Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp-1

[Guest guest]

36. I lay down my forehead at the feet of the eldest brother, of matchless brotherly affection, who would have laid down his own life for my sake. 37. Now I bow down to the listeners, and request their concentration. If they are inattentive, how will I get satisfaction?. 38. Whenever the listeners are intelligent and appreciative and are eager to listen to the narration then, by and by, the narrator becomes more and more enthusiastic. 39. If you are inattentive then what is the purpose of this narration? Therefore, I

prostrate myself and beg of you to listen with a joyful heart. 40. I have no knowledge of the etymology nor am I well versed in the scriptures; neither have I heard various holy tales. You are fully aware of all this. 41. I know my own shortcomings and I know my unworthiness. Yet to fulfil my promise to the Guru, I am making these efforts to write the book. 42. My conscience tells me I am like a blade of grass before you. But please accept me as your own by being merciful to me. 43. Now I recall the Sadguru, bow down to his feet with love, and surrender my body, speech and mind to him who is the giver of wisdom and inspiration. 44. Just as when we sit for meals, the sweet dish is served at the end, in the same way I make obeisance to the Guru as a sweet ending to my prostrations. 45. “Aum”! Obeisance to you Sadgururaya, abode of rest for both the movable and the immovable. You, the dwelling place of the whole world, are the compassionate one. 46. The earth, the seven islands35, nine continents36, the seven heavens37 and the nether world are all born out of the Hiranyagarbha – that itself is the famous Brahmand. 47. The Sadguru dwells far beyond what is known as the “maya”, which that Brahmand creates here and which is invisible or illusory. -- to be contdDevotees can read this book from the Book Section of http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index. htm
