Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 The mystique of Sai's teachings Sri Sai teachings are the beautiful, ever fresh flowers filled with the divine nectar. The divine fragrance of his teachings quietly draws the people towards them. The teachings are mystical in the sense that they are with a divine meaning beyond human understanding. The truth is one and it is expressed in different ways. (Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti). It is a fact that with one's limited mind and intellect it is difficult to understand the Guru in totality. No concepts can be built that will truly understand the Guru. We need the blessings of the Sadguru who gives us the necessary intelligence to understand his teachings. This could be seen with Sri Hemadpant seeking the grace of Baba to write the Satcharita. Guru is that infinite energy source that brings the realization in us to our higher, true nature. The actions of Sri Sai go by the name Saileela. Leela means the divine play of the Lord. Sri Sai is the perfect teacher who knows the needs and talents of the students. He gave advice to every one based on their inner spiritual growth. This can be seen in Sri Sai satcharita in various occasions. Baba's mode of teaching is simple and yet profound. In Saisatcharita, one can clearly see the way Baba interacted with the people on day-to-day basis. He did not teach too intellectually to those who just want to learn how to get through the day. At the same time, he did not forsake basic teachings of love, kindness, charity, etc. However, for those capable of hearing the profound truths of the scriptures, he did not hold back. He perceived the inner essence of every one as the same. If we read Sri Sai's life regularly, we will find the teachings come to our mind at appropriate times. Baba's teachings start to come into our life in our every day experience. Slowly, we will learn how to apply the teachings on the spot in the situations we face in our lives. When times are tough, doing parayana or listening to the teachings of the Guru can help one to stay sane. They connect us with the universal goodness and energize us with the universal energy. By understanding the teachings of the teacher, one can always stay in touch with the essential and true healthy mind present in each one of us. http://www.saibaba.org/newsletter8-42.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
