April 2, 2007

48. The Vedas have been unable to describe his greatness and are therefore silent. The devices and niceties of evidence fail. 49. Whenever I use any metaphors to compare you, you have those very attributes. Whatever the eyes see is all that you have created yourself. 50. Sree Sainatha is such – the Compassionate and Powerful Sadguru, who can be known by the Inner Self. All-transcendent, eternal one, to you I bow. 51. Obeisance to you, the best of all, ever blissful, fully contented, self-effulgent, abode of auspiciousness, self-realised, teacher of teachers. 52. The Vedas and Srutis remain silent in their effort to praise you. Whence can I have the intelligence to try and praise you or understand you?. 53. Hail! Hail! Sadguru, treasury of mercy. Hail! Hail! Dweller on the banks of the River Godavari. Hail! Hail! Brahma,

Shankar and Vishnu, Incarnation of Dutta. I bow to you. 54. Brahma’s Brahmanand cannot exist without the Sadguru. I offer38 my five pranas39 to you and with total dedication surrender to you for protection. 55. I bow my head in obeisance, press his feet with my hands, gaze at his face, and inhale the sacred water which washes his feet. 56. Keep listening to the praises of Sai; enshrine his image in the mind and incessantly meditate on Sai. This will break your bonds with worldly life. 57. Offer body, mind and wealth40 completely at the feet of the Sadguru. Spend the entire life serving the Guru. 58. The name of the Guru and the intimate association with the Guru, the grace of the Guru and the milk-like sacred water which has washed his feet; the sacred “mantra” from the Guru and residence in his household – these could be obtained with great efforts. 59. The tremendous power in him, after he has tested the devotee, will take his devotee to the threshold of “moksha”41 without him being conscious of it. 60. The association with the Guru is like the sacred Ganges water which cleanses and makes one pure. It also stabilises the mind on God, which otherwise is fickle. -- to be contdDevotees can read this book from the Book Section of http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index. htm
