The Master - A True Friend Part 1

[Guest guest]

The Master - A True Friend

 

The relationship of the Master and the disciple is unique in

character and we find no parallel to it on earth. While all worldly

connections and ties are more or less tainted by selfishness, the

relation between the Master and the disciple is purely one of

selfless love.

 

Just for the sake of analogy, we may consider the love of a mother

for her child. An infant at birth is just a mere helpless mass of

tender flesh and bones. He cannot express himself and his needs, nor

can he look after himself, but the mother takes tender care of the

tiny piece of humanity. She attends to his every need and looks

after his comforts. In his happiness lies her happiness and in his

sorrow she feels distressed. Day and night she tirelessly works for

the child's welfare and does not consider any sacrifice too great.

She denies herself everything so that her child may have all that

she can afford to give and is ready even to lay down her life for

his sake.

 

As the infant grows, he begins to imbibe his mother's love. The

kindly rays of love pass from eyes to eyes. In mute language he

begins his first lessons in love. Gradually, the toddler is taught

to speak, at first in broken syllables, and the mother's delight

knows no bounds at every success in her endeavors, until he grows

big enough to look after himself.

 

In exactly the same way, when a person is accepted by the Master he

takes a second birth, as it were, into the Master's house. He comes

into the Master's fold full of worldly attachments and dyed deep in

the darkest shades of mind and matter. He is so identified with his

body and bodily relations that he can never think that he is

something apart from them.

 

With his birth in the Master's house, the Master takes upon Himself

an immense load of responsibility. By individual instructions and

attention, He gradually weans the jiva from sense pleasures. He

tells the disciple that he is neither body nor mind nor intellect,

but something more glorious - soul or spirit - and has been endowed

by Nature with various faculties to serve a high purpose in life. By

spiritual discipline, the Master enables him to free his mind of

mental oscillations. Now he develops a state of equipoise, and with

it he begins to evaluate life from a different angle. His entire

outlook is changed and a consciousness of spirit dawns in him.

 

Baba Said

 

" If persons, believing in Him, listen to His leelas, their quest for

milk-(darshana) will be, to a great extent, satisfied by the butter-

milk (Leelas) " .

 

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying ‘Om Sai Ram’ to whom so

ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who

is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and

increase our devotion towards him

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!

A very deep thought:--

" He tells the disciple that he is neither body nor

mind nor intellect, but something more glorious - soul

or spirit - and has been endowed by Nature with

various faculties to serve a high purpose in life "

'sai bless u'
