Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- X

August 7, 2007

61. Many such Gurus are there who collect a number of disciples around them and who forcefully give a mantra in the ear (secretly), merely to make money. 62. They teach their disciples righteousness, but their own behaviour is contrary. How will they help them to cross the worldly ocean and avoid life and death? 63. To make known his piety

(religious merit) or let his name reach far and wide, that was not at all his intention. Such was Sai! 64. There was no bodily pride in him. He had great love for his disciples. Always, this was his nature. Such was Sai! 65. There are two types of Gurus – “Niyata” (decided by destiny) and “Aniyata”. For the sake of the listeners, the working of each one will be explained. 66. The ‘aniyata’ Guru stresses on the development of the divine qualities and purification of the mind. These are the only things that an aniyata Guru can grant. He can also show the path of moksha. 67. When a bond is established with a ‘niyata’ Guru, the two-fold nature of the self disappears. Oneness with God takes place and he gives witness to the great statement that “God and yourself are not different”. 68.

The universe is full of Gurus, who manifest for the sake of the devotees and when their mission is complete they take samadhi. 69. Sai is of the second category of Gurus. How can I describe him. I will write as he guides me. 70. There are many teachers available for physical sciences. But he who brings his student to realise his own nature is the Sadguru. He is the Real, the great one who can take you across the worldly ocean. His greatness is imperceptible. 71. Whoever goes to take darshan, Sai tells

him the past, the present, and the future. Sai, without being asked, knows and narrates the motives and intentions, and everything in detail. 72. He who looks at everything and at all creatures as Brahman itself, who looks upon friends and foes with equality and who does not discriminate the least, 73. he is without expectations and regards everything equally, showers nectar of blessing even on those who have done harm to him. His mind remains unperturbed in good times or bad times. He entertains no

doubts. 74. Though living in this perishable body, he is not entangled in the bonds of the body. Outwardly, he looks a physical being but inwardly, he is without body. Such a person is truly liberated though with a body. 75. Blessed are those residents of Shirdi whose deity is Sai and who worship him and who constantly think of him while eating, drinking or sleeping. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
