baba's sayings and happenings

By T.A. Ram Nathen

 

First

give up all ideas of enjoyment in this world and the next, care only for God

and Truth. We are here to know truth, not for enjoyment. Leave that to brutes

that enjoy as we never can. Man is a thinking being and must struggle on until

he conquers death, until he sees the light. He must not spend himself in vain

talking that bears no fruit. Worship of society and popular opinion is

idolatry. The soul has no sex, no country, no place,

no time.

 

Swami Vivekananda

says here, that

happen there, so said Sai Baba. And

how? Only a saint knows another saint and his ways. Avatar Meher Baba has enlightened us on the mysterious ways of Sai Baba's sayings and happenings. Meher

Baba has said: " ....... the Jivatma in the gross

sphere uses the mind through gross matters; in the subtle sphere, He uses the

mind directly without the aid of gross and subtle means. "

 

Strictly

speaking, unless and until the mental sphere is reached, none really knows what

the mind actually is much less to do things through the medium of the mind

itself to bring our tangible results.

 

Suppose

a pilgrim in Egypt reaches the mental sphere and conceives the idea of visiting

America, the pilgrim has not even to think about America; but simultaneously

with a wish on his part to be there he will find himself actually there

speedier than the time it takes to think about America in the ordinary way. And

how does the pilgrim travel faster than the thought itself? Because he does

not, strictly speaking, travel as the mind is everywhere. The pilgrim in the

mental sphere, whom we address as ‘Mahaan’,

‘Vali’, ‘Maha

Yogi’, can be anywhere he likes without availing his gross and subtle

organs.

 

In

the gross and subtle spheres, the souls work with full consciousness through

the media of the mind, gross and subtle organs. While in the

mental sphere, the soul works with full consciousness through the mind itself

without necessarily using the gross and subtle organs. If the room is dark, the constant feeling and

repeating of darkness will not take it away, but bring in the light. Let us

know that all that is negative all that is destructive is bound to pass away. It is the positive, the

affirmative, the constructive, that is immortal, and that will remain

forever.....
