldson, visited India three times, met many people who had a long

association with Baba, journeyed thousands of miles on fact-finding

assignments, and stayed at Prashanti Nilayam for months together -

seeing, hearing, studying, observing and experiencing. Dr Osis writes,

'The abundance of the phenomena encountered and the magnitude of the

miraculous effect, were a complete surprise to seasoned

para-psychologists like us... I have been an active researcher for

twenty-five years and have traveled widely, but no where have I found

phenomena which point as clearly and forcibly to spiritual reality as

the daily miracles of Baba."Baba says, "come, examine and

experience. Those who wish to secure pearls must dive deep to get them.

It is useless to dabble in shallow waters and claim that the sea holds

no treasures."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part IV, pg 171, 172)Baba is open to inquiry to those who approach Him with an open mind to understand and appreciate the Avatar.Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Open-to-Inquiry' God.89. SALUTATIONS TO POWERFUL GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABA"On

Christmas day, 1970, Baba declared at Bombay, "There are many who

cannot bear or tolerate the splendor that emanates from Me; the

Divinity expressed in and through every act of Mine. These people label

them as acts of mesmerism, miracles or feats of magic! Their vocabulary

is small. Their experience is limited. They hope by these words to cast

a slur. Le Me tell you this : Mine is no mesmerism, miracle or magic!

Mine is genuine Divine Power. Small minds and limited intellects cannot

comprehend them. They have no strength or stamina to grasp the

magnificence and majesty. God can do anything. He has all power in the

palm of His hand. My body, like all other bodies, is a temporary

habitation; but My power is eternal, all-pervasive, ever dominant."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part III, pg 136)Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Powerful' God.90. SALUTATIONS TO PROBLEM SOLVING GOD : SRI SATHYA SAI BABA"Many

brought their problems before Baba and prayed for solutions. They

returned happy and restful, for their problems received Baba's clear

analysis, deep diagnosis, intimate unraveling and effective remedy."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part IV, pg 108)"Baba

is the indweller in each human heart. He gathers people around Him day

after day and deals with them in Love and Compassion. Physical illness,

mental work, psychic disorder, economic want, family discord,

intellectual deficiency, professional set-backs; He handles each

problem as it comes with supreme and unfailing skill."(Sathya Sai Speaks Part III, pg 319)Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the 'Problem Solving' God.(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God by Ramadas Gollapudi) Visit : Sai Messages : http://saimessages.blogspot.com/ Sai Divine Inspirations : http://saidivineinspirations.blogspot.com/
