Message for the week.

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Happy BABA's day to you all. May HIS love, guidance and protection always envelop us.

 

Prayers- they are powerful means of communication with BABA. BABA knows everything, all our wants yet we put forth our demands in front of HIM for their fulfilment, why? The reason is that, as humans we are yet to evolve spiritually. We are bound by our self imposed restraints in terms of thinking that God only hears when we tell HIM things. We forget that HE the OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT always knows what is best for us and makes the things happen accordingly. Sometimes, like a loving mother HE does listen to our tantrums and grants us wishes which are not needed, only to pacify us and also pull us closer towards HIM. Next time we pray, let us ask HIM to do what HE deems best for US, and then watch HIS grace unfold on us. Here is the message for the week...

"Motherly Love of Sai Baba

Everybody knows how a cow loves her infant calf. Her udder is always full and

when the calf wants milk and dashes at the udder, out comes the milk in an

unceasing flow. Similarly a human mother knows the wants of her child and feeds

it, at her breast in time. In case of dressing and adorning the child, the

mother takes particular care to see that this is well done. The child knows or

cares nothing about this, but the mother's joy knows no bounds, when she sees

her child beautifully dressed and adorned. The love of mother is peculiar,

extraordinary and disinterested, and has no parallel. Sadgurus feel this

motherly love towards their disciples. Sai Baba had this same love towards me,

and I give an instance of it below:-

In 1916 A.D. I retired from Government Service. The pension that was settled in

my case was not sufficient to maintain my family decently. On Guru-Pournima

(15th of Ashadha) day of that year, I went to Shirdi with other devotees. There,

Mr. Anna Chinchanikar, of his own accord, prayed to Baba for me as follows:-

"Please look kindly on him, the pension he gets is quite insufficient, his

family is growing. Give him some other appointment, remove his anxiety and make

him happy." Baba replied - " He will get some other job, but now he should serve

Me and be happy. His dishes will be ever full and never empty. He should turn

all his attention towards Me and avoid the company of atheists, irreligious and

wicked people. He should be meek and humble towards all and worship Me heart and

soul. If he does this, he will get eternal happiness".

The question Who is this HE, Whose worship is advocated, is already answered in

a note on "Who is Sai Baba" in the prologue, at the beginning of this work. " Chapter 3 Satcharita

 

BABA bless us and guide us always
