Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 31. What are we to do to obtain our desired ends with the help of Baba? There are some who raise questions even preliminary to this. Is it not better not to desire at all? Is it not degrading to go on praying or asking for this or that? To persons who really care for nothing i.e., to advanced Viraktas, this question really will not arise. They are not compelled or induced to go to Sai Baba. See Bhagavatha - ‘Nirgrantinopi.. Iththam bhutha guno Harih’ - i.e., viraktas are attracted by the nishkamya leelas of the Lord. Sai Baba’s leelas were purely unmotivated by desire. His whole life in the flesh was one continuous self-sacrifice for the sake of humanity. In serving Man, he was serving God; and he advised his devotees to do the same. 32. Undoubtedly it is better not to desire than to have desires and to seek their gratification through the help of Sai Baba etc. But how many are there who can calmly reason thus and find power to crush the roots of desire in their hearts? If there are any such among the readers, they are not asked to seek Baba’s help or God’s help, if that is different, to attain any objects. Even the desire for mukti - liberation - is a desire; and even to attain that, people pray and seek the aid of experts, i.e., sages who know the way to liberation and who are gracious enough to extend their help to those who seek help.
