Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The Appearance of Sai Samartha I bow down to Sree Ganesh I bow down to Sree Saraswati I bow down to the Guru I bow down to the Family Deity I bow down to Sree Sita-Ramachandra I bow down to Sree Sadguru Sainath. 1. In the previous two chapters, the invocation was accomplished. Then the purpose for writing this book was told; and, the qualifications of the author to write, introductory reasons and framing of definitions were discussed in detail. 2. Now, for what reasons do the saints take birth on earth, and the sinfulness of the human beings, which leads to their appearance on earth. 3. Oh! you honoured listeners! I am a particle of dust at your feet. Pay attention – is the favour I ask of you, which I am not ashamed to do. 4. As it is, the biography of a saint is pleasing. Moreover, Sai’s story is like nectar, When the numerous devotees of Sai partake it, they are full of happiness. 5. Brahmins are neglecting the duties of caste and birth. The low castes are trying to pass themselves off as Brahmins. The religious teachers are disrespected and the people try to bully others. 6. Nobody cares for the dictates of religion. In every house all are self-styled scholars. One tries to overpower the other and nobody listens to anybody. 7. Drinks and eatables which are forbidden are savoured. Right behaviour and right thinking – all these are completely disregarded. And Brahmins actually eat meat and drink liquour openly. 8. Under the garb of religion, they indulge in atrocities; and spread hatred amongst the sects because of which people are harassed. 9. When the Brahmins are reluctant towards daily bath and offering of prayers; when the orthodox are reluctant to practise the religious rites; and the yogis are reluctant to do recitation and prayers with deep concentration – then the time is ripe for the saints to take birth. 10. When people believe that happiness consists only in society, wealth, status, progeny and family and turn away from spiritual values, then the saints manifest themselves. 11. They lose the highest good because of the decline of dharma. In order to bring about a revival of dharma the saints appear. 12. When people, to the detriment of their health, longevity and prosperity, go astray in pursuing their sexual needs, and completely miss the chance of their upliftment, at such times saints take birth. 13. To protect the religion of Vedic Hinduism, to annihilate the sinfulness and to protect the down-trodden, poor and weak, the saints incarnate on this earth. 14. The saints themselves are liberated souls and are always ready for the betterment of the weak. They take birth only for the sake of others and have no self-interest. 15. They build the foundation in the form of renunciation around the sanctum sanctorum of active worldly life; build the temple of ultimate good and easily elevate the devotees.
