Baba and Miracles

Baba and Miracles

Miracles happened during Baba's life-time and they continued to happen even

after His Mahasamadhi. In fact Baba never did any miracles. It was one of

the part of the Cosmic Flow. Those, who joined the flow, experienced them.

Those, who were only spectators, saw them with awe and doubt. " What is going

to happen " , is a phrase that haunts everyone. Nothing is happening. It is

our limited understanding because of our limited perception. It is there

only we need to join it to be one with it. There should not be separate

identification. When you do not understand your mind, you are not at its

mercy; but when you understand, you are lost in the midst of it.

 

It is the difference between being in bondage to thought or being liberated

by it. The experience of understanding is wisdom; but trying to capture that

understanding, to convey it in words, is knowledge. Spiritualism is to be in

tune with the supreme spirit. The journey to Spiritualism is very confusing

at the beginning. It is even more complicated compared to the journey in the

unknown space, the unknown starry-world. Baba always indicated that he was

in tune with the Supreme flow and never confronted it. His approach was

simple and direct. He did not write volumes. He never preached as a priest.

His life itself was a light-house that emitted light to all, who came to

him. Mystic incidents happened around Baba. They spoke profoundly that Baba

was in the perfect cosmic flow. Meditation is complete friendship with the

self-no confrontation, no side tracking.

 

The whole life of Baba wags a perfect meditation, a continuous awareness. He

watered the trees and the trees whispered to him. He fed the hungry and the

hungry were satisfied. He calmed the distressed. He got angry to set the

things to tune, to merge with the cosmic flow. His presence, his look

brought together all only to understand the supreme " self”. He always

insisted upon the " Witness State " , and he was the supreme witness. He never

confronted with any so called Karmic laws. In the present century this saint

Sai Baba led the common man to real spiritual journey. He respected all

faiths. He upheld valid wholesome customs. He proved efficiently that

spiritual pursuit is not the monopoly of the few. Even today, what we term

as miracles that take place in the common understanding, bring many devotees

together to share the cosmic feeling of oneness. Baba had all the qualities

that are defined in Bhagavadgeeta of a Purushottam. I feel Sai dharma is

growing, growing wildly to create more spiritual shelter to all. It has no

ritual barriers. It has no concrete walls of dogmas. It is like the " air "

which we breathe every second to hold our being. Let Sai truth prevail like

sweet aroma all over.
