Sai Baba speaks to you directly

 

By Chakor Ajgaonkar

 

Baba spoke in a few words. But His meaning was deep

and all-pervading. The words could not be commented

upon in Vedic, darshanic and ecclesiastical

words. The interpreter could not analyze or plunge

into his truth fully. His words were exuding direct

veracity of life and spirit. I therefore, quote

him without my intermediary or symbolic diction.

 

Vows and Welfare:

Baba: I cater to your prayers and demands to fulfill

your longings. You approach Me again and again with

new demands. Do not take for granted that My mission

is to feed your wants. It is true that I am bound by

your love.

However, the real reason why I fulfill your wishes is

that there is stark ignorance in you which makes such

childish demands. I wait with hope that you would

realise your ignorance one day and begin to desire and

want what I really yearn to give to you, realising

where your welfare lies. I thirst for this fortunate

and divine hour in your life.

 

This opportunity will never recur:

My dear children, God is standing before you in person

in flesh and blood in the frame of Sai. This is a most

fortunate and uplifting hour. The moment

will never come again. God is standing in front of

your door with a begging bowl in His hand. Awake,

arise and try to know His divine identity and

purpose. Sai is begging you to select the ultimate way

of welfare and fill His bowl. This is a rare

opportunity in your existence. If you fail to

understand, you will be an eternal loser.

 

Offering to God:

What will you offer to the Lord begging at your door?

You have nothing of your own to give Him. All things

in this universe belong to Him. You cannot deceive Him

by offering Him worldly objects like flowers,

water, fruit or even golden or more precious articles

on earth. You have nothing of your own except your

body, mind, intellect and ego. You can offer

these things to Him. This is known as dedication and

surrender. Sai means this offering only when He speaks

of Faith and Perseverance. You have to be

vacant leaving everything at His feet and follow His

dictates by installing Him at the helm of the chariot

of your existence.

 

What you can demand from Sai?

My dear children, my Guru's wealth is lying in the

field in abundance. I am waiting to see when you

realise the wealth and approach me for gifting you

with the fortune. This fortune is not different from

the wealth of liberation which is my Guru's treasure.

You make claims for all other things except my Guru's

treasure. You ask for petty worldly things. When will

you ask for the recitation of name and meditation of

form? When will you merge in God in absolute

surrender? I cannot give you your choicest treasure

unless you stop demanding material benefits and turn

your face to the Lord.

 

Ask for your ultimate welfare:

My dear sons and daughters, rise up from your slumber

of ignorance and long for God's love, proximity and

merger with him. Do not ask for temporary,transient

and fleeting interest in life. Worldly object can be

achieved by labour and efforts. My fakir sarkar's

gifts are limitless and eternal. They

are liberating, relieving and uplifting. Ask for the

auspicious and undying objects that God wishes to

grant you. Ask for His eternal grace. Do not turn

your face away from Godly gifts of grace for petty

material worldly benefits.

 

Comprehension

Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji once made an observation:

" Every word, every image

used for God is a distortion more than a description:

"

Devotee: " Then how does one speak of God? "

Swamiji: " Through silence. "

Devotee: " Why then do you speak in words? "

At that Swamiji smiled and said: " When I speak, you

mustn't listen to the words, my dear. Listen to the

silence. "

 

Meaning

A visitor to Sri Sai Spiritual Centre told a devotee:

" I have traveled a great distance to listen to Sri

Radhakrishna Swamiji, but I find his words

quite ordinary.

Devotee: " Don't listen to his words, Listen to his

message. "

Visitor: " How does one do that? "

Devotee: Take hold of a sentence that he says. Shake

it well till the entire words drop off. What is left

will set your heart on fire. "
