The basic principles of the Sai path

[Guest guest]

…… " Sitting in Shirdi Masjid, Baba had said that there are many paths,

but one of the paths leads to God through Dwarkamayi. When one

analyses how Baba led thousands of people towards God realization at

Shirdi a certain pattern evolves. The basic principles of the Sai

path are based on:

 

(a) The existence in physical form of a perfect being known variously

as a Perfect Master, a Sadguru or a Qutub as called by the Sufis. A

Qutub simply means an axis, a pivot around which others, both living

and non-living, revolve. The Perfect Master, having himself

experienced different stages of evolution including that of man has

at last reached the stage of God. However, those among these perfect

beings, who out of infinite compassion, make the greatest sacrifice

of not enjoying the blissful state of God but incarnate in a human

body on earth to serve the imperfect, suffering humanity are called

the Perfect Masters. As Meher Baba has said, at any point of time

there are five Perfect Masters on the earth in embodied form.

 

(b) When in human body they act both as human beings and Gods. As

Gods they have infinite power, infinite knowledge, infinite happiness

and infinite existence. Like God they are Omnipotent, Omnipresent and

Omniscient enjoying the powers of the Almighty. They share their

power, knowledge and pleasure with the millions of human beings by

methods un¬perceivable by human beings and are known as Leelas or

divine miracles. All miracles are based on the laws of nature, only

one has to know, experience and master it. All the elemental forces

of nature like fire, water, air etc. defined as deities by the

Hindus, work under their command or wish. As Gods they see everything

in themselves and themselves in everything. So they serve everyone

without any differentiation as if they are serving themselves. They

see God in everyone, even though others may not be able to see God in

them. They give infinite love to others and take infinite pain from

others. Once any human being or any species is linked with them in

any manner, they ensure that these creatures are evolved, life after

life till they merge with God from where they came. This ultimate

stage of evolution is ordinarily known as Mukti or Moksha.

 

© These Perfect Masters alone are capable of leading human beings

to God realization. They follow what is common and universal in all

religions i.e., humanism based on love. Out of love they not only

take care of the spiritual evolution of the devotees but also their

temporal requirements. Once one has surrendered to them they look

after all needs of the devotee as a mother would do for a child. They

can go to any extent, even to sacrifice their human body, to protect

their children. That's what Baba did for many as can be read in Sri

Sai Satcharitra, and as experienced by many. To develop closer and

closer link with Him, one has to develop faith in Him, even patiently

under the most trying circumstances. Also, to develop the qualities

of humility, sacrifice, tolerance and steadfastness in devotion and

actions desired by the Sadguru. One will evolve earlier than others

worshipping too many deities if he follows this path of Guru. Baba

used to give visions to many people in the form of their deities,

like Hanuman, Ganesh etc. which convinced them that there is no

difference between Baba and any other deity or even God. One can

therefore, at the first stage try to see all deities in Baba, worship

Him in the method in which other deities are worshipped. In short,

one should try to see and seek everything in and from Baba. This path

may be difficult at the initial stage but can certainly be achieved

with steadfastness and faith in Baba. So let us try. " …….

Important messages:--

Once any human being or any species is linked with

sadguru in any manner, they ensure that these

creatures are evolved, life after life till they merge

with God from where they came.

 

Out of love they not only take care of the spiritual

evolution of the devotees but also their temporal

requirements.

 

One should try to see and seek everything in and from

Baba.

" Swami has been stating that we need to look beyond his physical form

itself. There are lots of definitions given for the Atma such

as " Being awareness and Bliss " or Satchithananda.

If one can clearly understand this concept or principle then only the

true realization can be engrained in every human being. "

---well said!!!

--well explained the concept with sai grace!!!
