8th Saying If you look to me I look after you

[Guest guest]

In your view, Baba is your faith and in your

heart, he is seated

as Paramatma. You are sure to he guided by your

father and by his godly grace you are sure to be happy and blissful.

 

In your view, Baba is your sadguru and

in your heart he is established as Brahmananda swaroop. You will certainly enjoy the state of enlightment. You will have self-realization. You are sure

to realize that you are that Parabrahman, and thereby

enjoy peacefully that permanent bliss, you will be absorbed in divine bliss.

 

What should a sadhaka do to get divine

bliss? You are only to fix your mental eye on Baba. Ignorant people keep their

eyes and mind always on the world. That is not sufficient. That is incorrect,

one must turn inward, those who look at the world

cannot see Baba or his divinity. Only devotees capable of inner visions can see

Baba.

 

To develop devotion and grow the inner vision, let us follow the

precept of Hemad Panth. He

is a devotee who has given us a pure, godly and great guidance. The path

suggested by him is easy to accept. Let us listen to his advice and follow his

example. He says, " if only you listen to the stories of Baba every day,

you can see him. Day in and day out, remember him and his message in your mind.

If you can fill your mind with the thoughts of Baba always, your mind will not

be feeble. If you continue to fix your mind on Baba, you will merge with pure

consciousness. "

 

The way to attain Baba's grace is indeed very sweet and simple.

Only with a little effort, we can see Baba. If we continue to see him always in

our mind, we will certainly enjoy his grace.

 

Then what incidents of Baba's life should we

read, hear and remember:

All the important Leelas of Baba's life

as narrated in 'Shri Sai Satcharitra'
