6th Saying My human body would speak from my Tomb

[Guest guest]

On account of his divine right and purity of truthfulness, his

command was adhered to by the poison. While saving the life of Shyama, Baba's voice played a prominent role. Now we

understand the efficacy of Baba's voice. Even poison was obedient to Baba.

Death did not dare to disobey Baba.

 

Only Lord Shiva was able to keep poison under control. He alone

was able to keep snakes as ornaments. That Parameshwara

is Eswara. The ascending fire was commanded to keep

quiet by Baba. He ordered the fire to be quiet and harmless. Soon the fires

receded. Uiey became quiet. Baba has power over fire

as well. All the five elements are tamed by Baba.

 

When the cyclone was about to devour, Shirdi Baba commanded it to

go back. In a few moments, the storm disappeared and there was only a gentle

shower. There was calmness and the sky was clear with the moon shining. Water,

wind and sky are also very obedient to Baba. The entire cosmos acknowledged the

supremacy of Baba and his power. The voice of Baba is bur the sound of Pranava. It is Om. Om is the source of all sounds. It is the creator. Sai Baba is but that

great Om. Om is the source. Om is the under current of

all. Om is the culmination of all.

 

Baba can speak from anywhere with or without his body as well. He

talked to the people of Shirdi many a noble truth. Precious advice and

preaching were delivered by Baba. Blessed were the people who had heard him.

They are lucky to he benefited by his instructions.

 

Even now Baba speaks from Samadhi. How can we listen to his voice?

The external sound of Baba is now absent. It is now an inner voice in every one

of us. He is available in all our hearts and from there he speaks, he declares,

" I live in every heart and rule over every heart. "

 

Sai's Samadhi is not anywhere

else. It is in the devotee's heart. It is from there that Baba speaks. He

speaks only love. Those who understand the language of heart's love can alone

understand it. Baba's words can be understood only by his loving devotees. If

you do not hear his voice, it means you are deaf mentally and it also means

that you have no devotion towards Baba.

Your body may not be near the Samadhi of Baba, but your mind

should be not only close to Baba, but should be immersed in Baba. Mind has only

two dwelling places-one is Baba and the other is the world of Maya. If your

mind is not given to Baba, it means that it is caught in Maya. Therefore Baba

said that every devotee should have two qualities. One is patience and the

other is sincerity-Be a sincere devotee and wait for Baba's grace with patience.

 

The sincerity and faith of Shyama must

be present in us to win Baba's grace. Then, we too will be protected as Shyama was protected.
