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

[Guest guest]

Even when he was in the human form, Baba declared that he was

formless. Both inside and outside Samadhi, Baba is present. Baba is Samadhi.

Samadhi is Baba. Regarding the Samadhi of Baba, Hemad

Panth says, " The physical form of Baba has left

us but he is always around us in his infinite formless form. Hither to Baba has

many miracles. After his passing away more miracles are being performed by him.

We can therefore understand that he is protecting His Devotees as before. Those

who saw Baba before he dropped the body are truly very fortunate. Among the

contemporaries of Baba if anybody was unable to become a devotee of Baba, it

was really unfortunate. They ought to have erased egoism and eradicated attachments

before they could see Baba. Else, it was their ill luck. Only the blessed ones can see Sai Baba.

 

Even now, one should develop devotion to Baba. One should serve

Baba with love and devotion. Body, mind and intellect must fully be given to

Baba. Partial surrender is useless. You cannot give only a part to

Baba. Without total dedication, you cannot love Baba fully. You cannot serve

God and Mammon. You cannot divide your mind between Baba and the world. It is

better to make total self surrender.

 

Baba has declared that he does all from his Samadhi. Parabrahman has great assignments to fulfill as Guru in

this universe. It is only when that is fulfilled that the cosmic work will be completed.

What is that? It is giving fulfillment to the life of mankind. The fulfillment of human life is Moksha.

 

Where does that fulfillment lie? The fulfillment of human life is Moksha or liberation. To guide us towards liberation, Baba

has come on earth now from his Samadhi. He has offered to give us moksha. Let us therefore request Baba for the highest gift

of Moksha. To do his service activity, Baba has

chosen Samadhi as his center. Though he wants the welfare of all, he is especially

interested in the devotees who seek:

1) self realization 2) cessation of Janma and 3)

liberation

 

These are being done by Baba from his Samadhi. These are his real

duties. When a person understands the value of these, nothing else is sought

after. Then the devotees will listen to the story of Baba, look at Baba always

and remember Baba day in and day out.

 

If Baba enters into our intellect, mind becomes calm. If the

practice of tranquility continues, one attains a state of pure consciousness.

Finally devotees merge in it. Then Sai Samadhi becomes

your mother and father, your Guru and God, your knowledge and life, your cause and effect,

your peace and bliss, your real enlightenment, your soul and salvation and your all in all.

 

Samadhi is another form of Baba. It is the cosmic

center of cosmic energy. It is the giver of liberation to all Jeevas.

This is the fifth holy saying of Baba.

Sai - Peace be to all
