5th Saying I perform all my duties from my tomb.

[Guest guest]

We must understand what Samadhi is and what is its power? Sai's Samadhi is different from the Samadhies

of ordinary people. The ordinary Samadhi of the mortals is dead and lifeless.

 

Sai Baba's Samadhi is vibrant and conscious. Ordinary Samadhi is the

place of a dead body. Sai's Samadhi has a cosmic

body. Ordinary Samadhi is lifeless, Baba's Samadhi is life giving. Ordinary

Samadhi is inert, Baba's Samadhi is awareness. Ordinary Samadhi will be

destroyed one day. Sai's Samadhi will be permanent.

Ordinary Samadhi is in darkness, Sai's Samadhi

spreads light. The person in the ordinary Samadhi is forgotten soon. Sai's Samadhi is remembered by all, all time. Ordinary

person's Samadhi is the cause of next birth; Baba's Samadhi is free from birth

and death forever. Ordinary Samadhi is the body of the jeeva;

Sai's Samadhi is the temple of Paramatma. Ordinary

Samadhi belongs to one religion. Sai's Samadhi is the

worship center of all religions. Ordinary Samadhi is either in a burial ground

or in a cremation ground. Sai's Samadhi is in the

sacred land of Shirdi. Ordinary

Samadhi contains the body of an ignorant person. Sai's

Samadhi contains the body of a Brahma Jnani.

 

Sai Baba does his divine deeds from this powerful center of cosmic

energy. Let us try to know what they are. Baba is for his devotees. All the

responsibilities and burdens of the devotees are borne by Baba.

 

What do the devotees and Baba do?

Devotee eats; Baba feeds.

Devotee sleeps, Baba sings lullaby.

Devotee walks, Baba supports.

Devotee sees; Baba shows the light.

Devotee laughs, Baba makes him laugh.

Devotee weeps; Baba consoles.

Devotee loves, Baba teaches him to love.

Devotee prays; Baba accepts his prayer.

Devotee does Japa, Baba is in his Japa.

Devotee surrenders. Baba grants self-realisation.

 

In addition to the above Baba do infinite favors to His devotees.

It is for them that he manifested in Shirdi. Many a divine incarnation

came to earth to do good to the people. They have no work other than protecting the

devotees. Welfare activities are continuously carried out by Baba from the

Samadhi. It is our duty to understand Baba and the significance of his

activities.
